Chapter 716 The Feud (21) An Offer

Hannah was still in nervous status. She had been ready to accept every possible accident that might occur since she was sent to Melvin by Oscar. She was not afraid of death because she had experienced it once in her previous life. It would not be a miserable thing. She had successfully taken revenge and got those who badly treated her in her previous life to pay the price.

However, what was out of her expectation was that she was pregnant. A baby was coming into her life. She felt depressed that she was unable to protect it and show it the beauty of the world.

She felt a lump in her throat, but still, her sorrow was concealed. Instead of another opportunity for rebirth, what she wanted now was that her baby would not feel disappointed in her.

It was silent in the villa. Melvin crossed his legs and sat on the sofa like a winner. His flinty eyes were on the people he tied.

"Hannah, tell me who I should kill first?" Melvin suddenly asked.

Hannah looked at him coldly.

"You, or them?"

"Will my answer make any difference once you've made up your mind?"

"Probably it will."

"Then start from me," Hannah responded.

Melvin stared at her.

"Start from me, I don't want to see the blood."

"Aren't you afraid of death?" Melvin asked with an evil sound.

"I am, but it will not protect me from death. I'd rather be killed first than suffer from torment," Hannah said, "All my woes end once I died, doesn't it?"

"I won't have your wish fulfilled. Instead, I will let you know what you will get from your betrayal of me!" Melvin squinted his eyes.

There was a sign in his eyes that he wanted to kill Jimmy first.

"Melvin!" Hannah shouted at him.

Melvin smiled as Hannah finally exposed her true emotions to him. He sent Hannah over the edge because he wanted to see her reaction to it. He had gotten tired of her impassive face to him. Hatred was at least a revealing of an emotion.

"What are you expecting to change by killing us? Do you think Oscar will end his plan once we were killed?" Hannah shouted. Melvin considered her words for a second, and said, "well, that indeed makes sense. I think I need to give him a lesson." Hannah was not sure what Melvin was going to do.

Melvin took out his phone and called Oscar. He put it on speaker once the phone came through.

"Oscar, are you happy with the trap you set for me?"

Oscar kept silent.

"But I want to know how you know I'm here. How did you know I took Hannah here with me and send someone to save her?" Melvin felt puzzled about it since the island had been heavily guarded.

In fact, Melvin had kept spies around Oscar since he had been schemed by Oscar. Thinking about this, Melvin's fury was ignited.

"I believe you're a clever man and know why," Oscar uttered on the phone. It seemed he still stayed composed as his voice was self-possessed.

Upon hearing Oscar's voice, Hannah wanted to cry. But still, she had to fight back tears of frustration and maintained calm.

"Who did you nobble?" Melvin asked.

"Do you think I will tell you?"

"So it means you don't care about Hannah's life?"

"Mr Balderston, please don't forget that Mrs Balderston is not with you," Oscar said slowly.

Melvin's face changed and he snapped, "Oscar!"

"It's a good deal to exchange Mrs Balderston with Hannah." Oscar offered.

Melvin's face turned ghostly livid. He held the phone, shivering.

"How I wish you were killed by Rowan!"

"He cannot, neither can you!" Oscar sneered.

"Who on earth are you?" Melvin had been suspecting Oscar's identity, for it seemed he came from a powerful family.

"It's not the point. The point is I can send your mother back as long as you send Hannah back."

"You are being naive," Melvin sneered. "Do you think I will accept your offer?"

"So, you don't care about your mother at all."

"She won't hate me," Melvin said coldly, "She knows it clearly, one of us must die, and she chooses herself."

"Well then," Oscar said, "don't forget to collect her body in time!"

"So you don't care about Hannah either?"

"I'm busy," Oscar replied.

His words were like a sharp arrow shooting at Hannah's heart. She looked down at the ground, trying hard to get these words out of her mind. She wanted to put on a smile on her face to conceal her sorrow, however, she couldn't help shedding a few tears.

Noticing her cry, Melvin smiled evilly, "Oscar, what do you want to do?"

"You'll see."

"How about," Melvin compromised, "coming to my place and having a talk about it? I might let her go if we reach an agreement."

"I'm not a fool. The only choice left is to be killed if I come."

"Hannah means nothing to you," Melvin said. "so what you've done before is just to gain my trust in you?"

"Mr Balderston, I know where you are now. My men are there too, so you know, I can have you murdered at any time." Oscar seemed to have lost his patience, he pointed out, "Let go of Hannah, and I will not kill you nor your mother."

"I have nothing left even though I survived!"

"It's better to live than to die."

"I don't think so," Melvin rejected his offer, "Oscar, I give you thirty minutes to think about it. I'll let her go if you come alone. Hannah is not a threat to me and I don't care if she's alive or not. But you pissed me off. I'll stop at nothing to kill you even though it's a dead-end street for me!"

Oscar didn't respond.

"Think it over. Exchange the life of Hannah and your child for your life. I'll send her body back to you once time's up. I promise!"

Then Melvin hung up angrily. He looked up at Hannah who had calmed down. To be honest, he didn't want to kill her.

"Hannah, do you think Oscar will come for you?"

Hannah responded in a plain voice, "I think he gave you the answer clearly, didn't he?"

Melvin frowned.

"He's busy." She uttered these words calmly.

It was true.

He had his missions to complete, and he was too busy to deal with her stuff. She didn't hate him. Actually, she was the one who fell in love first. Oscar didn't start any relationship with her in her previous life. It was Hannah who crossed the line and walked to him.

So, as to this ending, it was not his fault. It was just because, she hadn't met somebody who was kind to her.
