Chapter 740


    Hannah did not even drive her car. She walked some distance to the quieter area away from the main


    streets and hailed a cab.


    She remained uneasy the whole way and only gradually felt better when she was in Chuck’s territory.


    The cab stopped at the junction, not directly to Chuck’s residence. This was a tacit understanding they


    shared after so long.


    She walked another distance to keep things under the radar after getting out of the cab. Today,


    however, she felt like there was a pair of eyes on her from the back when she made a turn into the


    quiet alley.


    Hannah shuddered and jogged on with her head lowered, but the feeling of being watched stayed with


    her.


    She turned around, but there was no one behind her, yet when she moved forward, the footsteps


    behind her sounded clear in the alley.


    She stopped, blinking, and took another alley. Then, she quickly slipped into Chuck’s apartment.


    After ensuring no one was following her, she opened the door with a key. The obscene sight that


    greeted her nearly made her cough blood!


    Chuck was f*cking two foreign women on the couch, and they were on the Thurks rug she had bought


    him!


    “Argh! You b*stard! You animal!”


    Hannah shrieked and grabbed the vase next to her to throw it at them. The threesome could not react


    in time, and one of the women got hit on the head, resulting in arge gash and a lot of blood. The


    other woman ran out in fright without even putting anything on.


    Chuck growled and grabbed Hannah by the neck to throw her against the wall. Hysterical cries, a fight,


    and curses were then heard in the room.


    The loud noises went on for more than half an hour before they came to a stop.


    When Chuck’s underlings came in to clean things up, Hannah was on the floor with a bruised face, and


    Chuck’s face also had a few bloodied scratches.


    The woman whose head was busted from the vase Hannah had thrown was sent to the hospital.


    “You sick b*stard… You’ve got no conscience!” Hannah cried, “Chuck Cole, I’ve been together with you


    for years, and this is how you treat me!?”


    Chuck lit up a cigarette and threw her an impatient nce.


    Hannah sat up and cried, mming the floor, “I wouldn’t have lost that person if I had known! I should


    let them follow me till we got here! Why should I protect you? I should let the Bakers know about you


    and let them take care of you…”


    “What did you say?” Chuck red and yanked her up from the floor. “F*cking say that again!?”


    Hannah snorted, “You’re scared too?”


    “Who followed you?” Chuck narrowed his eyes, his saliva flying as he questioned, “Speak up, who


    followed you!?”


    Hannah nearly suffocated from his choke.


    Despite that, her mind worked unusually well in moments when oxygen was scarce. Even though she


    had no idea who was following her, if she could drag Cordelia into this and let Chuck get rid of her…


    she would save herself a lot of effort!


    “Chuck…” She held his wrist. “Listen to me. It’s Cordelia… Zephyr’s wife, Cordelia!”


    “What?” Chuck knew nothing about her.

    It was just that he did hear about the Baker patriarch doting on his grandson even though thetter was


    not a Baker, so the Baker Group was actually under a Hamerton’s reign. The woman the Hamerton kid


    couldy eyes on must not be a regr one!


    Chuck snickered, “How do you know she’s the one who sent the guy?”


    “She… She’s probably suspecting,” Hannah said with pauses. “I could hear between the linesst time.


    She’s skeptical about ourpany and money! Chuck, you’ve got to—”


    “I’ve got to pull my funds out!” Chuck rubbed his hands and paced around the apartment.


    Hannah was surprised. She wanted to say that he had to get rid of Cordelia as soon as possible. No


    one f*cking asked him to withdraw anything!


    How was Ava going to be the female lead if he pulled his money out!?


    “Chuck, what I mean is—”


    “Stopundering the money first!” Chuck waved a hand. “Yourpany’s already registered anyway.


    away! I’llunder it after things quiet down and that little b*tch stops suspecting!”


    “But how will the production go on if you pull out?”


    “Are you stupid?” Chuck red at her. “Isn’t there the Baker Group’s money without mine? Can’t they


    afford to shoot a film?”


    Hannah choked and was unable to speak for some time.


    Chuck only had himself to consider. He had never considered how humiliated she would be in front of


    Janine and how embarrassed her daughter would be in front of the Bakers if he pulled out the funds!


    No matter how much she had contributed and sacrificed, she could not warm him up!


    Perhaps she had expected too much of him. If he did love her, why would he openly hook up with other


    women?


    Hannah took a deep breath. “Chuck, the money’s transferred to Prestige Agency. If we pull it back, it


    might…”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…


    “What? Are you thinking of taking all my money!?” Chuck arched his brow.


    “Of course not.” Hannah was still afraid of him. “It’s just that it takes time to pull the funds back. A big


    sum like this requires a few days.”


    “It’s fine. I can wait!” Chuck said and went back to his room with his hands on his back.


    Hannah stood rooted with chills slowly seeping from the bottom of her heart.


    …


    Zephyr went to Cordelia’s checkup with her and received his secretary’s call when they were waiting for


    the result.


    “Sir, we’ve looked into the ounts between Hannah and the man. There’s also a sum that went


    through Prestige Agency but is being pulled back these days. The sum is huge, so it hasn’t been


    completed yet. We’ve screenshot the transaction to keep as evidence.”


    “Mm, well done!” Zephyr smiled and told Cordelia the good news after he ended the call.


    “We have the evidence now, but we can’t rm them,” Cordelia analyzed calmly. “Chuck is from the


    gangs. He’ll do anything once his buttons are pushed! We have to be careful.”


    “Of course.” Zephyr swiped a finger across her nose. “Protecting my wife’s safety is the priority!”


    “And our son’s!”


    “Oh, fine,” the man answered reluctantly. “Can’t forget the son no matter when…”


    “Mr. and Mrs. Hamerton! The result is out.” The nurse came to them. “The report’s here. Pleasee


    with me. The doctor would like to have a word with you.”
