Just as Trent was debating whether to inform their father, Hannah took a seat behind him and said in a deliberate tone, “You two, don’t go behind my back and tell Wallace about this, or I’ll be upset.”
The two sitting in front of her instantly broke into a cold sweat!
Keith quickly affirmed his loyalty. “That’s out of the question. How could we even consider informing Father? Hannah, as long as you keep this quiet, no fifth person will learn about it. Right?”
Trent nodded in agreement. “Absolutely, Hannah. We’re all with you.”
Behind them, Hannah smiled. “Good.”
The pair in front exchanged looks, aware they couldn’t afford to upset Hannah at that moment.

They returned to the Compton family’s home after spending four or five days at the Lyons’s villa.
Upon entering her villa, Hannah was met by Winston, who looked troubled. “Miss Moore, my sister has disappeared! She was gone shortly after you left. I’ve searched for days but still no sign of her!”
Hannah witnessed Winston’s panic for the first time. Observing this, Keith and Trent exchanged knowing smiles.
Hannah was direct. “She’s here,” she announced, lifting her hand to signal Alessandra, who walked forward, her head bowed.
Winston, taken aback, hadn’t anticipated Alessandra would come with Hannah. He stammered, “What… what’s happening?”
“Let’s sit down and talk,” Hannah suggested.
They moved to the sofa. Winston, now calm, was told the events from a few days ago.
His face expressionless, he fixed a stern gaze on Alessandra. “How could you do such a thing?”
Alessandra, intimidated by Winston’s stern tone, took refuge behind Hannah and stammered, “I know I messed up! Really!”
“It’s all behind us now. There’s no need to scold her further. But…”
Hannah suggested. “It’s time for you to take Alessandra away. The police won’t hold Amelie at the station much longer. They can only cause her a bit of trouble. If she returns, she definitely won’t spare Alessandra. And keeping her with us will only bring more issues.”
Winston nodded emphatically. “I understand, Miss Moore. I also wanted to thank you for releasing my sister for my sake.”
“Don’t mention it. It’s better you thank Roland than me. Luckily, he woke up with nothing serious. Given that I treated him in time, he turned a blind eye and allowed me to bring Alessandra back.”
After she finished speaking, Hannah turned to Winston. “Do you have a safe place to house her?”
“Yes.” Winston nodded. “There’s a safe spot over there, thanks to my friends. Madam won’t find it, that’s for sure.”
“Okay.” Hannah gave a nod. “I’ll give you a few days off. You can return after sorting out your sister’s matters.”
After expressing his gratitude to Hannah, Winston quickly left with Alessandra.
Once the issue was resolved, Hannah turned to the two men beside her and announced, “We can rest for a few days. We’ll need to handle the affairs of Jade Paradise soon. It’s going to be busy.”
