Hannah quickly gathered her belongings and made her way to Penkleris Hotel.
The hotel was a luxury venue, not owned by the White family, but under Omar’s name in Hoijery.
This unsettled Hannah. She didn’t want any involvement with Omar. Yet here she was, because of Edwin.
Taking a deep breath for courage, Hannah pushed open the door to the private room and entered. As she’d expected, Omar and several of Edwin’s friends were there.
A young girl was weeping in the room. It was Elin, the same girl Hannah had encountered before.
Upon seeing Hannah, Omar arched an eyebrow.
“Ah, it’s you. Here to fix this mess?”

One of them quickly retorted, “We’re trying to resolve things peacefully, no need for police intervention.”
“Fine,” Hannah said, turning to the teary-eyed Elin.
“What’s your solution?”
Elin dabbed at her eyes and timidly glanced at Edwin.
“I still have feelings for Edwin. If he agrees to marry me, we can consider the matter closed.”
So, her aim was to secure a place in a well-off family. Hannah thought, how ambitious.
With a smirk she kept to herself, Hannah reached into her handbag and pulled out her phone.
“I think involving law enforcement is the best course of action.”
