“Look, I’m not trying to pick on your scars.


    There is no need for you to be so wary around me.


    ”


    Hannah’s eyes were cold as she scornfully asked, “Do you think you’re like him when you say that? I’m grateful for your help.


    I appreciate you rescuing me this time.


    But my family’s problems? They’re not your concern.


    ”


    Hannah reminded him, “I have nothing to do with you now.


    ”


    The originally rxed atmosphere between them turned as tense as a coiled spring.


    Bryson sat in silence, gazing at Hannah with intense eyes.


    “Would you feel better if he were here instead of me?”


    The way Bryson spoke was unlike anything Hannah had heard since he changed.


    She raised her eyes to Bryson and replied, “It’s not a big deal.


    I still hope that our future won’t be chained to our history.


    Neither of us did anything wrong.


    We’re just not meant to be.


    There’s no need to force anything.


    ”


    Picking up her belongings, Hannah nced at the bandage on Bryson’s arm and said, “I’ll give you a 10% share in the east districtnd as a token of gratitude.


    ”


    A sudden smile crossed Bryson’s face, but his words came out icy as he fixed his gaze on Hannah.

    He got straight to the point.


    “Miss Phillips, our boss agreed to see you because of Mr.


    Cartwright.


    My boss instructed me to treat you courteously.


    He’s aware you’re different from the rest of the Phillips family members.


    However, our boss has decided not to work with the Phillips Group anymore.


    He’s firm on his decision.


    Please return, Miss Phillips.


    ”


    Lydia slid the business proposal across the table to the person facing her and said, “Take a look before you decide.

    ”


    “I can’t make this call on my own, so…”


    The general manager considered returning the business proposal to Lydia, but she firmly held the other end of it.


    “If you’re still not confident about partnering with the Phillips Group after reviewing my proposal, I won’t trouble you further.


    Please give it a read before deciding.


    ”


    The general manager, unable to sway Lydia’s determination and mindful of his boss’s instructions to be kind to her, reluctantly agreed to review the proposal.


    He could only grab the business proposal, hoping for a nce, but then he was taken aback.
