Chapter 289


    My question seemed to catch Hannah off guard as she turned to me, asking in return, "You didn''t


    know?"


    "Hmm!" I nodded, "I don''t remember asking. You said you were here because of my parents''


    arrangement, I assumed it was Bet''s doing. I trust him, so naturally, I trust you! No need for further


    questions."


    Hannah chuckled mischievously, "And now you''re asking?"


    "By curiosity!" I didn''t hide my thoughts, "With such impressive skills, you can''t be just an ordinary


    person! How would my parents know someone like you?"


    "Yes, I work for Mr. Richardson!" Hannah replied confidently, "For 8 years!"


    "Oh wow!" I eximed, thinking to myself, I''ve been away from Ronan for twelve years, but this girl has


    been working for him for 8 years. Somehow, it felt odd that during the years I lost, she had always been


    there.


    "That long?" Imented, a littlete on the uptake.


    "Yes, I was assigned to him right after my special training ended!" She disclosed my curiosity without


    any hesitation, and it sounded so grand.


    Just the term ''special training'' sounded cool, especiallying from a woman like her.


    "Working in hispany?" I was genuinely surprised, looking at her enviously, "May I ask your age


    then?"


    "I turned 26 this year." Hannah answered straightforwardly, without any hint of evasion, "To be precise,


    I follow his orders as a part of his special team, not just thepany!"


    My appetite suddenly faded. This was too enviable, being able to be by his side, knowing all his


    secrets, "You...do you know about him..." I found myself unable to continue, after all, Ronan was a man


    of secrets. I didn''t know if Hannah knew about Bet''s hidden identity.


    Seeming to understand my thoughts, Hannah directly answered the question I was about to ask, "I''m


    his off-the-books team member."


    I asked in confusion, "What does that mean?"


    She pondered a moment, as if thinking about how to answer my question, then smiled and said


    seriously, "That means I am part of his entourage, but my identity is not publicly disclosed."


    I understood at once, looking at her and confirming seriously, "So, ordinary people don''t know you


    exist, but you are under his secretmand, right?"


    She looked at me and nodded in satisfaction, "Smart! That''s exactly it!"


    Something struck me, and I looked at Hannah and asked, "Then you must know, how did he get

    injured?"


    Hannah''s expression faltered, seemingly surprised by my question.


    I hurriedly said, "You don''t have to answer!"


    Then I pretended to be calm and continued to eat my meal, but I was extremely curious inside,


    anxiously waiting for Hannah''s reaction.


    I guessed this might be a sensitive topic or a special no-go zone for them, with certain secrets involved.


    Otherwise, I remembered when I asked Logan, he simply avoided answering. But I think Logan must


    know the details.


    Sure enough, Hannah pondered for quite a while before looking at me, a hint of difficulty in her eyes.


    I quickly reassured her, "Never mind, pretend I didn''t ask, I...I was just curious."


    Seeing me say this, Hannah seemed a bit embarrassed and quickly exined, "I can''t go into specifics,


    but I know he was injured while saving a friend. He was badly hurt, face even unrecognizable.


    Afterwards, he became as you see him now!"


    Hannah''s exnation was very general, but I was still very satisfied.


    She continued, "Afterwards, the higher-ups had no choice but to y along, giving him a new identity, a


    "Oh..." I listened, shocked, what kind ofrade required him to sacrifice himself so? I didn''t dare to


    ask.


    I knew I couldn''t show too much interest, after all, they have their own rules. Since they keep this


    matter confidential, there must be a reason for it.
