Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth
Chapter 692 The Badger Game

Chapter 692 The Badger Game

Hannah lay on the bed and kept thinking about how she could "convince" Cian to sell the island to Melvin with good reason. At the time, what mattered was how to stay alive. She believed Oscar and Cian wouldn't care more about other things than her life. Telling from her conversation with Cian, Cian would agree to sell the island to Melvin for the time.

She was a little worried. As far as she knew Melvin, he wouldn't invite Cian over again. Although she was the one who had done the talking, she was on Melvin's side, so it was also his intention. He wouldn't suck up to Cian and offer the deal again if they failed this time.

Hannah calmed herself and thought about how she could make it happen. She was sure that she could come up with something to deal with it. The clock was ticking. Hannah didn't sleep at all.

"Mrs Wells, time for dinner. Mr Balderston is waiting." A servant knocked at the door and said.

Hannah came back to reality. It was evening time. She thought she must be crazy if she didn't cut herself some slack.

"OK. I'll be right there." Answered Hannah.

"Yes, Mrs Wells."

Hannah got off the couch and dressed. She went to the dining room with Jimmy and found Melvin and Cian waiting and chatting happily as if they didn't fall out because of the deal.

"Mrs Wells," Cian looked at her and greeted her calmly.

"Sorry. I overslept." Hannah apologized.

"Never mind. You're pregnant." Cian said thoughtfully.

Hannah smiled.

"Come sit here." Melvin pointed at the seat next to him.

Hannah hesitated but still did as he said.

Cian glanced at Melvin and cursed him in heart for taking advantage of Hannah once again. But Hannah didn't think much of it. Instead, she looked quite calm and cool.

"Good wine! It deserves its reputation!" said Cian loudly, which had drawn Melvin's attention. Cian meant it. He hated it when Melvin fixed his eyes on Hannah, and he swore he wouldn't let him get his way. "If you like it, take two bottles when you leave." Said Melvin.

"That's very generous of you, Melvin."

"It's okay."

They had a friendly and comfortable conversation. Cian went to the restroom midway. Damn it. Melvin had almost got him drunk. Cian kept asking for wine himself because he didn't want Melvin to lay his eyes on Hannah. He couldn't stand it.

"I've come up with something," Hannah told him as soon as Cian left the dining room.

Melvin was stunned and looked at her with doubt, "What is it?"

"Buy Harry's Island Manor with 20 million." Hannah went to the point.

"How?"

Actually, Melvin had given up but he surely didn't mind giving it a shot since Hannah said she could make it happen.

"I see Harry is a light drinker." Said Hannah.

"Indeed." Melvin nodded.

Of course, Hannah knew Cian could hold his liquor but he just pretended he couldn't. So, she was sure that Cian acted like a light drinker in social activities.

"Get him drunk and make him stay here overnight."

"Then?" Melvin raised his eyebrows.

"Then, you know badger game, don't you?"

"I told you he isn't into women." Melvin frowned and said coldly.

"That's why I called it a badger game, not a sex trap."

Melvin still looked indifferent.

"It doesn't matter if he likes women or not. He'll break the law if we assert that he has raped me. You're holding a high position and it's easy-peasy for you to replace him guilty. Harry is smart, he knows he can't fight you. He'll absolutely choose his safety over the property."

"But my reputation will be ruined then."

"What difference will it make?" Hannah raised her eyebrow and said sarcastically.

"I'm wondering what a terrible person I am in your eyes."

"The so-called personal reputation is nothing when compared with the very big events." Said Hannah, "Mr Balderston, don't bother to care about that. It doesn't matter."

Melvin said nothing. Clearly, he wasn't very happy with the idea, and Hannah couldn't guarantee he would agree with her.

"This is the only way I can figure it out. Well, it's already meant to try buying an island with 20 million. So, why bother to mind being meaner?" she asked.

Melvin stared at her coldly, wondering how good she was at being sarcastic. She was having a dig at him for being a hypocrite. He blinked his eyes lightly.

Cian was back. Hannah saw him and pretended that she hadn't talked to Melvin and focused on eating her food.

"Oh! I feel so dizzy!" Cian acted to be very drunk and dizzy when he returned to the dining room, "No more drinking, or, I'll be wasted."

"You must be kidding, Harry. You can drink like a fish!" Melvin refilled for Cian, "You can stay here tonight if you are too drunk to go. I've got plenty of rooms! Or do you think they aren't good enough for you?" "Oh, please don't pull my leg. It's my great honour to stay in here, but I'm afraid it'll bring you much trouble." Cian said with a smile.

"Come on! We're old friends!" Melvin lifted the wine glass, "It's been long. Let's get hammered!"

Cian looked bewildered and pretended to reject it a few times. In the end, he began drinking with Melvin once again. Hannah looked at them lightly and knew Melvin had agreed to her plan. And he was trying to get Cian drunk.

Cian was smart enough to get what she meant by glancing casually at her. No wonder Oscar kept saying Cian was a better heir. Undoubtedly, Cian was something. He was good at reading people's faces. A moment later, Cian rested over the dining table and yelled, "Refill me. I can have more..."

Hannah took a look at him and turned to Melvin, "He's drunk."

Melvin was silent. Maybe he was too ashamed to say anything. After all, he had compromised and agreed with Hannah, which was like a slap in his face.
