Anticipating the intruder’s next move, Hannah grabbed his wrist, twisted his arm, and shoved him face up to the floor, stopping his attack at once.


    As the intruder lost strength in his arm, the dagger slipped from his hold and fell to the floor.


    Pinning the intruder to the floor with her knee on his back, Hannah picked up the dagger and pressed it against his throat from behind.


    “You think you can take me down with your inept skills? Who sent a loser like you to kill me? Speak!”


    The intruder hissed, trying to get away, but Hannah didn’t give him the chance to.


    In a swift move, she stood up and stepped on the intruder’s ankle so hard that he screamed in pain.Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    “So you can make a sound? I thought you were mute.


    ” Hannah scoffed, then let out a dramatic sigh.


    “Killing someone isn’t in my itinerary for tonight, so I’ll just ask you a few questions.


    If you answer them honestly, I’ll let you go.


    ”


    The intruder refused to say a word and only looked daggers at Hannah.


    Unfazed by the intruder’s murderous re, Hannah bent down and broke his other arm without warning.

    The cracking sound of dislocated bones filled the room, followed by the intruders painful howl.


    Only then did Hannah lifted her foot on his ankle.


    Crossing her arms, she said, “I had no choice.


    I’m afraid you’ll hurt me if I left you unscathed, so I broke your arms.


    ”


    Pulling a chair from the side, Hannah sat down before the intruder and asked coldly, “Who sent you?”


    Except for his whimpers, the intruder refused to open his mouth to answer.


    “Why are they after me?” Hannah continued to ask unhurriedly.


    The intruder only red at her.


    “Forget it.


    I wanted to give you a chance, but you wouldn’t take it.


    ”


    Hannah tapped her fingers on the chair gently, an oddity she had picked up from Bryson.


    Tilting her head to the side, Hannah regarded the intruder with a raised brow and said, “Drop the act.


    I know you understand me.


    Did Amelie or the Garza family send you?”


    Keenly observing the intruder’s expression, Hannah noted, “So it’s the Garzas.


    Let me guess.


    They told you I was here, but you got the wrong room, so you missed the perfect opportunity to finish me off.


    Is that what happened?”


    When the intruder still didn’t answer, Hannah continued, “Who from the Garzas sent you to kill me? Is it Merlin? Seems not.


    Jenny? Looks like it’s not her either.


    ”


    Realizing Hannah tried to decipher him through his reactions, the intruder closed his eyes and turned his head away.


    Hannah scoffed, regarding him coldly.


    “That’s no use.


    Even if you don’t tell me, I’ll know who’s behind it, so you’re wasting your chance to save your life bying clean right now.


    ”


    The intruder opened his eyes and red at Hannah.


    “You’ve offended someone you shouldn’t have.


    I might have failed to kill you today, but they’lle for you no matter what!”


    Hannah chuckled coldly and shook her head.


    “You think I’m scared?”
