The Real Heiress Is Coming Back (Hannah Carter) novel Chapter 285

Chapter 285 I’m Coming With You

tris turned around and caught Kyson’s uneasy expression. And this was his place, after all.

“Kyson, what’s up? You don’t look so good,’ she asked, pretending to care.

Kyson snapped back swallowed nervously, and played dumb. this, what’s this? It looks just like those prenatal pills you used to take.’

You know about this?’ Iris stared at him, her eyes sharp and mixed with resentment.

Kyson forced down his panic and hugged her arm, acting sweet. I always pay attention to your stuff, Iris. I really want to help you find out who switched your pills.”

Iris’s heart eased a little hearing his words.

She’d adopted Kyson from the orphanage because he was so well-behaved and always knew how to win people over She’d kept him by her side ever since.

Over the years, she’d watched him grow up and knew exactly what kind of person he was. She was sure he’d never do anything to hurt her.

The next day, the pharmacist’s report came in. The pills turned out to be the same toxic ones Daisy Reese had used before, not the prenatal pills Hannah Carter had provided.

Iris let out a sigh of relief. If these had been Hannah’s prenatal pills, Kyson would’ve been the prime suspect, since the pills had been found in his backyard.

Deep down, she just couldn’t bring herself to believe Kyson could ever do something like that.

Iris couldn’t make sense of what Hannah meant, so she grabbed the report and headed straight to Hannah’s clinic.

Hannah was seeing patients in her office. After finishing up, she handed things over to her grandmother and headed back to the west wing. Before going in, she calmly dialed Dorian’s number.

Dorian was in the middle of a meeting with his department heads when Hannah’s name flashed on his phone. He was both surprised and a little flattered. He’d had her number saved for ages, but this was the very first time she’d ever called him herself.

He immediately paused the meeting and picked up, trying to sound casual. “Hey, Hannah?”

“Did you get the contract with MoeMoe signed?” Hannah asked.

Dorian was caught off guard. ‘How does she know about that? I don’t remember ever mentioning it to her, he thought.

The last time he went to Kinswood to negotiate with MoeMoe, everything was going smoothly, but for some reason, they suddenly pulled out of the deal.

So, he made another trip to Kinswood and asked around. Eventually, he heard rumors that someone powerful was unhappy with him and was planning to buy out MoeMoe, so they put the partnership with Scott Group on ice.

Without the deal, Scott Group couldn’t ship out any of their pre-sold products during the 618 promotion, which would have turned into a PR nightmare. Dorian spent two days wracking his brain, trying to figure a way out.

But last night, out of nowhere, MoeMoe’s CEO reached out and said they could proceed with the deal, and even sweetened the offer with an extra 2% profit.

So, Dorian headed back to Kinswood early this morning to sign the contract, and then rushed back to the office for a meeting with his department heads. And right then, Hannah called to ask about it.

Did Hannah help me out with this?’ Dorian wondered.

‘Otherwise, how could she have called me right at this moment he thought.

He was sure that was it, and a wave of gratitude hit him. “Yeah, the contract’s signed. They even threw in an extra 2% profit. I’m putting that extra profit straight into our Obsidian Pearl search fund.”

Hannah thought she must’ve misheard. “Wait, you’re actually looking for the Obsidian Pearl? And you set up a whole fund for it?”

“Yeah, don’t worry. We’ll definitely find the Obsidian Pearl for you Dorian promised.

Hannah was speechless.

‘Fine, whatever makes you happy, she thought Successfully unlocked!

Iris had been waiting in the west wing living room for a wine wurunan finally finished her call and walked in. Iris immediately stood up and handed her the report. “The test resus are in. It’s not the medicine you gave me before.”

“I know. It’s Daisy’s special pills,” Hannah said as she sat down a rosewood chair and glanced at her WhatsApp messages.

Chapter 285 I’m Coming With You

She hadn’t heard a word from Barnaby since he took the photos ast night.

“How do you know?” Iris asked, but then realized she was being silly. Hannah was a miracle doctor. She could tell the ingredients and dosage of any medicine just by sniffing it. She was basically a walking drug detector.

“So, is there a problem with that?” Iris asked again.

“Did you figure out who buried them there?” Hannah asked back dodging the question.

“Not yet. That spot is right in a blind spot for the cameras, and hardly anyone ever goes there, so there aren’t any witnesses. Yesterday, too many people showed up and any traces were trampled over. I messed up. I should’ve protected the scene right away, Iris admitted.

‘Kyson suddenly came to mind. He’s the biggest suspect right now. Even if those weren’t the real pills, how did he even get his hands on these toxic knock-offs?’ Iris wondered.

‘And why would he even want them? What was he trying to do?” she thought.

Hannah let out a frustrated tsk at how slow things were moving just about to say something, when there was a sudden commotion outside.

“Hey, you can’t go in without permission!” someone called out.

“Out of my way! Enough already. I’m his master!” came a sharp retort.

Right then, Hannah saw Spencer storm in, with Joe hurrying after him, clearly having failed to stop him. “Hannah, he- Joe began, flustered.

“It’s okay, you can head out,” Hannah said calmly to Joe, reassuring him with a nod.

Joe replied with a quick “Alright,” but couldn’t help giving Spencer a worried glance before finally stepping out.

Spencer didn’t give a damn about manners. He swaggered over grabbed a bottle of red wine off the rack, poured himself a glass, and plopped down right across from Iris. “Well, look who’s here, the famous Miss Thole.”

Iris frowned, watching him act like he owned the place. There was definitely something off between him and Hannah. ‘Wait, isn’t Hannah supposed to be with Barnaby? So what’s up with her and Spencer?’ Iris wondered, feeling more and more confused.

“You should head home and just take care of yourself and the baby. Don’t bother with that investigation for now,” Hannah said quietly to Iris.

She’d wait until the end of the month to meet with Allen and see what he actually wanted to say.

Iris found Hannah’s behavior a little strange, but she still stood up. As she was about to leave, she couldn’t help but ask, ” What’s your relationship with him?”

“It’s none of your concern, Miss Thole,” Hannah said indifferently.

Iris lowered her voice, “Just a heads up. Uncle Barnaby really doesn’t like Spencer. If he finds out you’re close with him, he’s probably going to be pissed.”

Hannah was speechless.

“So, you’re really building a chip for the Thole family?” Spencer cut straight to the point when Hannah came back in. He’d already caught the news before he came, but just wanted to confirm it with her.

“And what if I am?” Hannah shot back, not bothering to hide her impatience.

Since she didn’t deny it, Spencer caught on right away. He shot her a teasing smirk. “Barnaby’s not joining you, is he?”

Hannah just stared at him, not saying a word.

Spencer kept talking, not waiting for her reply. “He hates the Thole family way too much. No chance he’d help them build a new chip. If he ever wanted in on chip development, he’d go straight to Xenith Systems Group. So, I’m tagging along with you!”

‘Looks like you really do get Barnaby, Hannah thought. ‘But it’s not that he’d go work at Xenith Systems Group. He’s the guy in charge there.’
