“Well, this is my condition. If you refuse to meet it, then don’t blame me for what happens later.”
There was a long moment of silence before Hannah spoke again.
“Mr. Phillips, I believe I just told you that Lydia can move forward without a statement from you. It would just be more troublesome for our part, is all. As a businessman, I’m sure you understand the value of each commodity you put up for trade. What makes you think, given your current situation, that a mere few words from you is worth 20% of the Phillips Group’s shares?”
It was Jaylin’s turn to laugh, though his was laced with anger and frustration.
“How glib of you, Miss Moore!”
Hannah stood up.
“We are in no rush, Mr. Phillips. Do think it over before you make a decision.”
With that, she strode out of the ward.
Jaylin’s face fell once he was alone again, his eyes filled with despair.

“What did you say to my father?

Well, it looked like the old man had come to a decision pretty quickly. Hannah looked back at the hospital building and said on the phone, “Take some rest. Don’t think too much about anything in the next few days.”
“ALL right! Let’s go out to dinner some time, it will be my treat!

Some time, as in, in a few days?
Hannah found herself in a dilemma. She just might need to buy a plane ticket to Newfort.
But she couldn’t explain her departure to Lydia, or, at least, she didn’t want to. Her friend would only get worried.
“Well… Let’s talk about this later.”
Hannah headed back to the hotel. As soon as she stepped into the lobby, she was intercepted by Keith.
She couldn’t help the resigned sigh that escaped her mouth.
“Mr. Compton… What can I do for you? Why don’t we go sit in the cafe and have a proper talk?”
