He was the patriarch of the Holmes family.
Bowen looked smart in his sharp suit, and his hair was on point. You couldn’t tell how old he was at all.
It appeared Bowen noticed Hannah’s look. Upon entering, he directed his gaze toward her.
When he spotted Hannah, he approached and greeted her, “Miss Moore.”

“Hello, Mr. Holmes.”
“I know your father. No need for formalities; just call me uncle,”
Bowen offered warmly.
Hannah nodded in agreement. “Uncle Bowen.”
Bowen nodded. He waved to the people behind him and requested their help with something. Then he took a seat on the bench.
“How did you two end up in trouble with the Bloody Gang?”
Hannah responded with a partial truth, “It’s because of what happened at Jade Paradise. They lost their income source and came after me. Bryson got involved trying to help me.”
Bowen crossed his legs, looked up at Hannah thoughtfully, and said, “I heard you were the one who exposed the Jade Paradise affair.”
“Yes, I called the police.”
“I’m not concerned with the Compton family’s internal affairs, but Bryson must not come to harm,” Bowen cautioned Hannah.
She was about to respond with a smile when Oswald, sitting beside her, interrupted, “I’ve been holding back for too long. I just can’t keep silent anymore.”
Oswald cared a lot about Hannah. He turned to Bowen, sitting beside him, and said, “I was really touched when Hannah’s friend showed up to help her. But why does it seem like you’re trying to impose your values on her? Hannah is a victim here, too. Are you suggesting this is somehow her fault? If you’re so concerned about Bryson, why not just keep him indoors to ensure he stays out of trouble?”
Oswald was visibly upset, losing his composure.
Sensing the tension escalating, Hannah quickly stepped in to mediate.
“Please, no arguments.”
Both Oswald and Bowen act out of a desire to protect-Oswald for Hannah and Bowen for Bryson. Any further confrontation at the police station would be embarrassing.
Just then, Bryson was escorted out.
He strolled out at a leisurely pace, appearing completely unaffected.
Bryson approached them, his eyes fixed on Bowen. “What’s the reason for your visit?”
Seeing Bryson was okay, Bowen stood up and left without saying.
