Chapter 1942
“Understood!”
Upon arriving at the airport, they discreetly entered the waiting area.
Once on the plane, Hannah checked her phone again and saw that there was still no word from Bryson.
She wondered whether she should try calling him once more, but a flight attendant approached her and said, “Sorry, ma’am, the plane is about to depart.
Please switch your phone to airplane mode or turn it off.

Hannah nodded, choosing not to make the call.
She powered down her phone instead.
“Boss, before we boarded, I spoke to Dilan.
But, there was no new information from the Compton family as most of the key figures were in the hospital.
I also heard Wilfred, the family head’s younger brother, has been trying to enter the ward repeatedly, and the two sons barely managed to keep him out.
”
Shaking her head, Hannah sighed and said, “Those fools didn’t even think to reach out to me directly, and I had to hear it from Maloney.

No point dwelling on it now.
We’ll discuss it when we land.
”
The nearly ten-hour flight felt like an eternity to Hannah.
With her phone off, she was cut off from any news about Wallace’s condition.
She was scared of receiving the worst news the moment she Landed.
Her anxiety grew with every moment as she checked her phone repeatedly, feeling more helpless than ever.
Finally, the plane touched down just as dawn broke.
As soon as they disembarked, Hannah powered her phone back on, only to see several missed calls.
“Dotson, grab my luggage.
I need to make some calls.
”
Several were from Bryson, but a few were from Keith.
The sight of Keith’s name made her heart skip a beat.
Could it be that her worst fears had come true?
Choosing not to return Bryson’s call, Hannah called Keith instead.
The phone connected instantly, and Keith’s voice came from the other end.
“Hannah! Have you just landed?”
“Yes, I just got off the plane.
How is Wallace doing?” Even as she asked, Hannah’s heart sank, bracing herself for bad news.
Keith replied, “He’s still in the ICU.
The doctors say his body is too frail to eliminate all the toxins, so he remains under close observation for now.
But… Wilfred is just outside.
Trent is handling his men, but we can’t hold out much longer.
The Compton family has been fractured into two opposing sides.
While some remain loyal to our father, others believe he’s near death and are turning to Wilfred.
Thankfully, Mr.
Pierce helped us fend them off for a while, but his family has their hands full these days, so he can’t stay long.
”
Hannah’s expression turned steely, and she quickened her pace.
“Why didn’t you inform me as soon as this happened?”
Keith hesitated for a moment before finally confessing, “Just before Wallace lost consciousness, he insisted we not tell you he had been poisoned…”
Shaking her head, Hannah interjected, “Don’t get so emotional about it.
Even though Wallace and I don’t get along well, I won’t let anyone take advantage of him when he’s down.
Hold on for a while.
I just arrived at the airport and will be there shortly.
”
“Got it.
Stay safe.
