“Okay.” Hannah stood up and walked upstairs alongside Winston.
Meanwhile, the bodyguards were ushering everyone out one at a time.
Joselyn, unable to hide her frustration, exclaimed, “Mom, she’s showing you no respect at all! She’s just finalized a deal, and look how full of herself she is! I bet she’s the one behind the base explosion. How could she trick Dad like that?”
Seated on the sofa, Amelie had an air of danger about her. She parted her red lips and said to Joselyn, “Relax, we’ve got our backup plan, right? So what if we can’t stop the party? There’s always another way to ruin it. Did you manage to find the person I told you to?”
“Don’t worry, Mom. I got her first thing this morning. I made sure she was well looked after and gave her ten million. Now she’s on our side,” Joselyn confirmed with a nod.
“Good,” Amelie responded, lifting her hand to softly brush Joselyn’s hair. “You’ve messed up a few things before. Make sure this isn’t another one.”
Joselyn shivered, lowering her head in agreement. “I understand, Mom. I won’t disappoint you!”
Meanwhile, in Wallace’s study upstairs…
Winston stood guard outside the door, while Hannah was inside the study alone.
Since returning to the study, Wallace had been busy with work on his computer. The room was filled with the sound of his typing for some time.
Eventually, Wallace broke the silence, catching Hannah’s attention as she idly browsed the bookshelf.

“You’ve got guts! Aren’t you scared that Jeffry’s men might come after you for revenge?”
Hannah faced Wallace without any fear, confidently saying, “I wouldn’t have done it if I was scared.”
Wallace chuckled at her response, a memory flashing through his mind.
“You really… You’re nothing like your mother.”
Hannah’s expression turned cold when he mentioned her mother. “Please, don’t talk about my mother.”
“Understood.” Wallace, sensing a potential argument brewing, swiftly changed the subject. “Let’s drop that topic. Jeffry has the backing of the Hamilton family, and they’re a tough bunch around here.
Starting with illegal activities, they’ve even engaged in human trafficking.”
In a hushed tone, he warned Hannah, “They might not have proof of you breaking any rules, but their people will be at the party in two days. Expect someone to give you a hard time.”
Realizing the upcoming party could be challenging, Hannah lifted her eyebrows and declared confidently, “Well, I’m ready to face them.”
Wallace, clearly doting on his daughter, couldn’t help but smile at her response. “It’s great to see you so confident. You can go ahead.”
After exiting Wallace’s study and closing the door behind her, Hannah let out a deep sigh of relief.
Winston, looking anxious, immediately asked her, “Is everything alright?”
Hannah reassured him. “I’m fine.”
