Brother Davis was conflicted for a while before he spoke again, "Recently, there's been talk in the circle that this John Lynch seems to have... signed with Hannah Winter's studio."
Ever since Brother Davis found out that Hannah was Louis Snyder's "ex-girlfriend," he had always avoided mentioning that name in front of Louis.
He was worried that saying the wrong thing would set off Louis.
But now that Louis suddenly brought up John Lynch, it was clear that he must have known something, so Brother Davis felt it wouldn't be right to keep it from him.
In fact, it wasn't a big deal at all.
Many artists who were established in their careers wanted to find a "successor" for themselves.
However, looking at the treatment John Lynch was getting now, it seemed more like he was starting from small roles; Hannah probably wasn't planning on pushing him aggressively.
After all, not everyone has the fate to be an overnight sensation with just a little push.
