Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth novel Chapter 540

Chapter 540 A Deal Under 2 Terms

The restaurant was frozen with tension.

Melvin met Hannah's gaze without talking.

No one desired to break the silence.

It was like a childish game in which the one who talked first would lose.

Hannah did put everything under the light. There was nothing more she could do if Melvin still turned her down.

The clock was ticking.

Melvin went back to his seat.

Hannah watched him cautiously.

The man lifted the glass and took a sip, rather gracefully.

She could not tell the man's decision for the time being.

Maybe, he was still considering.

The higher one stood, the more cautious he behaved.

Hannah tried hard to keep her head cool and her nerves steady.

It had been a long while of silence.

Putting down the glass, Melvin finally spoke, "I have 2 terms."

Hannah's heart was racing for his voice.

Did he agree?

She could not find a reason for his refusal during her planning of the talk.

And if he wanted to reject her, he would not have allowed her so much time to convince him.

So the Balderstons needed an impeccable excuse.

A thought came to Hannah that he was waiting for her.

"I would love to listen," Hannah said peacefully.

"First," Melvin said, looking into Hannah's eyes, "I can dig out the case, but I will only target Charles Sawyer."

Hannah understood.

This was not good timing for the Balderstons to confront the Collins.

Melvin would not get further even though he was clear that Collins would get involved.

Hannah promised, "OK."

And they were not capable enough to challenge the Collins.

She was sure that it was beyond her ability to stand against the Collins, which should be the business of Oscar as she believed.

"Given the fact that Charles Sawyer is Sarah Collin's husband, you must guarantee that my action would not provoke the Collins before I held him accountable by the law." Melvin continued.

Hannah frowned at his requirement.

Melvin implied, "I think Mrs Wells is wise enough to read my mind."

Hannah bit her lips.

So he meant that Hannah must break the knot between Charles and the Collins before his action.

This was undoubtedly a challenge.

But she had no choice but to accept the term.

"Second," Melvin did not allow time for Hannah to say yes and added, "After I save Mr Wells from jail, he should stay loyal to me. To put it straight, I admire Oscar's ability. And I will have him back to the City Hall, on condition that he stands with the Balderstons, other than the Collins.

Hannah looked straight at Melvin.

This was an unexpected requirement.

"OK," Hannah said with a nod, "We are grateful for your favour which must be paid off."

A smile was drawn on the man's emotionless face.

That was not a warm smile, but just an expression. And the so-called gratefulness was based on mutual benefits.

Melvin did have kept a long-term observation of Oscar, who was thought to be a helpful subordinate.

"Contact me after you can satisfy my requirements above. And this is my contact information. Next time, you can decently meet me."
