Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth novel Chapter 1126

Chapter 1126 Hannah's Refusal

"You know, Oscar has a younger brother named Cian," Justine began to explain. "The Wells family wanted an heir, so as both brothers were born, if it weren't for Cian, Oscar would have been the one to inherit the family's wealth and power. But since there could only be one successor, they chose Oscar because he was older and easier to train. He was tasked with assisting his younger brother in taking over Northfield's empire."

Hannah sipped her warm tea as she listened.

"From a young age, Oscar was taught how to protect and sacrifice for Cian. He rarely had any emotions of his own because he grew up fighting and killing, hunting small animals as a child and later killing anyone who stood in the way of Cian's success. He left his biological parents behind at a young age and didn't receive much love or affection growing up."

Justine continued speaking even though Hannah seemed disinterested.

"Despite all this, Oscar is surprisingly emotional more so than we expected from someone raised in that harsh environment. We thought he would be cold-blooded but he cares deeply about people, especially those close to him like Manuel and Theodore, whom we sent to him during difficult times."

Hannah smiled faintly as she continued drinking her tea.

"But this is also the result we wanted. For an emperor, being emotional may not be a good thing. Cian was more indifferent as if they have seen through the coldness of the world. Therefore, in governing the country, they can be fairer and manage a country better without feeling tired. But Oscar is different. He is not suitable to be a commander. Everything he does now is because his emotions are forcing him to do so. Because of Cian's unexpected death, he was forced to take on the Wells family's legacy and has been enduring it all along."

Hannah nodded her head lightly in agreement with Justine's point of view. It was true that Oscar had given everything for the Wells family's legacy and their ancestors' heritage.

Who could blame him?

That was his own choice. He chose to bear the burden of his family's great business even if it meant sacrificing himself. Of course, he had no other choice but to do so. He also had things that were hard for him to express or control. But these were all his problems and others shouldn't have to pay for them.

"Hannah," Justine said after taking a sip from her teacup, "I want you to know that Oscar is different from what others see on a surface level. He values emotions greatly, and it means that he has always held deep feelings for you since day one, whether it was when he was forced into marrying Lillian or when you 'died' unexpectedly. He now holds such a high position, but everything doesn't come easy for him. I believe right now he might feel more oppressed than anyone else. I hope there will be someone who can accompany him through this difficult life journey, someone whom he loves dearly... Well... I admit I still want you two back together again." Justine finally revealed her true intentions behind talking about Oscar with Hannah. "You both have Salem together, such an adorable child! And I'm sure you wouldn't want Sal growing up without having a complete family."
