After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 538

Chapter 538 The Capital (2) Meet Him

At 8 PM of the second night, a triple team containing Hannah, Theodore and Jimmy set off from Kensbury on a new car with a Capital license plate number.

As always, Jimmy was the driver.

Theodore sat beside him, while Hannah rested herself in the seat behind.

"When we get to the capital, we will settle down in Marriot Deluxe Club. It belongs to my family. So we don't need to check in and we can avoid any possibility of exposure." Theodore said, "Meanwhile, I had my people get Melvin Balderston's agenda. With that, we can figure out when and how to meet him."

"Great," Hannah nodded.

In most of the cases, Theodore was a reassuring ally for his thorough consideration.

Though rough he appeared to be, he was rather thoughtful.

Without him, they would have spent more time before figuring out Oscar's implications. When Oscar talked about his birthday, he was giving them a clue, which was his cell phone.

Hannah sat and pondered in silence, watching the highway dashing backwards and the sky as black as pitch.

Oscar's thin figure broke into her mind.

Hannah was tingling with heartache.

She would save Oscar at all costs, and she must send Charles to hell at any price.

The car was filled with silence.

Theodore reposed in his seat. Maybe he had less taste of sleep too.

Hannah sat still like a stone figure, watching outside.

Thanks to Theodore's arrangement ahead, their secret travel went smoothly badly.

They arrived at Marriot in the capital before 9 am of the next morning. Then they were led to a deluxe suite.

"Do you need a break or food first?" Theodore inquired.

A whole-night car trip was indeed exhausting.

"I might need some sleep to wake up my appetite," Hannah replied. She was worn out.

Then Theodore said no more.

They moved into their bedroom respectively and slept quickly.

When Hannah woke up, it was 3 pm already.

Hunger might be the reason to drag her out of her slumber.

When she opened the door, she found her teammates were already working.

Men had enviable vitality indeed. They seemed to have a strange ability to recover from exhaustion much faster than women.

"We have fed ourselves. And I have arranged room service for you." Theodore said to Hannah when she went out.

"Thank you."

Not for a while, the room service was in place. Hannah took a satisfying meal. Her appetite was awakened after the long break.

After the meal, Hannah sat on the lounge in the living room.

Theodore passed her a document and said, "This is Melvin Balderston's introduction, including his preference, hobbits and daily routine. Take a look and find out a suitable time that we can have a good meeting with him."

Hannah plunged into the papers as soon as she fetched it.

Melvin Balderston was at age 31, unmarried, and had a girlfriend.

His girlfriend, Wendy, a diplomatist, used to be Melvin's classmate and they developed into lovers. Their relationship was headed towards marriage and they would likely get married next year.

Hannah read ahead.

Besides handling the business of his family, big and small, Melvin Balderston was on duty in Capital City Hall. And coincidentally, he was in charge of the Investigation Department. So having him inserted into Oscar's case was perfectly reasonable.

Hannah started her plan when she read, so the papers cost her a quiet long time.

Her wordless reading seemed too long for Theodore who lost his patience and said, "So do you have a plan? When shall we meet Melvin Balderston?"

"The day after tomorrow," Hannah answered, "Wendy's birthday."
