Lydia explained while scrolling through her phone. Locating the casino’s name, she stated, “I’ve got it. ‘Homecoming’ on the West Side. It’s a legitimate establishment.”
“Alright.”
Hannah noted this information down.
“I’ll look into it tomorrow.”
Brayden eagerly raised his hand.
“And me? What’s my role in this?”
Hannah directed him.
“You have a crucial task. On the day of their engagement, your job is to rescue Lydia.”
“What?” Brayden’s brows furrowed.
“You’re really letting Lydia get engaged to Alick?”
Hannah shook her head.
“You misunderstand. Only by disrupting everything at the grand engagement ceremony can we thwart their schemes. And there’s one more thing. I need your assistance in devising a plan. I aim to consolidate all of Phillips Group’s shares under Lydia’s name and then revitalize the company.”
Brayden mulled it over.

“It’s a complex situation. I’ll need some time to ponder it over.”
Lydia ushered him out.
“Take your time to think it through. I’m a bit weary now. It’s time for us to turn in!”
Bang!
The door shut emphatically and Lydia sank onto the couch. Her countenance lost its radiance as if all vitality had drained from her.
Observing Lydia’s apparent despondency, Hannah smiled, approaching her.
“Would you like a glass of wine?”
“No, I’m a bit fatigued,” Lydia responded.
Witnessing Lydia’s exhaustion, Hannah drew near with a gentle voice.
“You weren’t like this when Brayden was here.”
Lydia sighed, resting her head on Hannah’s shoulder.
