Glancing at Hannah, who was just standing there, Jenny bit her Lip and said, “Keep an eye on her.
If she runs off, we're really in trouble!”
With that, Jenny hurried over to help clear the crowd, shooing the reporters out of the way one by one.
As Omar was led into the villa, Merlin called to Hannah and Dotson, “Cwith me!”
Even though Hannah couldn't see, she walked confidently.
Before anyone could catch on, they had moved through the long garden corridor and reached the back garden
gate.
“Go out through this gate here.
Only my people are outside.
The other people won't notice,” Merlin said.
“There's a black car waiting for you.
It's safe.
“But...” Merlin added, his tone turned serious.
“Once you're in the car, what happens on the way out of Muvrand is up to you, alive or not.

Your chances? Well, it’s all about luck.
“Thanks.
Without another word, Hannah followed Dotson out.
Sitting in his wheelchair, Merlin looked at Hannah and said, “You're welcome.
Just remember our deal as long as you make it out alive.
Hannah and Dotson walked out of the manor without any trouble.
Soon, Dotson spotted the black car and helped Hannah get in.
Once they were inside, the car pulled away from the Garza estate.
It wasn’t until the car was well away that the guy in the passenger seat turned to look at Hannah.
“Miss Moore, sorry I'm a bit late.
Are you okay?”
Hannah turned her head and recognized the voice.

“Hey, are you Mr.
Cartwright?”
Layne grinned and said, “Long tno see, Miss Moore.
Surprised you still remember my voice.
Hannah looked puzzled and asked, “Mr.
Cartwright, what are you doing here?”
After explaining everything to Hannah, Layne said, “I'm here to help you.
Mr.
Merlin Garza toldeverything.
But, Miss Moore, | had to inform Mr, Mitchell, so that’s why I'm here today.
Hannah bit her lip, realizing why things had gone so smoothly.
Bryson must have already known everything.

Layne went on, “It was Mr.
Mitchell who set up those reporters.
They'll stir up trouble for the Garza family, buying us smore time.
But Mathews and the other Garzas aren't dumb.
They'll catch on soon.
We need a route out of Muvrand that avoids surveillance.
Hannah lowered her head, thinking for a moment before saying, “The Garzas will probably figure out we're trying
to take a detour.
Taking the long way might just slow us down even more.
She made a firm decision.
“Let's take the shortest route out of Muvrand!”
“That road is pretty risky lately.
If the Garza family has people there, it'll be tough to avoid trouble,” Layne warned.
