Laughter echoed through the room.
Dotson burst into laughter upon seeing the serious look on Dilan’s face. Trent and the rest soon joined him, filling the room with laughter.
Dilan, bewildered by the sudden outburst of laughter, finally pieced together that it was all Hannah’s doing. A bit embarrassed, he scratched his head and asked, “This was your scheme, wasn’t it, boss?”
“Dilan, when have you seen our boss actually resort to violence against us? How could you be so naive? You’re with the Dark Web, after all!”
Hannah grabbed a pillow off the sofa and tossed it at Dotson. “It’s one thing for the rest to laugh, but to laugh at your own brother’s concern? Dilan was genuinely worried for you!”
Hit by the soft pillow, Dotson gave an awkward smile and admitted with a guilty conscience, “Sorry, boss. I just can’t help it.”
“Let’s talk about the real issue here.” Trent looked towards Hannah, asking, “What was the motive behind your staged drama?”
Winston’s face lost its smile, adopting a complicated expression.
“The act was all for my sister.”
Keith was bewildered. “Hold on. Are you telling me this whole act was put on for Alessandra? But for what reason?”
Trent asked immediately, “Is there a problem with Alessandra?”

Despite his reservations, Winston replied with a nod, saying, “Yes, there’s a serious problem with her.”
Keith was still confused. “What’s the problem?”

While rubbing his calf, Dotson glanced at Keith and said, “Keith, has your life of privilege from childhood to now made you clueless? Can’t you see what’s obviously wrong with her?”
Ignoring Dotson, Trent turned to Hannah with curiosity, asking, “Hannah, when did you first become aware that something was off with her?”
“It was probably the moment she begged me to allow her to stay at the villa,” Hannah answered.
It might have been shortly after Hannah rescued Alessandra. Trent pondered, surprised that Hannah had doubts about Alessandra so soon.
“What made you notice?”
Keith chimed in, “That’s exactly what I’m wondering. There doesn’t seem to be anything suspicious about her. Could we be misunderstanding the situation?”
Hannah said to them, “You’re not aware of what happened back then.
But do you remember the day we went to Jade Paradise?”
“Yes, I remember that day. What about it?”
Hannah gestured with her chin towards Winston, prompting him to share the story.
