Ch. 1391..1400
Chapter 1391
“Alright, Hannah. Let’s go there.”
Fabian came here with Jason because the latter had the relevant information and witnesses to prove
that Hannah was innocent.
When Jason arrived, he saw that Fabian was hugging Hannah, who was pale with fright.
“Hannah, don’t worry. This is just some misunderstanding, and you’ll be fine.”
Jason was young but reliable. After comforting Hannah, he dragged Fabian to the side to discuss the
case.
“I’ve seen the so-called contract in the police station. Also, I have hired an expert, and he confirmed
that it was not signed by Hannah. Hence, the police won’t let go of the lad who made the report.”
However, the damage was done as the rumor about Hannah selling firearms had been sp and reached
more than fifty million viewers.
The rumor on the internet is getting out of hand. What should we do?
As an entertainment journalist, Hannah knew to what extent the impact was when news reached more
than ten million viewers. In other words, at least ten thousand people have read it and are aware of the
case. It will be an uphill task to clear my name!
Meanwhile, Fabian’s face darkened at the turn of events.
On the other hand, Lyna’s plan had backfired on her because the man who made the report based on
her instruction was arrested, and the police were determined to investigate it thoroughly to find out the
truth.
After all, selling firearms was a grave matter. Earlier on, the so-called informant talked confidently as if
he knew the ins and outs of the case. Also, he even claimed that the firearms dealers were waiting for
Hannah to complete the deal in a hotel.
Even though Hannah was proven innocent, they couldn’t stop the rumor by merely explaining the
incident to the public. After all, Lyna could easily rile the netizens up and make them believe that
Hannah got away by utilizing her connections. Such a negative perception would affect both Hannah
and the company.
“Have you dealt with the police?” Fabian gave it some thought before he asked Jason.
“Not yet. The police are insistent on seeing Hannah and bringing her to the hotel to check if the
firearms dealers are still there. Given the gravity of the case, we can’t stop them from doing it.”
If the police could arrest the so-called firearms dealers, Hannah would be proven innocent. In that
case, their explanation would be convincing, and the public would eventually stop spreading the rumor.
“Since the space in the hotel is quite limited, only a small number of our people can join this operation.
The situation won’t be favorable for us even if we outnumber them.”
Fabian glanced at Jason and said in a deep voice, “Besides, you should know that I won’t possibly
involve Hannah in any dangerous situation.”
“How about this? I’ll discuss with the police to let Natasha disguise as Hannah to meet the firearms
dealers. Since they’ve never met Hannah in person and only saw her face in pictures, I’m sure they
won’t recognize her. With that, we can also prove that Hannah has nothing to do with the case. What
do you think?”
In fact, Jason had thought for a long time before coming up with this idea. Nevertheless, he still had to
get Fabian’s permission to carry it out.
“No, I can’t let Natasha take the risk. Since this incident happened because of me, let the police bring
me to the hotel. I’ll be fine with the police accompanying me.”
They didn’t notice that Hannah was already standing behind them, and she stopped them once she
heard that they were planning to let Natasha disguise as her.
“No way! You can’t go!” Fabian rejected it without hesitation.
He could never let Hannah risk her life as it was even more terrifying than putting himself in danger. I’ve
already done so much to protect her. I can’t let her take the risk!
“But you can’t ask Natasha to go on my behalf either! She is just a girl, and she isn’t aware of
everything that is happening. How can you guys make such a reckless decision?”
Chapter 1392
Deep in Hannah’s heart, Natasha was like her sister. As such, she couldn’t believe her ears when
Jason proposed to let Natasha replace her.
“Wouldn’t it haunt your conscience?”
“Hannah!” Natasha came over and grabbed Hannah’s hand. “Don’t worry. I’m just going to put on some
make-up and take a look in the hotel. It’ll be alright. I’m willing to go on behalf of you.”
As a bodyguard, Natasha was used to doing something like this. Nonetheless, Hannah wasn’t aware of
her true identity and thought she was an ordinary girl.
How can they let a defenseless girl take such a risk? They are firearms dealers with guns who will pull
the trigger once they can’t reach an agreement!
