She hurried to intercept Hannah.
“Hold on… Wait a second!”
Seeing Joselyn blocking her path, Hannah arched an eyebrow.
“Have you got more to say?”
“Hannah!”
Joselyn, face drained of color, dropped to her knees before Hannah, her forehead touching the cool floor, “Please… Please don’t tell Dad about this! I was just… I lost my way! And you’re okay now, aren’t you? If Dad finds out, he won’t go easy on me!”
Looking at the tearful figure on the ground, Hannah scoffed internally, but she was flexible.
“I might keep quiet, depending on how sincere you are?”
“Sis, name it, I’ll do whatever it takes!”
Joselyn, now desperate, clung to Hannah’s clothes, caring Little about taking sides.
If Hannah spilled this to Dad, even if Amelie wanted to save her, her father would never let her off.
Amelie wouldn’t protect someone of so little worth anyhow.
Joselyn finally showed some sense, trying to strike a deal with Hannah.
“Fine, I’ll give you a shot to prove yourself.

Hannah grinned, leaning in to whisper a few words in Joselyn’s ear.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.
Listening to Hannah, Joselyn’s expression shifted.
Her teeth clenched but then she nodded vigorously.
“Sis, trust me, I’ll handle this.
No one else will know.
”
Hannah narrowed her eyes, straightened up, and warned, “No tricks.
Mess up, and you know what’sing.
”
Joselyn agreed to the terms.
Hannah left, leaving Joselyn to copse to the ground, catching her breath.
Despite knowing it was a trap, Joselyn had no choice but to dive in.
Her eyes darkened, Joselyn still held Amelie’s secrets.
If push came to shove, she’d drag everyone down with her!
She had to fight for her own chance!
Night fell and the heads of families and key members gathered in the living room.
Remington and Wace waited for Rhett, who hadn’t arrived yet.
Remington checked his watch, frowning, then instructed, “Get Rhett here pronto!”
“Yes, Mr.
Lyons.
