Edwin, visibly pleased, inquired, “Hannah, are you planning to stay after you return this time?”
“No, I still have some business to handle here. In fact, I don’t have to go back right away this time, but I’ve missed you all. I thought it would be a good time to visit.”
Lydia scoffed. “At least you remember us now. It’s been ages since you last visited.”
Hannah chuckled. “Well, you’ll have to treat me to a couple more meals then.”

“I’ve got plenty saved up. When you get back, I’ll reserve a high-end restaurant for the whole month. You won’t go hungry, that’s for sure.”
In a soft tone, Grace interjected, “Hannah, how is my brother doing? Will he return with you this time?”
“Your brother is fine. I haven’t discussed it with him yet. He probably misses you as well. If I tell him I’m going back, he’ll likely come with me.”
On the other end of the phone, Lydia hugged Grace and said, “Grace is very worried about you, Hannah.”
Hannah smiled faintly. “Please take good care of her for me. I’ll be back soon.”
After the conversation, Hannah inquired about local events. “Has anything major happened in the country lately?”
“Nothing serious. After the previous events, Declan has been behaving. The Shaw family is on the decline, having been overtaken by the Glyn family. They’re not as influential as before but are legitimate businesspeople now. Layne has approached me for several business deals. When he found out you were away, he asked me to get in touch with him upon your return.”
Layne Cartwright?
Hannah was surprised he was still seeking her out.
“Okay. Please help me get in touch with him when I return.”
Edwin nodded before bringing up the Mitchell family.
“The Mitchells have been quiet since Bryson went abroad, but they’ve recently received a large investment from overseas. Tyshawn has taken temporary control of the company and has become rather arrogant again.”
Previously, Hurst had tried to cause trouble but was restrained by Bryson, who managed the situation discreetly without escalating it.
Hannah was taken aback that Tyshawn, that fool, was running the company in Bryson’s absence.
“The investment came because of Bryson. Why does Tyshawn get to be so arrogant?” Hannah asked sharply.
“What?”
Edwin appeared stunned and clearly puzzled. “You mean it’s because of Bryson?”
From Edwin’s reaction, Hannah sensed there was more to the story.
“What have you heard?”
“According to local news, the daughter of the financial group has taken a liking to Tyshawn, prompting their hefty investment in the Mitchell family’s company.”
