Chapter 276 Afraid You'll Sentence Me Chapter 276 Afraid You'll Sentence Me The air in the car suddenly grew heavy. Even Hedy sensed something was off, lying down in the back seat and watching the people up front with its big, dark eyes. After a long silence, Barnaby broke the silence. "Aren't you going to explain yourself?" "Explain what?" Hannah shot back, turning to look at him. "Why did you go home with him? Why did you cook for him? And you just let him push you around and didn't even resist!" Barnaby demanded, his voice cold. Hannah couldn't help but laugh.

"Why should I explain anything Barnaby, did you forget we're already broken up? What right do you have to ask me for an explanation?" Barnaby fell silent, regretting that he'd ever agreed to break up with her. "But that night when you were drunk, you said something else," Barnaby said, his voice softening, sounding a little hurt. Sometimes Hannah thought it was a real shame Barnaby wasn't an actor. He could change his face faster than anyone, slipping into a role in a split second. If he ever went into showbiz, even Oliver would have to bow down to him.

But then she remembered how Candy had teased her about her drunken mess the next morning, and she suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. She protested, "You said I was drunk!" Barnaby replied, "Drunken words are sober thoughts." 'I'm not getting into this with him,' Hannah thought, turning to stare out the window. Just then, Barnaby's work phone started ringing. He eased the car to the side, popped in his Bluetooth earpiece, and picked up. "Barnaby, we tracked down the sniper. He was from a foreign merc group called 'Reapers'.

But as soon as we caught him, he swallowed poison and offed himself," the guy reported. Barnaby's brows knitted. He knew the "Reapers" well, Scepter House had teamed up with them plenty of times before. The "Reapers" were dead serious about keeping their clients' secrets. Every one of their mercs carried poison, ready to die before spilling anything. Their methods were even more brutal than Scepter House's. "Also, Ms. Carter's already onto me," the guy added. Barnaby shot a look at Hannah, and it hit him why she was acting so cold.

'That psycho Spencer must've said something to mess things up between us, Barnaby thought. "Got it," Barnaby said, hanging up. He steered the car onto the highway ramp ahead. Hannah noticed they weren't heading back to Kinswood, and her heart tightened. "Where are we going?" she asked. Barnaby replied, "I'm taking you somewhere." An hour later, they rolled into the Scepter House villa district and headed straight for the Ursa Major underground garage. Hannah hopped out, clutching Hedy, and took a look around. The place was packed with all kinds of limited-edition supercars.
