Chapter 37 A Trap (3) Achieving the Goal
When Hannah went to the private room, people inside were still in high spirits.
After all, with Susan being there, there was no possibility to have an awkward silence.
When Susan found Hannah was back at this moment, she hurriedly went over and hugged her.
Probably drunk, she looked unstable when she was walking at this moment.
Hannah supported Susan, who couldn't stand still when she got drunk.
"If you can't drink, drink lesser." Hannah reminded her.
Susan was originally flopping on Hannah's arms but as she heard Hannah's words, she immediately stood up straight on her feet, "Don't look down upon me!"
She looked exactly like a naughty girl.
Hannah helped her to sit on the sofa but she instantly got up again.
She could not be rested for a second when drunk.
Susan suddenly picked up the wine glass from the coffee table and handed it to Hannah.
Hannah did not drink tonight, not a single drop.
She was not good at drinking so Charles drink for her. When he was drunk, many things could happen as a matter of course.
She suddenly realized that Oscar's intentional actions were apparently not just because he was unhappy.
He was deliberately digging a pit for Charles.
Probably it was because he really understood too well Charles's personality of being determined to save face so he deliberately provoked him to let him drink more and get drunk faster. Oscar was indeed a lot better at calculating than she thought.
"Hannah, we're in the nightclub now, you must drink." Susan forced her.
Hannah glared at her.
"I don't care, you must get drunk together with me tonight." Susan acted like a spoiled child.
"If you don't drink, I'll leave." Susan threatened.
Susan sometimes was like a child who never grew up, but she had been suddenly tragically hurt to a great extent one day in her previous life.
She did not want to recall everything that had passed in the last life.
At this moment, she just took Susan's wine glass and drank all the wine in the glass.
Susan's eyes widened.
At that moment, it was as if she had become sober.
She was kidding with Hannah as usual, but she never expected that Hannah would drink it.
They grew up together since little. Hannah was often giving her sister-like warmth, so from time to time, she would act like a spoiled child in front of Hannah. She was slightly drunk so she wanted to be intimate a little more with Hannah by asking her to drink.
In fact, Hannah was not someone who totally did not drink. When they dined together, she would still drink a bit under Susan's compulsion. But, she would not do it on such an occasion as she usually did. There was one thought in Susan's mind while she was staring at Hannah.
She had utterly changed.
But Susan did not care anymore, for she thought whatever Hannah did was right.
If Hannah did something wrong, she would even do the wrong thing with her.
She drank all the wine inside her glass as well.
Susan simply did not take enough great pleasure in it so she poured a few cups again and drank with Hannah.
When the other people in the room saw Hannah drinking, they also took the initiative to come over and drink with her.
Hannah didn't refuse any of their invitation.
In between, Charles had come over to drink for her but he had gotten his hands full already, being plied with drink by Oscar, Theodore, Susan and even Jane and Mary. Finally, Charles couldn't care about Hannah.
The truth was, in the choice between himself and Hannah, Charles would never hesitate and would only choose himself.
"Hannah." Manuel sat next to her.
Hannah was a little dizzy. She realized that was how the feeling of being drunk was.
It was not too bad though.
Looking at Manuel, she even took the initiative to pick up the glass, "Manuel, I would like to have a glass with you."
Seeing Hannah in a high mood, Manuel, who originally wanted to remind her not to drink too much, drank a glass of wine with her at this moment instead of refusing.
Then Hannah said, "Don't you two want to drink?"
She was referring to Manuel and Susan.
Susan was full of reluctance, while Manuel took the initiative to pour a glass of wine.
He said, "Susan, let me toast you and Henry."
Susan pursed her lips. She was speculating about Manuel's attitude to her by calling her name.
Before Susan answered, Manuel called Henry who was sitting next to him.
Henry was almost silent all night.
In the past, Hannah had thought that Henry was an orphan so he would be a bit withdrawn. She would even have the same thoughts as Susan that Henry needed more care. But he was indeed using this way to get sympathy from people.
And therefore, everyone could not defend themselves against something unexpected from him.
Henry sat next to Susan.
Manuel started the topic, "I heard Uncle Edward say the other day that you guys are getting married soon."
"Oh." Susan answered.
Then she remembered she had mentioned to her father that she wanted to get married to Henry and then move out.
It was just a casual remark for her but Edward took it seriously.
"Susan is my younger sister, you couldn't pick on her in the future." Manuel said to Henry with a gentle tone.
Susan was inexplicably a little annoyed.
She had never treated Manuel as an elder brother.
"I wish you two a happy wedding in advance." Manuel smiled sincerely.
"Thanks." Henry was not enthusiastic but he still raised his glass anyway.
Susan, however, did not raise her hand.
She was unwilling to drink with Manuel just like she was not unwilling to sing with him.
Henry sensed Susan's emotions and wrapped her in his arms. He said, "Susan is perhaps a little drunk."
Manuel did not mind. And he did not mean to debunk his lie either.
"Then she shouldn't drink, I'll toast you." Said he.
"No problem." Henry and Manuel clinked glasses.
Then, Manuel left.
It was probably because he did not want to disturb anyone.
Hannah looked at Manuel's back and glanced back at Susan.
Susan was still in Henry's arms and did not mean to say goodbye to Manuel.
Everyone was somewhat drunk.
Hannah and Charles were both drunk.
On the other hand, Susan was clearly the one who drank the most throughout. She was still able to bounce.
It seemed that her body structure was different from normal people's.
Hannah turned her head to look at Jane and Mary.
The two of them did not drink much, who were not noticeable tonight. They had not left yet.
Of course, they did not want to go.
It would amaze Jane soon, that Hannah had planned to help Jane achieve what she wanted.
