Hannah erupted into laughter, peering at Eliana with a grin.
“So, in his eyes, you’re only worth a mere 100 thousand!”
Eliana’s eyes filled with tears. She opened her mouth to object, but Hannah lifted a hand to silence her.
“I’m not one to put a price tag on women.”
Hannah gave her an icy look.
“However, Miss Patel, this time I didn’t have to. You seem to relish it. To each her own, I suppose.”
Swinging her purse over her shoulder, she beamed at Declan and Eliana.
“Expect a summons. I won’t be settling.”
As she walked away, Hannah heard Eliana’s muffled sobs and Declan’s restless voice echoing through the police station.
“Miss Moore.”
Outside the station, Clive intercepted Hannah, offering her a black card.
“Franklyn instructed me to hand this to you personally.”
Hannah looked at the card, shaking her head.
“No need. I won’t be returning anytime soon, so I won’t be needing that.”
“Franklyn insists you take it, Miss Moore! Otherwise, what am I to say to him?”

In a voice barely above a whisper, Clive added, “Also, the Moore family in Aldgate is searching for you. They seem to…”
Hannah’s expression tightened, cutting him off.
“Tell Franklyn to keep that under wraps for now. I don’t want them knowing about my time in Valmere.”
“Don’t worry, Miss Moore. Franklyn already told me to be cautious.”
“Thank you.”
Inside Brayden’s car, Hannah idly flipped the black card between her fingers, lost in thought.
Reflecting on Clive’s words, her mind was a maze of confusion.
“Brayden, can you take me to the Haywood Racing Car Agency?”
Brayden sensed her unease. At her request, he simply nodded.
