Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth novel Chapter 681

Chapter 681 Coming Storm (3)

Oscar got into a black limousine, which was specifically designated by Rowan to pick him up every time he reported to him. Obviously, Rowan still reserved great alert to him. After all, as a sophisticated politician, Rowan would never spend his trust 100% on anyone else.

Soon, the limousine arrived at a manor. In the Capital, the Collins located their manor in the northern part while the Balderston in the southern part. Both the two vintage manors with unostentatious decorations were actually worth hundreds of millions while surrounded by guards. Whoever tried to trespass on the land would end up miserably.

Oscar got off the limousine and followed one of the guards to a courtyard.

He didn't' see Rowan enjoying his tea in a study until he walked through a central room followed by a corridor.

Next to Rowan, there sat Sarah Collins, who had been viewed as the apple of his eye.

Inside the study, there was another gentleman named Mathew Collins, the only son of Rowan. Meanwhile, he was most likely to be the only heir to Rowan.

Rowan had a second-born daughter, who was still studying in school. She was still too young to play her role in the family business. Oscar had never seen his second-born daughter even though he had been working for Rowan for a month.

"Come on, just tell me. What are you gonna report to me so late into the night?" asked Rowan while continuing with his tea.

Standing still, Oscar seemed a bit hesitant.

Rowan couldn't help frowning, "Oscar, don't waste my time. I got a national conference to attend tomorrow, before which I need enough time to sleep."

Oscar nodded and then replied, "Mr Collins, I got something to confess."

"What is it all about?" though he appeared a bit carefree, as scheming as he had been, he actually stayed attentive.

Obviously, he knew it must be something important. So before Oscar's arrival, he specifically asked for more guards around the study in case Oscar was conspiring against him.

Besides, he asked for Sarah's and Mathew's companionship, from whom he could extract advice. As always, he covered up his scheming mind with the disguise of nonchalance.

But Oscar simply pretended that he noticed nothing about it. He just continued, "Actually, I have partnered with Melvin Balderston."

Rowan's countenance changed abruptly.

So did Sarah's.

"Oscar, what do you mean? Are you saying that there was a deal between you and Melvin? Are you working for him as his spy?" asked Sarah.

"I used to be." Oscar actually confessed.

Sarah was stunned, "Oscar, how dare you!"

"But I believe Mr Collins could tell how loyal I have been."

"You wanna convince us that you still stay loyal to us while working for Melvin? Oscar, who the hell do you think you are? Are you trying to fool us?"

"If I weren't loyal to you, I wouldn't have confessed my connection with Melvin to you. Yes, I gotta admit that I used to be instigated to work for him. At that time, Melvin had already predicted that you would come to ask me to join in. So before your visit, he came to me to conclude a deal with me-he told me to join the Collins's side and be his informant."

As soon as he finished, Rowan's face turned livid. Undoubtedly, he was stunned by Melvin's scheming mind.

"Sorry, Mr Collins, I was being too naive. I really regretted my choice." Oscar gnashed.

"What are you gonna do? Now that Melvin has your wife grounded. What can you do about it?" Rowan feigned a caring tone.

"Mr Collins, I am gonna ask for your help to rescue my wife." Oscar requested.

"It could be really difficult. You should know that we still maintain a peaceful relationship with the Balderston on the surface. However, storms and danger are brewing. I can't just simply rescue her from the control of the Balderston."

"Yeah, I am fully aware of the situation." Oscar nodded.

"But don't worry. I will keep her safety in mind. Oscar, as long as you stay loyal to me, I will never fail you." Rowan promised.

"Mr Collins, if Hannah is to be rescued, I will never hesitate to return you even with the cost of my life."

"You'd better mark your word." Said Rowan seriously. Then he waved his hand, "Okay, it's getting late. You may dismiss yourself."

"Yes, Mr Collins." Oscar bowed respectfully.

He wasn't in a hurry to expedite his plan. After all these had been conveyed to Rowan, it would take some time for him to discuss it with his daughter and son. Of course, whether to assassinate Oscar would be part of his discussion.

After Oscar had left, Rowan asked seriously, "Mathew, what's your opinion?"

From the beginning to the end, Mathew remained silent while sizing Oscar up and contemplating his confession. Then he suggested, "I think we need to have his words verified."
