Edwin shifted on his feet and narrowed his eyes at Jenny.
“Are you deaf or senile? Or are you simply too stupid to understand basic human language? I’m not interested in rehashing the incidents at school, but I’m telling you right now-if you do anything to my cousin, I will never spare you!”
Jenny’s nostrils flared as she huffed in anger.
“Fine! If anything happens to you in the future, you’d better not come running to me for help!”
In her rage, she threw the empty wine glass on the floor, shattering it to pieces, before storming away.
“That girl is insane,” Hannah muttered.

Edwin plopped back down on the couch, his face grim.
“She is absolutely unreasonable!”
“In any case, she is still the young lady of the Garza family. Why don’t you try getting together with her? The White and Garza families can form a marriage alliance, and we can finally take control of the entirety of Hoijery.”
Edwin frowned at Hannah’s teasing smile.
“Speak for yourself. She has an older brother, as you know. Why don’t you marry him instead?”
Hannah pinched his ear.
“She obviously harbors a crush on you!
Whereas, her brother doesn’t even Like me.”
“ALL right, all right, stop that!” Edwin pulled away from Hannah and grumbled, “Just wait, I’m going to tell Mr. Mitchell that you’re trying to shackle up with another guy!”

In the midst of their banter, Hannah noticed a figure lurking to the side.
“Sorry, can we help you with anything?” she asked Sadie calmly, acting like she didn’t recognize the latter.
Sadie was a mess. Her dress was wet and stained under the coat that Edwin had lent her when Jenny went on a rampage.
She lowered her head and mumbled, “I… I’ll wash this coat before I return it to you!”
Then Sadie turned on her heel and all but fled the scene.
Hannah watched her until she disappeared.
“The daughter of the Edwards family is not a suitable match for you,” she told Edwin.
By that time, he was already back at his mobile game.
“I don’t Like her either,” he replied indifferently.
