Many times, when she felt wronged or suffocated with nowhere to vent, she would come to the studio and slowly soothe herself by meticulously cutting fabric.
It was her way of trying to heal herself.
Seeing her stubborn, wronged expression, Mason ultimately couldn’t bring himself to speak harshly to her.
“Alright,” he softened his tone, reaching out to ruffle her hair, “that’s my oversight. I didn’t anticipate this layer of trouble.”
He paused, then added, “I’ve already sent people over. Starting today, someone will be guarding this place twenty–four hours a day. Don’t worry. From now on, no one will dare touch a single thing here.”
Ethan stormed back to the Rowe Estate, burning with a fury that had nowhere to go.
The black sedan screeched sharply across the driveway, as if to spill all of its driver’s anger onto the ground.
He slammed the car door and stepped into the living room, his handsome face twisted with
rage.
Hannah was pacing anxiously in front of the couch.
She was still in her daytime dress, clearly having been waiting for some time.
Seeing him enter, a fleeting brightness appeared on her pale face, quickly replaced by deeper
worry.
She hurried to him, her voice panicked.
“Ethan, you’re finally back!” She stopped in front of him, voice trembling. “There were so many reporters outside just now, saying they wanted to interview you.”
Ethan froze mid–step.
Reporters?
How did they even find this place?
Hannah seemed not to notice the sudden darkening of his expression. She continued, her voice

Her voice choked, tears sliding down just right, looking fragile and helpless.
Those reporters seemed to have misunderstood something. They kept asking about our relationship, even saying that Amelia’s cheating scandal might have something to do with me…
“What?” Ether’s pupils contracted sharply. He grabbed Hannah’s arm. “What did you say?”
His grip was firm Hannah winced but didn’t resist. She simply lowered her head, appearing wronged yet resolute.
I told them there is nothing between us. She sniffed, lifting her tear–blurred eyes to him. Then, I quickly took Isla home. Ethan, don’t worry. You’ve always treated Isla and me so well. How could I ever say anything to put you in a bad spot?”
Ethan’s tightly wound nerves loosened instantly at her words.
Right. Hannah had always been this gentle and considerate.
He exhaled deeply, releasing her arm, the tension in his face softening slightly.
Is Iola okay?” he asked, his voice gentler.
“She’s fine. Hannah wiped her tears with the back of her hand, lowering her voice. “She just cried in her room for a bit. She was exhausted and just fell asleep.
Ethan nodded, looking at Hannah’s tear–streaked face. A surge of guilt washed over him.
He felt he had wronged this mother and daughter too much. And now, his own affairs had frightened them.
“Sorry, Hannah,” he said in a low voice. “This is my fault. I dragged you into it.”
“Ethan, please don’t say that.” Hannah shook her head, cautiously meeting his gaze. Tentatively, she asked, “Is… the situation outside really that bad?”
The question seemed to open a dam in Ethan’s mind.
The humiliation he had endured at the studio from Amelia and Mason’s combined pressure. The chaos of answering shareholder questions back at the company.
He looked around and realized that in the entire huge Rowe Estate, only Hannah was here, looking at him with concern, willing to listen.

The fire of anger that had been building inside gradually melted into a deep, weary frustration.
He slumped onto the couch, rubbing his throbbing forehead, nodding slowly.
“A bit.
“The moment the photos surfaced, Rowe Group’s stock took a hit. We just finished a shareholders‘ meeting, and everyone wants me to come up with a solution.”
He paused, then spoke the thing that embarrassed him most.
“And … Mason is now using the Litginia Project to force me to divorce Amelia.
“If this project stops, the company will lose at least several billion. The ripple effects could devastate Rowe Group like never before.”
“What?”
Hannah instinctively covered her mouth, letting out a short, shocked gasp.
Her eyes shone with genuine panic.
“How can that be allowed? Ethan, Mason is going too far!”
Her heart sank straight to the pit of her stomach.
