Then what about Bryson?


    She didn’t have time to ponder this as one of the thugs spoke.


    A few days earlier, dealing with these people had been a breeze.


    Now, they were tougher.


    Their leader eyed Caleb and remarked, “We’ve checked the room number.


    This isn’t your room.Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    Someone else is inside.


    Open up, we need to inspect!”


    Caleb, blocking the door with a cold expression, retorted, “Last time, I let you check without fuss.


    But now, who are you to demand entry?


    What authority do you have? Tell me!”


    Earlier, Hannah and Winston had given these thugs a good beating, souring their mood.


    Now, facing Caleb’s resistance, their irritation spiked.


    They started hurling insults at Caleb.


    “You think you’re something special? Our boss ordered this check!”


    “Refuse to open? We’ll beat you intopliance!”

    “Damn it! I’m already upset today.


    Beating you will be my relief!”


    Caleb stood his ground.


    Just as the thugs prepared to strike, Hannah appeared from the stairwell’s shadow and asked, “What’s happening, Caleb?”


    Caleb’s eyes shot open in surprise.


    Never in his wildest dreams did he expect to find Miss Moore on board this ship!


    Before he could gather his thoughts, Hannah approached, eyeing the thugs.


    “He’s a friend of mine.


    What’s the problem? Thinking of hitting him?”


    Hearing Hannah’s words, the thugs exchanged nces, hesitant to act.


    Even with Rodrigo present, they wouldn’t risk attacking Hannah, knowing her strength, and without Rodrigo, they definitely wouldn’t challenge someone under the Compton family’s protection.


    “Ha ha… It’s just a big misunderstanding.


    ” the leader finally surrendered, forcing a smile at Hannah.


    “Since he’s your friend, we’ll leave him be.


    ”


    With that, he gestured for his group to leave quickly.


    When they were out of sight, Caleb started to speak, but Hannah cut him off, “Open up.


    It’s been ages since west met.


    Why didn’t you call?”


    Caleb opened the door.


    “I’ve been on the ship these days, so I didn’t get the chance to call.


    Come in, make yourself at home.


    ”


    Once inside, Caleb quickly shut the door.
