Hannah acted as if she was telling someone else's story, without any mood swings.
She calmly watched Charles's face change and said peacefully, "In my previous life, I gave my everything to you without complaint or regret. For you, I swallowed all my pride and quietly assisted you as a devoted wife, helping you advance your career and fight against Oscar. You know what? Oscar had been brilliant enough without me, not only in this life. To put it plainly, in my last life, you just couldn't win Oscar whatever you did. As for me... at last, I died, stabbed to death by you. Do you know what you said to me when you stabbed me to death?"
Charles clenched his fist. He looked at Hannah with a twisted and ferocious face, thinking that Hannah was making up a lie to satirize him. However, deep inside his heart, there was a voice saying that all she said seemed to be true.
"You said, 'Hannah, I've never loved you. I'm tired of sleeping with you. Sarah is much better and sexier in bed.'" Hannah said indifferently.
She thought she had forgotten everything that had happened to her. She knew one cannot live in the past forever. However, when she recalled and said these things out loud at this moment, she found that she still remembered everything so clearly. She still had an intense hatred of him.
"You also told me that the reason why I didn't get pregnant for ten years was that you put birth control pills into my food. Meanwhile, I was silly enough to be tortured by your parents and your lovely sister for a whole decade, because I failed to get pregnant. I endured physical and mental pain, thinking that your families meant no harm and that you truly loved me."
She smiled. No matter how much resentment there had been, she just kept smiling, making it impossible for others to read her emotions.
Well, she had many reasons to laugh at this moment-she now trampled Charles to death and she had avenged herself on them. She had every reason to laugh as a victor and mock the defeated Charles.
"Later, after you got the controlling interest of the Cooper Group, I was useless. I realized that everything I had given to you was a shame. I then died under your knife in one swoop. Now, I can still remember the expressions on your face when you killed me. So cruel and cold-blooded, without any hint of mercy." Hannah recalled Charles's face while saying.
How overbearing Charles was at that time! But how wretched he was now!
Charles showed an extremely gloomy complexion. He was unwilling to believe a single word she said. He told himself that she was deliberately torturing him, tormenting his sanity and making him break down.
However, everything Hannah said was exactly the same as what he had planned in the first place.
He pretended to love her very much and then married her. After that, he made full use of Hannah's love for him to take control of Cooper Group step by step. Once he got the Cooper Group, he would be eligible to be part of the aristocratic families. It was also true that he had been secretly colluding with Sarah, and he had thought that once he got his way, he would stab Hannah to death. After so many years of acting with her, the only way to make him feel that his efforts paid off was to stab her to death in a cruel way.
Charles gradually lost control of his emotions at the thought of this, yet Hannah still ignored his feelings.
"You prevent me from getting pregnant, didn't you? In this life, you are not qualified to be a father either. You don't deserve it!" Hannah played down her animosity.
She merely answered blows with blows. At that time, when Theodore was asked to cause Sarah's car accident, he was shocked. It might never occur to him that Hannah would be so ruthless. However, she didn't feel a single ounce of guilt. Not even to this day. This was just Charles's retribution.
"It was also me who rescued Sarah. I knew your artifices all too well. Women who fell into your hands would end up suffering the same fate as me. So once Sarah turned against you, your good days were over." Hannah was telling Charles the reasons for his failure point by point.
"Sure enough, Sarah accused you in public. You lost the support of the Collins family, a powerful backer. And you became this miserable prisoner now!" She poured salt into his wounds over and over again.
"That's enough!" Charles kept his fists clenched. He didn't want to listen to a single word anymore. The reason why he was put in prison was that he was not as competent as others, so he was beaten by Hannah. He admitted that. The emotions he suppressed were bursting out little by little.
Hannah turned a blind eye to the changes in Charles's emotions. It seemed that she was just looking at a stranger.
"Let me tell you one more thing." Hannah said, "The Collins family approached me and invited me to work with them. I'll send Oscar to heights you've never even dreamed of getting! After 20 years of prison, you'll see the day arrives!"
