Winston had already warned her, getting rid of Remington wouldn’t be easy.
“I really hope you won’t turn me down, Miss Moore,” Remington pleaded, his eyes sparkling with hope. “It’d be great if we could stay in touch after this cruise.”
But Hannah was firm in her response. “Listen, Mr. Lyons, you know I’m all about business with Wilde. I’m here to make deals, not chat about anything else.”
“Alright then.” Remington let out a heavy sigh, hiding the ring away, a hint of disappointment in his voice. “Guess it’s time for me to leave.”
Once Remington left, Hannah got up. “Time for a shower,” she announced.
After her shower, dressed and with her hair dried, Hannah emerged to find Winston still rested in the living room. “Still here, Winston?
What are you waiting for?”
He looked at her, a mix of emotions in his eyes. “I found out something after you left yesterday.”
Hannah settled down, curious. “And that is?”
“Why do you think your cousin’s art exhibitions were picked for the money laundering scheme?”
Hannah pondered for a moment. “Well, he just got to Newfort, no real connections, but still managed an art exhibition. Must’ve caught their eye. He’s too kind-hearted, easy for them to use.”
Winston shook his head, denying the simplicity of the situation.

“It’s not that straightforward. You see, it’s not just about using your cousin’s art exhibitions to clean dirty money. They plan to distribute his paintings in various places, discreetly. And here’s the twist, they’ve concealed illegal drugs inside the frames. We’re looking into it.”
Hannah, taken aback, questioned him in disbelief, “What? Are you serious?”
“Yeah.” Winston continued, “I couldn’t find you last night, so I decided to tail Wilde’s men, hoping to dig up something. And I overheard them discussing the art exhibition. They’re planning to move the paintings next time they unload the ship.”
Hannah’s hands clenched into fists, a mix of anger and concern. “Does my cousin even know what’s happening?”
Winston hesitated a moment before admitting, “I’m not sure.”
“I need to see him. Can you keep an eye on Rocco for me?”

Just as she stood to leave, Winston intervened, “Let me come with you. I’ve told Rocco to stay put and not open the door unless it’s for us. I’ll come with you.”
Hannah agreed, “Okay.”
Arriving at Jalen’s room, Hannah knocked.
Jalen, surprised, peered outside before swiftly opening the door wider. “Quick, come in!”
Hannah stepped into the room, Winston following close behind.
Jalen shut the door and asked, “Why are you guys here?”
