Fabian didn’t bother to explain himself either. After he retrieved his phone and drafted the text to one of his close acquaintances, his tensed look finally eased up a little.
Grinning, Helen asked her sister, “Hannah, I have great news and bad news for you! Which one do you prefer to know first?”
Hannah had a hard time figuring out the things Helen was up to. After considering for a few seconds, she stated, “The great news.”
“If that’s the case, I need to tell you the bad news first.”
Her sister was at a loss for words because it wasn’t necessary for her to make the choice in the first place. “What is it about?”
Helen leaned over and whispered, “Yvette has acquired the aid of some influential figures to get her out of jail.”
“Huh? Are you serious?”
When Hannah heard the news, she was baffled and looked at Fabian with her eyes widened in disbelief.
As Fabian nodded, she found out her sister hadn’t been making things up.
“What? How is that possible when she has tried to murder me?”
Hannah’s face puckered in frustration. Although she found Yvette pitiable, she wanted her to bear the consequences of her actions. Thus, she had stopped Fabian from interfering with Yvette’s jurisdiction in return for a fair trial.
“Haven’t I told you to let Fabian deal with it? You should have listened to me! How does it feel to have the murderer getting off the hook?” Helen remarked sarcastically to express her irritation.
“I didn’t see that coming!”
As Yvette almost killed her, Hannah regretted her decision. Despite the failed attempt, it would be unfair if Yvette could get herself acquitted on all counts just because she was related to some bigshots.
Afraid her sister would go berserk soon, Helen announced, “You don’t have to get overly worked up. Have you forgotten the great news?”
“What is it?”
Hannah deadpanned her reply because she couldn’t be bothered by the great news at all.
Helen sat upright and cleared her throat before announcing in an ostentatious manner, “Your exceptional and brilliant sister has taken care of the issue on your behalf! In short, you don’t have to be worried anymore!”
She looked elsewhere and replied, “Oh…”
Seconds after she returned to her senses, she got pumped up and asked, “What did you just say? You had gotten rid of the issue on my behalf? How?”
Helen was pleased by her response. She held her chest high and was about to share her brilliant plan with her sister, but Jason interrupted her and said, “It’s all thanks to me! If it weren’t because of me, she couldn’t possibly deal with them!”
As he went on, he ruffled his hair and added, “It’s a long story, but here goes…”
“Shut up! How dare you get full of yourself in front of me?”
Helen interrupted Jason again and thought he was way too arrogant.
“What? Have I said anything wrong? Do you think you could execute the plan without me?” Jason rebutted to defend himself.
“Oh? Do you really think you’re that capable?”
“Enough!”
Hannah yelled as the duo was about to go berserk again when they were in the middle of something serious.
“Why don’t you tell me about it?” Hannah looked at Fabian and asked in a calm and collected manner.
Fabian nodded and started summarizing the entire incident again.
After Hannah figured out the truth, she started praising the duo for a job well done. “Unbelievable, it turns out both of you are able to be of aid to Fabian already, huh?”
Hannah’s words worked like a charm because Helen and Jason were overwhelmed by a sense of achievement.
“I have been wondering the reason behind the meal. It turns out they’re the highlight of the day, and you have just dropped by and picked me up on the way to the restaurant, huh?” Hannah pulled Fabian’s leg.
Before Fabian could reply, Helen said, “Don’t you think you should be grateful? If it weren’t because of me, you might not get to join us!”
