Chapter 925 The Outbreak of War (1)

Three days after Hannah left, Oscar went abroad on business exchange interviews.

On the night before leaving, Oscar spent a lot of time with Una. His obvious reluctance did not escape Lillian's notice.

It wasn't just this night. Ever since he told Lillian about ending things with Hannah, his changes had been visible to everyone around him. He would take the initiative in talking to her, take initiative in caring about her life, and even smile at her. When he smiled like that, Lillian found herself getting lost in it every time.

As soon as he saw her appear at Una's room door, he gave her another gentle smile. His smiles always made her heart race faster than usual. She tried hard to keep calm and asked, "Are you leaving tomorrow?"

"So I'll miss you two." Replied Oscar.

"I'll take good care of Una," Lillian promised.

"Hmm." Oscar nodded and said, "But when I think about being away for three days, I still feel uneasy."

His words made her heart flutter a bit, wondering if Oscar had discovered something.

"But I trust you," Oscar said with a light laugh.

At that moment, it was as if he had given her the greatest trust in the world. The more he trusted her, the more conflicted and tangled up Lillian felt inside. She told herself not to trust Oscar, but she still held onto hope for him deep down inside, if only she could be with him without tearing each other apart. She endured the agony in her heart silently.

Then she saw Oscar leave Una's princess bed and walk towards her. Every time he approached her, it made her heart skip a beat or two.

Oscar said, "It's so late, why aren't you sleeping?"

"I can't sleep when I see you're not sleeping either."

"You don't want to let me go?" The corner of Oscar's mouth lifted into a smile.

The man's immense charm was something that Lillian couldn't resist at all.

She nodded silently. At that moment, she felt his warm hand stroke through her hair gently and tenderly. Her breathing became rapid and shallow as she looked at Oscar towering over her suddenly leaning down towards her.

But his movement stopped abruptly before their lips met.

Lillian closed her eyes tightly; there were too many expectations within herself that couldn't be concealed anymore.

She even raised up her chin actively waiting for his kiss. However, after a long while passed without feeling any touch from his lips on hers, she opened up eyes with some surprise in them, only to replace out that there was a smile on the corner of Oscar's mouth and tenderness in his eyes,

"Wait for me until I come back."

Lilian frowned slightly, clearly showing some unhappiness. Her desires and emotions were aroused by him but now he suddenly stopped halfway

"I'm leaving early tomorrow morning." Oscar said seriously, "I fear that you might think I'm irresponsible."

He was telling her that if they slept together tonight then he would leave right away afterwards, he could make Lilian upset.

"It doesn't matter," Lilian spoke directly.

After tonight there wouldn't be another chance again.

"It does matter. It's important." Said Oscar.

Lillian pursed her lips tightly. She also knew that the more important it was for Oscar, the more important she was in his heart. But nobody knew what changes would happen after tomorrow.

"Be good." Oscar's gentle voice cooed to her. "Go to bed early and wait for me at home."

His gentle voice was like a spell, entrancing her. Oscar smiled and planted a kiss on her forehead. "Remember to think of me."

"Mm-hmm." Lillian nodded.

As she watched Oscar leave, tears blurred her vision.

Who should she trust? Her father or Oscar?

If she trusted Oscar, would he really be with her?!

Oscar returned to his room. And the smile on his face disappeared in an instant. At this moment, he was completely different from the man just now. He picked up the phone.

"Theodore."

"Here."

"Are you ready?" Oscar asked him coldly.

"Ready as can be."

"Good," Oscar nodded with a hint of cruelty in his eyes, "Tomorrow we'll catch our prey!"

"Understood!"

Oscar hung up the phone.

Tomorrow would be the final outcome, no matter who would win or lose.

Early the next morning, Oscar left by a car while Lillian watched him go from behind. She knew that as soon as he left, his father would immediately take action against him. Although it was said that he went abroad for exchange visits and interviews, in fact, Rowan had already made secret deals with another country using Northfield's interests as leverage in exchange for them secretly assassinating Oscar once he entered their borders.

In other words, once Oscar set foot inside their country's territory today it would mean farewell forever.

Lillian's eyes turned red at this thought.

She originally thought that all her father needed to do was control Oscar but never expected him to go so far as exterminating him completely without leaving any loose ends behind. Yet upon further reflection, only by doing so could they have no worries about future troubles; there was no way she could convince her father otherwise.

But what about the hard-earned relationship between her and Oscar? She felt so reluctant.

Lillian stood at the door for a long time.

Her phone trembled continuously in her hand.

She didn't know whether or not she should inform Oscar because if she did then it meant putting her dad into danger. It was an extremely agonizing moment for Lillian when suddenly the phone rang out loud. Lilian was startled by the call.

"Father."

"Did he leave?"

"Yes, a few minutes ago."

"Follow our plan, take Una with you. I'll send people to meet you."

"... Alright."

"Listen, Lillian. I know it may hurt you, but trust me, I do all this for the sake of our family."

Rowan kept persuading his daughter since he sensed her hesitance.

"I see."

"I won't say more. I know you are a smart girl since you were little. You know how to act. I'll leave you to it."

"Okay, Father."

Rowan trusted his daughter.

Upon hanging up the phone, Lillian appeared more gloomy. Then she got back to the room and held Una in her arms. According to their plan, she would take her daughter away with an excuse. Once Una was not under Oscar's control, they would not have any concerns. Besides, Una could be their lifeboat if they failed.

Looking at innocent Una, Lillian still felt a little guilty to take advantage of her daughter. When she finally made up her mind to leave, her phone rang again.

She hesitated but answered it in the end.

"Oscar?"
