“Grandma cared about you the most. Do you want to stress her out so much when the news reaches her that she ends up in the hospital?”
Hannah, who had been expressionless, grew distant when she heard Declan trying to use Allison to manipulate her.
“Declan! I warn you against using Allison as a bargaining chip. She’s your grandmother, and you’d like to see her in the hospital?
Over the phone, Declan’s tone suddenly turned triumphant.
“You’re feeling scared, aren’t you? Let me make it clear. If anything happens to me, my grandmother won’t be able to handle it.”

Hannah had enough and abruptly ended the call!
Edwin was taken aback. He blinked in confusion at Hannah and inquired, “What happened, Hannah? Who was on the phone?”
Hannah rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache coming on. She said, “Don’t stress about it. Let’s take a break today, sign the contract tomorrow, and head back.”
“What?” Edwin objected, “Hannah, you’re not healed, and you really shouldn’t be moving around too much. Moreover, the Comptons mentioned that you were injured here, and they’ll look after you until you’re fully recovered.”
Hannah gave a slight shake of her head.
“There’s no need for that.”
The more she felt that something was off about the Compton family, the more she wanted to keep her distance from them.
Besides, her back injury, although it looked gruesome, wasn’t too severe. She was aware that it hadn’t affected any vital organs.
“I’m sure of it. We’ll return to Hoijery tomorrow.”
Since Edwin couldn’t convince Hannah to change her mind, he reluctantly agreed, saying, “Alright, I’ll go check the flight for tomorrow.”
“Perfect.”
Despite the situation with Hannah’s injury, the process of the Compton family finalizing the contract signing wasn’t delayed.
This happened without any need for Hannah to step in.

Before she left Beachholt, Hannah didn’t catch another glimpse of Bryson; the word was he’d stay there a bit longer.
Staring out of the plane window at the clouds, Hannah was overwhelmed by emotions.
She had firmly resolved to ignore anything associated with Bryson, whether he was Bryson or Sewell.
Yet, on every occasion, for reasons she couldn’t quite grasp, she closely observed his behavior whenever he showed up.
Even though she wanted to steer clear, Edwin’s continuous updates on Bryson’s life kept pulling her thoughts back to him.
Hannah shook her head and closed her eyes, opting to take a nap to silence the nagging voice next to her.