“No way!”
“I’ve made up my mind. Hannah, you can only stay with me today. Jason, bring Natasha out and get
prepared,” Fabian decided coldly.
He believed that Natasha was the best candidate for the mission. Besides, her presence could prove to
both the police and the netizens that Hannah wasn’t involved in any firearms deal. Instead, they would
realize that some malicious people had set all this up to frame Hannah.
“Fabian!”
Hannah’s jaw nearly dropped when he insisted on putting Natasha in danger. Was he being nice to
Natasha only to utilize her later?
Jason then brought Natasha out. Before he closed the door, he stole a glance at Hannah, worrying that
she would quarrel with Fabian.
“Hannah, don’t worry. Natasha wouldn’t be in danger.”
He didn’t intend to tell Hannah that Natasha was a bodyguard yet because he felt that she would be
better protected if she was oblivious to Natasha’s identity.
“How could you be so heartless?”
Hannah couldn’t change Fabian’s mind, but deep in her heart, she knew that he did it for her sake.
Hence, even though she was pissed off, she could hardly vent her anger on him. After yelling at him,
she sat on the chair and glared at him without uttering another word.
Fabian received his assistant’s call once he exited the police station.
“Mr. Norton, a lot of reporters came to our office, requesting for an answer as to why the stock price of
our company is fluctuating…”
Fabian got impatient even before his assistant could finish. Do I have to show up to deal with such a
trivial matter? What’s the use of having you as my assistant?
“I’ll give you fifteen minutes to solve this issue.”
Since Fabian was already in a bad mood, he couldn’t help but fly into a rage once his assistant
reported the seemingly trivial matter to him.
“Mr. Norton, this is not the main point. Most importantly, Lyna seems to be hiding among the journalists
here. If you don’t show up, I’m afraid she’ll run away,” knowing that Fabian was irritated, his assistant
quickly added.
“What? Lyna is there? Alright, I’ll be there right away,” Fabian said in a deep voice.
“Assign some men to bring Mrs. Norton back to the villa. I’m sure you’re aware of the consequences if
something bad happens to her,” Fabia instructed his subordinates.
Initially, he planned to stay with Hannah to protect her. But now that Lyna, the mastermind who framed
Hannah, finally showed up, he couldn’t let her escape.
When Fabian arrived at the office, the surveillance camera showed that a woman who looked like Lyna
was sneaking around.
He chuckled all of a sudden. Initially, he did not know how to retaliate without any information on his
enemy’s whereabouts. But now that she came to him, there was no way he would show her any mercy.
Lyna, do you wish to possess Phoenix Group so badly? Dream on!
Meanwhile, when Fabian’s assistant gazed at him, a shiver ran down his spine. He hadn’t felt such a
strong aura exuding from Fabian in quite a long time. Hence, he stopped worrying about Fabian but
began to pity Lyna instead.
Fabian would never let anyone take advantage of him. If someone did that to him, they would suffer
unimaginable consequences.
Chapter 1393
“Mr. Norton, I’ll make the arrangements.”
The assistant was relieved. He was too anxious just now, so he forgot that Fabian had always been a
decisive and assertive man.
In no time, Fabian went downstairs and began to explain to the reporters the reasons that led to the
fluctuation in his company’s stocks.
Meanwhile, the reporters below the stage were busy taking notes and snapping photos.
Although Fabian was giving a speech, he had been observing Lyna the moment she showed up. He
knew that she deliberately avoided his gaze as though she was afraid that he would see through her.
“Alright. If you have any questions, just raise your hand. I’ll definitely answer them.”
Fabian took a seat and looked at the reporters smilingly. Meanwhile, he was also waiting for the show
to begin.
“Mr. Norton, as for the fluctuation in your company’s stocks, some experts said that your company is
about to bankrupt. What is your view on this?”
“Hmm, this is pure nonsense. Since Phoenix Group is the top company in Chanaea, the consequences
of its bankruptcy will definitely be devastating. Hence, we always have some special means to prevent
it from happening,” Fabian explained loudly.
