Chapter 1992
Remington said firmly.
The men remained firm, and one of them said, Please, Master Remington, dont make this difficult for us.
You know very well what will happen to us if we disobey your father.
We wont see tomorrows sunrise.
Your father wants to see you? Hannah inquired.
Remington gave a brief nod without taking his eyes off the men.
Then go ahead.
Theres no need for you to be worried about me.novelbin
I can handle myself.
But the men blocking their way had no intention of letting Hannah go.
Miss Moore, you will need to come with us as well.
A N G E L A s L I B R A R Y Hannahs eyes narrowed in the dim light.
If I decide to leave, are you confident you can stop me? Feel free to try, Miss Moore, but wed prefer not to resort to force, one of them replied.
However, Remington gently took Hannahs wrist to calm her.
Come along with me.
I promise nothing will happen to you.
Not one to be a coward, Hannah noted that the two men were reluctant to fight and nodded.
Fine.
With that, they were led to a quiet villa in the back.
After their identities were verified by two guards, Hannah and Remington were escorted inside.
Remingtons father was seated in the living room, bearing a strong resemblance to Remington, but with a face marked by age.
Peterson sat beside him, looking very attentive and saying nothing.
Father, Remington said, standing beside Hannah.
His fathers eyes swept over Hannah appraisingly before he smiled and remarked, A beautiful young lady, Remington.
You certainly have good taste.
Facing Hannah, he continued, Miss Moore, Ive heard your father is still unconscious.
Do accept my sympathies.
If I werent so preoccupied with family matters, I would have visited my old friend.
Smiling faintly, Hannah replied, Thank you, but you wouldnt be able to see him even if you did visit.
So, theres no need to worry about my father.
With a sigh, Remingtons father continued, I feel somewhat guilty.
Your fathers brother approached me earlier today about a potential collaboration.
Just as she expected, Wilfred was still pursuing his schemes.
However, Remingtons father seemed to be considering the offer.
Just as Hannah was thinking about this, Remingtons father continued, However, I know youre the rightful successor to your fathers place, so I havent agreed to anything yet.
Thank you for your trust.
My father will recover soon, Hannah replied confidently.
Remingtons father nodded and said, Alright, Ill have you escorted to your room.
You shouldnt be up too late, given the race tomorrow.
About the horse race… Hannah began.
