“You’ve thrown him a lifeline before, and here you are again, stepping into the fray. Is there a particular reason? Perhaps, a hidden affection?”
“Are you nuts?” Hannah cast Maloney an incredulous look before adding, “He’s still a kid. Do you think I’m a pedophile? If I tell Bryson about this, you’ll be in trouble.”
Undeterred, Maloney continued to tease, “I doubt that. He’s possessive, so he’ll probably be mad at you first.”
Not having it, Hannah rolled her eyes at him in response and ascended the stairs.
Upon returning to her room, Hannah Lay on the bed and turned over, facing the window.
The sky outside was gloomy, signaling an incoming storm.
She turned over to the other side, where a large bookshelf sat across from her on the bed. The books displayed were mostly old.
Hannah stared at them long enough to notice something unusual with one of the books in the third row.
Curious, she climbed out of the bed and grabbed the book. It was thick and had a black cover.
It Looked normal, but Hannah couldn’t shake off the suspicion in her heart.
Examining the book closely, she discovered a pinhole camera in its spine!

The red light was flickering, which meant it was recording.
Hannah immediately extracted the pinhole camera from the book’s spine and held it close to her face. It was so tiny that she wouldn’t have noticed it if she hadn’t looked carefully.
She took out her phone, took a photo of the pinhole camera, and sent it to Bryson with an accompanying message, saying, “I found this in my room. You probably have one in yours too. Look for it carefully.”
Bryson’s reply was quick, saying, “I found it already. It’s on the wall painting, but I didn’t take it down. I’m afraid it might arouse suspicion and get you in trouble if I remove it after you. For now, let’s act like nothing is wrong and wait for Remington’s next move.”

After reading Bryson’s reply, Hannah shifted her gaze from her phone to the pinhole camera in her hand. Without hesitation, she dropped the camera on the floor and stepped on it, crushing it to pieces.
Regardless, Remington would still know she had discovered the camera.
Soon, it was completely dark outside.
Hannah had just finished changing into a long black dress when a knock came on her door, She took a last glance at her reflection in the mirror before walking to the door and opening it.
Outside the room stood the butler. He bowed slightly to acknowledge her and declared, “Dinner is ready, Miss Moore. Please follow me to the dining room.”
“Okay,” Hannah replied curtly.
In the dining room, almost everyone was settled on their seats. Thus, when Hannah entered, all eyes were on her.
More than her presence, it was her appearance that caught their attention.
Aside from the host’s seat, only two chairs were unoccupied: one beside Bryson and the other beside Remington.
