Listening in, Jenny suddenly pointed at Hannah and exclaimed, “Grandpa! You told me to bring her here.

Aren’t we supposed to handle her?”

“Jenny, mind your manners.

Don’t stoop to their level,” Claire advised.

“Hanna’s your cousin, after all.

Jenny nearly Laughed.

“Grandpa, grandma, are you unaware that Bryson from the Mitchell family will confront our Garza family because of her? How can we just keep her here? Her presence here is a recipe for disaster! We should be using her to negotiate with Bryson!”

Jenny continued, “With her here, we hold Bryson’s ace up his sleeve.

He’ll have to comply with whatever you ask!”

Hannah scoffed, “Don’t think about using me to threaten him.

“Grandma, see? This is how she reacts, and she’s not going to cooperate! There was no need to be nice to her! It was completely pointless! Someone tough like her only responds to harsh treatment!”

Jenny looked at Hannah smugly.

“Why not Let me handle her? I’ll keep her locked up for a few days until she learns to behave!”

Claire’s face hardened.

“Jenny, don’t behave like your uncle!”

“But…”

Before Jenny could say more, Mark interrupted, “Enough.

Prepare a room for Hannah, and let’s drop the subject.

Also, remind your uncle to keep his distance from Hannah and not cause any trouble during this time.

Jenny, visibly upset, complied with Mark’s order without protest and went to have the room prepared.

After Jenny had left the room, Claire gazed at Hannah with warmth.

“Hannah, you’re all grown up now.

We need to share some past events with you.

I know you’re thoughtful.

You’ll understand the Garza family’s challenges.

Throughout the conversation, Hannah remained impassive.

To her, the Garza family were like strangers.

Once the room was ready, Jenny led Hannah upstairs and showed her the room.

“This is your room.

You can stay here.

After those words, Jenny turned to leave, but Hannah halted her.

“Hold on a second.

“Is there something else?” Jenny turned back, clearly annoyed.

“I’m not here to serve you!”

Hannah calmly extended her hand and said, “Please return my phone.

Jenny scoffed, “You can’t use it right now anyway.

It’s pointless.

And remember, you’re in the Garza household.

Even Mr.

Mitchell can’t help you here.

Hannah didn’t lower her hand but continued to stare at Jenny with a firm gaze.

“What are you talking about? Just give me my phone.

You’re not imprisoning me, are you? Shouldn’t I be allowed to make contact with the outside?”

“Hahaha.

Jenny laughed sarcastically and said, “What will you do if I don’t?”

“I’d rather not escalate things, so I suggest you hand over my phone now,” Hannah replied, still smiling.

“What?” Believing she had misunderstood, Jenny looked at Hannah with scorn and said, “You’re not looking for a fight? There’s no way you can beat me in your current state!”
