Trent hesitated, sensing the complexity of the situation. “Well… it’s not exactly that simple.”
“Yeah, so? I’m still gonna tell her.” Keith grabbed the phone.
“Hannah! She was bailed out the day you returned to Cadilind, but she never came here after that!”
Hannah raised her eyebrows. “Wait, she hasn’t come back since then? What happened?”

Keith replied, “How could she have the audacity to come back? She brought trouble upon two young masters of the six major families. Father showed leniency for the sake of the Chadwich family, which was already quite generous.”
Trent took his phone back and calmly told Hannah, “Don’t pay attention to Keith’s words, Because of you, the Jade Paradise lost its profitable ways, and the Bloody Gang disbanded. The Chadwich family now harbored resentment towards our father. But… Father refuses to make amends to the Chadwich family, which is why Amelie hasn’t returned yet. Currently, tensions between the Compton and Chadwich families are high.”
This revelation surprised Hannah.
She had believed that Wallace had insisted she returns to Cadilind partly to protect her from Amelie’s vengeance and partly to ease tensions with the Chadwich family.
She hadn’t anticipated his firm stance against the Chadwich family.
Hannah shook her head, clearing her thoughts. “With all this going on, I almost forgot to ask about what truly matters. Amelie hasn’t returned to the Compton household recently. Have you noticed any of her movements?”
“We’ve been closely monitoring Amelie’s activities due to concerns about potential trouble,” Trent said. “However, she hasn’t made any moves from yesterday until now. After returning to the Chadwich home, she hasn’t been seen outside.”
Certain matters didn’t necessitate Amelie’s direct involvement.
Hannah nodded in understanding. “What about Joselyn? Have you noticed any unusual behavior from her?”
“Her?” Trent thought for a moment. “There shouldn’t be anything unusual. Since returning from Remington’s manor, she seems to have kept out of trouble.”
It appeared that there was nothing new or significant to gather from their responses.
“I see. I’ll let you know if anything comes up. I’m hanging up now,”
Hannah said indifferently.
“Wait a moment!” Keith hurriedly interjected. “Hannah, you’ve asked us a lot this time. Is something going on in Cadilind?”
Hannah didn’t want to cause unnecessary concern and simply replied, “It’s nothing serious. I just called to clarify something. Don’t worry about it. It’s getting late there, you should rest early.”
“Okay.”
After ending the call, Keith and Trent exchanged glances across the dining table.
Keith started, “It seems Hannah is keeping something from us since she returned to Cadilind.”
“I agree.” Trent added, “It’s odd that she suddenly asked about that woman.”
After a moment of silence, Keith suggested, “Wasn’t Dotson with Hannah when she went back? Maybe I should ask him. He must know what’s going on if he’s with her!”