“Mr. Norton, may I know what the means are?”
“I’m sorry that I can’t tell you.”
“Mr. Norton, we heard that your company’s stocks fluctuated recently due to manipulation by some
traders to bring down Phoenix Group. May I know if the rumor is true?”
Meanwhile, Hannah had returned to the villa, accompanied by a female bodyguard from Remdik.
As Hannah saw the two bodyguards standing at the door, she couldn’t help but shake her head.
Although she didn’t like to see bodyguards around, she understood that Fabian assigned them to
protect her due to the gravity of the situation.
“Who do you think framed me?” Hannah sat on the couch and asked.
At this moment, Hannah was pale-faced because she had just opened the company’s forum. The
pinned post was about her alleged involvement in selling firearms, which received tens of million views.
To make matters worse, the number of views and comments kept increasing every minute.
Some accused her of treason, while others claimed that she married Fabian because of his wealth. In
short, the post was full of all sorts of unpleasant comments.
Hannah felt her hands burning upon reading the comments and instinctively threw her phone away.
When the bodyguard saw that Hannah was in a bad mood, she consoled her, “No matter who the
mastermind is, Mr. Norton will get to the bottom of it. Don’t worry.”
She was unsure about what happened in the past, given that she and Natasha only started working a
few days ago. But she didn’t want to poke her nose into Hannah’s business as her mission was only to
ensure the latter’s safety.
Moreover, she would have continued to protect Hannah secretly if Natasha wasn’t assigned another
task.
Hannah put on a helpless smile upon hearing her words. How could she know who the mastermind is?
Suddenly, she received a call from Lyna. She quickly picked up the call and asked, “Hello?”
“Hannah, where are you? W-Winson’s been admitted to the hospital,” Lyna said sobbingly over the
phone.
“What? What happened?” Hannah asked nervously, knitting her brows.
“He said he dreamed of you when he was sleeping in the car. Since he seldom had dreams, he was
bewildered and decided to visit you. However, when he was on his way… he met with a car accident
and is still unconscious.”
Lyna seemed to be choking back tears.
“Okay, which hospital are you at? I’ll be there right away.”
At this moment, Hannah was on pins and needles. She would be devastated if something terrible
happened to her only brother.
Chapter 1394
“He fell asleep in the car while he was on a trip with his friends. We brought him to the nearest hospital
so that he could get treatment as soon as possible. We’re at Lincoln Hospital now. I’ll send you the
location later.”
“Alright. Don’t panic. I’ll go there right away.” Hannah hung up the phone after she finished.
Seeing Hannah’s anxious expression, the bodyguard couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?”
“My brother got into a car accident. I’ve to go to the hospital now,” Hannah replied.
“But… Mr. Norton doesn’t allow us to leave the villa.”
The bodyguard deliberated for a while and advised Hannah against it. After all, Fabian reminded her
that someone was probably lurking in the shadows to harm Hannah in these turbulent times.
“I don’t care. My brother is in danger now. He’s my biological brother and my closest family member,”
Tears began to well in her eyes when she said that.
Winson and Leo were the only people who were related to her by blood. Nonetheless, because
Hannah didn’t recognize Leo as her father anymore, Winson became the only family she had.
All of the bodyguards in her villa were in a dilemma. Since Winson was Hannah’s brother, she had
every reason to visit him. However, Fabian also specifically instructed them to keep Hannah in her
room.
“Did you guys hear what I said? I’m leaving now. Do you want to stop me?” Hannah asked while staring
at the two bodyguards at the door.
One of them took a deep breath and replied, “I’m sorry, Mrs. Norton. But Mr. Norton said that you are
not allowed to go anywhere before he returns. Therefore, please go back to your room.”
Hannah was a little furious upon hearing that. Hmph! Of course you can stay aloof. After all, it’s none of
your concern. But if your family gets into an accident, will you still be able to stay calm?
She gave them a ferocious stare and left.
Unexpectedly, she went straight into the kitchen to grab a knife. Then, she rushed to the door and
yelled, “Will you still try to stop me now?”
