Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth

Chapter 939

Chapter 939 The Most Worrisome Thing

Oscar was on high alert in the heavily guarded castle in the Capital. There were many guards and

reconnaissance troops, all of whom were working around the clock to find Lillian's whereabouts. Oscar

had been watching the surveillance footage but had not found any leads after two days of searching.

However, he knew that Lillian was skilled at evading detection because she had easily discovered Una

Wells' micro-tracking device.

"Commander," said the leader of the guard troops, unable to bear seeing Oscar work tirelessly without

rest, "you should take a break."

It had been two days since they started their search, and Oscar hadn't slept a wink. While everyone

else took turns working, he refused to take a nap even once. He shook his head and continued Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

scrutinizing every bit of surveillance footage they collected.

"Where's Theodore?" he suddenly asked when it seemed like it had been a while since anyone saw

him.

"Captain left the castle this morning and hasn't returned yet." Reported one of the guards.

Oscar nodded absentmindedly. His intense workload made it difficult for him to concentrate fully on

anything else but staying awake and alert at all times. He firmly believed that no matter how good

Lillian was at avoiding detection, as long as she existed somewhere within their reach, they would

eventually find her trail. It was only a matter of time before they did so.

He remained focused until Theodore returned moments later with an expression so grave that even

though everyone noticed him walking towards them with heavy steps like someone carrying an

enormous weight on his shoulders. Nobody dared to interrupt whatever thoughts occupied him then or

ask what happened until he reached where Oscar sat engrossed in watching more video feeds.

"Commander has been looking for you." Said one guard who rushed over immediately upon seeing

Theodore enter through those doors.

Theodore sat down beside Oscar, who continued watching intently without acknowledging Theodore's

presence initially. Theodore appeared unusually distracted by something weighing heavily upon his

mind. Ever since Lillian disappeared along with Una Wells under their noses, he had never appeared

like this.

"Oscar." Theodore finally uttered after a long while of hesitation.

"Hmm?"

Oscar thought Theodore was about to persuade him into getting some rest.

"Hannah..." Theodore paused hesitantly.

This name did agitate Oscar at that moment. However, Oscar didn't change his cold face.

"... is back." Theodore finished his words, which shocked Oscar.

He turned to look at Theodore, finally noticing that his demeanour was different from usual.

"Hannah is back in the Capital. I brought her back." Theodore confessed all.

Though that was unexpected news for him, he knew Theodore's intention. Theodore was afraid he

could not face it because of Una Wells, so he brought Hannah to his side. Oscar understood that.

Moreover, that meant Theodore had prepared for the worst. And so had he. However, he believed that

Lillian wouldn't have died so easily without contacting him one last time before her death. She couldn't

have died in such misery without giving herself a chance to vent. And now she was avoiding him just

short of going too far. So there was still hope.

"But I lost her," Theodore murmured with a hint of disappointment in his tone.

Oscar's face suddenly changed as he stared intently at Theodore with eyes that were previously tired

but now focused and somewhat intimidating.

Theodore knew Oscar would be angry, but he didn't expect Hannah would play him like this. His voice

trembled as he explained, "I've sent people out looking for her, but they haven't found her yet."

All Theodore could think about right now was that Hannah left because she didn't want to see Oscar

again. He thought Oscar's anger stemmed from the fact that Hannah wouldn't forgive him anymore.

Theodore wasn't planning on telling him any of this initiative since keeping secrets always made him

feel restless and anxious like ants crawling all over his body

Just as Oscar was about to speak up, someone interrupted them, "Commander! We've received a

signal source from Madam's phone."

Oscar paused briefly before quickly getting up and rushing over, while equally nervous-looking

Theodore followed behind closely.

"The signal just returned from the base station." The reconnaissance soldier continued explaining,

"Madam's phone has been used under this base station."

"Lock down the location and send someone over there immediately!" Theodore ordered the guards

beside him.

"Yes, sir." The guards quickly arranged.

Oscar, however, remained silent. Ever since Lillian had lured them away from her last time, he knew

that she wouldn't be waiting for them in the same place.

"What did she do after turning on her phone?" Oscar asked.

The reconnaissance team quickly checked and confirmed, "It seems like she only received a

message."

"Retrieve all messages received on her phone!"

"Understood."

Ten minutes later, the reconnaissance team fed back all information they had retrieved. Most of it was

messages sent by Oscar to Lillian, except for one message.

Oscar's face visibly changed as his voice trembled. He commanded, "Retrieve all information related to

the phone number of that last message, RIGHT NOW!"

"Yes."

Five minutes passed.

"Commander, it's a new card sold to a woman in her twenties around 6 pm at X Store."

"Retrieve surveillance footage from that store!" Oscar's voice sounded anxious and even trembling

slightly now.

From when Lillian disappeared before his eyes until now, this was only the second time Oscar had

panicked so much. But at this moment, he seemed even more flustered than before.

Theodore could sense something was wrong but didn't understand what could have happened to make

Oscar so agitated.

After some time passed, the surveillance footage appeared before them. A familiar figure appeared on

the screen, which caused an intense shock through Oscar's heart.

It was Hannah. She contacted Lillian Collins.

When Theodore mentioned earlier about Hannah coming back and going missing, Oscar had an

ominous feeling about what might happen next. Now he felt almost certain that Hannah would do

something.

The reason for her to come back was not to accompany Oscar but to negotiate with Lillian. She

intended to save Una Wells herself.

Hannah knew very well how much hatred Lillian held towards her. And because of the hatred, there

was a high chance they would meet again.

Oscar's eyes turned red with exhaustion as blood vessels filled up inside his eyelids. Finally, what he

feared most had happened.
