Chapter 708 The Feud (13) Preparation

Listening to Oscar's report, Melvin put down his fork but didn't leave the table. He still sat at the table, but his face became more serious, "Tell me about your plan."

"To make them believe you're dead, you need to arrange for some of your people to surrender and others to rise against the Collins family. Some will be sacrificed in this war because they won't believe it if no one dies."

"Then?" Melvin frowned hard.

"And on the day of the memorial, you need to show up and prove you're not dead. At least for the time being, the family won't doubt my loyalty or take away my power. On that day I'll manage to divert most of the troops, and then you can take your men to kill him when he's unprepared."

"How can I explain to others if I kill him?" Melvin was irritated.

The higher the status, the more important people attached to their dignity.

Melvin was a vicious and cunning man, but he still thought of himself as a saint.

"Now that Rowan tried to assassinate you, you can act in self-defence. It's easy to explain." Oscar said in a light tone, "You can insist that he framed you because he wanted Northfield for himself, and then you have no way but to fight back. No matter who wins in the end, history will be altered by him. If you win, you can be a good man. If the Collins family wins, they can be the heroes. I think you should know this law better than I do."

Melvin sneered and said, "Oscar, you're so considerate."

"I just want to keep my wife and child safe."

"Your wife and child?" Melvin smiled again and stared at Hannah unabashedly.

Hannah felt a little uncomfortable while being stared at like that. So she looked up at Melvin.

Her cheeks were fair, and her eyes were so clear. For an instant, Melvin felt she should have been protected well instead of suffering this.

He averted his gaze and concealed all his feelings with an indifferent face, "She's safe as long as you don't betray me."

"You may rest assured."

"Keep me posted on any news." After saying this, Melvin hung up.

Looking at the phone, Oscar clouded his face. Now the only thing he could do was to get everything done in the shortest time. As for the result, he was still not sure.

Melvin didn't continue with his meal after the call. He just gazed at Hannah, replaceing that she ate slowly but a lot.

"Hannah, Oscar phoned me just now," Melvin said purposefully.

"I know."

"Then you still have an appetite?"

"The food here is to my taste."

Melvin showed a sneer. Sometimes her indifferent attitude really got him a little irritated. It seemed that no matter what he did to her, she wouldn't get emotional at all, even if he took her from one place to another and locked her up.

"By the way, I'm pregnant. Pregnant women eat more."

"Harry, go back to your room," Melvin ordered Cian in a cold voice.

Cian's face changed immediately. He was pissed off and shouted, "This is my home!"

'Who the hell are you to tell me?!' Cian thought.

"It's my home!" Melvin said to Cian, "Don't forget, you already sold it to me."

"Asshole!" Cian cursed.

Melvin shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. As to Cian, Melvin didn't want to kill him now. After all, he had no reason to kill him. But if he pocketed Northfield one day, he wouldn't be sure he was going to kill him or not because no one wasn't eager for his wealth.

Of course, that all would happen in the future. Now he couldn't figure out any reason to kill Cian.

"I didn't want to force you." Melvin glanced at Cian.

The soldiers stood by them threateningly. Of course, Cian was clear that if he stood up to Melvin now, Melvin could kill him easily. So he just threw the cutlery and walked away.

Watching Cian's angry figure, Hannah compressed her lips.

Then she turned around and realized that Melvin had been staring at her for a long time.

She frowned. Somehow, she always had a feeling that Melvin was enjoying looking at her lately.

So she thought, "Is he trying to read something into me?"

"What, you like Harry?" Melvin asked with a sneer.

"Just because we're in the same boat now, so I don't reject him that much."

"Well, I thought you liked his good looks, so you had a new sweetheart."

Hannah smiled disapprovingly, "Oscar is more handsome."

"You still have expectations for him?" Melvin raised his brows.

"I'm just being objective."

"It's true." Melvin picked up a drink nearby and took a sip, "Oscar is not only handsome and also has an excellent capacity. He's able to socialize with two families with ease and even leads them by the nose. In the end, the victory or defeat of these two families will be decided by him alone. It's natural and reasonable for ladies to like a man like him."

Hannah had no idea about what Melvin wanted to express.

She thought he should have been more concerned about what he would face next based on the current situation.

Hannah kept her countenance and didn't reply.

"Hannah, don't you feel Oscar was a scary man?"

"What are you trying to say?" Hannah looked straight at him.

"Have you ever considered giving up this child?"

Hannah's faith somewhat faltered on hearing Melvin's words. Thus, her nonchalant expression couldn't be maintained anymore at that moment.

Melvin noticed that and continued, "A man like him, the Collinses or the Balderstons won't end up letting him go alive. You're so smart and you should know the reason! He'll be killed by then, won't you make yourself sad if you still give birth to his child? I think it'd be better for you to get rid of him sooner."

"It's my business." Hannah immediately rejected him with a serious and even cold-blood look, "The relationship between Oscar and I is my business. Even if he dies in the end, what way I'll choose is my business. And please respect my choice."

"I just want to remind you. It's your business indeed." Melvin said with a nonchalant face.

Then he put down the drink and stood up to leave.

"Hannah, enjoy the meal."

Hannah compressed her lips, watching Melvin leave in front of her. If she wanted to say she didn't panic, she was lying. If Oscar didn't win this war, they would all die.

At this moment, she couldn't figure out whether she was feeling sorry about Oscar or hating him. Anyway, now she could only put all her expectations on him.
