Chapter 278 Hannah’s Promise
Hannah couldn’t stand Oscar’s provocative manner anymore. She pushed him away with
both hands, turned her face to another side, and spluttered, “Oscar, I’ve really got something to tell
you.”
“What?” Oscar’s face was still very close to hers.
Hannah could even feel his breath on her cheek. This absolutely produced a chemistry
between them.
“Go away from me first.”
Oscar smiled slightly and suddenly kissed her on the cheek. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
“Oscar!” Hannah was tense and her face turned red.
“I can’t help it. I just can’t control myself.” Oscar said with an innocent face.
This was absolutely a trickery!
Luckily, after the kiss, he detached himself from her a little. Hannah secretly adjusted her
emotions.
She said, “Tomorrow is the anniversary celebration of Cooper Group, and there will be a lot guests. Will
you go with me?”
“What’s your opinion?” Oscar asked a question in return.
“If you have time, go with me. If you don’t, I’ll ask someone else to accompany me.”
“Who do you want to ask to go with you?” Oscar’s face darkened.
“Rose, my secretary!” Hannah was speechless.
A guy instantly calmed down.
He said, “I have free time tomorrow.” He was saying he would go with her.
“Then let’s go to choose evening dress tomorrow afternoon. I’ve asked the staff of Celina to prepare
high-end clothes.”
“Fine.” Oscar agreed.
Max came over and told them that dinner was ready. The two of them then sat at the dining table and
ate quietly.
It had to be admitted that Hannah was really hungry since she ate quite a lot. And she was very fond of
the food. As she ate, she suddenly frowned a little.
She looked up at Oscar and asked, “Why are you staring at me like this?”
“You look pretty.”
“Idiot.” Hannah said in a low voice.
“Aren’t you going to ask me what I’ve been doing these days?” Oscar suddenly asked.
So Hannah asked casually, “What are you doing recently?”
“I’m busy preparing to get a promotion.” Oscar answered.
Hannah’s facial expression obviously changed slightly.
“It’s the very first time that a promotion opportunity is offered to newcomers. They claim that the target
is to cultivate young leaders. Once getting the promotion, one will rise through three ranks, and be
directly promoted to be a senior official in the City Hall.”
Hannah did not make any comments. She was thinking about her previous life.
In her former life, Charles rose from an official to a senior official in the City Hall. Then in the following
several years, he continued to rise through the ranks. He almost gained a promotion every year, rising
at an astonishing rate.
As for whether or not he was finally promoted to a Minister, she did not know.
All she knew was that while Charles was rising through the ranks at a crazily fast speed, Oscar made
silent efforts and followed closely. In the end, he even became Charles’s only competitor for the
position of a Minister.
But she guessed that Oscar would narrowly lose to Charles.
After all, Charles was a despicable man and had become the husband of Sarah Collins, a young lady
from an aristocratic family, with the wealth of Hannah’s family as a gift. This, undoubtedly had opened
up a great backdoor for him.
But in this present life, she would absolutely not let Charles succeed.
“How’s your preparations?” Hannah asked.
Oscar replied, “Pretty good, but I might not be able to get what I want.”
So Oscar also knew that Charles would play dirty tricks?
“Of the two aristocratic families in Northfield, which one do you think you should work with?”
“What do you think?” Oscar asked a question in return.
“The Balderston family.” Hannah directly answered, dropping the words one by one.
“But the Collins family seems to be doing better in recent years.” Oscar was doubtful about
1. it.
“The Collins family likes Charles better.”
“You seem to know a lot?” Oscar furrowed.
“If you want to have a promising future in politics, work with the Balderston family.” Hannah did not
explain, but just put forward her own suggestion.
Oscar stared at her with doubt.
“The two aristocratic families support each other for mutual benefits, but at the same time, there are
checks and balances and secret competition between them. These the
years, Collins family does outperform the Balderston family. Many people who hold important
positions in Northfield are loyal to the Collins family. If this goes on for a long time, the Balderston
family will be highly likely to be swallowed up by the Collins family.”
Oscar remained silent.
Maybe he was wondering why a woman who hadn’t had much contact with the outside world before
would know these things.
It was true that she did well in business. But business and politics were two different worlds. Even the
four strong powers did not know much about the relationship between the aristocratic families. The
relationship between the aristocratic families was too complicated. It was impossible for people who
weren’t from the aristocratic families to sort
it out.
But Hannah had made a convincing analysis just now.
“My analysis isn’t groundless.” Oscar’s silence did not trigger mood swings in Hannah. She just went
on, “A century ago, the aristocratic families were just helping the royal Wells family to manage the
Northfield. As the royal Wells family gave the aristocratic families too much power because of their trust
in them, the aristocratic families became ambitious and allied with each other to rebel, then
exterminating the royal Wells family and ruling the country together. They had reached a secret
agreement that they would never fight each other. However, five years ago, the Balderston family took
the initiative to make a marriage proposal and was rejected by the Collins family. The tension between
the two aristocratic families has been surfacing since then. In addition, in the past three years, the
Collins family has been secretly drawing talents to their side. The competition seems to be fair, but in
fact, the important positions are all taken up by people loyal to the Collins family. In this way, the Collins
family is getting more and more powerful in Northfield. Once it comes to a point
where…”
Hannah paused.
Oscar had been looking at her.
“The Collins family will destroy the Balderston family, just like what they did to the royal Wells family in
the past.” Hannah made her point clear.
Oscar’s Adam’s apple moved slightly. He asked, “In which universe did the Collins family refuse the
marriage proposal made by the Balderston family? In which universe are all the important positions
taken up by people loyal to the Collins family?!”
Hannah pursed her lips. What she just said were the facts that only existed a decade later. In other
words, what she said had not happened yet. Exactly, the important point was that those things had not
happened yet.
Since Charles chose to take sides with the Collins family, the best option for Oscar would be to go to
the Balderston family, working with the Balderston family to keep the Collins family in check and then
destroying them or maintaining the current state of the two families ruling the country together. The
Collins family must not be allowed to grow more powerful. Besides, Charles must be prevented from
getting a high status in the Collins family!
Otherwise, she would have the same ending as in her last life.
“That’s all I can tell you now.” Hannah was not going to explain.
Because even if she explained, no one would believe her. If she said she had been reborn, others
might probably consider her crazy. But she had a feeling that Oscar would listen to her. Her sixth sense
told her that Oscar would accept her suggestion.
“Alright, I’ll work with the Balderston family.” Oscar agreed.
It was within Hannah’s expectations. But she was still shocked. It must be noticed that once he took the
wrong side, his life would be ruined.
But Oscar agreed so easily, without any hesitation.
Hannah spoke, “Oscar, I don’t know who’s behind you or who you are. But I’ve promised to help you
win a bright future, and I’ll certainly make it!”
