Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth novel Chapter 989

Chapter 989 Besse Stays at Oscar's Place

Besse was stunned by his gaze. It was so sincere and determined that she felt like she shouldn't question it. She pursed her lips and chose to remain silent at that moment. She couldn't help but direct her anger towards Oscar.

But at that moment, Oscar was helping her out of the situation. Besse suddenly fell silent while Oscar spoke up, saying, "I will give you a satisfactory answer to this matter."

Besse was surprised by his offer, "You'll give me an answer?"

"I have a responsibility to investigate what happened in Northfield." Replied Oscar.

"It's not necessary." Besse refused directly. "It's just a small matter. Mr Commander, you don't need to handle it personally. I can take care of it myself."

Oscar looked at Besse as she refused without hesitation.

"I hope you don't get involved in this matter at all." Continued Besse firmly. "I don't want anyone to be forced into submission because of your power or influence."

"I believe you didn't plagiarize..."

"I know Mr Commander wants to talk about trade exports with Jolencami, but everything has its limits. I hope you won't cross the line for personal gain."

Besse thought that Oscar helped her only because he wanted Jolencami's cooperation on trade exports.

Oscar kept looking at Besse with his eyes fixed on hers, while Salem sat quietly beside them throughout their conversation without interrupting them even once.

"Could you please drop me off at my hotel?" asked Besse.

"Sure thing." Nodded Oscar before turning towards the driver and instructing him politely, "Take us back to the hotel."

The car ride became quiet again after their brief exchange of words until Oscar spoke up again, "Sal."

Oscar knew Salem was embarrassed while being ignored during their conversation.

"Dad?"

At this point, even Besse shifted her attention towards Salem who had been sitting there silently all along since they got into the car together earlier today. The boy's voice made her somewhat regret what she had said a few moments ago-Besse was afraid that what she had said to his dad when she was in a temper would have made Salem uneasy.

"Is there going be an arts festival happening next week?" asked Oscar.

"Yes, Una and I have shows planned. Una will play the piano so she's been practising these days, and I'll have a poetry slam."

"Are parents invited to attend?"

"Yes," Salem nodded. "But if you are busy, you don't have to come."

Salem's maturity touched Oscar's heart. Not just Oscar, but even Besse felt a bit guilty listening in on their conversation.

"I'm not busy. I'll attend." Oscar assured him.

"Really?" Salem's eyes lit up with excitement. He didn't want to trouble the adults by asking them to come, but he was secretly thrilled that his dad would be there for him.

"I'll tell Una when we get home. She'll be so happy!" Salem couldn't contain his joy any longer.

"Okay." Oscar smiled at him as they continued chatting in the car. Their conversation helped ease some of the tension in the vehicle as they arrived at their hotel.

Besse opened her door and was about to step out when Oscar grabbed her hand suddenly. She furrowed her brows slightly at his touch before he quickly let go and apologized for startling her.

"There are reporters outside." He explained himself before Besse noticed them herself.

Groups of journalists were waiting outside for her arrival with cameras ready and microphones poised for questions.
