Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth

Chapter 696 The Feud

In the Capital, Oscar, Manuel, and Theodore were together in Oscar's apartment, and the atmosphere was rather tense.

"Collins will take action soon. Melvin knows that, and he is carefully arranging to guarantee his safety of himself. I'm not well engaged in his arrangements, and I'm in the total dark about his security measures." Oscar said in a serious tone.

Manuel and Theodore remained silent and solemn.

"Now let's prepare for it separately." Oscar got straight to the point, "I'll kill Melvin. If I kill him, the Collins family will blame me. But before that, they will first wipe out the Balderston family and take over them. At that time when they concentrate their energy on the Balderston family, we'll get a golden opportunity to defeat them. Theodore, you get everything ready to make sure you'll take the Collins."

"Sure thing." Theodore gave a straight-out answer.

"As for you, Manuel," Oscar looked at him, "You're going to save Hannah."

Manuel wore a very serious expression.

Theodore looked at Oscar. He didn't know why Oscar asked Manuel to come here. Now he suddenly realized that Oscar wanted him to save Hannah in advance. Now, Theodore had the utmost admiration for Oscar.

"I dare not arrange others to do it, as I only trust you now, and you are unnoticed by them," Oscar said.

Oscar always respected Manuel's choice that he didn't want to be engaged in their dispute. He did not want Manuel to be involved in their matter, as he was unwilling to drag his aunt Justine into such a mess. If so, Justine's family could still live, even though he suffered a defeat. He hadn't asked Manuel to do anything since Manuel decided to help him. Now it was the day that Manuel came in handy.

The Balderston family would be caught off guard by Manuel. They were on their guard against everyone around Oscar, except for Manuel, who was not under observation, and things were easier for him. "No problem." Manuel gave a ready promise.

"Melvin was fully occupied these days, so it's your great opportunity to save Hannah from the Balderston manor. I won't give you other hands so as not to alert them, but I'll try to meet your other demands." Oscar said.

"All right." Manuel nodded.

"I'm counting on you bringing Hannah back safely," Oscar said seriously, and he meant he wanted to be fully absorbed in the battle between the two families.

"Don't worry. I'll do my utmost to save Hannah, even if I give my life." Manuel spoke in earnest.

Oscar was deeply touched beyond words, and he gave Manuel a pat on the shoulder. At this moment, the silence was better than speech.

"Manuel, you leave here secretly later. There are many informers around me. Take care." Oscar told.

"Mhm."

Manuel left the apartment immediately, escorted by Theodore.

A few minutes later, Theodore came back.

"Manuel has gone away safely," said Theodore.

"Fine." Oscar nodded.

"Oscar," Theodore gave him a cigarette and asked, "Will you still take action if Manuel fails to save Hannah?"

They were smoking in the room. No one could know if Manuel would succeed. What would Oscar do if Manuel failed? His lover and baby, or the feud, which one would he choose? There was no doubt that it was very hard for him to make a decision.

Oscar looked at him without a word. On that night, they smoked a lot and sat for a long time, and Oscar didn't give an answer at last.

The next day, Oscar went to the Collins Manor as invited. Oscar was clear that the Collins family would take action soon. He came into Rowan's study and faced them, pretending to know nothing. Rowan began, "After careful consideration, I think your suggestion is great."

Oscar still kept his countenance and said nothing.

"We've talked it over and reached an agreement on it. So, we're going to take action tonight as per your suggestion." Rowan continued.

"Tonight?"

"Yes. There's going to be a national dinner tonight. Melvin, me, and all the representatives will attend it. It's good for us to dissociate ourselves from the action. I'll have someone to assassinate me, and you'll take the bullet for me. And then you will go to kill Melvin. Everything is arranged as your plan, only the place and time changed." Rowan said.

"OK." Oscar agreed.

"If successful, I will give you your due."

"I'll do the best."

"I'm counting on you tonight."

"All right."

"Oh, don't go back home." Rowan said, "Let's go to dinner together later. And I'll ask Lillian to accompany you to buy a suit for the dinner."

"Thank you, Mr Collins," Oscar said respectfully.

Rowan just wanted Lillian to watch him and prevent him from furnishing others with the information.

When Rowan was about to get out of the study, Sarah began, "Father, do you want Lillian to accompany Oscar?"

"It's just playacting. Don't worry. I'll kill Oscar when our goal is reached, and Lillian will be fine." Rowan said.

"I know, but I'm afraid that Lillian's reputation would be damaged." Sarah assumed an air of concern. She didn't hope there was a little relationship between her sister and Oscar. She wanted a relationship with Oscar.

Rowan smiled and said, "Nothing serious. Nobody dares to comment on my daughters. Don't worry about what will happen to Lillian and Oscar. You know, you are still the apple of my eye, even if you were once married to Charles and then got divorced. And I'll help you get anybody you want."

"I want..." Sarah was on the point of saying it when she checked herself, she knew that Oscar would die sooner or later.
