Chapter 540 A Deal Under 2 Terms

The restaurant was frozen with tension.

Melvin met Hannah's gaze without talking.

No one desired to break the silence.

It was like a childish game in which the one who talked first would lose.

Hannah did put everything under the light. There was nothing more she could do if Melvin still turned her down.

The clock was ticking.

Melvin went back to his seat.

Hannah watched him cautiously.

The man lifted the glass and took a sip, rather gracefully.

She could not tell the man's decision for the time being.

Maybe, he was still considering.

The higher one stood, the more cautious he behaved.

Hannah tried hard to keep her head cool and her nerves steady.

It had been a long while of silence.

Putting down the glass, Melvin finally spoke, "I have 2 terms."

Hannah's heart was racing for his voice.

Did he agree?

She could not replace a reason for his refusal during her planning of the talk.

And if he wanted to reject her, he would not have allowed her so much time to convince him.

So the Balderstons needed an impeccable excuse.

A thought came to Hannah that he was waiting for her.

"I would love to listen," Hannah said peacefully.

"First," Melvin said, looking into Hannah's eyes, "I can dig out the case, but I will only target Charles Sawyer." Hannah understood.

This was not good timing for the Balderstons to confront the Collins.

Melvin would not get further even though he was clear that Collins would get involved.

Hannah promised, "OK."

And they were not capable enough to challenge the Collins.

She was sure that it was beyond her ability to stand against the Collins, which should be the business of Oscar as she believed.

"Given the fact that Charles Sawyer is Sarah Collin's husband, you must guarantee that my action would not provoke the Collins before I held him accountable by the law." Melvin continued. Hannah frowned at his requirement.

Melvin implied, "I think Mrs Wells is wise enough to read my mind."

Hannah bit her lips.

So he meant that Hannah must break the knot between Charles and the Collins before his action.

This was undoubtedly a challenge.

But she had no choice but to accept the term.

"Second," Melvin did not allow time for Hannah to say yes and added, "After I save Mr Wells from jail, he should stay loyal to me. To put it straight, I admire Oscar's ability. And I will have him back to the City Hall, on condition that he stands with the Balderstons, other than the Collins.

Hannah looked straight at Melvin.

This was an unexpected requirement.

"OK," Hannah said with a nod, "We are grateful for your favour which must be paid off."

A smile was drawn on the man's emotionless face.

That was not a warm smile, but just an expression. And the so-called gratefulness was based on mutual benefits.

Melvin did have kept a long-term observation of Oscar, who was thought to be a helpful subordinate.

"Contact me after you can satisfy my requirements above. And this is my contact information. Next time, you can decently meet me."

He passed a name card as he said that.

Hannah received it respectfully, with both of her hands.

At a glance at the phone number printed on the card, Hannah raised her head and looked at Melvin.

The man stood up from his seat gracefully.

He made a slight bow politely before he left.

After he vanished, Theodore rushed in, replaceing Hannah sitting at the table, and asked, "Do you make it?

Yes, she made it.

But why did she feel as if she was set up?

"He came up with 2 terms," Hannah mentioned.

Theodore frowned.

Hannah told him about the dialogue with Melvin.

Theodore said with a chuckle, "So they are birds of a feather."

"This is not the time for comment. The most important is how to meet the terms from him. The second one is not difficult, for I already persuaded Oscar to forge aliment with the Balderston family before. I think this is reasonable deal that Oscar won't reject."

Theodore swallowed down the words on his tongue by sealing his lips.

"The first one is a hard nut. How can we kick Charles out of the shelter of the Collins? If we fail, Melvin could not deal with Charles without scruple, and the Collins must stand out to fight for him." Hannah murmured.

"Shit. Isn't it an intentional challenge? Given the fact that Charles was newly wedded to Sarah Collins, he asked us to spoil their marriage..." Theodore complained.

His last sentence left Hannah stunned.

In turn, Hannah's reaction scared Theodore.

He was concerned, "Are you OK?"

"What did you say just now?" Hannah seemed a bit excited, "You said, to spoil their marriage, right?"

"Anything wrong?"

"Perfectly good," Hannah said surely, "So Let's get their marriage wrecked."

Theodore's suggestion successfully shifted the point in Hannah's consideration, from how to have Charles disappoint the Collins, just as she did before, to how to cut off the relationship between Charles and the Collins, by destroying his marriage with Sarah Collins.

A cold smile was put on Hannah's face.

The pair of scum should have been sent to hell very before.

Theodore and Hannah left the restaurant.

With their goal achieved, they set off and made their way home earlier the next morning.

They soon went back to Kensbury.

Hannah went to her office as if nothing had happened. It seemed that she had put Oscar's thing behind.

Her sudden change puzzled many others, including the staff of Cooper Group.

In their expectation, Hannah should stand firm with Oscar who was in deep trouble.

Even Rose, one of them, was surprised at the sight of Hannah in the office.

Sitting before the desk, calm and steady, Hannah plunged herself into work as usual, free of the impact of Oscar's case. That was unbelievable for Rose, under the condition that the case seemed bleak. "Give me a copy of the latest sales report," Hannah ordered, buried her head in the files and took a sip of coffee.

"Yes," Rose said respectfully.

"Who was in charge of the business when I was out of office?" Hannah asked.

"For those important, Mr Chairman handled them himself, while for others, most are in charge by Tan," Rose answered.

"Then have Tan come and make a report to me. I would like to hear about the progress made when I was absent."

"Get it."

As she turned around, Rose could not seize her curiosity but ask, "Ms Hannah, how about Mr Wells..."

"This is my privacy, and here we just talk about business." Hannah showed less interest to expose more.

Rose was just curious and she was smart enough to understand that it was not suitable to inquire about her boss's privacy.

After a while, Tan walked into Hannah's office with relative documents in hand.

He started a detailed report on the work.
