Winston, standing to the side, looked at her skeptically.
He had just astutely observed Hannah’s response. She appeared to be privy to certain information, and when he brought up the name Leviathan, she seemed to light up with recognition.
However, he didn’t probe further and said, “If you’re interested, you could return to the Compton family. The boss would surely entrust you with a leadership role in the organization.”
“Never mind, It’s entertaining to listen to others talk about it. I’d rather steer clear of any involvement.”
Hannah turned around and said, “If you’ve got nothing else to talk about, I’ll head back now.”

As she was about to depart, Winston’s voice reached her from behind.
“I’ve just learned that Queen Elizabeth will be arriving tomorrow.”
Hannah paused and turned back, surprised. “That soon?”
“Well, it’s set to arrive at 7 o’clock tomorrow evening. I’ll escort you to board the cruise ship using the Compton family’s invitation.
“Alright,” Hannah agreed.
On the second day, as Hannah rose early, she intended to fetch something needed for the trip.
Out of the blue, Hannah’s phone rang, and it was Jalen on the Line, his voice tinged with a touch of unease. “Hannah, I’m hosting an art exhibition tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow?” Hannah frowned at the timing.
Pausing briefly, Hannah conveyed to Jalen on the other end of the line, “Jalen, I’ve got something to handle tomorrow, so I won’t be able to make it to your art exhibition. Perhaps next time.”
Upon learning that Hannah couldn’t make it to the art exhibition due to prior commitments, Jalen, on the opposite end of the conversation, let out a sigh of relief and said, “It’s alright. Regarding the art exhibition… There will be plenty of chances to join in.”
“Jalen, are you keeping something from me?” Sensing something amiss in Jalen’s tone, Hannah inquired, “Why does it seem like you’re breathing easier when I mention I won’t make it to your art exhibition?”
“Don’t overthink it,” Jalen hastily denied.

But his denial only made Hannah confirm her suspicions. She said softly, “Jalen, if you’re facing any trouble, you can tell me. I’ll help you sort it out.”
“No… I still get nervous every time I host an art exhibition. But don’t fret about me.”
Understanding that Jalen was reluctant to share more, Hannah decided not to push further. “Alright. If you need anything, just let me know.”
“Alright, carry on with your tasks… Your priority should be to search for the person you’re seeking. My art exhibition isn’t a big deal. We can discuss it once you locate them.”
“Okay.” After ending the call, Hannah gazed at her phone screen, lost in contemplation.
She had a hunch that Jalen wasn’t being completely honest with her, and the situation appeared somewhat complicated. Jalen seemed reluctant to divulge the reason, which appeared to have a connection to the art exhibition…
While Hannah was lost in her thoughts, her phone buzzed with a call from an unknown number.