Unperturbed, the two bodyguards tried to persuade her, “Ms. Young, we can talk about it. Please put
down the knife.”
Meanwhile, the bodyguard from Remdik was shocked. She knew that she would not be able to stop
Hannah if the latter wanted to hurt herself.
“I’m leaving. Make way.”
Hannah put the knife near her wrist to threaten the bodyguards.
“Mrs. Norton, please don’t do that. Let us call Mr. Norton first, and…”
“Why should you call him? Why can’t I visit my brother when he’s in trouble? Who’s going to be
responsible for it if he loses too much blood and ends up in a precarious situation?” Hannah screamed
at them.
Given that Winson had a rare blood type, his situation would be dire if he lost too much blood and
couldn’t receive a blood transfusion in time.
“I’m going to say this one last time. I’m leaving. Get out of my way!” An icy glint flashed across her eyes
when she said to them.
The two bodyguards were in a tight spot. Since Fabian specifically gave them the order, they couldn’t
bear the responsibility of letting Hannah leave.
Hence, they didn’t utter a word but remained standing in front of the door to stop her from leaving. Left
with no choice, she made up her mind to cut her wrist slightly. The next moment, her wrist began
bleeding.
The female bodyguard from Remdik immediately yelled at them, “Make way! Do you want Mrs. Norton
to cut her wrist?”
Upon hearing that, they immediately retreated to the side. After all, they would be in serious trouble if
Hannah was hurt.
“I’ll go with you,” the female bodyguard said to Hannah.
Hannah didn’t reply but nodded in response. With that, both of them walked out the door.
The female bodyguard claimed that she was Natasha’s sister. However, the truth was that Fabian
assigned her to protect Hannah.
Chapter 1395
“Come on.”
Lyna called out to Hannah the moment she walked out the door. Her car was parked right in front of the
gate.
Hannah nodded and got into the car.
Lyna paid no heed to the female bodyguard beside Hannah as she instructed the driver to start driving.
“Let’s go. Nothing must happen to Mrs. Norton. Report this matter to Mr. Norton as well.”
The bodyguards Hannah followed closely behind in another car.
“Why are you here, Lyna? Aren’t you taking care of Winson at the hospital?”
Hannah couldn’t help but ask.
“Oh, I came specially for you.”
Lyna paused for a moment. “Winson is in very bad shape as of this moment. He needs a blood
transfusion as soon as possible. That’s why I’m here.”
Hannah’s heart skipped a beat upon her words. “Is it life-threatening?” she asked worriedly.
How am I going to explain it to Mom if anything happens to Winson?
“The doctor said… if he doesn’t get a blood transfusion within an hour… he might…” Lyna had a
pained look on her face as she spoke.
“Mr. Norton, Lyna is running in the direction of the washroom. What should we do?”
Fabian sneered. Hmph! Do you really think you can escape?
“Get her. Don’t let her escape.”
With that, Fabian waved at his assistant. His assistant immediately said to the journalists, “Ok, that’s all
for today. We can talk about everything else another time.”
“Uhh…”
The fellow journalists couldn’t help but sigh and left, feeling dissatisfied.
“Hehe, got you, Lyna. Let make this clear with you—nobody messes with my wife.”
Fabian then walked out of his office as he waited for Lyna to be captured.
However, one of Fabian’s trusted aide rushed over and reported, “Mr. Norton, that Lyna i-i-is a fake.”
Fabian frowned and asked, “Did you get any information out from her?”
Fabian’s trusted aide lowered his head. “Nothing. We only know she’s from the black market.”
“Send her to the police then. Accuse her of spreading rumours that Phoenix Group is going bankrupt.”
Fabian waved his trusted aide away impatiently.
“Yes, Mr. Norton!”
His trusted aide got up and left.
Just then, Fabian’s phone rang.
“Hello, Mr. Norton. M-Mrs. Norton went out.”
“What? Didn’t you hear what I said?”
Fabian frowned when he heard the news.
“Mrs. Norton threatened us with her life. That’s why we…”
“Never mind. Follow her. Also, send me her location.”
