Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth -
Chapter 689 Insidious Melvin
Chapter 689 Insidious Melvin
Oscar didn't leave the Collins family until the birthday party ended at 10 pm. And he accompanied Lillian for almost a whole day. A lot of news, real or false, spread out.
The capital was a city of colourful neon lights at night, in which the rich got pleasure. Oscar sat in the car and looked at the flowing lights outside, silent. The driver parked the car in the residential area, and did not see any action from Oscar, nor did he dare to speak, so he had to wait quietly for his command.
He didn't know how long it took before he heard Oscar say, "Go to the Balderston's Manor."
The driver also participated in the cause of the Wells family. At that moment, he could not help reminding, "Mr Wells, it may not be appropriate to go there at this time..."
"I know." Oscar interrupted him and was determined.
The driver didn't dare to disobey him so he drove to the Balderston's manor.
The car was pulled over at the gate. It couldn't go in without Melvin's permission.
"Should I go out and negotiate?" asked the driver.
"No."
The driver was surprised.
"Just stay here for a moment," Oscar said indifferently.
"OK."
An iron gate separated him and Hannah. He didn't know what she would think when she knew his attitude toward Lillian today. He didn't dare to break in here and tell her it was all a lie or take Hannah away. Now he could only put her in the most dangerous place. At the thought of it, Oscar clenched his fists.
He was not as calm as he thought. From the day he sent Hannah here, he had been repressed and he almost broke down. He didn't know if there would be a day when he could throw caution to the wind. Whenever he had this idea, he would see the picture of his parents dying and their bodies drifting on the sea; whenever he had this idea, he would think about Cian's loneliness.
His eyes were red as he forced himself to swallow all his emotions.
"Let's go back."
"Yes."
He didn't have much time to grieve and suffer. All he could do was go forward and there was never a way back.
Inside the manor, Melvin watched Oscar arrive, stay, and leave through the monitoring at the door.
He sneered. He almost thought that Oscar would rush in on impulse. After all, he should have guessed that Hannah knew about him and Lillian.
But he still chose to keep silent. When he needed to face the choice, Hannah would be abandoned by Oscar.
Melvin suddenly didn't want Hannah to die so soon and thought it was a shame if she died.
For so many years, he hadn't looked at any woman. In fact, he had no interest in Lillian Collins at all. All he was educated about from childhood was how to get Northfield, and there was no leisure time for him to talk about love.
He even thought that he didn't have a function of love at all. And that was why there was not a single lady had ever attracted him, and he had never had a relationship although he was in his 30 now. Everyone said he had been saving himself for Lillian Collins but it was probably the best joke in the world.
Even though he felt slight changes in his feelings for Hannah from time to time, it was in no way an affection for her, Melvin thought.
He was not an unprincipled man who would fall in love with a pregnant woman. He had nothing more than interest in her.
Melvin called someone, "Harry."
"What's up?"
"Come to my home tomorrow, I will show you a new antique treasure I got."
"What is it?" That man was interested.
"You will know when you get here."
"What?"
"I want to surprise you."
"Well, I will be here tomorrow."
"I will wait for you then."
"See you tomorrow."
"See you."
After hanging up the phone, Melvin smiled evilly. He would like to see how powerful Hannah could be so that he could let her live willingly.
The next day, Hannah woke up. She had some bad dreams. All the emotions were covered up at the sight of Melvin.
"You are early today, Mr Balderston."
Melvin came to her yard earlier than usual. He looked at Hannah and said, "There will be a guest at home today." Hannah was a bit nervous.
"I will tell you what I wanted to tell you yesterday."
Hannah frowned and pretended she didn't understand what he meant because she needed to hide her thoughts properly. "Not interested?" Melvin raised his eyebrow.
"No." Hannah said indifferently, "It's just no matter if I'm interested or not, I have no choice as long as you decide, isn't it?" Melvin laughed. What she said always pleased him.
He said, "Hannah, you are so clever."
"Thank you."
"I have a friend coming over today. I am interested in an island under his name. Don't ask me too much. Just try to help me negotiate his island today, and the price cannot exceed 20 million. I promise that as long as I am alive, you'll be alive too."
Hannah looked at Melvin and asked him, "How much is the market value of the island?"
"At present, at least 20 billion."
Hannah was speechless.
Melvin smiled at the sight of her eyes.
"How can it reflect your value if it is not difficult?"
"Please tell me something about your friend."
"Harry, 21 years old. His parents died in an air crash, and he inherited billions of assets at a young age. His private assets are more than those of your four big families in Kensbury City. The island is just one of his fixed assets, which is of no importance to him."
