Hannah shook her head. Im staying. Ive got an appointment this afternoon and some matters to attend to.
Alright. Saul relented, nodding. Well head back now. Ill keep you informed if anything happens.
Okay.
With that, everyone followed Saul, except for Stella, who remained rooted in place.
Hannah glanced at her, prompting, Is there something on your mind?

Stella paused, her expression troubled. It appeared as though she had something to say, but she struggled to find the words.
ihats the matter? Hannah asked gently.
Actually, I dont hold any hatred towards you.
Hannahs smile widened. You trusted me when it mattered, and I knew you harbored no ill will. Thats just who you are. Theres no need to explain, she reassured warmly.
Hannah gave her a reassuring pat on the shoulder. Saul has great faith in you, and so do I. I know you wont let him down.
Hannah gestured toward the group nearby. You should join them. Theyre waiting for you.
Stellas smile reached her eyes for the first time as she nodded in agreement. Alright.

After seeing them off, Hannah walked alone down Harvile Road.
As soon as she arrived, a black Bentley stopped directly in front of her.
The passenger-side window slid down, revealing Brysons impassive profile.
He turned to Hannah, flashing a bright smile. Please, Miss Moore, step inside.
Hannah hesitated upon witnessing his composed demeanor.
She remained outside the car, resisting his request. Actually, Ive just remembered an urgent matter that requires my attention. Please proceed without me.
Brysons eyes narrowed slightly, a sly smile playing on his lips as he quipped, Should I step out and tether you to the car?
Bryson was perhaps the only one bold enough to utter such words openly.
She held no doubt that Bryson was fully capable of carrying out his joke.
With resolve, she slid into the car, swiftly buckling her seatbelt before declaring, Lets proceed.
Shortly afterward, a message from Scarlett popped up on her phone.
Miss Moore, check out the post on our school forum! Theres been an incident! Below the message were several screenshots from the forum and a brief video clip.
