Edwin began to whine, “You are my sister, aren’t you? If you won’t help me, who will?”
Hannah closed her eyes and pressed her fingers against her temples.
“Technically, I am your cousin.”
Undeterred, Edwin clung to Hannah’s arm and shook it.
“You’re the only one who can help me with this. I can’t possibly go to Grandpa and ask him to deal with it. I mean, the Garzas are a powerful family. We might be able to go against them, but I don’t want to burden Grandpa with such childish matters.”

Hannah was quite taken aback by what she was reading. She put the contract down and made a call.
“Hannah! So, you finally remembered to call me, huh?”
The hearty voice from the other side made Hannah crack a helpless smile.
“Hello, Mr. Campbell. I’m actually calling about the medical equipment project. I understand if you couldn’t find a suitable supplier in Valmere, but why would you want to partner up with the White Group?”
