Buy us some time until we have more clarity.”
Edwin nodded. “Got it, Hannah. I’ll handle it and update you after the meeting Hannah saw Winston entering the living room. She grunted a reply.
“Yeah, busy now. Will call you back.”
“Cool. Later, Hannah.”
Ending the call, she turned to Winston. “Winston, let’s hit the town today. Chadwick family’s turf in Caditown.”
Winston tensed at the unexpected destination. “Miss Moore, why Caditown? The Chadwicks have been eyeing you. Going there openly is like…”

“Ahem! Ahem. Ahem…”
Keith, sipping his drink while approaching, found himself choking at Hannah’s audacious words.
He tossed the second can to Trent and eyed Hannah with amusement.
“You’re the only one who dares speak so freely. Anyone else would’ve been silenced.”
Hannah met Keith’s gaze, a mischievous glint in her eye. “You two…
Have you checked out the Caditown’s biggest entertainment center yet?”
Keith and Trent shared a knowing look.
They knew that the largest entertainment center in Caditown was under the Chadwick family’s control. But Hannah had her issues with them…
