Finally, Hannah turned to Faustina and asked, “Are you happy now?”
Faustina, taken aback by Hannah’s harshness, glanced at the broken bat pieces and attempted to regain her composure. “What do you mean by ‘happy’? It’s just how things are done around here!”
Having said that, Faustina quickly made up an excuse to leave, with many others in the training room following suit.
Conor walked over to Hannah, wearing a mischievous grin, and said, “I’ve always thought you and I are the same. We’re both willing to go to great lengths against those who’ve been with us for so Long.”
“Iam nothing like you.” Hannah shot him a frosty look before responding, “Mind your own business.”
Just as she was about to walk away, she caught Conor’s gloomy words trailing her, saying, “You’ve been part of the Compton family for a long time. Remember why you came back in the first place.”
Without turning around, Hannah responded with a cold detachment, “The promise I made to him hasn’t slipped my mind. You don’t have to keep reminding me.”
Meanwhile, after Winston and Alessandra left the training ground, Winston saw Alessandra home. He then announced his intentions to leave.

“Winston, are you leaving me?” Alessandra clutched at Winston’s clothes, shaking like a frightened deer.
Gently patting Alessandra’s hand, Winston reassured, “I need to gather my belongings and move elsewhere.”
“Winston, it’s not fair how Miss Moore treats you. You didn’t do anything to deserve it…”
“Stop it. And don’t blame yourself. You didn’t do anything wrong here.”

Winston reached over to tenderly pat Alessandra’s head. “Make sure you get some rest tonight.”
Alessandra gave a small nod. “Please, don’t argue with Miss Moore.
Even if she was unjust this time, I’m sure it wasn’t intentional.”
“I understand,” Winston whispered back.
As soon as Hannah pulled into the driveway of her home and passed through the gate, she was met with the sounds of Dotson wailing from the Living room.
“It hurts! Could you be a bit more careful? I swear, you’re going to snap my leg in half! Be gentle, will you?”
“Just a minute ago, you insisted you didn’t need my help. Stop yelling!”
The moment Hannah stepped into the living room, she saw Trent wrapping Dotson’s calf with a towel, attempting to stabilize it as a makeshift splint.
With a grimace, Dotson was sweating heavily, biting down on a towel.
A moment later, Trent let go of his grip and swiftly wiped his forehead. “Alright, try moving your leg.”
Dotson shook his leg, feeling a sudden ease. “ALL good now!”
“Hannah, you’re back…” Keith, who was standing close by, was the first to catch sight of Hannah. He stuttered, taken by surprise.
