CHAPTER 844 DARK SIDE OF AMBITION

Chapter 844 Dark Side of Ambition

"Hannah isn't an easy type to fool with. Even though I have little knowledge about her, you gotta

remember she's scheming enough to put your sister in prison. And don't forget about what happened to

Charles. All of these just happened not long ago. Don't underestimate her." Rowan still stayed alert.

"What happened to Sarah is a different case. At that time, Sarah was infringing upon Hannah's interest.

But now I am trying to help her out. There's no better alternative than my aid. Besides, I have the

justified reason-she is now kept as a mistress of Oscar. I, as a proud lady from a privileged family,

would deem it the greatest disrespect which I wanna get rid of the most. That's why I believe she will

accept my plan." Said Lillian.

"Even if you have convinced her, how are you gonna help us evade the connection from this when

Oscar grows suspicion." Asked Rowan.

"We may find a scapegoat." Said Lillian frankly.

Upon hearing that, Rowan was stunned. But obviously, that would be the best solution. After Hannah

got killed, a scapegoat would help to bail them out forever.

"So what's gonna be the scapegoat?" asked Rowan expectantly.

"Oscar wouldn't be likely to believe it if we make someone common the scapegoat. After all, an

average person wouldn't have the power to get Hannah away from him. So here's my answer-the

scapegoat has to be my brother." Lillian replied.

"Lillian! He's your brother! Are you gonna risk his life?" Rowan huffed seriously.

"Father, I don't mean to be ungrateful. But that's what we could do to prove that I have nothing to do

with it. Now I mean a lot to the Collins. Father, I bet you should be aware of it…"

"But you can't let your brother take the risk because of you. Lillian, yes, we are a political family and I

know sometimes sacrifice is needed, but you can't make your brother pay such a price. That's our

bottom line!"

"Father, just listen to me. As I just said, I mean a lot to the family right now. As long as I can prove that I

am not involved, Oscar won't retaliate against me. Besides, I will make the baby part of my bargain

chips. If he were to kill my brother, I would stop him at the cost of my baby. He values the baby a lot. If I

were to threaten him at the cost of my life, he wouldn't kill my brother. But perhaps my brother still got a

price to pay."

But Rowan still seemed hesitant.

Lillian then continued, "Father, great success requires sacrifice. I can guarantee that my brother will be

safe. But Hannah has to be eliminated. Now we have confirmed that I am pregnant with a girl. Before

birth, my daughter is the greatest resource we can rely on. After I give birth to the baby, Oscar will take

her away. If that happens, he will have no scruple to plot against us. That's the only opportunity we

have to seize."

"What if he tries to kill your brother as soon as you give birth to the baby?" Rowan was taking

something further into consideration.

"Father, if you are still worried, we can send Mathew abroad to keep him safe. And he can return a few

years later after Oscar dissipates his hatred. I can assure you that I will capture Oscar's heart as soon

as Hannah is dead. When he truly falls for me, there's no need to worry about my brother." Said Lillian

confidently.

Rowan fell into silence.

"Father, we can't afford to miss the chance. I know what concerns you. I don't want Mathew to take the

consequence either. But that's the best we could do. If you find it dangerous, we can indeed resort to

another way. However, after I give birth to the baby, plus the situation that Hannah is still there with

Oscar, it will be a great challenge for me to win his heart."

"Alright, just do as you planned. But I gotta talk to Mathew first." Rowan finally made up his mind.

"Okay. I am going home right now. Let's talk after I return home." Lillian nodded.

As soon as she hung up the call, the smirk on her face widened a great deal. With everyone under her

control, now she only needed to expect the time to come.

The wedding date was announced. There were only ten days left, which meant Hannah should be

leaving this country in ten days.

She contemplated a lot as soon as Lillian left. She was wondering if Lillian would take the chance to kill

her. However, she supposed that Lillian wouldn't be that stupid to take the risk. As far as she was

concerned, Lillian must have reserved a Plan B. Obviously, it was easy to tell how earnestly Hannah

wanted to leave. As long as she could get away from Oscar, she would never return. Thus, from

Lillian's perspective, Hannah's departure shared no differences with her death. However, from

Hannah's perspective, it differed a lot when it came to the possible consequences she was going to

face. She bet Lillian was well aware of that.

Hannah then made a call to her parents to inform them of their departure. Miguel and Michelle

immediately agreed. During these days, the announcement of the wedding between Oscar and Lillian

had gone viral nationwide. As Hannah's parents, they could tell how many grievances Hannah bore. So

they agreed as soon as their daughter mentioned it even if that meant they would never return to this

country. Meanwhile, Hannah's grandma also showed her consent as well.

After getting consent from her family, Hannah now had no scruples. However, she still reserved a bit

attached to this land she had been living in since she was born. She stared at the screen of her phone

for a long. Finally, she dialled a number, "Susan."

"Wow, you call me! What? You miss me?" Susan seemed to be in a good mood.

"Yeah, do you have time tonight? Come here to have dinner with me. I will tell Max to prepare your

favourite dishes." Said Hannah.

"Great. But you gotta wait for a while because I have to work overtime tonight. There's a project to be

confirmed. And I gotta hand it over to Manuel tomorrow morning."

"It's okay. I will wait for you."

"Alright, I will talk to you later. I gotta go now."

"Okay." Hannah hung up the phone, wondering what if she was going to tell Susan that she would be

leaving ten days later and she would never return.

Some mixed feelings surged up in her mind. But soon, she got away from frustration. Then she talked

to Max, "Susan will be here for dinner tonight. Prepare some of her favourite dishes."

"Yes, Ms Cooper." Max nodded.

Then Hannah stood up and walked into her room. As soon as she was about to enter her bedroom, she

suddenly paused and turned to the baby's room which Oscar carefully decorated.

She had never set foot in ever since Max showed her this room that day. As she took a look, tears

welled up in her eyes. She couldn't help thinking about Oscar's reaction after she walked away from his

life.

How would he feel after that if he came to this room once again?Property © .
