Chapter 685 Coming Storm (7) Deal

"Once the Collins family knows that we are cooperating, they will know that you are ready to act against them, and they will gain some lead time, and threaten us in advance of us possibly threatening them. You just need to play along with it, let them think they have succeeded, and then come back when they're not prepared." Stated Oscar.

"That's easy for you to say!" Melvin was not that optimistic and said coldly, "Tell me what you told them!"

Oscar told the plan he told to the Collins family to Melvin.

"What will this benefit me?" Melvin sneered, "I will be schemed against. Oscar, are you my man or my enemy now?"

"Mr Balderston, if you think so, they will believe it too so they will do as my plan. They will be the one who is schemed."

"Don't keep me guessing. Just tell me what to do." Melvin was not patient.

"It's easy. You should run away at the banquet as they planned, and I will follow and kill you. In the process of the assassination, you pretend you have died. That is to say, we should make a layout in advance so that Collins will think you are dead. Once they let their guard down. You should take advantage of this time and take them down in the secret layout."

Melvin frowned and was thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

Oscar didn't urge him and waited for his response.

"How can I believe that you are not on the side of the Collins family?" Obviously, Melvin was persuaded of his plan but he did not fully trust Oscar.

"You've got Hannah. I dare not do anything to you."

"It's just a woman. Can you do this for just a woman?"

"God knows how much she means to me."

"How could God know it?" Melvin sneered.

"Mr Balderston, those who do great things should have their own decisions. No matter what I say, you will suspect me, so I won't explain. But this is the best solution I can give you within my ability. It's your decision whether you want to do it or not."

"You have exposed the relationship between me and the Collins family. Do I have any choice?" question Melvin.

Oscar's silence gave consent.

"I'm warning you, Oscar. If you dare to do something bad for me, I will kill Hannah and the child in her!" Melvin threatened.

"I dare not!"

"OK." Melvin agreed. He was franker than the Collins family, but it was because he didn't other options. If he didn't do it, the Collins family would do it as well. Melvin had been pushed here. Anyway, Oscar had been in his bad books, and one day, he would let Oscar pay for it.

"I have a question."

"Please tell me."

"How can you be so sure that you will be the one who will be sent out to chase me?"

Melvin was a smart person who could always be punchy.

"The Collins family will need someone to take the blame."

Melvin didn't expect Oscar could think further.

"If there is no evidence of your assassination of Rowan, and you die, they will replace someone to blame in order to convince the public, and this person will be me."

Melvin nodded. It was true. It was the same reason why he found Oscar and asked him to do that. Melvin couldn't help but look at Oscar again and he thought he looked down upon him before. He knew Oscar was a capable man, but now he was surprised by him again that he was so meticulous about everything.

Oscar stared at him with a blank expression and allowed Melvin to examine him with sharp eyes, implying his honesty in front of Melvin.

"Do as you said first." Melvin took his eyes off him.

He could cooperate with Oscar, but he wouldn't be schemed by him. He had his own plans.

"Yes." Oscar didn't seem happy. And he continued, "I will let you know in advance once there is any news about the Collins family."

"Oscar, I now put my life and the rise and fall of my family on you. You'd better not shit me! You can't afford it!"

"I dare not do that."

"Go back."

"OK." When he was leaving, he said, "Mr Balderston, please take care of my wife and my child."

Melvin nodded slightly.

Then Oscar left the Balderston Manor. Sitting in the car, he leaned back in the seat and looked out of the window at the streets of the capital. All he thought was Hannah's cold look today. Since being grounded there, Hannah had exercised considerable restraint in showing her emotions in front of him and in questioning his ways of doing things.

At this time, Oscar got a call from Theodore.

"Manuel called me just now. Did you ask him to come to the Capital?" Theodore was surprised.

Normally, Manuel wouldn't be involved because Oscar wanted more his family could survive. If he died one day, at least Manuel would accompany Cian. Sometimes when Theodore thought of this, he felt bad because Oscar had sacrificed too much for the royal Wells family. If it wasn't for Hannah, he didn't know whether Oscar thought about how to live for himself.

"I will tell you when I'm back."

"Alright."

Oscar hung up the phone. Now he needed Manuel's help to save Hannah although he did not want to risk Manuel's life at all. He couldn't fully trust Melvin so he had to save Hannah from him at the same time. It was dangerous but he had to do it. Because it was the only way to success.

At Balderston manor, Hannah was sitting in the yard in the bright sunlight. She turned and saw Melvin walking into the yard.

Melvin was kind enough to her. At least he gave her a rather comfortable environment although she could only stay in the yard without his permission.

Hannah looked at him quietly.

Melvin smiled, "I do admire you."

Hannah smiled as well and said, "You don't need to. You will choose the way if you were me."
