After sending the rest away, Hannah said to Dilan and Dotson, “There’s no need for you two to stay with me right now. You may head back.”
“Understood, Boss.”
Once they were gone, Hannah made inquiries in the garden and located the house Winston and his sister resided in for now.
She knocked, and after a moment, the door opened.
Winston’s cold demeanor melted upon seeing Hannah. He stepped aside to let her in. “Miss Moore, what brings you here?”
“I’ve come to see your sister.”
Hannah’s gaze landed on the girl huddled on the couch not far away, now dressed appropriately.
The girl sat quietly, her bright eyes still showing signs of fear and distress.
“Don’t worry. Your brother is here to keep you safe, and we’re here for you too. You’re going to be okay.”

Upon hearing Hannah’s words, Winston moved to protect Alessandra.
“Miss Moore, please don’t be upset with her. She’s just frightened.
My sister is still young…”
“Well, you both seem quite terrified.” Hannah released Alessandra’s hand and sat beside her. “I’m not really angry. Sit down, let’s talk about it calmly.”
Once seated, Alessandra explained her situation to Hannah. “Miss Moore, I didn’t mean to pressure you. I felt I had no other choice.
