Chapter 962 Searching for Besse

Doyle held Besse in his arms and did not immediately agree to Oscar's request. It was clear that he had a strong aversion towards Oscar.

"I visited your country last time for an interview, Queen Carol personally received me and showed me many of the famous tourist attractions in your country. This time, with Prince Doyle coming over, I would like to repay Queen Carol's kindness." Said Oscar.

"I won't be staying in Northfield for too long."

"The itinerary will naturally revolve around you, Prince Doyle."

"I'll arrange my work first on my end. If there is any free time left, I'll contact you later."

Doyle felt a strong sense of rejection towards Oscar and thought that he was a threat to him.

"Alright then, I'll wait for news." Nodded Oscar, as Doyle took Besse away with him.

Oscar watched them leave until they were out of sight. Theodore spoke up beside him, "She's not Hannah."

Theodore knew Oscar too well after all these years following him around. He knew that he must have mistaken Besse for Hannah but didn't want him to continue being so stubborn about it.

"Just now at the fashion show, I had someone investigate Besse already. She is 26 years old and was born in Jolencami as the daughter of one of their royal ministers, who died along with his wife during an ai crash when they were travelling abroad for interviews. Besse became an orphan after her parents passed away but was taken care of by Queen Carol since then. She grew up with Doyle since her childhood days. They've been close friends ever since then before becoming lovers at age 18, which gained full support from their entire royal family even setting up plans for them to get married at age 22." "However, just one week before their wedding day she got into a major car accident, which left her comatose. She remained unconscious lying in the hospital bed for a year until miraculously waking up again." Oscar listened to him while sipping champagne from his glass. Theodore handed over his phone to show some photos of Besse throughout her life stages from childhood to adulthood. Oscar took his phone and started going through the information Theodore got.

"Besse and Doyle had a great relationship, both having a particular obsession with design under Queen Carol's influence. With the queen taking a backseat, the brand was now being upheld by Doyle and Besse, and their designs were gaining global acceptance." Theodore said confidently. He knew without a doubt that Besse was not Hannah.

The explosion was too devastating. There couldn't have been any survivors. Although they didn't recover the bodies of Hannah and Lillian at that time, except for the difficulty in salvaging them due to rough waters, Oscar chose to give up on his own accord. As Oscar was in the hospital, he was responsible for searching for Hannah and Lillian's bodies. He worried more about Oscar not being able to accept seeing Hannah's body. So after searching for one day and night, he gave up hope, thinking that, sometimes, leaving room for imagination could give those who were still alive greater motivation.

Now he regretted it somewhat. He should have been straightforward at that time, for short-term pain was better than long-term pain. If Oscar had seen Hannah's body with his own eyes then there would be no hope left for him anymore.

He wasn't afraid of Oscar snatching the fiancee of the prince of Jolencami; what worried him was that Oscar would be disappointed again. He couldn't take so many blows before falling down one day. "Can you help me check if Doyle came to the Capital four years ago?" Oscar handed his phone back to Theodore calmly but firmly.

Theodore slapped himself in frustration before saying helplessly, "Oscar, you will be disappointed."

"Hmm."

There wasn't much response from Oscar as he continued watching Besse laughing gently beside Doyle while their relationship seemed so good. His heart felt very uncomfortable indeed. "Oscar it's getting late, why don't we leave now?" Theodore arranged everything but saw that Oscar's eyes never left Besse even once.

"You don't need to accompany me anymore, go do your own thing." Said Oscar.

Theodore felt puzzled by this statement from Oscar. At that moment, someone passing by in front of him caught his attention. He remembered her, the opening model.

There was an evil smile appearing on his face. Now he misunderstood that Oscar gave him some private time deliberately.

"I'll go over there and take a walk then. Call me if you need anything." Said he.

Oscar nodded slightly. His eyes were fixed on the figure in the hall and seemed to have no interest in anything else or anyone else.

Theodore left. As he left, he straightened his clothes and took a glass of red wine as he walked towards that woman's side.

Little Bunny was chatting with others at this moment. Naturally, everyone who came to the banquet today was either rich or noble. She had to pull more resources for herself by attending such events. She was laughing and talking happily when she saw Theodore approaching her at that moment. She lightly pursed her lips. It had been too long since she last saw Theodore. Meeting him on such an occasion made he feel somewhat uncomfortable. Moreover, she always thought that Theodore didn't recognize her anymore. At this moment when he suddenly approached her again made her slightly nervous. Although she didn't have any feelings for him anymore, they still maintained their marital relationship because they hadn't divorced yet after all these years. They were strangers to each other now, which made her feel awkward whenever they met.

"I wonder if I could have the honour of having a drink with you?" Theodore took the initiative to speak up.

Little Bunny didn't know how to respond. Fortunately, due to his arrival, those who had been chatting with her offered several glasses of wine proactively for Theodore.

But they also knew what kind of situation it was between Little Bunny and Theodore, so after drinking some wine together, they found excuses and left so soon, leaving only Little Bunny alone with Theodore, which made it more awkward than ever before.

"What? You want to turn me down?" asked Theodore.

Little Bunny thought that maybe he was deliberately mocking her. No matter what their relationship used to be like before, as his wife came out here socializing like this, he would inevitably feel like losing face. She then raised her glass and said, "I'll drink first."

She just didn't want any further entanglement with him anymore. She felt even if Theodore wanted to deal with her then it should be discussed privately between them. She had already decided that it would be better if she divorced Theodore right now.
