“You’re being way too laid-back. It’s not cool!” Wallace sank into the sofa, eyeing Hannah. “I got your back in front of everyone but you shouldn’t have snagged that seat today! We’re at the Lyons family’s place. Stirring the pot Like that here is a risky move!”
Hannah seemed distracted, scanning the room, not really hearing Wallace.
The spy cam had been hidden masterfully. Even after a thorough search, Hannah couldn’t spot it.
Wallace’s voice broke through again. “Are you even listening?”
“Yeah, got it,” Hannah responded lazily. “I’m just being real here.
If they want to throw shade over this, they’re being petty.”
Even Wallace couldn’t hide his frustration at Hannah’s nonchalant attitude. “You might not know these folks, but I do! Poking the bear here is like playing with fire!”
Hannah flashed a grin at Wallace. “Dad, you’ve been around the block in the business world. Seen all sorts of scenarios. You scared this time?”
The conversation between Hannah and Wallace got captured by a sneaky pinhole camera.
Over in the control room, Remington watched calmly. He wasn’t surprised by Hannah’s audacity.
Hannah was always a wild card, caring little for others’ opinions.

She was his most valuable player.
When someone switched the surveillance to Hannah’s room, they found the screen black.
“Mr. Lyons, we’ve got a glitch!”
Then they retrieved the footage.
The last thing they saw was Hannah pulling out the pinhole camera from a book!
Remington’s eyes narrowed. “Check the other rooms. See if anyone else found something.”
After a thorough sweep, the monitor operator reported, “Only this lady caught it.”
“She’s sharp, no doubt.”
Remington arched an eyebrow, not fazed by it. If anything, he found himself more intrigued by Hannah.
Well, the pinhole camera had been discovered. Even if they set up another, it’d be useless now. Remington ordered, “Keep an eye on the others. There’s no need to watch her room anymore.”
“Got it, Mr. Lyons.”
After the scolding in Wallace’s room, Hannah was dismissed. She went back to her room.
The night draped the manor completely, making it hard to see beyond the shadows outside.
