Chapter 1185 One Last Request
At the romantic and beautiful restaurant, Hannah remained silent. She couldn't promise anything. With
time passing by, she could forget the past and start anew with him without any grudges. But she was
afraid that she had never been able to get over it, causing harm again.
"Hannah, not now or at any specific time, as long as you don't disappear again." Oscar's magnetic
voice was cautious and full of deep affection.
How humble he must be to say that all he wanted was for her not to disappear again! Hannah's heart
trembled. Indeed, she was touched by him. But she had too many concerns. Having experienced life
twice through rebirth and death, both times deeply wounded by love, she dared not let down her guard.
Hannah's silence was actually the best answer for Oscar. All he wanted was for her to stay by his side;
nothing more could be asked for.
The two of them ate dinner together in silence but with an inexplicable understanding between them.
During dinner, Oscar's phone rang with a message alert sound. He picked it up like always since no
work-related messages should go unnoticed under his current position as a leader.
But when he looked at it this time around, his face changed suddenly. Hannah could see the emotional
fluctuations on his face clearly even though someone in his position should remain calm under such
circumstances.
"What happened?" Hannah put down her knife and fork and asked concernedly.
"Theodore is in trouble." Oscar said slowly while looking at Hannah.
Hannah froze upon hearing this news. No wonder Oscar's expression changed so drastically.
"What happened?" She asked worriedly
"Somebody reported him for abusing private power." Oscar didn't hide anything from her.
"No way!" Hannah found it hard to believe. "Theodore may seem careless but when it comes to
important matters he wouldn't mess things up."
"I thought so too but since Little Bunny is involved... I think Theodore might do something
foolish."Oscar said.
"So how do we solve this? How will you solve this?" asked she.
Since someone already reported Theodore's actions to Oscar first-hand, what happened could
potentially be kept confidential instead of being made public knowledge. However, since Oscar was the
leader of the country, he couldn't bend the law just because of personal relationships.
Oscar shook his head indicating that he hadn't figured out how yet. He glanced at the plate in front of
Hannah and asked, "Have you finished eating?"
Hannah nodded quickly.
Oscar was aware that he needed to hurry back to deal with Theodore's matter. He stood up and said,
"I'll take you back." Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
"It's okay, go back to the capital and handle things."
"Don't worry."
"Oscar,"
"Rest assured, I have discretion." Oscar smiled. His smile was so irresistible that it was hard to say no
to him.
Oscar drove Hannah back to the Cooper Manor. After watching Hannah enter the gate, he turned
around and left. At the same time, he picked up his phone and dialed a number. His expression didn't
relax a bit.
"Theodore."
"Hmm."
"Where?"
"I knew you would come back to me, so I am in your office." Theodore said, sounding more relaxed
than Oscar.
"Wait for me."
"Okay."
Theodore puts down his phone.
Putting down the phone, the smile at the corner of Theodore's mouth sank. In the end, some things
couldn't be covered up. He thought he could do it flawlessly. With so many eyes watching him, the
higher his position and authority, the harder it was to conceal. He just sat in Oscar's office, waiting.
After more than 2 hours, Oscar returned. It was already dawn. Apart from the stationed guards, there
was only Theodore in the entire office building. He turned around upon hearing hurried footsteps.
Oscar went straight back to his office chair, took off his suit jacket and got straight to the point, "What's
going on?"
Theodore did not conceal anything from him. At this point, even though it was difficult to say, he still
spoke out.
After Theodore talked for a long time, there was still silence. Theodore also didn't know what Oscar
was thinking about. Perhaps, he was in a dilemma. But there was no need to worry about it. After being
reported by someone using their real name, he made all the necessary preparations. There was no
room for turning back in this matter. Oscar was very strict and always followed the rules. Otherwise, it
would be impossible to convince people.
"Sorry, Oscar, I disappointed you." Theodore said with a hint of sarcasm.
Oscar looked at him, who seemed to have a nonchalant attitude. Having grown up together with
Theodore, Oscar knew exactly what kind of person Theodore was. The more he appeared to be
indifferent, the harder it was for him in his heart.
"You never disappoint me, from out teenage until now."
Theodore's eyes immediately turned red. The feeling of being affirmed and trusted by a friend like this
was so great. He was not afraid of legal sanctions for doing such a thing, what he feared most was
Oscar's disappointment in him.
He said, "I'll turn myself in."
"Theodore." Oscar's brow furrowed.
"Listen to me," Theodore interrupted him, "Since you didn't know that before, I thought, just carry my
filth for a lifetime, and didn't want to tarnish you. In fact, my dad knew about it. When he learned about
the case about Addison at that time. The last time my dad beat me up, it was my dad's punishment.
And the reason why my dad didn't report me was because I used you as a shield and convinced my
dad. Now that you know, there's no reason for me to resist."
Oscar silently looked at Theodore.
"Although it has not been exposed yet, the internal must have already known. If you let me go, I will
truly be harming you. In fact, there are still many people who have opinions about us and want to catch
us with evidence. I don't want to become the eternal sinner who destroys what the Wells family has
built up. Moreover, if I make a mistake and you treat me equally as others, no one will dare to act
recklessly in the future. Punishing one person as an example might actually be a good thing."
Theodore murmured, "So Oscar, don't think about anything else and leave it to the law to judge me. I
have no complaints except for one last request."
Oscar nodded.
"Give me some time, I will explain to Little Bunny." Theodore couldn't let go of her in the end. "She is a
good girl, but I have ruined her. I feel terrible about myself."
