After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 691

Chapter 691 Apologize

After lunch, Melvin invited Cian to the tea house. They tasted tea and had some small talk, while Hannah stayed beside them and cut in from time to time. Things in the tea house were easy, and nothing seemed weird.

At that moment, Melvin's phone rang. He took a look at the number and told the others, "Excuse me. I got a call. Please knock yourselves out."

Hannah blinked her eyes slightly. She knew Melvin left them alone on purpose so that she could negotiate with Cian on the business which Melvin couldn't put forward himself. Indeed, Melvin was an old fox!

Melvin left, so Hannah and Cian were left alone in the tea house. Jimmy was also there. But the three of them stayed calm and said nothing because they all knew there was a camera in there.

Suddenly, Hannah stood up, and Cian looked at her.

"Mr Harry, would you mind taking a walk with me? I have sore back since I got pregnant. The doctor advised me to do some exercise, which will be good for the baby." Hannah said.

"My honour."

Hannah smiled. She walked in the front while Cian followed her back. They went into the beautiful garden of Balderston Manor.

There were cameras in the garden, too, but they were far away. They wouldn't be overheard if they kept their voices down. In the meantime, Melvin was holding a glass of wine in a tiny attic and watching them meaningfully.

"What are you doing here?" asked Cian in a very low voice.

"Oscar sent me."

Cian was shocked to hear that.

Hannah could guess that Oscar had kept a lot from Cian.

"How did you know Melvin?" asked Hannah.

"I need some social contacts. I've got a great sum of money and it'll be an eye-catcher if I just keep my head down and isolate myself from society. So, I show my face every now and then and was targeted by Melvin one time. He wanted to draw the rich families to his side but dared not carry it too far. The four families in Kensbury are too eye-catching and the Collins family is being watched, so he can't act rashly. That's why he aims at my money and properties. But Oscar doesn't want me to be close to him, so I keep him at arm's length."

"Uh-huh."

Hannah had an idea of the whole thing and asked again, "Do you know what Melvin wants?"

"What he wants?" Cian knew it wouldn't be something good.

"He wants to buy your island for 20 million."

"What? Nice try!" Cian smiled sarcastically.

"His offer is that he'll guarantee my safety if I help close the deal. That is to say, if Oscar couldn't protect me, I'll be safe as long as Melvin is alive."

Cian looked very bad.

"Don't be upset. I understand your mission, and I don't want to be the one to be blamed."

"Sorry." Cian apologized.

Hannah was surprised to hear that.

"I didn't imagine Oscar would really give you out."

"I said I understood."

"But do you accept it in your heart?"

Hannah hesitated.

"I don't want you to hate Oscar. He had no other choice."

"Yep." Hannah didn't feel like talking about it. She understood Oscar but she really hated to. The hatred she bore would make her stronger.

"Don't worry. We'll figure it out. The point is, how are you gonna sell the island to Melvin and he won't be suspicious of it."
