Chapter 865 Lillian's Show Time

"Cian and I met at a party. He had me at "hello", and we dated soon afterwards. I was still in college and my father was very strict with me. So, we didn't go public and we kept a secret relationship. I didn't know Cian was the heir of the Wells family until he died. I didn't know he was Oscar's younger brother as well." Lillian said sadly and choked with sobs.

Hannah stared at her without a blink. She had thought of many possibilities. She guessed that Oscar had to marry Lillian and ally with the Collins family for the reign of the Wells family. But she had never imagined that Lillian was carrying Cian's child.

She looked at Lillian coldly and heard her saying, "I realized I was pregnant after Cian died. I didn't want to give up on his child but my father didn't want it to ruin my reputation and forced me to do the abortion. So I told Oscar. To keep Cian's only child, Oscar made a deal with my father and gave him whatever he wanted."

Hannah listened and recalled Oscar suddenly decided to make peace with the Collins family when the war broke out. She always thought Oscar wasn't powerful enough to knock them down and it would be a loss for both sides if they didn't cease fire. It turned out it was for Cian's child.

She remembered Cian once told her that he was seeing someone, but he didn't love her. It was like sex partners. It wasn't for sex only. It was more likely that Cian did it for political reasons. Probably, he dated Lillian to use her. With the help of Lillian, he could keep his life or rise from the ashes if the Wells family failed to take power.

The Wells family had considered a lot for Cian, but he died to save her. Anyway, Hannah found it hard to accept. Oscar had done all those terrible things only to protect Cian's child. Suddenly, she didn't have a good reason to hate him. She smiled lightly to hold back her feelings.

Lillian saw her doing nothing and added, "Seriously, I don't want to see more misunderstandings between you and Oscar. I must tell the truth. I don't want you to hate Oscar for this car accident. I don't want you to hurt each other again. I wish you could bury the hatchet by learning the truth."

What? She wanted them to bury the hatchet? How was that going to happen? She couldn't forget and forgive him since Manuel and her child were still in danger.

"You mean you'll leave Oscar?" asked Hannah.

Lillian was stunned, thinking how Hannah could be so hardhearted. Unbelievably, Hannah told her to leave Oscar though she had told the truth and made a touching speech. Cian had died for Hannah, and she should be supposed to give in for his child. However, she was still mean and pushy, leaving Lillian no choice.

Lillian simmered with rage but still put on a good face, "Actually, I never wanted to be with Oscar for Cian's child, but my father is insistent. I can leave Oscar, but I'm just afraid the world will be in chaos again if I do so. I can't stop my father, and I can't even stop him from killing Cian's child."

She was threatening them. If she left Oscar and fell out with him, it might cause another war in Northfield or the death of Cian's child. As she said, she couldn't protect the child. What a smart girl! Cian's baby was her secret weapon, and she had made the best use of it.

It was impossible that Oscar would give up on Cian's child. When she first heard Cian still had a posthumous child, she could understand Oscar's feelings, and she could be sure that Oscar would give up everything for this child.

"So, you've decided to guilt-trip me and make me forgive you for what you've done." Said Hannah sarcastically. She embarrassed Lillian by going to the point.

Lillian was awkward. Indeed, that was what she wanted. But she still found it embarrassing when Hannah saw her through and exposed her in public. She shook her head to deny it, "I just told you everything, but I've never thought of guilt-tripping you. You said you wanted me to have premature delivery and..."

Lillian choked with sobs and looked heartbroken.

"I would take it if you could forgive my family for what they've done to you." Said Lillian word by word. She was sure that Hannah couldn't bear to hurt Cian's child. To be exact, she didn't have the confidence to nail Hannah. At first, she thought Hannah was a grateful girl who valued love and friendships and believed she'd care much about Cian's child since he died to save her. But she was wrong. Hannah was a heartless woman who hated evil like a mortal enemy.

But Oscar was different. He could be ruthless to anyone except Cian's child, which was her trump card. She could do anything during her pregnancy and Oscar would just turn a blind eye to it. "It seems you don't love Cian that much." Taunted Hannah.

Lillian was frozen and stared at Hannah. Surprisingly, she had changed the subject.

"If I were you, I would do anything to protect the child of the man I love. I can even die for it! But I won't leave its life to anyone else." Snorted Hannah. She was playing Lillian off against Cian on purpose and trying to tell people that Lillian didn't love Cian. If so, Oscar didn't have to care much about her. However, Lillian had acted to be crazy about Cian and claimed she had nearly killed herself for Cian. That was why Oscar had shown pity on her and kept compromising with her.

"I just want to answer for my family's wrong doings. If anything happens to the baby, I... I will kill myself and meet Cian in heaven with the baby." She said in tears.

Hannah smiled again. What a heart-touching drama of love and death! What a good actress Lillian was! And in Oscar and Theodore's eyes, Hannah thought she was the one to be blamed.
