"Nice.
So now you're making up stories to cover for her, huh? You guys are something else.
" The two men's legs gave out, almost bringing them to their knees.
Just in time, Hannah chimed in, "Something minor happened last night, but it wasn't my fault.
I know Amelie is in charge of Jade Paradise.
Why would I go there to cause you trouble? Last night, a few guys wouldn't leavealone.
At first, I tried to just bear with it, hoping to avoid any .
Hannah gestured towards the Compton brothers.
"They were there.
They can backup.
And if you're still not convinced, I'm sure there are other ways you can check.
Eventually, those guys got bolder when they saw I was on my own.
I had no choice but to defend myself.

Absolutely," Keith quickly agreed.
"We're both witnesses to what she's saying.
" "Shut up!" Wallace gave Keith a quick look.
Then he turned his attention back to Hannah, giving her a secret once-over.
"Are you okay? Did you get hurt?" "Nope, I'm fine.
But I did cause quite the stir.
I ended up hitting a guy over the head with a bottle.
Turns out he's from sbig-shot family, or else he wouldn't have gone whining to you.
" Wallace let out a derisive laugh.
"Don't worry about them.
Even if that guy had been seriously hurt, I'd have your back.
They had the nerve to bother you last night.
I'll make sure they regret it.
They won't dare ccomplaining toagain.
Hannah raised an eyebrow.
"Really, Mr.
Compton? And how am I supposed to trust you wouldn't pin it on me? I tried talking to you this morning, but you were anything but welcoming.
" Wallace pointed a finger at her.
"Unbelievable! You ungrateful girl! I knew exactly what went down last night.
I was upset because those two idiots dragged you to that place.
And you, just going along with it carelessly.
What if something had happened to you?" The two Compton brothers stood by awkwardly, at a loss for words.
It was clear to them their father was overly indulgent with his real daughter.
Despite knowing Hannah was the instigator, he couldn't bring himself to scold her.
Instead, he shifted all the blonto them.
Trent stepped forward, taking responsibility.
"Dad, it's on us.
We didn't think things through.
We're ready for whatever you decide.

You know how I am.
They couldn't convinceotherwise, and they couldn't say e to coming with me. Please, don't hold it against them.
I'm here to talk about something important.
Seriously.
" Wallace glanced at her.
"What's this important thing you're talking about?"
"I've joined the organization but I'm any of the & not part of any of the seven branches yet. Recently, a lot of new people con board.
I need to know where I stand in the organization.
"Hannah brought up a concern rather than sticking up for Charlie.
She didn't hide her ambition as she posed her question.
Naturally, Wallace got her point.
He tapped the desk and looked straight at Hannah.
Rather than giving her an answer, he questioned, "So, what positionare! you hoping to get in my organization?" Hannah smiled.
"I don't ask for much.
Just the authority to dismiss a branch leader.
