ALL of a sudden, Dotson chimed in.
“I may not have heard what they were saying, but I definitely caught something.
”
He paused, cing his fork down carefully, his gaze fixed on Jalen “I spotted the name ‘Garza’ on the business card he handed my boss.
”
“yhat? Garza?” Jalen and Edwin eximed simultaneously.
Edwin’s voice sounded urgent.
“Someone from the Garza family, you say?”
Dotson shook his head.
“I’m not familiar with this Garza person, but the boss seemed on edge about them.

Edwin took a deep breath, his appetite evaporating instantly.
“I need a moment alone.

“What’s the matter?” they asked.

“Don’t worry about it; let’s just eat.

The attackers didn’t seem to recognize her.

Hannah buried her face in the pillow, took a deep breath, and pushed away her own thoughts.
“That’s impossible.

The people sent by the Garza family to abduct her before had targeted her instantly; they wouldn’t randomly attack someone else, would they?
While Hannah was lost in her thoughts, her phone suddenly buzzed on the bedside table.
Snatching up the phone, she nced at the screen, noting an unfamiliar number, but decided to answer it anyway.
