With a resounding slam, the door shut behind her. Bryson’s lips curled into a smile as he leisurely sipped from the glass.
In the dressing room, Hannah swiftly changed and stepped out, dialing Brayden’s number.
“Make sure that hidden camera is removed from his room. I’ve captured everything I need.”
“Don’t worry. The camera will be gone.”
“There’s one last thing…”
Hannah cautioned, “If you dare to let Bryson know my whereabouts, allowing him to cross my path again, consider your relationship with Lydia over.”
Brayden found himself at a loss for words on the other end of the phone. An awkward chuckle escaped him as he said, “This is because…”
His search for the right words stretched on, punctuated by a slight cough.
“Don’t worry. If it’s within my power, I’ll handle the matter myself from now on, without seeking him out!”
After Brayden ended the call, a fine sheen of sweat clung to his forehead. He lifted his gaze to Bryson.
Since Brayden had taken the call on speaker, Bryson had overheard everything Hannah had said.
Brayden’s face flushed with a mix of embarrassment and turmoil.
“Well… you heard her. She left me no choice with her threats.”
“Enough talk,” Bryson cut in, eyeing him with a cool detachment.
“Any news from Homecoming?”

“Yes, I’ve discreetly sent a reminder to Henry. I suspect he’ll make a move soon. I’ll be watching him closely.”
Back at her place, Hannah transferred the video to her computer and sent a copy to Lydia.
Within moments, Lydia was on the phone with her.
“This is utterly shocking! Alick and Eliana are an item? Declan’s oblivious to this?”
Lydia’s voice thundered through the phone, even as Hannah held it away from her ear.
“Just take a breath.”
Lydia flopped onto her bed, rolling over in agitation.
“Nope, I can’t settle down! It’s true what they say about karma. It’s not that it’s absent, just biding its time. Declan wronged you, and now he’s been duped himself. Serves him right! Ha!”
A smile played on Hannah’s lips.
