“Fabian!” The moment Fabian emerged at the main entrance of the pizza joint, Jason called out and waved at him. He was seated at a table near the main entrance of the eatery with Hannah and Natasha.
“How did you end up here with Hannah?”
Fabian asked casually, acting as if he was really surprised to see them together.
“I haven’t seen Hannah for quite a long time. So, I ask her out for a simple meal.”
Natasha instinctively moved to sit next to Jason so that Fabian could sit next to Hannah.
“I see. What a coincidence to see you here, then.” Fabian nodded and started munching on a slice of pizza offered by Hannah.
Aside from pizza, they had ordered other appetizers as well. When they finally stepped out of the pizza joint more than an hour later, Hannah felt overstuff as she had eaten too much.
“Why did you force yourself to finish the food?”
Fabian pitied her and wrapped her in his arms, massaging her stomach lightly to ease her discomfort.
“I was suddenly craving for the food at the pizza joint and ordered too much. It’s a waste if I don’t finish the food!”
Hannah smiled sheepishly at Fabian. As she was craving pizza all of a sudden, she went straight to a pizza joint with both Jason and Natasha. If she knew earlier that Fabian would join them, she would certainly choose a better restaurant.
“Do you think that your stomach is a bottomless pit?” Fabian chuckled as he tapped lightly on her forehead.
“Fabian, can you please stop your public display of affection? Please don’t neglect Natasha and I. Think about how us singles would feel to witness the romantic moments of you lovebirds.” Jason hinted at Fabian pitifully.
It was really hard for him to accept the fact that such an assertive business elite like Fabian would turn into a caring and loving family man in a split second.
Still holding on to Hannah, Fabian replied, “Kids are not supposed to chime in when grown-ups are having a conversation.” He did not even spare a glance at Jason and simply ignored his protest.
“Let’s go back to the office together.” As it was still working hours, Hannah suggested going back to the office.
“Hannah, you don’t look too good. Why don’t you go back earlier to grab some rest?” Jason advised.
“Yeah, Hannah, you really need to catch some sleep. I know you didn’t sleep well last night. Don’t worry, I’ll bring the things back to the office first and help to settle other things as well,” Natasha tried to talk Hannah into going back as well.
Fabian also sensed that there seemed to be something amiss about Hannah. Hence, he advised her not to go back to the office. He sent her home straight away and accompanied her till she had drifted to sleep before he went back to Phoenix Group again.
“Give me all the information you have on Lyna. Look into all areas, like who she’s been dealing with lately, places she used to patronize, and all the transactions listed in her account. Don’t forget about Yvette too. Investigate properly to see if they are contacting each other.”
Lyna was not someone who could be easily dealt with. As such, he decided to look into every piece of information that was related to her. He knew that he must keep his guard up in order to win against this insidious foe.
It was obvious that she was targeting Hannah as well. If she dares to inflict any harm onto Hannah, I won’t let her off easily!
Just as Fabian was immersed in the investigation on Lyna, the woman in question was as happy as a clam at the moment. She was confident that she was one step closer to her success.
Fabian Norton, no matter how capable you are, I doubt you’ll be able to protect Hannah Young this time around! Snickering to herself, Lyna stared off into the distance, her eyes glinting maliciously.
A man stepped into the police station with a document in his hand.
He was the one assigned by Lyna to deliver the document.
“Sir, I want to lodge a report!”
He claimed that he was holding a document that served as concrete evidence that the wife of Phoenix Group’s president was involved in the smuggling of firearms.
In a split second, the whole police station was filled with chatterings. Has this guy gone nuts? How dare he accused Fabian Norton’s woman? Smuggling firearms? Is this a joke? However, it doesn’t matter if the police did not believe the man, for they could not deny his accusations at the sight of the so-called concrete evidence.
After flipping through the copy of the document numerous times, the chief of the Baykeep Police Station finally instructed his subordinates with gritted teeth, “Head for Fabian Norton’s villa to arrest the suspect, Hannah Young.”
