Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth novel Chapter 709

Chapter 709 The Feud (14) Gather Strength

A few days later, the news of Melvin's death spread quickly throughout the whole of Northfield and caused a national uproar.

Rowan openly expressed his guilt and regret over Melvin's death. Then he publicized everything that happened in the state dining room that night. And he also expressed deep regret that he had forcibly ordered his arrest.

Of course, he didn't reveal whether the assassination to him planned by Melvin was true or false. He would wait until Oscar had done everything he should do and then stand out to say it was all a misunderstanding. In the end, he could blame Oscar for Melvin's death and everything else. So, he could not only own Northfield but also do it justifiably.

Imagining everything to be perfect, the Collinses began to enjoy their coming benefits.

With the troops of the Collins family, Oscar started his secret persuasion and repression of the Balderston family.

First, he held Mrs Balderston and took her to the so-called resort to rest on the grounds that she was devastated because of her son's death. In fact, insiders all knew that she was only placed under house arrest. After controlling Mrs Balderston, Oscar started with the most powerful member of the Balderston family. Given advance notice, many of Melvin's close associates either surrendered or were discarded by him. Some of them died in the end.

All of these only took a week.

Oscar grasped over 60% of Melvin's power, which meant it would be a piece of cake for the Collins family to announce that they were about to take over the Balderston family because it had lost its leader and Mrs Balderston was too sad to run the family.

Rowan praised Oscar a lot, "Oscar, what you've done is far higher than I imagined again. I thought you could at most achieve 30 to 40 per cent within a week. But I didn't expect you could make it to 60 per cent."

"It's not as tough as you think. Now the Balderstons have lost their leader, so it's in a state of disunity. As long as one surrenders then everyone else will compromise, because no one won't look out for his own interests and rights. But I do cause a loss to you because I couldn't persuade two powerful retainers of the Balderston family and killed them." Oscar showed a little self-accusation.

"I know what you're considering. If you didn't kill them to establish your prestige, it wouldn't be so fast to finish all of these. And you can outperform them all, so I lose nothing." Rowan admired him again and lift him to a high position.

"It's my pleasure."

"Good, now that it's all in our plan, we can hold Melvin's memorial meeting tomorrow. And I'll let Mrs Balderston attend but won't give her any chance to speak from the beginning to the end. If the press gets her pictures, we can say she's too sad to talk. On the memorial, I'll arrange for someone to sigh on purpose to bring up the subject of the Balderston family being ungoverned now, and then I'll take over the whole family pretending I'm reluctant. Everything worked out fine in the end." Rowan was making his plan.

"Congratulations." Oscar complimented.

Rowan laughed loudly. He was so excited that he couldn't control himself, "Oscar, I'll give you a big gift then!"

"I'll appreciate it." Oscar seemed to be joyful, knowing the cunning and insidiousness in Rowan's eyes.

"You need to arrange and prepare the thing tomorrow. After all, the Balderston family still maintains 40 per cent of its power, so someone will inevitably turn up at the memorial tomorrow. I'll leave the security work to you."

"You may rest assured. I'll fight to the death to keep you safe and maintain order at the memorial. No one can interfere with your control of the Balderston family."

"Good! I trust your capacity. You can go back and prepare it, and you can talk to me if you're uncertain about something."

"Yes. I'll report to you as I finish it."
