Remington’s men nced at their boss.Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    They only left after Remington gestured for them to go.


    Walking past Hannah, Bryson paused and gave her a meaningful look.


    “You’ve caught my interest.


    If you run into trouble with themter, juste to me.


    I’ll always be ready to help.


    ”


    Hannah muttered to herself, “This guy was really into his act!”


    “Let’s head out,” she told Winston.


    “Hold on!” Conor interrupted in a stern voice.


    “Remember your promise to us.


    ”


    With a casual smile, Hannah waved a hand over her shoulder.


    “Rest assured, I recall things quite clearly.


    ”


    As Hannah and Winston walked away, Conor watched them leave the port and hop into a luxury car in the distance.


    Looking determined, he told Rodrigo, “Follow them.


    ”


    Rodrigo hesitated, his eyes flicking to Remington.


    “But what if… what if I lose them?”


    “Stop beating around the bush.


    If you lose them, don’t bothering back!”


    “Understood, sir!” Rodrigo quickly agreed and hurried outside with his team to their vehicles.


    As Hannah merged into the traffic, she noticed the cars trailing them.


    shing a grin, she gripped the steering wheel tighter.


    “Hold on.


    ”


    Winston, seated in the passenger seat, barely had time to brace himself before the car swiftly maneuvered through the bustling traffic.


    Rodrigo, his forehead damp with cold sweat, dialed Conor’s number.


    It took a while, but he finally said, “I’ve lost them.


    ”


    Conor, sitting in his car, squinted dangerously and asked in a low, threatening tone, “How did you lose them?”


    Rodrigo rushed to exin, “She must’ve realized we were tailing her.


    She sped up like crazy! We just couldn’t keep up.


    ”


    The silence on the other end made Rodrigo’s heart race.


    Swallowing hard, he cautiously asked, “What should we do now?”


    Aware that Hannah’s actions were intentional, Conor scoffed, “Have your team pull back for now.


    She’ll return to the Compton family eventually.


    Don’t worry.


    We’ll deal with her in our own time.


    ”


    Once Conor was off the phone, Remington, slumped against the car window, expressed his displeasure.


    “We’re down several billion this time.


    Never took a hit like this before, Conor.


    ”


    “Mr.


    Lyons, we’ve been partners for a while.


    You know I don’t let things slide.


    It’s always been just Hannah and Bryson who could cross us.


    But here’s the thing… Hannah isn’t on good terms with the Compton family, which we can make use of.


    I bet she’s clueless about the secret in those paintings.
