Chapter 826 A Talk With Lillian

Rowan was convinced. Lillian then continued, "But luckily, it was Hannah. At least we can confirm that Oscar hasn't planned to plot against us."

Rowan nodded. Even if it were Oscar who plotted all these and made Hannah his scapegoat, the Collins would still try to avoid any conflict with him. If they were to fight Oscar, neither side could benefit from that especially when the situation had just settled down. Now peace would be the priority. That was why neither Oscar nor the Collins dared to try any aggressive move. The Collins tried to dig out the truth just because they needed to know about Oscar's intention. They had to make sure that Oscar had started his conspiracy against them. If the worst were to happen, at least they would have the time to prepare themselves.

"But we can't just sit by. Even though it was Sarah who lost a fair fight, it's still a challenge against the Collins. We can't do nothing about it." Said Lillian.

"I know you wanna revenge on your sister. But now we can do nothing but wait. We got too many enemies preying on us. If anything goes wrong, they will seize the chance to hit us hard. I gotta admit that we have to swallow it temporarily even though I do wanna do something about it badly."

Hearing that, Lillian had to compromise.

"Okay. Whatever. We still have a chance to expect."

"Lillian, now you mean a lot to us. You gotta be careful. Take your sister as a lesson to learn. Don't make any mistakes."

"I know what to do."

"How do you feel right now?" asked Rowan caringly.

"Good. Ever since I got pregnant, I have barely experienced any troubles except for mere morning sickness at the beginning when I hadn't noticed my pregnancy. How time flies. From the moment I knew I got pregnant, I feel no sickness anymore. Dad, don't worry. I will take care of myself." Said Lillian.

"I am glad to hear that. But Lillian..." Though Rowan sounded much more relieved, he started hesitating again.

"What's the matter?" Lillian frowned to ask.

"You've been pregnant for more than four months... It's time to go home and check the gender of your baby."

Upon hearing that, she felt like her heart skipped a beat. Ever since she got pregnant, she had never thought about it. But now she was rendered a bit annoyed as soon as Rowan mentioned it. Though Northfield appeared to be less patriarchal on the surface, the country still adopted a hereditary system. Thus, men were born to be a bit more superior, especially in a noble family like the Collins. If the baby were to be a girl, Oscar wouldn't be likely to make her the heir.

"Don't be nervous. We will see when you're home." Rowan could tell that she was worried. So he hurried to comfort her.

"But I am wondering about the gender of Hannah's baby." Lillian was more far-sighted.

It was a must to figure that out, she believed.

"That's what worries me as well. At that time we set a deal with Oscar, we did promise that he could keep Hannah by his side. And we also promised that the birth of her baby is allowed. But we made this compromise just because we needed to make peace. Besides, he aggressively insisted on that. So we chose to compromise. But now after a second thought, we learn that a lot of troubles would occur. If your baby appears to be a boy, all that troubles would be solved. However, if your baby is a girl while hers is a boy..."

Upon hearing that, Lillian couldn't help clenching her fists. Of course, that would be the worst situation.

"We may talk about it after you return home. Even if the worst were to occur, we could still do something about it." Rowan continued to solace her, "Though we can't make any rash move against Oscar, it's still easy peasy for us to take out Hannah. But at the same time, we have something on Oscar. I don't think he will take a risk."

"Okay." Lillian nodded.

After a few minutes of talking, Rowan hung up the phone.

Lying on the bed, Lillian tossed and turned, replaceing it hard to fall asleep. She got to admit that the talk with her father brought her a great deal of agitation. No one could decide the gender of the baby. Awake, she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. Alert, Lillian hurried to get up and opened the door.

It was Hannah standing at the door, "I suppose you still stay awake."

Staring at her, Lillian didn't expect that she would have taken the initiative to talk to her.

But where was Oscar?

Lillian took a peep around.

"He's taking shower. Don't worry. I will do nothing to harm you." Said Hannah frankly.

Lillian smiled, "I don't mean that. But I suppose Oscar doesn't want to see us talking alone."

"Is he that scary?" asked Hannah.

"It's just out of respect. Mutually."

"Do you think he's showing respect to you when he's trying to keep me as a mistress?"

Lillian answered after a short pause, "My marriage with Oscar was based on nothing but a political ally. We won't interfere with each other's private life."

"It was indeed a marriage based on the political purpose to Oscar. Do you think the same applies to you?"

Lillian stared at her, silent.

"If you viewed the marriage in the same way as he did, you wouldn't have emphasized how nice he was to you in front of me."

After her real thoughts are revealed, Lillian was rendered embarrassed.

"Neither of us can change his mind. All I could do is that I gotta strive for his affection."

"But I can tell you want something more than that," Hannah said firmly.

Lillian couldn't help clenching her teeth. Though Hannah didn't look aggressive, she always got choked when talking to her face to face. Hannah was more sophisticated than she expected. What was more, it was she who put Sarah in prison. Undoubtedly, Hannah deserved her high alert. As far as she knew about Oscar, he loved Hannah more than her attractive appearance only. Though contemplating a lot, Lillian still maintained a composed look.

"During our talk in the hospital, I have learned a lot from what you told me. That's why I stay obedient and make no trouble again. I know that I, including my family, will be doomed within a second without Oscar's protection. So I never try anything risky. But I have contemplated a lot these days. As long as Oscar still holds the power he got, you, I mean the Collins, will never plot against me in case he gets offended. Neither will the other enemies of his. So if Oscar stays in this position, my family and I can continue to live a wealthy life."

"What do you mean?" Lillian stayed highly alert.

"I don't wanna hold back his career. So I want you to help me run away from him." Hannah stressed out her answer.

A sudden change finally appeared on Lillian's expression, "Are you sure I have the guts?"

"Yes, I bet that." Said Hannah confidently.

Stunned, Lillian felt like her mind was being seen through.
