Hearing Samuel's offer, Hannah immediately shook her head. "There's no need. This is Lionel's responsibility. We shouldn't get involved."
Samuel looked at her, a confused expression on his face.
He couldn't understand how she could so readily trust Lionel with this. After all, if Lionel chose not to investigate, the story would keep trending online for days.
"I know you're worried about me, but don't be. He'll definitely investigate this."
If asked why she was so confident, she wouldn't have a concrete answer. It wasn't really confidence, but more of a test to see if he would genuinely investigate if she didn't interfere.
After all, he'd been full of promises lately; she just wasn't sure if he would follow through with action.
Seeing her resolve, Samuel didn't press the matter. He simply instructed his family to continue suppressing the online chatter and to investigate who was constantly pushing the topic back into the spotlight.
Meanwhile, Lionel had discovered that Sandra was now in Roxa. Just as he was preparing to go after her, his mother suddenly called and told him to come home.
Before he could even respond, she had already hung up.
Lionel pinched the bridge of his nose, a headache already forming.
His newly appointed assistant, Leo, who was previously his deputy, saw his dilemma and couldn't help but speak up.
"While we know she's in Roxa, we can't be sure we'll be able to apprehend her just by showing up. This involves crossing borders; we'd need to contact the local police for assistance first."