Fabian couldn’t be bothered with the bodyguard’s explanation as he cut him off.
He figured if the lady they captured was a fake; then, the real Lyna must have gone for Hannah.
Fabian immediately went after Hannah after receiving her exact location.
He couldn’t help but worry as he stared at the red dot moving on the screen. Lyna was the type to do
everything in her power in order to achieve her goals.
Hannah would be in deep trouble if she falls into the hands of Lyna. Moreover, Fabian had taken over
all of Lyna’s shares in Blackwood Group. He figured she wouldn’t go easy on Hannah since she hated
him with a passion.
Fabian silently prayed for Hannah’s safety. He would turn Baykeep inside out if anything were to
happen to Hannah.
Very soon, the car Lyna and Hannah were in came to a stop.
Chapter 1396
Hannah was shocked and suspicious when the car stopped in front of an abandoned factory. She
asked, “We’re here?”
Lyna nodded. “Yes. Let’s go.”
Lyna alighted the car before Hannah could ask anything else.
Hannah followed behind after giving it some thought, while her bodyguard checked out their
surroundings before getting out of the car.
However, Hannah was captured by two men the moment she stepped out of the car. They were
working under Lyna’s instructions.
“W-What are you doing?”
Hannah screamed in fright. She had yet to realize how much danger she was in.
Hannah’s female bodyguard immediately realized the predicament they were in, but quickly unclenched
her fist when she looked up.
She realized Lyna and her men all had guns. Thus, it wasn’t time for her to make a move yet. If she
did, not only would she not be able to save Hannah, but Lyna would also put her guard up if she failed.
And that would make it harder for them to escape.
She arched her brows and let her guard down. Two men came over and captured her.
“Hehe. My dear Hannah, should I say you’re cute or stupid?”
Lyna walked over to Hannah, lifted her chin up with her index finger and said in a teasing tone.
“Lyna, w-what are you doing?”
Hannah totally didn’t expect that Lyna would hurt her. She just couldn’t believe it as she was so kind
and good to her at the hospital.
Lyna couldn’t help but shook her head when she saw Hannah’s reaction. “Hehe, my cute little sister, do
you still not get it? I brought you here with the purpose to capture you. Honestly speaking, I think we
would have gotten along well if you were not my enemy. You’re foolishly cute. Hahaha.”
Hannah widened her eyes in disbelief. “So you lied to me about Winson?”
“Hehe, of course. You wouldn’t have come along so quickly if I hadn’t made up that story.”
Lyna sneered at her own wit and Hannah’s stupidity.
Hannah breathed a sigh of relief upon the knowledge that Winson was alright.
“Hehe, your courage is commendable. How can you be worried about someone else when you yourself
is in deep trouble?”
Lyna turned around as four other men pushed Hannah inside.
Hannah finally realised how much trouble she was in. However, she figured this was better than having
anything happen to Winson.
Lyna sat down on a chair.
“Why? Why would you do this?” Hannah couldn’t help but ask her.
Hannah couldn’t figure out why Lyna would do such things to her. She was her sister. What exactly
does she want? Money? I don’t think so. Although Blackwood Group wasn’t a big company, it wouldn’t
be a problem for Lyna to lead a comfortable life. However, Hannah couldn’t come up with any reason
for Lyna to kidnap her besides money.
“Hehe, what do you mean why? How dare you ask me that?”
Lyna’s blood boiled when she heard Hannah’s stupid question.
“Why wouldn’t I dare? I didn’t do you wrong. Why are you doing this to me? Was it all an act in the first
place?”
Hannah was agitated. Lyna’s schemes were truly terrifying if it was all an act.
“Hehe. You didn’t do me wrong?”
Chapter 1397
Lyna leaped to her feet, walked towards Hannah, bent down to eye level with Hannah, and said, “Ok,
I’ll tell you everything today. You Listen well.”
“My mother and Fabian’s mother arranged for us to be married 6 months ago. I would have been Mrs.
Norton if not for you. Do you understand me?”
Lyna bellowed.
