Chapter 944 Hannah's Persuasion
"I don't want it." Theodore was deeply moved. The overwhelming emotion made him almost unable to
bear it.
"That's yours, I won't take it. I can accompany you for a lifetime to guard this empire, but I won't accept
you as an empty-handed boss." Theodore refused repeatedly.
"If I can come back alive, I will fulfil my duty. But if I cannot come back alive."
Even though Theodore tried his best to hold back, at this moment, he was crying like a child and
couldn't control his tears anymore. The memory of how Theodore used to cry as this came back-it was
when they were children and had suffered many physical tortures due to cruel training. Little Theodore
would be scared and unable to bear it and would cry out loud. As they grew up slowly together, they
seemed not to cry anymore.
He said solemnly, "I entrust the Wells family's empire with you."
"I'm going!" Theodore exclaimed excitedly and loudly, "Let me go! I swear that if Hannah or Una is not
rescued or anyone gets hurt among them both then there is no way that I will return alive!"
Oscar never doubted the sincerity of Theodore's words. He just didn't want him to shoulder their family
grievances alone. Theodore had already paid enough as a member of the Wold family for the Wells
family.
"Theodore, you still have relatives."
Theodore felt a tremor in his heart instantly. For a moment he thought about his father, Laird Wold, who
was indeed getting old now. The last time he saw his father, he saw how old Laird had become, older
than ever before. His father aged more every day.
"Your father, your wife, your son..." Oscar continued speaking softly in order not to upset him too much
with these thoughts on top of everything else going on right now.
At that moment, Theodore remembered that he had married already, Little Bunny and he had a son All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
named Nicholas. He almost forgot about them because being apart from each other most time made
their bond weaker over time. But being reminded by Oscar, the memory of Nicholas' face made it hurt
inside.
"This is my mission, they will understand." Said Theodore.
"You don't have to. Theodore, cherish and protect your family."
He didn't want Theodore to make the same mistakes as he had done, where he lost everyone. He
thought he had been living his whole life for the Wells family, for his loved ones. But one by one, they
died in front of him.
"Oscar..."
"This is an order!" Oscar's tone was cold.
Theodore looked at him with teary eyes. They had been like brothers after so many years together, but
this was the first time Oscar had given him a command based on their positions. Theodore tried to
control his emotions and not break down completely, as he watched Oscar give him a deep look before
turning away from him with a cold and resolute back view.
Theodore clenched his fists and watched as Oscar walked towards the ship without looking back once.
He wanted to stop him in any way possible, even if it meant using brutal force or attacking him from
behind, but he knew that would only make things worse between them.
He couldn't bear to see any harm come to those who were most important to him-if anything happened
to them because of what he did or didn't do now, there would be no forgiveness for himself.
On the coast stood a lonely yacht surrounded by large ships that quickly closed in on it from all sides.
Lillian knew she would be trapped as soon as she appeared. At the thought of it, she felt suffocated
and helpless. How much effort did Oscar put into trying to kill her?
She glared at all the ships around her that were waiting for orders from Oscar. Orders would turn them
into ashes just like Mathew.
Lillian felt close to breaking point mentally and physically capable of doing extreme things out of
desperation.
Hannah suddenly spoke up, "Oscar hasn't acted yet. What does that mean?"
Lillian looked over at Hannah with bloodshot eyes, while holding onto her trembling gun tightly.
"Oscar still has reservations." Hannah reminded her.
"You mean he can't bear to see you die?!" Lillian retorted coldly, her tone dripping with sarcasm and
anger.
"It's not just me, it's also Una," Hannah replied bluntly.
"He doesn't care about Una at all!" Lillian screamed in a fit of rage.
Her sudden outburst made Una tremble in her arms, but she didn't cry. She simply looked at her
mother with fear and innocence in her eyes.
Lillian couldn't help but feel the pain in her heart. She wanted nothing more than to give Una a happy
home and a carefree environment to grow up in. But she had nothing now; she couldn't even take care
of herself, let alone Una.
The cruelty in her eyes grew more pronounced by the second.
"There are many ways to verify whether Oscar cares about Una or not, you don't have to use Una's
death as revenge," Hannah said urgently.
Lillian's lack of control made Hannah feel anxious.
"So... what do you suggest?" Lillian asked sarcastically.
"Oscar will come soon. If he doesn't come here, we'll both be dead by now." Hannah said confidently.
At that instant, it seemed like she had been convinced by Hannah.
"When he comes, ask him to come alone on the yacht. As long as he comes alone without any backup
plans or precautions taken beforehand, that means he is willing to face danger for someone here who
matters, whether it's me or Una. So you can use this as leverage against Oscar!"
"And then what?"
"If there is a chance for Una not to die and live well instead, would you choose her death?"
Lilian hesitated; she didn't want that outcome either. She wanted a future for Una but felt like it was
impossible. And given the choice between dying together with Una or letting Una live an unfulfilled life,
she would choose the former unless Una could be the special one in the country, a noble princess of
the Wells family.
"If you don't want that outcome then give Una a chance."
