“Understood.”
Meanwhile, at the Imperial Palace Hotel, Winston got a call from Joselyn.
Seeing her name, he answered with a frown, “Yeah, what’s up?”
Joselyn said with a hint of arrogance, “Where are you? I need you to pick me up from the manor, I need to do some shopping.”
“I’m busy with work right now, I can’t.” Winston replied, his voice emotionless.
Joselyn’s grip on her phone tightened when she learned Winston was occupied. “Are you guarding that other daughter of my father’s?” she asked.
“That’s none of your concern. If you need to go out, just ask the manor’s driver,” he said.

“No need for that!” Joselyn ended the call, fuming with anger.
Clutching her phone, her eyes hardened. She had worked hard to become the Compton family’s adopted daughter, and she was determined not to let Hannah blend into the family easily.
Winston, listening to the disconnect tone, scowled.
Meanwhile, Hannah was busy organizing a project report for Edwin, who was far away in Valmere, Cadilind.
Edwin called for a video chat.
When Hannah agreed, Edwin appeared on the screen, looking exhausted.

“Hannah, when are you coming back? I’m lost without you!”
Hannah chuckled, “You missing me amidst your busy schedule? That’s unexpected.”
Edwin replied with a weary smile, “I’ve lost my appetite and haven’t slept in days. The business is a handful. Thankfully, I finally got a moment to talk to you. When will you return? I’ve been waiting to play games with you. It’s been nearly two months, and you’re now overseas…”
Hannah bit her lip, not ready to share her current situation. “Well…
Let’s talk about it later. I’m dealing with something here.
“Understood,” Edwin said, then suddenly changed the subject. “I heard Bryson’s in Newfort too. Have you seen him?”
Hannah’s face twisted into a frown as she lied, “There’s a different issue we need to handle in Newfort. We haven’t crossed paths yet.”
“Alright, but if you run into Bryson, could you let him know the White Group wants to chat with the Mitchell Group about a crucial project? I tried calling him a few times, but no luck. He’s probably swamped.”
Hannah nodded in agreement. “Sure, I’ll pass the message if I see him.”
“Great, I won’t keep you then. I’ve got work and a meeting to attend.
Look forward to your return.”