Hannah was shocked upon hearing her words. She wasn’t aware of any of it.
“Heh. I won’t keep it from you anymore at this point. I was the one behind the accident on your wedding
day, Yvette just so happened to have the same idea. Unfortunately, her carelessness alerted Fabian,
else you would have been dead by now. Luckily for me, her lackey was unreliable, so she took the
blame for me.” Lyna reminiscenced.
“What? Y-You…”
Hannah couldn’t believe her ears. Who would have thought the woman she looked up to as her sister
would try to kill her.
“I should have been the one riding in the wedding car that day if not for you.”
Hatred flashed in her eyes as she spoke. “You took everything away from me. I thought that
unfortunate brother of yours is going to die for sure, but you came along. Not only did you save him, but
you also inherited part of the family fortune that should have been mine.”
Hannah couldn’t help but shudder at Lyna’s true colors. Why would she even think that I am going to
inherit part of her family fortune? That’s impossible.
Hannah wasn’t about to acknowledge Leo as her father. Not now, not ever. Would she even want to
inherit his family fortune if he offered? Of course not. However, Lyna didn’t think so.
“Isn’t Winson your brother as well? How could you try to hurt him?”
Hannah’s mind went blank for a moment there.
She had nothing to say to the way Lyna was treating her, but Winson was her brother no matter what.
Although they didn’t share the same mother, the grew up under the same roof.
“Heh? Winson? What use is he to me? He’s just around to inherit part of the family fortune that should
have been mine. The only way father will pass on everything to me is if he is dead.”
“You are heartless,” Hannah said coldly.
Hannah felt like she wasn’t human anymore but a cold-blooded animal. This woman is void of
compassion. She would even go so far as to kill her own brother just for the sake of the family fortune.
“Hehe, why are you so surprise? Money talks. That stupid brother of yours will understand when he
grows up. I actually came up with another plan with you in it to avoid any more troubles in the future.
But an insider gave me away. Or else you would have been in jail by now.”
Lyna sneered at the look of disbelief on Hannah’s face as she revealed her schemes.
Hannah came back to her senses abruptly. She finally understood why the police accused her of selling
firearms. This was all part of Lyna’s schemes. Winson signed the paper as well. He’s not…
Right. Nothing happened to me since the contract has been switched. So, Winson should be fine too.
Hannah breathed a sigh of relief upon that thought.
“I must say Fabian is really something. He saved both you and Winson. I was originally planning to
make him go bankrupt but fell into his scheme instead. How dare he give all my shares away to
Winson?”
Lyna looked at Hannah with hatred. She lost everything because of this woman. If not for Winson’s
shares, she would have destroyed Hannah’s face by now.
Chapter 1398
“Way to go, Fabian”
Hannah cheered in delight when she heard what Fabian had done to Lyna.
Hannah hated this kind of person from the bottom of her heart. The kind who would do anything for
money was the worst.
“Why are you so happy? Have you forgotten you’re still at my mercy?”
Lyna smiled instead of getting angry. Victory was just around the corner.
“Fabian will be at my beck and call with you around. It wouldn’t be a problem now even if I asked for a
billion.” Lyna chuckled.
Hannah gritted her teeth. “Hmph! You won’t get your way. Fabian’s not that stupid.”
Hannah was secretly very worried about Fabian. He had been very good to her after their wedding
ceremony. What if she allowed Lyna to get away with the things she did just because of how much he
cared for her?
“Hmph! Take her away!”
Lyna figured it wouldn’t be easy to take Fabian down. After all, she had single-handedly experienced
how smart and powerful Fabian was.
After Hannah and her bodyguard was taken away, Lyna rubbed her temple and called Fabian.
“Hehe, hello, Mr. Norton.”
Lyna said smilingly the moment Fabian picked up the call.
“Lyna, you’d better let Hannah go, or else…”
Fabian didn’t elaborate since he believed Lyna knew what he meant.
“Hehehe, stop kidding me, Mr Norton. You’re not going to let me off even if I let Hannah go.”
