“Miss Moore, what on earth are you suggesting?” Merlin’s innocent gaze met hers.

“You seem unhappy with the Garza family, not me.

Uncertain of Merlin’s motives, Hannah responded coolly, “Yes, I’m really not happy with the Garza family.

But let me be clear, I don’t like you either.

Merlin remained unfazed by her frosty words, as if he had anticipated her animosity.

With a knowing smile, he remarked, “Even if I offered to help you take down the Garza family, you wouldn’t entertain the idea of teaming up with me, would you?”

Hannah’s eyes narrowed in suspicion.

Had he lost his marbles? Why was he openly declaring his intention to target the Garza family in front of her?

“Have you had your head examined lately? I think you should get your brain checked.

Merlin chuckled, clearly amused.

“Miss Moore, you love to joke around.

Hannah’s expression remained stern.

“I’m not joking.

I mean it.
