He continued to curse under his breath as he struggled with the controls.
Hannah and Bryson exchanged a look, a silent agreement passing between them.
With a quiet determination, Hannah rose and took the lead, stepping forward.
"Who are you?" Her voice was so soft, it bordered on a whisper, more a gentle probe than a confrontation.
The man in the operating room was taken aback.
He quickly turned around and demanded, "Who's there?" Upon recognizing a woman, his tension eased.
He scrutinized Hannah from head to toe and queried, “What brings you here at midnight? Were you invited to this island as well?" Instead of responding, Hannah returned his scrutiny and remarked, “I didn't notice you around the island today. Were you invited? I find that hard to believe.

"You're full of questions.
What does it matter if I was invited or not?" His guard lowered in the presence of what he perceived as a harmless woman.
"Should I inform the owner about an intruder? Does this mean there's a thief among us?" "Thief?" The man laughed heartily.

"You should go now.

Hannah remained motionless.
"You didn't invite us to play a gwith you tonight, did you?" Atticus's expression faltered, his gaze flickering uncertainly.
"Well.
Hannah cut to the chase.
"I'm aware of the island's secrets.
No need for lies to fool me.
You're here in the dead of night for the sreason I am.

Evaluating him, Hannah continued, "You're only free to move now because he doesn't see you as a threat.
After luring you to the island, he concocted sstory to strip you of apy real power here. " Atticus, caught off guard, stammered, "You.
"
"I used to think you were nothing but a dumb rich fella. The content is on E fella novelenglish.net! It appears you do recognize danger.
You're not as foolish as I thought.
" "Hey! Watch your mouth!" Atticus's expression grew stormy.
"What do you mean by 'foolish'?"
Hannah responded icily, "If you were wise, why haven't you uncovered the island's mysteries after years of running your father's empire?"