Lyna couldn’t be bothered with Fabian’s threat anymore after being driven to the edge.
“How about this? Give me that contract of Blackwood Group and 1 billion and I will let Hannah go.
What do you think?”
Lyna listed out her conditions to Fabian.
“Ha! Is this a threat?”
Fabian sneered. Why? Do you think I’m just going to let you have your way?
What Lyna didn’t know was that Fabian was already making his way to the abandoned Factory where
Hannah was at. Moreover, Hannah has an extraordinarily strong and powerful female bodyguard by her
side.
“I have no choice if you want to look at it that way.”
Lyna smiled and continued, “I will send you my bank account number and my location. I think it would
be best if you think twice before making a decision.”
“Of course.”
Fabian replied as he stared at the red dot on his phone which was not far from his current location.
“Do as Lyna says.” Fabian instructed his assistant after hanging up the call.
His assistant hesitated before agreeing to it.
Of course, Fabian wasn’t backing down. He was doing it on purpose in order to get Lyna to put her
guard down and ensure Hannah’s safety.
At the moment, Hannah was scared, angry and worried for Fabian.
The four men who were guarding them were having a chat causally, and would only check on them
from time to time.
The female bodyguard had already d herself by this time and was inching her way towards Hannah.
“Ms. Young, I’ll untie you,” she whispered.
Hannah was surprised with her capabilities when she heard her words.
She nodded and slowly inched her way towards the female bodyguard.
“Hey, what are you guys doing?”
One of the four men noticed something was off between Hannah and her bodyguard as he stood up
and walked over.
He was quickly joined by the other three men.
Chapter 1399
The female bodyguard realized luck wasn’t on her side. It would be hard for them to escape if she were
to alert the others.
She aimed a kick at one of the men’s calf and he immediately fell.
The rest of the three men realized she wasn’t easy to deal with as they quickly reached for their pistols.
As soon as they did that, the female bodyguard reached for the pistol belonging to the man lying on the
ground. She fired a shot at one of the men and rolled to Hannah’s side.
Hannah’s arms had been d by the female bodyguard just now. Then, she quickly untied her legs while
the latter was busy taking their kidnappers down.
The shot fired by the female bodyguard hit one of the three men while the other two quickly split up.
They then fired shots at Hannah since they knew Hannah was more important than the female
bodyguard. They would still have room for negotiation as long as they had Hannah.
They aimed at her leg since they were afraid of accidentally killing her.
The female bodyguard had a heightened sense of danger since she used to be an assassin. She
rushed to Hannah’s side and pushed her away.
Hannah fell to the ground and almost blacked out for a moment as pain shot up her spine.
The female bodyguard wasn’t in good shape as well. She got shot in the shoulder when she pushed
Hannah away and her wound burned.
However, she didn’t have time to check on her wound but quickly turned around, rolled to Hannah’s
side, and fired at the other two men.
“We have to hurry. They’ll be here soon after hearing the gunshot.”
The female bodyguard said to Hannah.
Hannah’s mind went blank. She felt so overwhelmed after getting pushed to the side that she went
weak in the knees and was at a loss for words.
Bang! The warehouse door burst open and in walked Lyna and another man. He was the best fighter
among the five. Hence, Lyna told him to stay by her side to protect her.
“What? Wow, I didn’t expect you two to be able to take them down. But, you’re not leaving this place
today!”
Lyna then signaled the man standing beside her.
Just then, two shots were fired at the door behind Lyna. She shuddered in fright when she saw the
bullet holes as she almost died from the shots.
Lyna’s subordinate checked out their surroundings through the crack of the door. “Miss, we need to
leave now. A dozen or so of highly skilled fighters are closing in on us.”
Lyna’s blood boiled. Am I going to just let Hannah get away this time around?
She refused to admit defeat. However, there was nothing she could do about it. The most important
matter at hand would be to stay alive. She was well aware she wouldn’t get another chance again if
Fabian captured her.
Lyna glared at Hannah, took the man’s pistol and fired a few shots at Hannah. “Let’s go!” she said
through gritted teeth.
