Hannah, originally the heiress of the Hughes family, was accused of being a "fake heiress" by Chloe at her 18th birthday party. She was subsequently framed by her brother Ethan and fiancé Jasper and imprisoned for five years. After her release, she was forced to donate half a lobe of her liver to Chloe and, to protect her son Noah, entered into a contractual marriage with Lucas. Ultimately, it was revealed that Hannah was the true heiress of the Hale family, Noah was Lucas's biological son, all the conspiracies were foiled, and Hannah regained her family and love.
