Chapter 675 Melvin's Threat

Oscar coldly gazed at Melvin, who clearly noticed his strong hostility at the same time.

However, the more outrageous he appeared, the more Melvin found it satisfying.

At least he was fully aware that he had Oscar's soft spot under control, of which he could take advantage.

"Oscar, I think you know how I feel." Said Melvin.

"No, I don't. I don't know why you gotta get somebody else involved." Oscar denied.

"If it weren't for your suspicion, I would have only taken Hannah to the Capital to spend some leisure time with. It would be nothing but a period of vocation. Nor would she be impacted. However, it was your betrayal that got her truly involved."

Oscar couldn't help clenching his fists hard with his face burning in anger and body trembling out of madness.

"Well, actually, it wasn't really like a kind of involvement. When she asked me to bail you out back then, I knew she wouldn't be likely to turn me down this time. It's nothing but a simple reciprocation." Melvin simply took it for granted.

Oscar looked like he couldn't be angrier at this moment.

"It's okay. Just take your time to think it over." Melvin didn't intend to push him into an immediate answer.

"At 4:00 tomorrow afternoon, I will set off on my trip to the Capital. Before that, you are welcome to talk to me again."

Oscar replied with a glare.

But Melvin seemed to ignore it. He casually continued, "Well, it's getting late. I am too sleepy to continue with the talk. Now you are free to go."

Hesitating, Oscar still turned around to leave.

"Oscar, think twice before making any decision. And be especially careful about the consequence. I bet you have been fully aware that I have recorded everything about the deal between us." While speaking, he cast a glance at the cameras around, seemingly making it a reminder for Oscar.

"Once the Collins learns about it, do you think you can survive?"

Oscar huffed like a monster, "Since you have got the greatest threat against me, why bother keeping Hannah under your control?"

"That kind of threat could only assure that you wouldn't betray me again. But Hannah is the warranty of your most honest efforts." Melvin stressed out to explain.

With his teeth clenching, Oscar turned around to leave.

The conspiracy between the two families had always been insidious.

Oscar went back to his car. Noticing his awful expression, Jimmy remained silent and started the engine.

As Oscar returned home, he didn't get off the car. Instead, he started smoking one after another.

Soon, the piece of ground underneath his side was covered with cigarette stubs.

Jimmy couldn't help asking, "Master Oscar, anything wrong?"

Oscar fell into a sudden pause.

Of course, the worst moment ever in his life was expecting him.

"Mrs Well is expecting you inside. The light inside the room is still on. I can tell from the window." Jimmy continued.

In his point of view, Hannah could always manage to solace Oscar however bad the situation he was going to encounter.

Oscar simply raised his head to take a look.

Through the casements, he could see the dim light coming out.

As Hannah knew he would return tonight, she would stay up until he came back into the room even though she made no call to ask for his immediate arrival.

At the thought of that, he felt like his heart started aching slightly.

After he stubbed out the cigarette, he opened the door to get off the car.

Watching his back, Jimmy found it rare to see him so distraught. Even back in the old days when he got seriously injured or got trapped in great danger, he had never been like this-so desperately panic.

Oscar walked into the bedroom.

As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Hannah reading a book about childcare.

At the sight of that, he felt like getting choked.

Seeing him coming over, Hannah hurried to put away the book and walked over to him with a smile.

As soon as she approached, she noticed the smell of cigarettes lingering around him.

She wrinkled her nose, "Why were you smoking? Don't you know how it's gonna harm you?"

Not until then did Oscar finally collect himself. He lowered his head to sniff his shirt. Then he hurried to say, "Let me take a shower."

Watching his back, she could tell there must be something worrying happening. As far as she knew about him, nothing would concern him unless it was something serious. His distraught look was too conspicuous to ignore.

So she returned to the bed to wait for him.

When he walked out of the bathroom, his hair still remained wet and drenched.

"Why don't you dry your hair? You will catch a cold as the air conditioning is still on."

So he hurried back into the bathroom. Apparently, he was absent-minded.

After getting his hair dried, he got on the bed. Before he was about to turn off the light, Hannah suddenly stopped him, "What happened?"

Though she wasn't sure if she could help, it might be a bit better for him to pour out, she reckoned. But he replied with silence.

"Oscar!"

But still, he remained silent.

"Are you cheating on me?"

"NO!"

"What could be worse than cheating?" she smiled to continue.

Looking at her face, he responded, "Perhaps it's indeed worse than cheating."

"Nah, nothing could be worse than cheating. Oscar, from my perspective, that's my bottom line!"

"Well, I swear I won't cheat on you."

"So tell me. What on earth is happening?"

Oscar seemed a bit hesitant.

"Does it pertain to me?" asked Hannah.

He wouldn't be likely to show such a worried face in front of her if it didn't pertain to her, she believed. In most cases, he would rather shoulder every burden on his own. Oscar then nodded.

Actually, as clever as she had been, he knew she would notice that. What was more, she would probably tell what was happening.

"What did Melvin tell about you?" Hannah seemed to be losing her patience.

Though she could tell it pertained to her, she failed to know what exactly it was.

After some hesitation, Oscar confessed, "Melvin tryna threaten me with you."

Upon hearing that, she felt like her heart skipped a beat. Oscar noticed she was getting nervous. Actually, she wasn't scared. Instead, she wanted to share the difficulty with him.

"But I don't wanna get you involved." Said Oscar.

"Just tell me about it. In what way is he gonna threaten you?"

"He wanna take you to the Capital."

Hannah kept on watching him, who then fell into silence with his eyes slightly closed.

The air followed into silence.

Though Hannah had expected Melvin to resort to dirty tricks, his plan still stunned her.

She wasn't as fearless as she ever expected. And she knew it.

She knew how repellent she found it to be. And she knew how much she wanted to say no.

Of course, she had a clear understanding of Oscar's worry-if she were to be taken under Melvin's control, she wouldn't be likely to survive.
