Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth novel Chapter 924

Chapter 924 Destined

"Are you sure it was my cousin who suggested this?" Manuel furrowed his brows in concern.

"Do you think I'd lie to you?" Hannah retorted back at him.

"I just find it hard to believe," Manuel said thoughtfully. At that moment, he knew there had to be some hidden motive behind Oscar's decision. Maybe his cousin had already started making moves against the Collines. If they did make a move, there would definitely be danger involved.

The only way he could ensure Hannah's safety was by taking them somewhere absolutely secure where they wouldn't get caught up in this dangerous situation.

But based on what he knew about Oscar, he wouldn't reveal any reasons behind his actions either way.

On the one hand, he didn't want Hannah to trust him blindly because telling her the truth wouldn't change anything except make him feel worse inside; on the other hand, even if Oscar won this fight, there were no guarantees that everything would turn out okay-something unexpected could always happen-so giving false hope wasn't an option either.

Until everything settled down completely, Oscar wouldn't say anything at all.

"Manuel," Sensing Manuel's silence, Hannah called out.

"Hmm?" He snapped back into focus.

Since Oscar wasn't saying anything, then naturally he'd respect whatever decision he made.

"Oscar wants me overseas," Hannah stated bluntly. After understanding all the ins and outs, Oscar's actions didn't seem so surprising anymore. He asked, "When are you leaving?"

"Next Wednesday."

"So soon?" Manuel exclaimed.

And what he was really thinking was whether his cousin was going to go after the Collins family so soon. During their internal power struggle years ago, Oscar hadn't gone all the way because Lillian was pregnant. Whether or not they had a hundred per cent chance of taking down the Collins family at that time, their actions were essentially keeping a threat growing. It was hard to say what kind of activities the Collins family had been up to during this long period of time.

However, after such a short amount of time, they were already taking action again; it seemed like they were being too hasty, Manuel reckoned.

But since Oscar had already made up his mind, Manuel believed that he wasn't someone who acted rashly and must have prepared for everything.

"I won't tell Susan about my leaving Northfield yet. I'm afraid she won't be able to accept it and I'm even more afraid that she'll directly go find Oscar and fight him." Hannah said with a smile.

Although she smiled, her heart felt uneasy. She always felt like her leaving would be difficult for Susan to accept.

"That's possible." Manuel nodded. "Okay then, I won't tell her."

Maybe she would come back soon enough anyway.

"Susan is in your hands now," Hannah said solemnly.

"Don't worry. I'll take care of her."

"I trust you completely," Hannah said. "You're the only person in this world who makes me feel at ease."

Manuel blushed slightly at Hannah's words as he had always been an easily embarrassed person since childhood.

"Well then, I won't disturb you while you're working," Hannah said after finishing speaking on the phone. She feared that if they talked too much longer it would be harder for them both.

"Hannah," Manuel called out before she hung up.

"Yes?"

"Don't be too disappointed with my cousin."

"I won't," Hannah replied calmly. "When there are no expectations left, there can be no disappointment either."

Manuel pursed his lips, surprised by her words. He thought this kind of feeling was even more terrible. It was a complete detachment from someone.

"Alright then." Manuel finally spoke again after some silence between them both on the phone line. "Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

After the call, Hannah remained silent for quite some time afterwards. It took time to truly let oneself become emotionless about something.

One week later, Theodore came to personally see them off on Wednesday. After Oscar went back that day, he disappeared from Hannah's world as if he never existed. They didn't call or text each other and naturally couldn't meet again.

When Hannah saw Theodore at this moment, she wasn't surprised. Oscar could send his most trusted person to see them off, which was considered going above and beyond.

"Is everything packed?" Theodore asked Hannah.