The female bodyguard breathed a sigh of relief after Lyna left. However, she couldn’t help but frown as
she turned to look at Hannah’s condition.
Hannah looked really pale as a pool of blood dripped onto the floor.
“Hannah!”
Just then, Fabian burst in.
“Mr. Norton!”
The female bodyguard gestured to reveal her location to Fabian.
His eyes widened in shock when he saw the pool of blood at Hannah’s feet, so he bent down and took
her into his arms.
Hannah smiled in relief when she saw Fabian. She knew for sure he would come.
“Don’t worry, Hannah. You’ll be fine.”
Hannah finally closed her eyes after hearing his words. She wanted to get some rest after everything
that had happened. However, she missed out the tears glistening in Fabian’s eyes.
Chapter 1400
Soon, Hannah was sent to the best hospital in Baykeep while Fabian stayed by her side.
After Lyna left, she decided to call Yvette.
“Hello. Who’s this?”
Yvette found it odd that someone actually knew this phone number of hers.
“I’m Lyna.”
“What? Why are you calling me? You should leave now. There’s no way Fabian is letting you off the
hook.”
Yvette did not want to cross paths with Lyna anymore as she did not want to be implicated.
“I have something important to tell you. It’s up to you whether you want to listen. But if you regret in the
future, don’t come to me.”
After speaking, Lyna hung up the phone as she was confident that Yvette would be lured over.
Afterward, she sent her location to Yvette.
When she left, she had clearly seen a pool of blood on the floor. If I’m not mistaken, it should be…
Lyna and Yvette agreed to meet at a café in the city center. It was already evening when Yvette arrived,
so there were not many people in the café. The place had a tranquil atmosphere despite its downtown
location.
It offered public seating and private rooms that provided much-needed privacy. Therefore, it was the
favorite café among celebrities and socialites.
Right then, the phone in Yvette’s bag vibrated. It was a text from Lyna that read: I’m in room 323.
After glancing at it, Yvette walked toward the most secluded room in the café and opened the door to
enter.
Lyna seemed to have been waiting for some time. She was scrolling through her phone while taking
sips of her coffee, looking slightly impatient.
“What is it?” Yvette asked after taking the seat across from her.
Lyna was never a good-tempered person to begin with, so it was only normal that she was irritated
after waiting for so long, and hearing Yvette’s tone of voice made her even more livid.
However, she held back her anger in order to get Yvette to work with her. Putting down her phone, she
said with a smile, “You’re so busy that you can’t even be punctual, Ms. Tanner.”
“Not really. I just don’t want to see you. So, what’s it that you want to say?” Yvette shrugged as she
replied unflinchingly.
She did not think that she should be afraid of Lyna. Besides, she knew that Lyna must be trying to seek
help from her, so she became bold.
The look on Lyna’s face changed. Then, she simpered and explained, “It’s okay if you don’t want to see
me. I just want to talk about a collaboration with you. That’s it.”
Collaboration? Yvette’s interest was piqued, so she became nicer to Lyna.
“What collaboration?” she said after taking a sip of her coffee.
“Now that Hannah has lost her baby, our biggest threat is gone. Have you ever thought about us
working together to deal with Fabian?” Lyna proposed with a smile.
In fact, she was taking a wild guess, but she knew that she was likely right about it. If Hannah had
injured another part of her body instead, the woman with her would have helped her stop the bleeding,
but she didn’t. So what does it show?
Yvette glanced at her with a look of disdain. How is it possible that Hannah is pregnant? Even if she’s
pregnant, Fabian wouldn’t have let anything happen to her.
“How did you know?” Yvette asked.
“To tell you the truth, it was my doing,” Lyna admitted calmly. Since Fabian had found out about her,
there was no need for her to keep a low profile anymore.
Yvette could not help but swallow hard. There’s no way Fabian will let Lyna off after she caused
Hannah’s miscarriage. Is this woman trying to take me down with her? On second thought, Fabian may
be no match for Lyna, considering that she was able to escape unscathed. If I work with Lyna and show
up as Fabian’s savior, he will become mine, won’t he?
