The man, dressed in a neatly tailored business suit and with his hair perfectly styled, scrutinized the phone. “Mr. Delgado, it seems she’s not interested in continuing this conversation. Perhaps you should try again.”
“You speak with her,” Bagot suggested, waving his hand dismissively.
“If we want to find out who attacked me, she’s our only lead.”
Realizing the conversation had stalled, Hannah was about to exit the chat when a new message appeared.
[I heard that Remington has yet to gather any concrete evidence to arrest those who attacked us. The Juarez family has been exerting pressure on Remington and his family.]

Hannah’s frown was slight but noticeable.
Another message quickly followed. [The Austin family and the Lyons family are locked in a severe dispute over the death of an heir.
Miss Moore, have you seen the latest headlines?]
Her expression grew stern. [I’ve seen them, but I’m not involved, so I haven’t paid much attention. ]
The person on the other end seemed to anticipate her response, replying almost immediately.
[Miss Moore, you previously inquired about the masked man. Surely, you must know something about him, right? I heard from the news that the masked man who attacked me also killed Rhett. Were you aware of that?]
Staring at her phone screen, Hannah suddenly smiled.
[Mr. Delgado, you’re beating around the bush. You’re trying to ask about that man, but I’m sorry to say that even the police are at a loss about his identity, let alone myself.]
The suited man typing for Bagot paused upon seeing Hannah’s message, then reported, “Mr. Delgado, it appears we won’t be able to extract any information from her.”
“Mr. Yates, please test her once more to ensure she isn’t collaborating with Remington.”
Hannah was already irritated that Bagot was testing her, but then another message arrived.
[I apologize, Miss Moore. I had no idea there were cameras all over Remington’s villa, even in our rooms. It’s surprising that we still couldn’t catch him with all that surveillance.]
It was clear that Bagot suspected Remington and Hannah were conspiring to obscure the truth about the attack.
Hannah quickly typed a barrage of replies, her tone less than polite.
[If you truly felt sorry, Mr. Delgado, you wouldn’t have asked such a pointed question.]
[Even 360-degree surveillance cameras didn’t catch the suspect. So, why would you think to question me, of all people?]
[I’ve mentioned that my duty is to aid those in need. Mr. Delgado, do you take that seriously, or do you think I should also be spearheading the investigation? That’s absurd.]
Upon reading the flurry of messages from Hannah, Cowan Yates, Bagot’s lawyer, felt a chill.
He quickly passed the phone back to Bagot, saying, “Mr. Delgado, it seems Miss Moore is quite upset.”
