She was primarily here to delve into the Leviathan mystery, who seemed to have vanished from the organization’s radar.
Leviathan had a knack for escaping tight spots by any means necessary.
His prolonged absence suggested he had gone to great Lengths to remain undetected this time.
“I worry the Lyons family banquet in two days might bring trouble.
With so many family members there, there’s a chance they might target you,” said Trent.
Hannah flashed a confident smile. “No need to worry. The Comptons and Pierces will be there, and Bryson too. I’m curious to see who’d dare cross me. And even without Winston around, I’ve got Dotson. You two are like protective spirits, one on each side. Who could possibly harm me?”

“Winston! I really think Miss Moore was just upset back then. It’s all Faustina’s fault! She’s the one who got Miss Moore into trouble by bringing up the organization’s rules. Miss Moore had no choice but scold you publicly in front of everyone.”
Alessandra grabbed Winston’s sleeve and continued, “Winston, what if I go and talk to Miss Moore? She will understand us!”
Winston looked into Alessandra’s eyes. “Allie, you’ve been wanting to leave this place, right?”
