“If you’re begging her for cash, at least maintain some dignity! You’re barely recognizable as a White family member!”
At this, Hannah chuckled but held her tongue. She had no interest in engaging with someone as idiotic as Bainbridge.
Jalen tried to reason with Bainbridge, “You’re overthinking things.
Hannah isn’t like that.”
“Overthinking?” Bainbridge retorted, “I believe she’s manipulated both of you into madness!”
“You’re the insane one here,” Hannah countered calmly.
“You lost your mind the moment I returned. What’s wrong? What triggered you? Why not question him about his actions and the company he keeps, instead of blaming me?”
Narrowing her striking eyes, Hannah continued, “I wonder if any of you ‘family’ truly care for him. You claim it’s for his well-being, yet he’s been brawling and skipping school for years, hanging out with rich wastrels, and you turn a blind eye. Is that your idea of his ‘good’?”
Caught off guard, Bainbridge stammered, “Well, that’s men’s business, you see… You…”
“Don’t use men as excuses,” Hannah scoffed.
“If I were as weak as you, I’d be long gone by now. Losers have no right to exist.”
Bainbridge paled and said, “Hannah, how could you say such things?
It’s so offensive!”
Hannah flashed a sly grin.
“Offensive? Didn’t you start this by saying something even more insulting?”
“Why are you even arguing?”

Tinsley and the White family’s butler entered to find the pair arguing in the living room.
“Why can’t you keep it down whenever you’re here!”
“Grandma, it’s her fault! Just look at what she’s done to Edwin.”
Tinsley’s gaze shifted to Edwin, her expression turning grave.
“Explain yourself.”
Fearing his grandmother more than anyone else in the White family, Edwin went over the day’s events in thorough detail.
“If it weren’t for her, I’d probably be at the police station right now.”
Irritated yet amused, Tinsley pointed at Edwin and shook her head.
