Hannah continued, “We don’t know what really happened inside, and yet you all want to barge in! Do you not value your lives?”

A few who had been attempting to force their way through reluctantly backed off after hearing Hannah’s words.

Hannah swiftly made her way to the entrance, shooting a pointed Look at Remington.

“A life has been lost; it’s time to call the police.

“But this place is miles away from the city; it’ll take hours for the police to arrive,” Remington countered.

“Moreover, it’s an internal matter among our six major families…”

Hannah’s brow furrowed as she interjected, “Just because it’s internal, should we ignore the law and handle it ourselves?”

She looked at the crowd and noticed the mix of fear and panic etched on their faces.

“Furthermore, the deceased is a member of the Austin family.

If we can identify the perpetrator now, we might just save ourselves the trouble of involving the police.

After saying that, Hannah strode into the room without a backward glance.

When they saw her enter the room, a murmur rippled through the crowd again.

“Why does she get to go in while we are stuck out here?”

“She just returned to the Compton family.

Who gave her the audacity to order us around?”

“Let us through! I need to see my son! Did you do something to him? Did Hannah hurt him?”

“You have been holding a grudge since this afternoon! You are the reason my son’s in trouble, and now you won’t let us in? Are you trying to hide the evidence?”

As Hannah walked into the room, she abruptly came to a stop and turned aro

und to look at the crowd standing at the door.

Half of her immaculate face was cloaked in the darkness, the other half bathed in the Light spilling in from outside.

Her dark eyes gleamed with a chilling intensity as she spoke, her voice cutting through the tension.

“How did such a fool end up becoming the head of a family? After the collapse of the Moreno family and the split into two major families, it’s no surprise that only the Austin family is on the decline!”

The moment those words left her lips, a palpable chill settled over the room.

The stares from the Lyons family and Austin family bore into Hannah.

It was as if they wanted to tear her apart with their eyes.

For years, nobody had dared to dredge up the past since the fall of the Moreno family.

And now, this woman had the nerve to do so.

Wallace, who had been leaning against the wall, frowned when he heard Hannah’s words.

His gaze couldn’t help but flicker toward her through the crowd.

Amelie seized the opportunity to stoke the flames.

“Has Hannah overstepped her bounds? She might have stirred up trouble today.

Perhaps we should consider dealing with her?”

“There is no need.

” Wallace’s expression darkened, but he said with assurance, “Whatever mess she has made, I’ll clean it up.

What’s there to be afraid of?”

“It’s not that I’m afraid, but this is the Lyons’ family territory after all…”
