Deep in Hannah's heart, Natasha was like her sister. As such, she couldn't believe her ears when Jason proposed to let Natasha replace her.
"Wouldn't it haunt your conscience?"
"Hannah!" Natasha came over and grabbed Hannah's hand. "Don't worry. I'm just going to put on some make-up and take a look in the hotel. It'll be alright. I'm willing to go on behalf of you."
As a bodyguard, Natasha was used to doing something like this. Nonetheless, Hannah wasn't aware of her true identity and thought she was an ordinary girl.
How can they let a defenseless girl take such a risk? They are firearms dealers with guns who will pull the trigger once they can't reach an agreement!
"No way!"
"I've made up my mind. Hannah, you can only stay with me today. Jason, bring Natasha out and get prepared," Fabian decided coldly.
He believed that Natasha was the best candidate for the mission. Besides, her presence could prove to both the police and the netizens that Hannah wasn't involved in any firearms deal. Instead, they would realize that some malicious people had set all this up to frame Hannah.
"Fabian!"
Hannah's jaw nearly dropped when he insisted on putting Natasha in danger. Was he being nice to Natasha only to utilize her later?
Jason then brought Natasha out. Before he closed the door, he stole a glance at Hannah, worrying that she would quarrel with Fabian.
"Hannah, don’t worry. Natasha wouldn't be in danger."
He didn't intend to tell Hannah that Natasha was a bodyguard yet because he felt that she would be better protected if she was oblivious to Natasha's identity.
"How could you be so heartless?"
Hannah couldn't change Fabian's mind, but deep in her heart, she knew that he did it for her sake.
