Wace nodded and signaled Winston to leave.


    Just as Hannah was about to exit, Wace stopped her.


    “Wait.


    ”


    “Is there anything else, Mr.


    Compton?”


    He fiddled with his ring, his gaze growing intense.


    “Winston must have shown you the videos of your mother, right?”
