Chapter 932 Lillian's Escape (1) Negotiation

Lillian was driving herself. When suddenly she heard a crash, she shuddered and then raised her head, only to see flaming fragments of a helicopter falling from the sky. Tears welled up in her eyes. As expected, Oscar was never a merciful one. Did he think that she was in that helicopter?

She wondered if he knew she and Una were running away in the car.

No matter what he thought, the miserable death of the Collins family was his aim, and of course, Una was no exception.

Biting her lip, Lillian sped up a bit because she saw a few cars after hers. And she turned her head to look at her daughter, who was still asleep in the passenger seat-she had never been wakened up during this bumpy ride. Lillian was not sure whether she was sleeping because of the sleeping pills or if she could never wake up again.

Just as painful as she could be, Lillian was driving the car madly on the road, without any destination, thinking she would rather die in a car accident than end up dead at Oscar's hand. She would never allow herself to be so pitiful in front of that man.

Meanwhile, Oscar was also in a car following Lillian.

"Commander," a guard informed him, "Madam is a little out of control, she's driving fast. If we keep chasing her, it's likely to cause an accident. Based on the speed, if there is an accident, her chance of survival will be low."

Oscar grabbed the phone. He was torn about his decision. As he ordered, they could not hurt Una Wells, and now, the guards could not guarantee the child's safety under such circumstances.

"Commander? Shall we keep chasing?"

"Fall back!" Oscar ordered.

"Roger that."

The cars running after Lillian's all paused, while Lillian was still driving crazily, putting the pedal to the metal. When she restored to reason, she noticed through the rear-view mirror that the cars after hers were gone.

Did Oscar give up trying to catch her?

No, it couldn't be that. He must be planning something else, she thought.

Lillian didn't slow down her car, but because no one was chasing her, she drove much more steadily than before.

Oscar sat in the sedan and received a call from Manuel.

"Lillian has slowed down a bit. She should be calmer now."

"Good. Tell me the exact location when she stops the car completely."

Oscar planned to rescue Una after Lillian stopped the car.

"Got it," Manuel replied.

So it went.

Oscar wandered around in his car for several hours.

Later, Manuel called again and said, "Oscar, Lillian has parked her car. I sent you the location on your phone, and I will continue to track where she ends up."

"Okay." Oscar hung up his phone and said to Theodore, "Go to this place!"

Theodore nodded and arranged for people to go directly to their destination, which was a ruined dock in The Capital.

So Lillian wanted to smuggle out of Northfield.

Oscar quickly arrived with everyone surrounding the dock layer by layer. All preparations were made.

"Oscar!" Theodore grabbed him, "I'll go!"

Oscar shook his head. He had to go himself as he knew that Lillian would play dirty tricks-anyone could guess that much.

"Let's go!" Oscar didn't give Theodore any chance of stopping him as he ordered people to follow his footsteps close behind him, while Theodore gritted his teeth and followed along behind them reluctantly. According to the locator position of Una, they got there.

Lillian was inside a warehouse at the ruined dockyard at this moment when it was already dark outside. There wasn't even any sound or light coming from within except for the occasional sounds of waves crashing against rocks nearby.

Everyone slowly approached their destination without making any noise or disturbance whatsoever. There wasn't even a hint of sound or light coming from inside. Everyone got ready for action. Oscar asked someone gently pushed open the warehouse door

With a creaking sound emanating from its hinges which echoed throughout the empty warehouse space, Oscar pursed his lips tightly together.

Theodore gestured with hand signals, asking someone else first to enter into warehouse but Oscar refused outright. He suddenly walked in.

"Oscar!"

"Don't provoke her into hurting Una." Said Oscar firmly,

"But..." protested Theodore hesitantly.

"I'm confident." Declared Oscar bluntly.

Theodore held back what he wanted to say next under duress.

Oscar ordered everyone else present there to wait patiently instead then walked straight into that warehouse alone.

"Lillian!"

Oscar's voice reverberated throughout the empty space.

"You come out here so we can talk properly." He continued speaking calmly yet assertively all along until finally adding these words, "I promise not to harm you even the slightest bit."

There was still no sound in the warehouse. It seemed like she didn't trust him.

"I admit that everything today was a calculated move on my part. I was manipulating you and your family, but that's just how war works. Someone always has to make sacrifices. Today, it's either me or your family who dies. I didn't have a choice." Oscar explained everything, "But when it comes to you and Una, I never had any intention of harming you both. To Una, I will always be her father and I can never abandon her. And as for you being Una's mother, even if it's just for Una's sake, I could never kill you. Even though today you chose to help your family."

Oscar spoke while moving his feet cautiously and keeping an eye out around him. He was slowly approaching a dark corner where Lillian could possibly hide.

"I understand your decision; if it were me, I would do anything to help my own family too. So from beginning to end, I never had any intention of doing anything to harm you for that matter." Oscar continued walking forward while scanning his surroundings left and right.

"I admit we can't form a normal family anymore but there isn't anything else we can talk about once you come out."

There was still no response.

"If you've decided to take Una away by yourself so she can live with only her mother without ever coming back here again, then so be it; after all, she is your biological daughter. Ultimately, the decision is yours." Oscar said further, "But please consider rationally the difference between having her stay with me versus staying with you-if she stays with me then she'll become someone who everyone looks up to." Lillian still hadn't made a choice nor responded at all.

Oscar narrowed his eyes slightly,

He said, "I'll give five minutes for consideration; If You don't come out until then, I'll assume you've made your decision already, which is taking Una away from here by yourself. I'll leave!"

The warehouse remained silent.

Time ticked.

Five minutes passed, and Lillian didn't show herself at all.

Oscar cleared his throat before saying, "In that case, then, I'm leaving!"

As he turned around readying himself to leave, he abruptly stopped in place.
