Upon hearing that, they released him.
The man who had been pinned to the wall quickly fled the moment he was set free.
Keith glanced at Hannah and coughed, a hint of embarrassment in his eyes.
“So, you knew all along that we were… trailing you?”
“I figured out some time ago that someone was following me, but I only noticed you two today,” Hannah replied, eyeing them with suspicion. “You both seemed really eager to catch the guy tailing me. You wanted to know why he was stalking me. Who are you guys, anyway? Why are you digging into my business?”
With a narrow gaze, Hannah continued, “The Compton family weren’t into local business before. Then you come back, hold this big auction, using that huge plot in the east district as bait to draw me in, right? The White and Compton families working together doesn’t really benefit you. You’ve built your influence overseas. If you were to partner up locally, it’d make more sense with the Mitchell family. It just feels like your family’s deal with the Whites is somehow targeting me.”
Keith and Trent exchanged looks. Trent broke the silence. “Keith, maybe it’s time we come clean?”
Keith let out a sigh. “How about we find a better place to talk? Standing here isn’t doing us any favors.”
Eventually, they found themselves in a cafe that was open all day.
“Three coffees, please,” Keith requested.
Seated opposite them, Hannah said firmly, “Alright, out with it. If you’re going to lie to me again, I’m out of here.”
“Wait!”
Keith was at a loss for words, so he nudged Trent to speak.
“I…” Trent began, his gaze fixed on Hannah. “I need to tell you something.
You know… Who your real dad is?”

Hannah, unimpressed, replied sharply, “I don’t have time for nonsense. If this isn’t important, I’m leaving.” She looked at them as if they were making no sense.
“No, listen to me! Wyatt Moore isn’t your real father. Got it?!”
Hannah, though she had suspected it, felt a jolt hearing these words and stayed silent.
Trent, noticing her silence, cautiously added, “You might not believe me right away. But…”
He cleared his throat awkwardly. “I managed to get some of your hair for a DNA test. Turns out, we have the same dad. Our dad knew your mom passed away, but you were still out there. So, he told us to come back here and find a way to meet you.”
Hannah gave them a skeptical look and asked, “And why should I believe any of this?”
“I have the DNA test results right here.” Keith handed the phone to Hannah, saying, “This DNA report is legitimate. You can verify it, or redo the DNA test if you want.”
Hannah glanced at the report on the phone and replied, “No need to.”
She gave back the phone to Keith and queried, “What do you want from me? To acknowledge my biological dad?”
