Shame on you! Shame on you! I won’t tolerate this disgrace!”
His hand extended, aiming to seize Lydia’s arm.
“Come with me to the Shaw family’s villa and apologize!”
Before his hand could make contact, another hand intercepted.
“Why should she apologize?” Hannah, already attired and positioned by the door, fixed a cold gaze on Jaylin and Henry outside.
Noticing Hannah’s presence, Jaylin momentarily faltered, attempting to peer inside.
Hannah sneered, “What? Hoping to find a man in my room? This is my room and I allowed my friend to spend the night here. What’s so shameless about that?”
Jaylin sought to respond but Hannah’s frigid and disdainful words silenced him.
“This is a high-end establishment. Please speak with respect. Otherwise, I can have you ejected!”
Already nursing a bruised ego from his previous encounter with Hannah, Henry now launched into a tirade.
“What’s the big deal about staying here? I can stay here too if I want! You only enjoy this because you’ve latched onto a man and taken his money. Does that make you proud?”
Lydia’s countenance darkened, contemplating a physical response to Henry’s words but Hannah seized her wrist.
Drawing Lydia away, Hannah addressed Henry with composed demeanor.
“Do you truly believe I can’t take action against you? There are cameras all over this floor. Shall I summon the police now, inform them of your defamation and have you arrested?”
“You!” Henry glanced around and fell silent.

Hannah curled her lips, fixing an unfriendly gaze on Jaylin and Henry.
“Do you believe a woman always has to lean on a man? Your perspectives are so narrow. No wonder Phillips Group has struggled.”
Jaylin’s expression darkened.
“What are you implying?”
“Nothing. Dad, in your own words, let’s not make fools of ourselves here!” With that, Lydia exited, bag slung over her shoulder.
Observing her departure, Jaylin followed, while Henry purposely lagged behind.
As Lydia and Jaylin walked away, Henry sharply turned his head towards Hannah.
“Just you wait and see!”
Meeting his gaze, Hannah fought back laughter.
