A sly smile graced Hannah’s lips as she yfully patted Bryson’s shoulder.


    “I intend to let them suffer.


    Here, take this.


    ”


    With a flourish, she lowered her gaze, affixing the cuff link to Bryson’s suit jacket.


    Bryson cast a nce at the cuff link on his sleeve, a smile ying on his lips.


    “You’re bing quite duplicitous, aren’t you?”


    “Give it back if you don’t want it.


    ” Hannah extended her hand to remove the cuff link from Bryson’s sleeve, but Bryson ensnared her wrist.

    Their eyes locked, Bryson’s grip on Hannah’s wrist radiating warmth.


    Just as the moment hung in suspense, a sharp knock reverberated on the door.


    Knock! Knock! Knock!


    Perched on Bryson’sp, Hannah shot an irked look at the door, her discontent evident.

    Even in the absence of guards or servants, no one dared to breach the sanctity without consent.


    “Who’s there?”


    Hannah rose from Bryson’sp, fixing a vignt gaze on the door.


    She gestured for Bryson to stay silent, then approached the door at a deliberate pace.


    Winston’s voice resonated from the other side.


    “It’s me.


    My sister wants to thank you.


    ”


    Upon hearing Winston’s voice, the vignce evaporated from Hannah’s face.


    As she approached the door, ready to open it, she turned around, signaling for Bryson to leave first.


    Bryson, in his usualid-back demeanor, offered a casual wave before turning and exiting through the balcony.


    After he left, Hannah swung open the door, revealing Winston and Alessandra.


    “You’ve already expressed your gratitude before.


    No need to be overly thankful.


    I saved you because of your brother.


    ”


    “I understand, but I still want to thank you, Miss Moore.This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Without you, I couldn’t have reunited with my brother,” Alessandra uttered timidly, standing next to Winston, mustering the courage to meet Hannah’s gaze.


    “There’s another matter we need your assistance with, Miss Moore,”


    Winston uttered, his words dr@ped in a subtle hesitation and uncertainty.


    Hannah, unfazed, urged, “Just spill it.


    When did you be so indecisive?”


    Alessandra hastily chimed in, “My brother wants to ask this on my behalf… I can’t live with my brother even if I stay in Compton Manor.


    I don’t know the servants of the Compton family.


    Miss Moore, could you allow me to stay in your vi?”


    Having vocalized her request, Alessandra swiftly grasped the potential impropriety of her request.


    A flush of embarrassment colored her cheeks as she hastily rified, “I don’t intend to stay for free.


    Since there are no servants here, I can handle cooking and cleaning.


    Allow me to stay and assist you, Miss Moore.


    ”


    Living alone in the vi, Hannah found no issue with an additional presence.


    “You’re wee to stay here.


    There are plenty of guest rooms, and you can pick any one you like.


    And you don’t need to be my servant.


    I’m not ustomed to it.


    ”


    “Thank you, Miss Moore.


    I won’t be a bother,” Alessandra beamed with a bright smile.
