Hearing Jarvis say that, Hannah let out a sigh of relief, "I'll send you the address right now. I'm about to meet Daniela in ten minutes. I figure I can keep her busy during the time, so you've got to get here in twenty or I'll be toast."
Jarvis said, "If I say I'll be there, then I'll be on the dot."
Hannah said, "My knight in shining armor, all my hopes are riding on you."
Jarvis said, "Don't worry."
Getting a solid confirmation from Jarvis, Hannah knew he would come. But what she didn't expect was what Jarvis would say in front of Daniela. Everyone thought she wasn't good enough for Steven, they all called her shameless, and even she herself thought she had sold herself to get what she had now.
Yet, there was this one guy, who defended her with a firm voice. He told her that her relationship with Steven was consensual, that no one was superior or inferior. For a moment, her image of Jarvis seemed even greater.
Daniela's face twisted with rage at Jarvis's words, "Jarvis, you're a man. Do you know what you're saying?"
Jarvis said, "What does being a man have to do with it? You're a woman. Does that mean you can bully a girl?"
Daniela was furious, "You!"
Jarvis continued, "Guys can play the field, and you'd say they're just having fun. But if a woman does something, you'd call her cheap and shameless. Wake up, it's not the dark ages anymore."
Daniela said, "This woman seduced Steven, using her body to get things she never could have had. Isn't that cheap and shameless?"
Daniela glared at him, "You think I don't want to take action? Now Jarvis wants to protect her."
Brant didn't take Jarvis seriously, "Miss, what's the big deal if Jarvis wants to protect her? As long as we act first and deal with Hannah, would the Alexander family really turn against us over an actress?"
Daniela stopped in her tracks. Seeing that she was wavering, Brant continued, "Miss, Steven's not here, and Hannah can't reach him. This is our only chance. If we don't act against Hannah now, when Steven comes back and finds out the truth, he might tighten his protection of her, or even take action against us. It'll be a lot harder to deal with Hannah then."
Daniela turned to look at the closed door, "This is my only chance. I have to seize it."
Before, she tried to take action against Hannah, but was stopped by Steven before she could start. This time, she decided to make her move while Steven was in Europe for a meeting.
