After expressing her gratitude, Winston turned to Alessandra, saying, “Pack your belongings. I’ll escort you to move in later.”
“Okay!” Alessandra exclaimed, darting out in excitement.
Once Alessandra had vanished from sight, Winston expressed apologetically, “I’m sorry for the trouble. I’ll move her elsewhere as soon as I find a suitable place.”
“Don’t worry. It’s not safe outside. Let her stay here for a while,”
Hannah reassured with indifference. “After all, now that someone is targeting me, there will be someone targeting you.”
Winston bowed his head in silent acknowledgment, uttering, “I understand.”
On the evening of the grand party, the person who delivered Hannah the dress explained that it was the latest luxury creation, specifically ordered by the son of the Pierce family for her.
The black dress’s hem sparkled with over 500 diamonds, radiating brilliance in the light. A delicate layer of black chiffon enveloped the sleeves. The allure of the V-neck dress bestowed upon her a sensuous charm.
Even the stylist couldn’t help but sigh, “Miss, you look stunning, like a noble and elegant black swan!”
The gala unfolded with grandeur as guests streamed in one after another. The party’s adornments exuded opulence and antiquity.

“Miss Compton, today the boss is set to officially acknowledge Hannah as his biological daughter. As his adopted daughter, it’s time for you to step aside.”
Holding a glass of wine, Faustina appeared behind Joselyn, her voice taking on a bewitching tone.
“And why should I?” Joselyn abruptly turned, locking a fierce gaze on Faustina. “I carry the title of his daughter. And despite my conflicts with Hannah, my father didn’t always side with her.”
Joselyn added, a hint of cruelty in her eyes, “It’s hard to say whether the party can go smoothly tonight! Regardless, you better address me as Miss Compton.”
Faustina, wearing a charming smile, offered no argument to Joselyn.
“Miss Compton, our disagreements are our own affair. I’m most supportive of you when dealing with outsiders. After all, the enemy’s enemy is a friend.”
She raised her glass, gently clinking it against Joselyn’s.
Ding!
The glasses chimed melodiously.
She flashed a sly grin at Joselyn and added with a playful tone, “We are in the same boat now.”
Joselyn sneered, “Do you honestly think you’re in the same boat as me? Because I don’t.”
