“Let’s not jest.

Dotson is temporarily tagging along; he didn’t come prepared with the essentials, so I’m giving him a tour.

Besides, it’s his inaugural visit to the country, and I promised to show him around for a bit.

Linking arms with Hannah, Lydia mentioned, “Early next month, we’re scouting an island’s development.

Dotson can join us.

The three entered the shopping mall.

Hannah inquired of Lydia, “Are there islands in Valmere actually worthy of development?”

Lydia replied, “No, the island we plan to develop is located in Palmetan.

That city is surrounded by the sea on three sides and by mountains on the other, making it an exceptionally beautiful environment.

It’s an ideal location for living and traveling.

Interestingly, there’s a partially developed island there that has been abandoned.

I believe it holds significant promise for development and is definitely worth exploring.

Hannah frowned slightly.

“Despite its promising future, why was the development abandoned halfway?”

Lydia said, “I heard that the buyer of the island had passed away, leading to the project being halted.

Now, his son intends to auction the island as he lacks the funds to continue its development and wishes to sell it.

The clarification was satisfactory to Hannah, who refrained from further inquiries and simply agreed, “Alright, I’ll accompany you at the start of the upcoming month.

“I have faith in you.

” Lydia approached Hannah with a coffee in hand, embracing her.

Hannah accompanied Lydia to purchase a substantial amount of cosmetics before they approached the sole upscale boutique in the mall specializing in luxury dinner dresses.

“My custom evening gown has arrived.

Please assess the fit and make any necessary adjustments,” Lydia requested, ushering Hannah into the shop.

“Of course.

Upon entering, a shop assistant approached, her expression shifting upon seeing Hannah.

“B…”

Noticing others in the shop, Hannah gestured discreetly to prevent further conversation.

The attentive shop assistant quickly adjusted her statement.

“ALlow me to guide you inside for a viewing.

Lydia politely informed the shop assistant, “I had my evening gown tailored here on the fifth.

I received a call notifying me that the gown had arrived at the store.

Please locate it for me.

“Very well, Miss.

Please come with me.

I will verify your phone number.

The three entered the store.

Hannah accompanied Lydia to the reception desk.

Dotson proceeded alone to the VIP area, set down his belongings, and sat patiently awaiting their return.

Before long, Dotson’s striking appearance caught the eye of the shop’s clientele.

“Look! That young man is quite handsome.

He appears to be from abroad.

“He’s charming.

I was tempted to approach him.

But he seems unapproachable with that cold expression…”

Tyshawn, feeling bored with his phone, overheard the girls’ whispers nearby and glanced over involuntarily.

Indeed, he caught sight of Dotson’s chiseled features, dressed in casual attire.

Tyshawn scoffed, “Just because he has a prominent nose and large eyes? he’s considered handsome?”

The girls seated near Tyshawn fell silent, though inwardly they were filled with curses.

“If this boy isn’t attractive, then are you?” they thought.

It was common knowledge that Bryson stood as the most handsome of the Mitchell family.

Compared to Bryson, the remaining Mitchells appeared unremarkable; only Bryson exuded charisma.

Yet the girls had no option but to speculate.

Rumors abounded about Bryson’s extended business trip overseas, leaving him absent from their midst.

During their hush, Hannah and Lydia approached with a store assistant.

“Madam, this is our exclusive fitting room for VIPs.

Please step inside and try on the dress.

Lydia turned to Hannah.

“Hannah, kindly wait for me outside.

I’ll join you shortly.

“Of course,” Hannah replied, replaceing a seat nearby.

When Tyshawn glimpsed Hannah’s profile earlier, he felt a twinge of recognition.

Hearing Lydia address her as Hannah only solidified his certainty.

He kept his gaze fixed on Hannah.

When she turned toward him, his eyes widened involuntarily.

Her beauty had notably surpassed his previous memory of her.

Tyshawn’s heart warmed involuntarily.

As he wielded power in the present, memories of his time under Bryson faded, replaced by a growing sense of arrogance.

Hannah approached and took a seat beside Dotson.

Before either could speak, a shadow fell across them.

“It’s been a while, Miss Moore.

I didn’t anticipate encountering you in this place.
