After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 839

Chapter 839 The Collins’ Plot

"I've tried," said Rowan, "but couldn't find out the gender of Hannah's baby. Probably, Oscar has blocked the news. I can't take the chance and act rashly, otherwise, we'll alert Oscar. He is so smart that he can figure out what we're gonna do next once we make a single move."

Rowan looked like shit. For all time, he thought the Balderston family was his only rival. It turned out that Oscar had wrapped him around his little finger. He felt bad when thinking of it.

Undoubtedly, Lilian knew it as well, and she must keep up appearances in front of Oscar. She must act to be a kind and thoughtful girl, who wasn't jealous of Hannah at all. But she had started to freak out since she knew she was carrying a girl. In the one-thousand-year history of Northfield, there had never been a female commander. If she was pregnant with a girl, that meant her child couldn't inherit the throne. If Hannah happened to carry a boy, the result couldn't be more obvious.

"Father, we must get rid of Hannah's baby." Snapped Lilian.

Rowan stared at her, waiting for her to go on.

"All we want is to take back the throne and power. We've planned to achieve our purpose with the baby, but it won't work any more. So, we must figure out another way."

"But it's a tough job for us to take down Oscar. Now we are in a stalemate, and neither of us dares act rashly. I guess this situation will last for a long. Whoever dares take action now will end up no good. It's a balance point for us, just like what we did with the Balderston family. It took nearly one hundred years to break the stalemate, and it'll also be a long fight with Oscar. "

By then, they might have been dead.

"That's why we can't keep Hannah's baby. The stalemate will be broken sooner if Oscar doesn't have an heir. Then we can take back the throne without a battle." Said Lilian in ferocity.

"Can't agree more. But have you considered that Hannah could have more kids if she lost this one?"

Lilian pursed her lips.

"It's easy for Oscar to have an heir." Said Rowan.

"Right. But I must be the mother of his heirs." Said Lilian furiously.

Rowan looked at her.

"So, to be more exact, we can't keep Hannah and her baby."

"Lilian, think twice." Rowan was more experienced and gave it a second thought, "We've made a deal with Oscar. Oscar won't spare us if we betray him. As far as I know him, he'll start a civil war for Hannah if we hurt her. Well, we can't afford to take it."

"He'll never know we do it!" said Lilian evilly.

"It's impossible to keep anything from Oscar in Northfield. And, he's protecting Hannah so well that we can't find a chance to do it." Rowan frowned and said.

"So, I'm on it." Lilian smiled coldly.

Rowan was surprised.

"As long as I've won Oscar's trust," said Lilian, "he won't be suspicious of me. Father, I've got the plan. Just back me up."

Rowan wasn't sure of it.

She stayed poised, hid her feelings, and said with a smile, "I heard you're back."

"What's the matter?" said Oscar lightly. He was always neither cold nor hot to her.

"Oh, nothing much. I just want you to check the baby's examination report." She said and put the report on his desk, "I guess you might want to know. Here it is. The doc said it's all good."

Oscar stopped going through the documents and concentrated on the report. He picked it up and started reading it in silence.

Theodore came over from one side and read the report out of curiosity, "Oh, this is Cian's..."

Oscar glared at him sharply. Theodore pursed his lips and got the hint. He mustn't speak it out although it was an open secret. What was the point of it?

"How time flies. It's been 16 weeks. I'm having a baby bump." Lilian said and stuck out her belly.

Oscar and Theodore looked towards her and saw her belly had stuck out.

"Take better care of yourself." Said Oscar.

"OK, I will." Lilian nodded obediently.
