Christy abruptly rose from her seat, inquiring, “Hannah, what were you and Tinsley discussing upstairs?”
“Why should you know?”
Hannah paused, casting a chilly glance at Christy and Johanna.
“It’s none of your concern.”
Johanna’s temper flared. Used to being the center of attention, she couldn’t handle the retort. She abruptly stood, snapping, “You’re here to stake your claim on the inheritance, aren’t you? If you won’t admit it, I’ll say it for you!”
“Inheritance?” Hannah scoffed.
“I plan on curing Grandpa. There will be no inheritance to fight over. You can dismiss that notion right now. As long as I’m breathing, Grandpa will be too.”
After Hannah exited, Johanna sank back into the couch, bewildered.
“What did she mean by that?”
Though Christy had her doubts about Hannah, her certainty wavered.
“Could she really have a way to heal Byrum?”

“If she can actually heal Grandpa, that’s all that matters to me. I don’t care who does it.”
Johanna stared at Bainbridge, incredulous.
“You don’t know what that woman is capable of. You can’t trust her, you know!”

“My grandmother just transferred her White Group shares to me. I now own a 25% stake. I’m the biggest shareholder now.”
Bryson, seemingly unfazed, flipped a page in his document and inquired, “How do you feel about that?”
“I’m not sure…”
Things had spiraled beyond her initial expectations.
When she first arrived in Hoijery, her sole intent was to heal her grandfather. She never anticipated becoming embroiled in White Group’s internal conflicts.
Bryson chuckled, “Don’t worry. I’ve got your back. Maybe you should start showing up at the company. You are a board member now, after all.”
“Yes, but I have more pressing matters at the moment.”
