Chapter 289

“Hannah, hop in. It’s cold outside.” I told Hannah.

Gloria and Bonnie were constantly pressuring me to team up with them, which was a no-go.

Hannah nodded, silently getting into my car. I didn’t even look at Gloria and Bonnie, and I just drove straight off.

In the car, I asked, ‘Hannah, did you meet Bonnie when she was dating your brother?”

“A few times.” Hannah sighed, ‘Bonnie once came to our house with Oscar.”

I got it. It looked like they were really hitting it off then.

Then Hannah added, “Actually, I didn’t really like her, but Oscar… Never mind”

She stopped mid-sentence, but I was curious. Hannah didn’t like Bonnie back then? That was unexpected.

After all, Bonnie was a pure college girl back then, totally Oscar’s type.

Hannah didn’t want to talk anymore, so I didn’t push her.

When we got home, Neil wasn’t back yet, so I told the maid to start preparing dinner.

Hannah and I sat in the living room. She was wearing a long-sleeved jacket, so her wrists were exposed whenever she reached out. When she picked up the cup in front of her, I saw a bruise on her wrist.

I was puzzled. Did she hurt both her neck and wrist when she fell?

Then Hannah suddenly started sobbing softly, “Ms. Finch, could you do me a favor? I’m at my wit’s end…”

“Go ahead.” I sensed she had something to tell me.

Just then, Neil came back. As soon as he walked in, he saw Hannah crying. His face was cold.
