Chapter 690 Furious Cian
Chapter 690 Furious Cian
"Mr Balderston, you wouldn''t have made a fuss of it if it was of no importance to him." Said Hannah.
Melvin smiled calmly again though he had been seen through.
"I''ll tell you some of his hobbies as well. He loves antique collections. He has got a ton of those stuff at
home but he''s still obsessed with it." Melvin added, "But he''s not into women. I once sent him some hot
chicks but he just kicked them out. Maybe he''s gay."
"So, are you telling me that you''re gonna sell your charm?" asked Hannah.
"Come one, Hannah. Don''t ever think about it!" snorted Melvin.
Melvin continued before Hannah could say anything to retort, "You''ve got no choice. This is the only
way to save yourself. Whether it works or not, it''s up to you."
Hannah pursed her lips and knew she was in no position to negotiate with Melvin.
"Get ready. He''ll be here in half an hour." Melvin said and left.
Hannah looked bad. Melvin meant to make it hard for her. It was like a pie in the sky that she had to
close a deal with a total stranger who wasn''t into women but antiques, and who was going to lose big
money in the deal. She narrowed her eyes and thought she might have met someone like that.
She was confused and sent to the living room half an hourter. She went in and was stunned when
she saw the man sitting there and chatting with Melvin. The man was also surprised to see her but he
remained calm for the next second. Only they could understand how they felt at the time.
Hannah pursed her lips. It turned out to be Cian. How did he get to know Melvin? She thought Oscar
had hidden Cian to keep him from danger. But how did he get involved?
"Hannah, meet Harry, the gentleman I mentioned to you earlier. He''s from Northfield, but he has foreign
nationality." Melvin introduced him briefly.
"Nice to meet you, Mr Harry." Said Hannah calmly.
"Nice to meet you, too, Mrs Wells?" Cian acted to be curious and surprised.
"Well, what Hannah is doing here? You don''t have to dig into it." Said Melvin bluntly.
Clearly, he didn''t want him to get to the bottom of it. Cian got it and didn''t bother to ask. Then he
changed the topic and looked very excited, "When will you show me the new treasure?"
"Already."
"Where?" Cian looked around curiously.
"She''s the treasure, isn''t she?" Melvin pointed to Hannah.
At that moment, Hannah looked very embarrassed.
"Come on, Melvin! We''re old friends and you haven''t yed such jokes on me before. Don''t you think
you went too far?" said Cian sullenly. He meant Melvin had lied to him.
"Don''t be mad. I know you have an interest in women. Neither am I. Otherwise, we couldn''t have hit it
off. " Melvin said leisurely, "It''s a joke. Actually, Hannah has a medieval ruby, which Oscar has given to
her as a present in the auction of Kensbury City. I think you''ll love it."
"You mean the ruby which I once saw in Norbert Antique Shop?" Cian cheered up, "I''ve tried to buy it
but the seller told me it was booked. Later I called the seller and got to know that it has been auctioned
for charity. Then I got busy and forgot about it."
"Hannah has it now." Said Melvin.
"Mrs Wells, could you please show me?" said Cian with expectation.
In despair, Hannah looked at Melvin, who knew she didn''t have the ruby in hand and wondered what
she could do.
"Sorry. I''ve given it to my mother as a present." Apologized Hannah.
Cian looked a little disappointed.
"So, I don''t have it now."
"I can go to your mother''s ce. I just want to take a look at it. It''s been lingering on my mind since I
saw it at the first sight." Suggested Cian.
Hannah looked at Melvin and said nothing.
"Maybe not now." Said Melvin.
"So, you meant to fool me around, right?" Cian appeared unhappy.
"Come on." Melvin patted him on the shoulder, "Forget the antique thing now. We haven''t met in a long
time. Can''t we just enjoy the meal and catch up a little?"
"But you shouldn''t have fooled me!" said Cian angrily.
"Nope. I didn''t fool you. I''ve told you Hannah has a treasure and let you know how to get it. I''ve done
my best, buddy. Don''t you think you should be thankful?" Melvin acted to be mad and said.
Cian got it and said, "OK, thanks."
"Come on. It''s lunchtime. Let''s dig in." Melvin said.
"Thanks for your hospitality," Cian said politely.
The three of them went to the dining room and saw the delicious food that had been served on the

table already.
"Hmm, delicious! It''s been a while. The food is getting better!" Cian ate andmented.
"Not as good as the delicacies in your ce," Melvin said modestly.
"Both of them are great." Cian ate and nced at Hannah, "Mrs Wells, don''t you like it?"
"Sure. It''s great." Hannah put on a light smile. She got a little emotional and didn''t have a good
appetite. She must admit that Cian was much calmer. Finally, she understood why Oscar kept saying
Cian was a better heir. Undoubtedly, Cian was as cool as a cucumber when he was in a pickle, and he
could take lots of pressure.
Melvin gave her a piece of fine codfish, "Have some codfish. Protein is good for the baby."
Hannah was stunned and looked up at him.
"Oh, Mrs Wells, you''re pregnant!" Cian said surprisingly.
"Don''t you read the news?" Melvin gave Hannah the codfish and talked to Cian naturally, "Oscar Wells
has announced the news. Now everyone knows she''s carrying Oscar''s baby."
"Oh, I see. I spend little time reading the news."
Hannah pursed her lips and buried herself in eating the codfish quietly. Thus, she didn''t notice Melvin
smile when he saw her eating it. However, Cian had seen everything.
He remained calm but cursed him harshly in his heart. How dared he flirted with his sister-inw? He
swore that Melvin would pay for it sooner orter!
