Hannah smirked coldly at the person outside the car and replied, “I’m sorry, but I’m unavable.


    ”


    The individual maintained a polite smile, seeming unsurprised by Hannah’s response.


    He remainedposed outside the car, stating calmly, “Miss Moore, as our note indicated, we respectfully request your presence.


    But… If you choose not to cooperate, we may need to consider alternative, less courteous actions.


    ”


    “What specific uncivil actions are you contemting?” Hannah’s tone chilled, her stare at the individual outside turned icy.


    “Are you suggesting abduction?”


    Before the person outside could reply, a dagger, of moderate Length, was already at his throat.


    Dotson, returning with Grace, also overheard the end of their conversation.


    He was ustomed to handling matters directly overseas, without hesitation!


    The dagger hovered a mere inch from the man’s throat.


    With a subtle movement of Dotson’s hand, it could cleanly sever his throat!


    The person behind him moved to intervene but was halted by a gesture from him.


    Even with a de at his throat, his demeanor remainedposed.


    “Miss Moore, our approach was intended to be polite.


    Was that truly necessary?”


    Hannah sneered, “Just moments ago, you threatened me with impolite actions if I refused toply.


    I don’t yield to threats.


    Since you prefer rudeness, I’ll start.


    ”


    With those words, Dotson’s de made contact with the man’s throat.


    Hannah narrowed her eyes slightly, observing the scene with detached interest.


    Despite this, the man remainedposed, maintaining his smile.


    “I apologize for my earlier presumption, Miss Moore.


    Nevertheless, Master Merlin is eager to meet you.


    I hope you’ll reconsider.


    ”


    Hannah turned away, her tone icy.


    “I want no involvement with the Garza family.


    Regardless of Mr.


    Garza’s intentions, I won’t apany you.


    ”


    After expressing his regret, the man refrained from further insistence, stating, “I apologize for upsetting you today, Miss Moore, and I will not trouble you again.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    ”


    Stepping back cautiously to avoid the de, he inclined his head slightly, “Please give my request your consideration.


    ”


    Hannah responded icily, “Next time, I won’t show any mercy!”


    After she said that, the group instinctively stepped back, widening the gap between them and the car.


    Noticing their reluctance to approach, Dotson firmly shielded Grace as they climbed into the vehicle.


    With a swift motion, he swung open the driver’s door, slid behind the wheel, and revved the engine, propelling the car forward with a determined push of the elerator.


    As the car disappeared into the distance, the man outside maintained his stoic expression.


    He quickly dialed a number, speaking in a matter-of-fact tone.


    “Master Merlin, just so you know, Miss Moore declined the invitation.


    ”


    “Okay, no problem.


    ”


    The voice on the other end soundedposed.


    “We’ll catch her another time.


    Come back for now.
