Chapter 706 The Feud (11) Quick Decision
There was no sign of anger in Cian's face or tone.
This man seemed to have used to do everything with a dry face but also made others overwhelmed by his dignity.
Hannah didn't reply because she hadn't figured out how to protect herself yet.
Cian didn't push her to answer. And he also swallowed his thought that she could rely on her beauty. Because he didn't want Hannah to suffer a lot because of the royal Wells family and his brother. He always felt Hannah was being made to do these all because of his family. She shouldn't be that considerate of his family while suffering physical and emotional damage brought by them.
Now, however, it didn't matter what he said. Since he couldn't guarantee Hannah was in an absolute safe, any of his words seemed to be useless.
"It shouldn't take Oscar long to realize we're being controlled by Melvin," Hannah murmured.
Melvin hadn't counted on one detail which was the relationship between Oscar and Cian.
In order not to arouse suspicion, it was true that there were no troops stationed here to protect Cian and also no way of spreading their situation, but Hannah was sure that someone would drop in here regularly. Once he found out something was wrong on this island, the royal Wells family would know where Melvin was.
But what would happen if they knew?
Cian was under Melvin's control. Did his family dare to do anything? Did Oscar dare to do anything?
"Oscar will come to save us, I'm sure." Said Cian.
And Hannah believed what he was saying. She believed that Oscar would come to save Cian. But she wondered what way he would choose to save them. The best counter was already in Melvin's hand for the Wells family. Though Melvin didn't know that, the Wells family dared not to take that risk.
Hannah thought a lot because she couldn't figure it out. Cian didn't say anything more. The two of them went back to their rooms.
Sometimes, Hannah felt a kind of helplessness that she had to leave things to chance.
The night was still dark when Theodore finished patching up Oscar's wound. As Theodore packed the medicine chest, both of them were silent, and the air in the room was serious and sad. Suddenly the phone rang shrilly. Glancing at the caller ID, Theodore answered the phone, "Dad."
What his father said brought a serious expression to his otherwise calm face.
Oscar was clear that something wrong had happened, and he stared at Theodore hard. The cigarette burned quietly between his stiff fingers.
Theodore put down his phone and turned around to Oscar. He would be very serious when something really bad happened, like now.
"The newest advice says Melvin has Cian."
Oscar's Adam's apple moved up and down. He had been suppressing his strong emotions.
"My dad said the island has been surrounded by the Balderston family's army. Cian is still on it. As for Hannah, I didn't ask about her. My dad didn't mention her yet, so he might also have no idea. To not alert the army, no one dares to act rashly. Now, all we know for sure is that Melvin had Cian." Theodore repeated.
He gritted his teeth because of anger when he said that. And he thought Melvin could mess with anyone but Cian. However, at that moment he was more worried about Oscar's feelings.
Although Melvin's troops occupied the island, the people on it wouldn't be in danger if he was killed tonight. Since the leader was dead, the soldiers would run for their lives. At worst, they would kill Hannah to fulfil Melvin's order. Then Cian was still safe.
But because Oscar let Melvin go, Cian could be in danger now.
Theodore didn't know how badly Oscar would suffer inside. And he didn't know how to console him. He just saw that Oscar didn't seem to notice that the cigarette was about to burn his fingers. Oscar came to his sense because of the pain, then he put the butt into the ashtray.
That made Theodore feel Oscar had been through too much. He even thought Oscar should be protected nicely and warmed when it all quieted down.
"My dad just said the most important thing now is to save Cian from the island. But now the situation is tense and they dare not do anything. So he wanted me to ask your opinion." Theodore continued. Oscar said, "Keep them on hold for now. Now Melvin didn't realize who is Cian so he won't be in danger for the time being."
"You're right. Melvin isn't a psycho that will kill everyone he meets."
"But if he succeeds, he may kill Cian." Oscar went further.
Theodore looked at Oscar and asked, "Will he kill everyone?"
"Cian is a billionaire with no living relatives. If Cian is killed by Melvin, all of Cian's estates will be confiscated, which means Melvin will get this windfall if he occupies Northfield."
"Bastard." Theodore cursed.
"So we can't let that happen." Oscar tried to calm himself down and analyze the situation collectedly.
"So what can we do now? Now Melvin has Cian and Hannah." Theodore was a little restless. At this moment he was eager to cut Melvin into pieces.
Melvin was so sinister.
"We can't waste any time." Oscar said, "I'll ask the Collins family to publicize Melvin is dead and hold a memorial meeting. And I'll let Melvin go back to his memorial meeting. We can send our people to rescue Cian as soon as Melvin gets back."
"Don't we need a little more preparation?"
"We have to make a quick decision. The more time we delay, the more danger they'll be in!" Oscar affirmed, "Tell your dad to be ready to storm the island."
"Yes."
Then Theodore phoned Laird and told him their plan.
Oscar also dialled Manuel's number.
Manuel answered the call immediately as if he hadn't slept at all. Oscar didn't take the initiative to contact him, so he didn't dare to phone him.
"I think I know where Hannah is now." After returning to the hotel, Manuel searched numerous traffic videos for a possible figure of Hannah.
Melvin was such a wily old fox who covered a lot. Manuel sat motionlessly in front of the computer for ten hours before he finally found out where Hannah might be.
"I've known that," Oscar said straightly.
"You know that she's on Cian's island?" Manuel asked.
He was far less calm than Oscar when he found out about it. He even repeated his reasoning many times and even wanted to dismiss this idea. But the more times he repeated, the more he thought this was the most likely place for her to end up.
"Yes. So I still need you to save them." Said Oscar.
Manuel was no longer surprised by the way his cousin dealt with things.
"OK."
