Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth
Chapter 676 Separation

Chapter 676 Separation

"Melvin has grown doubt about me. He threatens me with the cost of your life. Once I show any sign of refusal, he will notify Rowan about the deal between him and me. If so, Rowan will spare no endeavour to hunt for my life. As a result, I will either face the threat of death or be ready for the consequence after my real identity gets exposed, neither of which I can afford to face." Explained Oscar.

However, no matter how hard he tried to explain, it was still undeniable that he could do nothing to change it.

"Sorry, Hannah, you got no choice." Said Oscar.

Actually, Oscar had already made the choice for her. While the great sense of guilt was exactly the reason why he appeared so hesitant tonight.

Hannah simply looked at him. Actually, neither did she have any idea about what to do. Since Oscar had already made it so clear-he was left with no alternative but to accept Melvin's proposal, Hannah was also aware that there was nothing else she could do.

Reasonably speaking, she should show empathy for his current situation. After all, Oscar was shouldering the future of his family and also something much greater, compared to which her feelings appeared too inferior.

However, personally speaking, she found it hard to make a quick choice as she knew how dangerous it would be to follow Melvin to the Capital this time.

Oscar wasn't faithful to Melvin from the bottom of his heart. Once Melvin captured anything suspicious, her life would be at risk.

She didn't want to die. Nor did she want to be positioned as a kind of hostage. What was more, she was now carrying a baby inside her belly, which worried her the most. She didn't want the baby to suffer from all these plots and conspiracies even before its birth.

Finally, Hannah answered with silence.

"Turn off the light." Said she.

Watching her face, he felt like there seemed to be tear brewing in her eyes. He found it so heartbreaking as soon as he noticed the composure she managed to gather on her face.

He would rather expect her to curse him for being cold-blooded than simply watch her accept the cruel fact he brought to her in silence.

Oscar then turned off the light.

Surrounded by darkness, both of them stayed awake in tacit silence.

The next morning, Oscar told Max to help her pack up her luggage.

Standing still, Hannah watched Max busy doing his duty, next to whom Oscar continuously reminded him of some necessary belongings she might need.

Both of them knew Max had been scrupulous enough to take everything into consideration.

But driven by guilt, Oscar felt like doing as much as he could to make up for her feelings.

Meanwhile, Max was a bit confused-why did Oscar insist to take Hannah together with him to set off to the Capital as soon as he returned?

As far as he was concerned, Kensbury City should be a safer place to stay.

But still, Max remained silent under the serious atmosphere. Soon, he perfectly finished packing up the luggage.

After lunch, Oscar left with Hannah. Neither he nor she exchanged a word.

Finally, it was Oscar who took the initiative to speak, "I will send Jimmy to stay with you."

Hannah raised her head to take a look at Jimmy, who soon noticed her gaze.

He hurried to reply, "Ma'am, just rest assured. I will never hesitate to protect you even at the cost of my own life."

Though Hannah didn't want to get anyone else involved in danger, she didn't refuse.

Personally speaking, she knew having Jimmy to be her guard would be more secure. Besides, she could tell Oscar would insist even if she were to refuse. Since then, why bother saying no?

At this moment, she just wanted to avoid any possible quarrel between them.

She knew how many difficulties Oscar was about to face, the greatest one of which might be the following fact that he had to hand her over to Melvin as the hostage.

She found it hard to force out a smile to ease him. She showed nothing on her face but a cold expression coupled with silence.

As the car headed down the road, they reached a strange manor.

As soon as the car stopped, a man in a black suit walked over to open the door for them with great respect.

However, Hannah didn't get off the car.

Nor did Oscar.

"Hannah," uttered Oscar.

Mixed feelings surged up in her heart.

"Remember! Our lives matter the most!" said Oscar seriously.

For the sake of survival, he made her hostage.

But Hannah showed no response.

Since Oscar didn't seem to regret making this choice, she no longer spent more time talking with him. So she got off the car.

She felt like he just grabbed her arm, which seemed to be a kind of illusion the next second.

Hannah walked into the manor, followed by Oscar.

Inside the building, Melvin was enjoying a cup of tea.

He greeted them with a smile.

"I have been expecting you both."

Oscar turned to glance at Hannah, from whom he found nothing but sheer composure. Then he looked at Melvin, "I have a request."

Melvin seemed a bit sulky, "Oscar, do you think you have the right to negotiate?"

"I want Jimmy to stay by her side." Oscar simply ignored his words to continue.

Melvin took a look at Hannah, who showed no response.

"Mr Balderston, as you have promised, you won't do anything to Hannah. If so, at least I need someone to make sure you will abide by your promise. And I believe you are a man of your word." Melvin sneered to reply, "Oscar, don't be worried. No matter how many guards you want to send to stay by her side, I will be always okay with that as long as your loyalty to me has been guaranteed. And I promise I won't hurt her. However, if you dare to try any tricks, I can promise you that she won't survive even with Jimmy by her side."

"I know," Oscar stressed out his answer.

Melvin didn't intend to waste any time talking.

He then huffed, "The helicopter is expecting you in the backyard. Follow me."

As soon as he finished, Hannah couldn't help shivering.

She knew she was going to leave with Melvin.

At the thought of that, she bit her lips hard out of nervousness.

Oscar clenched her hand tight, while Hannah returned him with a gaze.

Then he led her to catch up with Melvin.

She stared at Oscar's back blankly.

Melvin was the first to get on the helicopter.

Oscar, still holding her hand, stopped in front of it.

He didn't let go of her hand. Instead, he tightened his grip.

Nor did Hannah intend to dissuade him. She showed no signs of breaking away from his grip. Nor did she take the initiative to entwine their palms together.

But she was reluctant to leave.

So she let Oscar make the final decision.

After all, she had left no room to decide on her own.

After a few seconds of pause, Oscar suddenly let go of his grip.

She felt like her heart was being shattered into pieces. Then she walked over to get in the helicopter. She knew it was Oscar who made the choice this time. However, there was one thing she still wasn't sure about-her life was still pending once Oscar made up his mind to fight Melvin.
