There was very little probability that their suspicions were right, but…
Bryson’s actions last night had her feeling restless. What if he had been lying to her all this time?
Later that day, Hannah finished dressing up and prepared to go and meet up with Lydia. She had just gone downstairs when Jalen arrived from work.
“Are you going somewhere, Hannah?”
“Yes, I’m having dinner with a friend. Is something up?”
Jalen’s expression tightened.
“I’m afraid you’ll have to change your plans for tonight. Aunt Ursula is coming back, and we’re having a family dinner at Langen Manor. I’m here to pick you and Edwin up.”
Hannah glanced at her phone. It was almost half past six.

It was a family dinner, though, so she couldn’t really refuse to go.
“Okay, I’ll give my friend a call real quick.”
“Take your time. I’ll go get Edwin.”
A while later, they were all in Jalen’s car.

“Family dinner?” Edwin muttered from the passenger seat.
“I can’t even remember the last time we got together. Why would Aunt Ursula suddenly arrange a get-together.”
“Stop talking nonsense,” Jalen scolded.
“She is still your elder.”

“I bet she’s up to no good.”
Hannah sat in the backseat and said nothing.
“It’s definitely not out of good will,” Edwin rambled on.
“I mean, Johanna fainted and was rushed to the hospital, and Aunt Ursula suddenly calls for a family dinner on the same day. Don’t you find it suspicious, Jalen?”
Jalen frowned but said nothing.
“See? You can’t even say anything to counter me, can you? I’m sure Aunt Ursula has some sinister agenda!”
Jalen glanced at Hannah through the rearview mirror.
