Upon her return to the Moore estate, a servant led her to the guest room.
“Miss, we’ve set up your room and luggage. The master requests your presence at the hospital early tomorrow.”
Feeling somewhat drained, Hannah replied, “Got it.”
After the servant departed, Hannah unlocked the guest room door. Just as she tried to close it, resistance came from the other side.
Valery burst in, her face stern as she examined Hannah before stepping inside.

“As it stands, I’m more useful to them than their own daughter.
Otherwise, why would I be here? You get it, don’t you?”
Valery’s complexion paled as she retreated.
“So what? You’re just a pawn in their game. What’s there to be proud of?”
Hannah flicked her wrist and shot Valery a teasing grin.
