Chapter 34 A Trap (2) It’s Originally a Sham Marriage
“Hannah, didn’t you hate night clubs?” Charles asked.
Hannah smiled, “It’s precisely because I have never been to one that I want to try it for myself before
marriage.”
Charles immediately showed an excited face, “Then let me accompany you.”
Even Susan felt that this was so sickening. She turned to Oscar and Theodore, “We’re going to the
Emperor Club. It’s your place, you wouldn’t be giving us the no here, would you?”
“I am fine with anything.” Oscar looked a little nonchalant.
Susan glanced at Theodore.
“Of course I’m with Oscar here.”
“Those who are not in the know who think that something is going on with the two of you.” Susan
commented without any reservation all of a sudden.
Theodore was speechless, “I’m straight, you know.”
“Then are you saying that Mr Wells is on the receiving end of things?” Susan’s laughter was
exaggerated.
Oscar shot a glance at Susan.
He didn’t seem to want to argue with this woman.
However, everyone had to admit that Susan was the bringer of laughter anywhere she went.
“Then, Jane and Mary, you should go along too.” Susan pretended to call out nonchalantly.
Hannah was of the opinion that Susan would be able to handle being the one organizing this trip to the
nightclub.
This woman wasn’t good at all at anything else, but she was always the best when it came to
organizing things.
Jane and Mary exchanged a glance.
Jane then replied, “I need to ask my father for this. Our curfew is very tight.”
She was putting on an act as a goody-two-shoes.
Susan couldn’t help feeling disdainful at her performance.
She knew very well what Jane was made of.
Jane had made herself out to be someone who wanted all the love from men in the world. She was
even more disgusting than Martina.
At least, Martina was always faithful to Manuel.
“I will follow my sister on this. If she goes, so will I; If she doesn’t want to, I won’t go too.” Mary stated
her opinion.
In the eyes of any outsider, the relationship between this pair of siblings must have been very close.
“Then you should go ask for their permission. Ask your brother Wayne too whether he wants to go so
that he won’t complain about me leaving him out.” Susan reminded them.
“Got it.”
Jane led Mary and they left.
Susan had nothing to worry about. Jane would go no matter what.
Hannah scanned her surroundings and saw that Manuel was not far away.
“Manuel.” Hannah called out to him.
Manuel came to her with a glass of wine in his hand.
He seemed to notice that a crowd had formed in this area.
“What’s wrong?” Manuel asked Hannah.
Hannah began, “Susan will bring us to the nightclub together. You should join us.”
Manuel seemed to glance at Susan while Susan pretended not to be a part of their conversation as she
hooked her arms around Henry’s.
“We’ll go together.” Hannah said, “You’ve just been back home, you should try to familiar yourself with
the gang of Kensbury City.”
“Okay.” Manuel agreed to go.
He was easy to talk to.
Furthermore, since they were young, Manuel always complied to Susan and even Hannah. He
normally wouldn’t reject any of their wants and needs.
After her miserable past life, she knew very well how great of a man Manuel was!
How did Susan lose this man that easily?
“I and Mary can go too. We have gotten permission from my father.” At that moment, Jane came over
and said in a low voice, “My brother has something to do later at night, so he can’t join us. He asked us
to enjoy our time.”
“If that’s the case, we should depart anytime soon now.” Susan immediately got into action, “Theodore,
tell your club to prepare a luxury suite for us.”
“Alright.” Theodore agreed immediately.
Those who didn’t know them would thought that they were good friends.
But in fact, it just so happened that they were part of the same circle; they never actually had any
personal interaction before.
Susan was able to appear close to anyone she wished to. And nobody would feel strange about that.
The trip was settled.
Hannah informed her parents and the lot of them headed to the Emperor Club.
Hannah still felt uncomfortable in that environment.
She endured the discomfort as she went into the luxury suite.
Susan was there before her, and at that moment she was already singing at the top of her lungs on her
microphone.
Her singing was not half-bad, which made the atmosphere lively and fun.
Anyone who came near her would be enchanted by her spirit, and more or less, they would feel less
awkward.
The fact was that not everyone in this gang was familiar with each other.
When Susan was done with a song, she saw that everyone had arrived. She called for everyone to
hold their glasses, “Let’s drink to our reunion, and the theme is ‘it’s good to be young’.”
Hannah couldn’t help but laugh.
She was right.
It was good to be young.
She was suddenly younger ten years in this life.
In ten years, she would be able to do what she couldn’t do in her past life.
“Cheers.” Susan screamed loudly.
Everyone toasted to each other and started to drink.
After finishing their first glasses, Susan began to choose songs.
Theodore did the same too.
The two of them couldn’t decide who would go first as she argued, “Theodore, you are in the nightclub
all day all night. Aren’t you tired of singing already?”
“You sound like you aren’t always in night clubs yourself.” Theodore refuted.
“Isn’t this your place? You should just prioritize your guest.”
“ This gathering is organized by you, and I’m just providing the place. You are the host here.”
“So you aren’t going to be gentlemanly today?”
“I am.” Theodore said, “But my gentlemanly spirit only appears when I am with our young master
Oscar.”
“See, I knew that you guys have something going on.” Susan flashed a knowing look on her face.
Theodore didn’t want to continue this meaningless argument, “Enough, I won’t take advantage of you
today. We will choose one song and sing together.”
“Great idea. What do you want to sing?” Susan asked.
“Hiroshima mon amour.”
“Do you have a crush for me?” Susan spoke something outrageous once again.
Theodore rolled his eyes at her, “Don’t you know that any couple who sing this song would end up
separating afterwards?”
“Is that so?” Susan found it hard to believe, “Anyway, don’t fall for me. I already have my heart set for
someone.”
Theodore flashed a sarcastic smile upon hearing that.
He noticeably glanced at Manuel who was silent on one side.
Manuel noticed his gaze and he followed his line of sight.
His eyes met Susan’s inexplicably.
Susan hastily turned her attention elsewhere.
At the same time, the intro to the song began, which halted the childish banter between Susan and
Theodore.
The two of them sang the song animatedly.
In the suite, the others began to toast to each other and started drinking.
Putting aside their actual relationship, this was obviously a drinking session like a business
appointment.
Everyone started to put on their facades when interacting with each other.
“Mr Wells, we do indeed share a special bond here. This is the first time Kensbury City has two
persons on the list of outstanding and influential persons in so many years. Let me toast to you.”
Charles took the initiative to toast Oscar. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
In the eyes of any outsider, Charles would always appear as a humble gentleman.
Oscar didn’t refuse him as he raised his glass. He suddenly peeked at Hannah, “Your fiancée coming
too?”
He always addressed Hannah as “Miss Cooper”, but his sudden change of words to “your fiancée”
immediately made her feel that Oscar was antagonistic.
Hannah somehow remembered her kiss with Charles at the back garden.
But she didn’t have any need to feel guilty.
After all, the arrangement between her and Oscar was originally a sham marriage.
