Remington’s men glanced at their boss.
They only left after Remington gestured for them to go.
Walking past Hannah, Bryson paused and gave her a meaningful look.
“You’ve caught my interest. If you run into trouble with them later, just come to me. I’ll always be ready to help.”
Hannah muttered to herself, “This guy was really into his act!”
“Let’s head out,” she told Winston.
“Hold on!” Conor interrupted in a stern voice. “Remember your promise to us.”
With a casual smile, Hannah waved a hand over her shoulder. “Rest assured, I recall things quite clearly.”

Once Conor was off the phone, Remington, slumped against the car window, expressed his displeasure. “We’re down several billion this time. Never took a hit like this before, Conor.”
“Mr. Lyons, we’ve been partners for a while. You know I don’t let things slide. It’s always been just Hannah and Bryson who could cross us. But here’s the thing… Hannah isn’t on good terms with the Compton family, which we can make use of. I bet she’s clueless about the secret in those paintings.”
