“He tried to intervene when we brought her,” Felix exined.
“Ah,” Herman waved dismissively.
“Take him away.
Kill him.
”
His nonchnt attitude of deciding a person’s death was no different from butchering livestock.
After the man received the order, he raised his hand to grab Bryson’s cor when Hannah suddenly
spoke.
“He’s my man.
Shouldn’t I have a say in this?”
Herman chuckled.
“You’ve got nerve.
I know who you are, Hannah Moore.
The precious daughter Wace just brought back from abroad.
We know quite a bit about you.
”
Herman crossed his legs and fixed his gaze on Hannah.
“You cut off my source of wealth and dismantled my connections.
What makes you think I won’t kill you right here, right now? Look, your family ties won’t help you here.
”
“That’s not true.
” Hannah smiled back.
“If you really wanted me dead, I wouldn’t be here.
”
“Boss… Herman’s man hovered beside Bryson, poised to slit his throat.
However, Herman intervened with a wave of his hand.
“Release their ropes first.
”
The man hesitated, his tone uneasy.
“Boss, I’m not sure.
.
”
“Just follow my instructions!”
“Understood.
”
With that, the ropes binding Bryson’s and Hannah’s wrists were loosened.
Herman gestured for them to move, his tone now more conciliatory.
“Don’t just stand there.
Take a seat.
Let’s have a chat.
”
Hannah and Bryson made their way to the sofa opposite Herman and sat down.
Herman’s subordinate approached, eyeing Hannah and Bryson cautiously.
“Now that you are here, let’s get down to business.
”
Facing them, Herman addressed Hannah directly.
“However you n to handle the Chadwich family, you have overstepped your bounds.
You can’t put the Bloody Gang’s interests at risk.
Our channel for moving goods has been cut off.
There is plenty of business, but we are not seeing any profit.
So, what do you think we should do?”
Hannah smiled faintly and said, “If the Chadwich family truly falls apart, other rtives will be ready to step in for Amelie.
It’s only natural that someone would seek your cooperation.
So, why the hurry?”
Herman let out a derisive snort.
“Don’t think I’m oblivious to the fact that the Compton family is eyeing Jade Paradise now that they have terminated their partnership with the Chadwich family.
You don’t need to resort to trickery with me.
If I haven’t wronged you, it’s because I’m interested in discussing business with you.
”
Although Herman didn’t say it clearly, Hannah understood what he meant.
“So, you are proposing a partnership?”
Herman gazed at Hannah with admiration.
“Seems Like conversing with sharp minds is effortless.All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.
You have seized control of Jade Paradise and the orphanage.
Partnering with you is the path of least resistance and minimal coteral damage.
”
Suddenly, Hannah burst intoughter.
Her eyes sparkled with disdain as she looked Herman in the eye.
“Now that you know I’m the one who took down the Jade Paradise and reimed the orphanage, you should know I’m not interested in dirty deals like this.
”
“How dare you speak to our boss like that?”
The man beside Herman seemed eager to stand out, but Herman’s stern gaze shut him down.
His eyes bore into Hannah’s, darkening with intensity.
“Miss Moore, I’ll address you with civility for the Compton family’s sake.
If anyone else dares to disrupt my affairs like this, I won’t hesitate to take drastic measures.
”
With a grim smile, Herman turned his attention to Hannah.
“In the past, I used to im a substantial portion of profits from the Chadwich family coboration.
Should you choose to coborate, we could split the earnings evenly this time.
”
