    Chapter 1539


    Hannah sniffled but avoided answering Steven’s question directly, “I hope Skyler is still alive. I hope


    we’ll see her again someday.”


    Her evasion was, for Steven, a good sign. He tightened his grip around her slightly, “Could it be that


    Zavier couldn’t bear to see Skyler turn to ashes before his eyes, so he convinced himself she was still


    alive?”


    In the year and some months since Skyler’s disappearance, Zavier had spared his fortune worldwide


    search for her. If Skyler was indeed alive, and without anyone to help her evade Zavier’s gaze, it


    seemed unlikely that he would find no trace of her. This led Steven to believe that Zavier might be


    delusional.


    Hannah too understood that the chances of Skyler still being alive were slim, but she quietly hoped


    nheless, “Steven, what if it had been me who died in front of you?”


    Such an ominous question was one Steven didn’t even want to consider, “Don’t talk about things like


    that!”


    Hannah gave a smallugh, “Actually, I have died once before. I was just lucky enough toe back.”


    She was referring to the car ident, which Steven knew about, “Hannah, the Szar family is on the


    brink of ruin. Dani will soon be nothing more than a stray dog. She won’t pose any threat to you,


    there’s no need to be afraid.” When the time came, he would hand Dani over to Hannah to do as


    she pleased.e2


    Hannah looked at him, “You think I’m afraid of Dani?”


    Steven was taken aback.

    Hannahughed again, “The person I’m truly afraid of is you. I thought you were helping Dani get rid


    of me, the obstacle in her path.”


    Steven quickly defended himself, “Hannah, I’ve told you, there’s nothing between Dani and me.


    You’re the only one I love.”


    He said he loved her, but Hannah didn’t know whether to believe him. Could she believe him?


    “Do you love me?” Sheughed again, “The day Dani tried to get rid of me, I called you several


    times, cing all my hopes on you. But I never got through. You have no idea how desperate I was.”


    Several month’s had passed since that incident, but whenever she thought about it, the terrifying scene


    seemed to rey in front of her eyes. Justst night, she had dreamt about the ident. In her dream,


    Steven was holding Dani in front of her. Both of them appeared monstrous and terrifying.


    “Hannah.” Steven tried to say something, but it was toote, nothing he said now could change what


    had happened.


    Hannah continued, “When my car was surrounded and rammed by several others, when someone


    stood in front of me threatening to kill me, all I could think about was you. I wondered why you had to


    be so heartless, even if you didn’t love me. We were divorced, but we had been married for several


    years. Was Dani really that important to you?”


    Steven tried to defend himself, “Hannah, it’s not like that.”


    Hannah cut him off, “Let me finish what I have to say.”


    Steven nodded, “Go on.”


    Hannah continued, “I only have one question for you, and I hope you’ll answer me honestly.”


    Steven replied, “Go ahead.”


    Hannah posed her question, “You always said there was nothing between you and Dani, so why did


    you choose to divorce me when she left the country? I wanted to divorce you for so long, but you never


    agreed. Why did you suddenly want a divorce when she was leaving?”


    Upon hearing this, Steven’s tension eased significantly. Her concern was on this matter. Did it mean


    she still had feelings for him? He reached out and gently ruffled her hair, “Have you forgotten about that


    other incident that happened around the same time?”


    Hannah retorted, “I’m the one asking the questions here. Either you answer me properly, or let’s


    pretend I never asked.”

    Steven replied, “It’s because of Skyler, who we just mentioned.”
