Throughout the evening, Hannah had already experienced enough shocks to last a lifetime.

The girl she’d once been trapped inside a storage room with…

Was apparently this kind of person.

Someone powerful.

Someone capable.

Someone others respected.

For the first time, a dangerous thought appeared in her mind.

Maybe…

Maybe Iris could help her.

After Marcus left, only Iris and Hannah remained in the room.

The silence felt strangely heavy.

When Iris looked toward her, Hannah instinctively lowered her head.

The heavy makeup.

The nightclub uniform.

The humiliating situation.

She was convinced Iris must think poorly of her now.

Instead, Iris simply reached for her wrist.

Zane had left behind a first-aid kit.

Without a word, Iris began disinfecting and bandaging Hannah’s injuries.

The unexpected kindness shattered something inside her.

Before she realized it, the words escaped.

“Miss Noir…”

Her voice trembled.

“Could you help me?”

Almost immediately, she hurried to add:

“I won’t tell anyone about your identity.”

“Nothing that happened tonight either.”

Iris focused on wrapping the bandage.

“You can talk.”

The moment Hannah started speaking, years of frustration came pouring out.

Her eyes reddened.

Those men might leave her alone after tonight.

But they wouldn’t stop forever.

“They know where I live.” Her voice cracked. “They’ll keep coming after me.”

The story unfolded much as Iris had already suspected.

Chloe Noir had approached Hannah months earlier.

She’d offered money.

A lot of money.

Chapter 37 The Agreement

In exchange for one thing.

:

Withdraw from the Capital University direct-admission competition.

Capital University had always been Hannah’s dream.

She refused.

And Chloe had never forgiven her for it.

The harassment began almost immediately.

At school.

Online.

Everywhere.

When Chloe learned Hannah worked nights to support herself, Wade Carter became another weapon.

Despite everything, Hannah fought back.

Her grades had slipped for a while.

But she’d dragged herself back to the top through sheer determination..

Then she remembered something else.

“The fake video.” She looked at Iris. “That was Chloe too. She had them spread it.”

Iris considered everything for several moments.

Then she made a decision.

“I can arrange a temporary place for you to stay.”

Hope flashed into Hannah’s eyes.

“But.”

Iris raised two fingers.

“You have to agree to two conditions.”

:

Hannah nodded immediately. “Anything.”

“First.”

Iris’s voice was calm.

“You win the direct-admission spot.”

“Second.”

“After graduation, you’ll tutor a middle-school student for me.”

She was already thinking ahead.

Her schedule would only become busier after graduation.

Noah Hart would need someone reliable helping with his studies.

Hannah didn’t hesitate.

Not even for a second.

“Forget two conditions.” She nearly laughed through her tears. “I’d agree to a hundred.”

That scholarship meant full tuition.

Housing assistance.

A future.

She couldn’t lose it.

A vacant apartment she owned near Capital Preparatory Academy immediately came to mind.

She arranged for Marcus to transport Hannah there later that night.

Only after everything settled down did Iris finally notice the stinging in her palm.

She looked down.

A long cut stretched across her skin.

She must have caught it on broken glass during the fight.

“Boss.”

Zane noticed it immediately.

“Sit somewhere.” He stood up. “I’m grabbing supplies.”

As Zane disappeared into the VIP room, the neighboring suite opened.

Ares Barclay stepped into the hallway.

Several sharply dressed executives followed behind him.

All of them wore polished corporate smiles.

They had barely taken a few steps when Ares stopped.

His eyes landed on a lone figure sitting in a chair near the corridor.

Iris.

“Then we’ll consider the deal finalized.” One executive turned, still speaking. “Thank you for your time, Mr. Barclay-”

He stopped.

Ares wasn’t beside him anymore.

Where had he gone?

Julian didn’t even blink.

This sort of thing had become surprisingly common.

He smoothly guided the confused executives toward the exit.

Meanwhile, Iris sat alone in the hallway.

She was staring at the cut on her palm.

The wound wasn’t serious.

But her skin was pale enough that the blood looked startling against it.

“How did that happen?”

A familiar voice sounded beside her.

Iris looked up.

Instinctively, she curled her injured hand.

“It’s nothing. I got scratched.”

At that exact moment, Zane returned carrying medical supplies.

From halfway down the hall, he immediately spotted a man sitting beside Iris.

His protective instincts activated instantly.

Who was this?

He marched forward, expression cold.
