During this time, Hannah had secured the earliest flight ticket to Valmere.
Upon her return to the White family’s villa, Hannah made her way to Byrum’s study.
When Byrum learned of her imminent departure for Valmere, he furrowed his brows and scrutinized her closely.
“Hannah, do you still resist remaining at the company?”
“No, Grandpa. A friend of mine is facing a crisis in Valmere and I must go to her aid. Rest assured, I’ll return once this matter is resolved.”
Upon hearing her words, Byrum nodded sagely and remarked, “It’s reassuring to know you’ll return. Without you, I fear there would be no one to rein in the wayward Edwin.”
Hannah beamed and replied, “He’s grown more mature and composed since his graduation. You can entrust certain matters to him.”
“I understand your thoughts, but the moment you return, I am certain that you are the most fitting heir to the White Group.”
Byrum shook his head and continued, “Your mother… Forget it. It’s old news. Let it be. Be cautious when you head back to Valmere on your own.”
Upon hearing Byrum’s admonition, Hannah nodded and said, “Of course, Grandpa.”
After conveying her intentions, Hannah left the study. As she turned, she was surprised to find Edwin standing just outside. Startled, she took a step back.
“Why were you silently Lurking out here?”

Hannah blinked and glanced at the study before locking eyes with Edwin. She wore an expression of mild exasperation.
“You’ve even taken up eavesdropping now!”
“That’s none of your concern!” Edwin glared at Hannah, his tone confrontational.
“If you return to Valmere, you won’t come back, will you? Everything you said in there was just to comfort Grandpa!”
“You’re reading too much into it.” Hannah retraced her steps, sensing Edwin trailing behind her. She addressed him.
“A friend of mine has encountered some trouble in Valmere. I’ll return once I’ve resolved it”
Edwin proposed, “Then I’ll accompany you!”
Hannah gently declined.
“I truly can’t bring you along this time.”
