Chapter 707 The Feud (12) Stir up Trouble

Oscar repeated his plan to Manuel. And he said in the end, "First, make sure Cian is safe." Manuel was clear about what his cousin wanted to say. Oscar meant that Cian's life was more important no matter what happened.

What about Hannah? What about the baby in her stomach?

Manuel didn't ask those questions because he knew that there was something no need to say that they were already clear about.

He was just thinking if Hannah would hate his cousin at the end. And he said, "Right, I know what to do."

"Manuel," Oscar said his name in an emotional voice. He seldom showed his emotions in front of them, which seemed that he could handle every big thing. When they were doing their bloody training on the island, he always stood ahead of them and faced everything no matter how dangerous it was, and finally got all three of them out of there alive.

But now he seemed to conceal a hint of panic under his strong appearance. It seemed that the situation was already out of his control.

"We can only succeed, not fail." Said Oscar.

Manuel nodded and said firmly, "I'll protect Cian with my life."

This time, he knew Oscar just wanted this answer.

Oscar wanted him to protect Cian first, instead of Hannah and their child.

As he got Manuel's answer, Oscar hung up without saying more. At that moment, Theodore also finished his call to his father. Then he stared at Oscar, looking at a strong man like him could finally be pushed into such a situation one day.

He hoped it would end well. If anything happened to anyone on that island, he could not imagine how tough it would be for Oscar.

Three days after the accident at the state banquet, Oscar went to see the Collins family, who were a little surprised that he had taken the initiative to come.

"I think we shouldn't waste any time," Oscar said bluntly.

"Waste time? Do you have a better idea?" Rowan trusted Oscar even more because of Melvin's failure this time. Whatever he thought about Oscar, he still admired his capacity.

"I mean, now we can announce that Melvin has been killed and then crush the Balderston family during the commotion. I'm worried that over time their supporters will create another group. Once the group grasps its power, it will be harder for us to crush them. Besides, Mrs Balderston is still alive, and you shouldn't underestimate her."

Rowan was kind of swayed by Oscar's statements.

Mathew was easy this time and he said, "We want to crush Balderston too. But now we only know that Melvin fell off the cliff but we aren't sure that he was dead. If we announce his death less than two days after his accident, people will feel suspicious and think that we're covering something. It'll be at least half a month before we can declare him dead. Even if it's clear he was dead we'd have to wait at least a week to do it."

"We can declare his death immediately as soon as we replace his body," Oscar suggested.

"You have his body?" Mathew was a little excited.

"No."

"Then why you..."

"But I can replace one," Oscar said slowly.

The Collinses were visibly surprised and cheered. Oscar had a quick mind while they didn't think about it that much.

"Melvin fell from the cliff, soaked by the raging seawater, and he was finally thrown on a rock and his face was so damaged that no one can distinguish him. In the meanwhile, it won't be hard for you to create a fake DNA test report." Oscar continued.

"Mr Collins, you just said we can declare Melvin's death after a week, but his body isn't found, which may make someone feel suspicious. So the only way to convince them is to replace his body!"

"Mathew, what do you think?" Rowan looked at his son. He didn't want to wait, either. Because if they waited too long, something bad might happen. Only making quick a decision could catch everyone unprepared.

"I think Oscar's idea is feasible." Mathew approved him. He didn't want to waste a second when he thought his family could pocket Northfield immediately. And Oscar's idea was quite feasible indeed. Then Rowan asked his daughter's opinion. And Sarah gave him a 'yes', too.

"Right." Being barely free and easy, Rowan said, "I'll prepare the body. I'll replace Melvin's body and announce his death by the day after tomorrow, and at the end, I'll schedule his memorial meeting a week from now. In the meanwhile, I need you to draw the powerful people of the Balderston family over to our side. I'll give you authority over my army, and you can use force against those who cannot be persuaded. I want to take control of Northfield after the memorial."

"Yes," Oscar said with respect.

"Oscar, you carry the future of our family! If you do it well, you definitely can get a lot of benefits." Rowan started to indoctrinate him again.

"I'll fulfil your hope."

"By the way, did you replace your wife?" Rowan asked suddenly.

"No. I dare not do anything before Melvin's death is publicized."

"That's why I admire you so much because you put the bigger picture first. You can go replace your wife after we announce that. Then you can unite with your family, or... it's all up to you, I respect your choice." He didn't put his card on the table. But what he meant was that he would support Oscar in getting back together with his wife, and he would support him if he choose to be together with his little daughter, Lillian Collins.

"Yes." Oscar didn't show what he was thinking at this moment.

'If Oscar hadn't known so much, I probably won't want to kill him.' Rowan thought,

Unfortunately, some people only can be used for building achievements, not for a future career.

Then Rowan said, "You can go back now and wait for my word."

"Yes."

Oscar left.

After getting home, he dialled Melvin's number.

Melvin was having dinner with Hannah and Cian. Seeing the caller ID, he smiled slightly and said, "Are you all right?"

"Thanks for asking, I'm all right. What about you?"

"Thanks to you, still alive." Melvin looked at Hannah as he spoke.

Hannah ate her meal with composure. Although she was clear that Melvin was talking to Oscar on the phone. Cian also was very collected.

"Mr Balderston, they will announce your death the day after tomorrow and prepare a body to replace you. In the meanwhile, I'll draw your people over to my side secretly, the army of the Collins family will help me." Oscar told him all the arrangements.
