“Okay, Bryson responded softly.


    “Don’t concern yourself with the Garza family.


    I’ll assist in resolving the issue.


    ”


    “I hold no concerns about the Garza family.


    Should Merlin attempt any mischief, I’ve prepared a means to ensure his legs won’t heal.


    ”


    Hannah, eyebrows raised, queried Bryson, “Mr.


    Mitchell, did you discover anything else during your trip to Muvrand?”


    “Nothing of significance to report,” he admitted.


    Bryson moved to sit beside her on the bed.


    “There’s both good news and bad news.


    Which would you like to hear first?”


    With a hand resting on her cheek, Hannah Laughed Lightly.


    “Since when did you start leaving me in suspense?”


    Imitating her, Bryson rested his chin on his hand and gazed at her.


    “So, which one do you want to know first?”


    “Tell me the bad news first.


    I want to be prepared for it.


    ”


    “Okay,” Bryson began.


    “The woman who resembles you closely has escaped.


    She injured Caleb.Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    Though not gravely, he was still hurt badly.


    ”


    The woman had meticulously nned and patiently awaited her opportunity to flee, showcasing her remarkable resourcefulness.


    Hannah was not very surprised.


    “What’s the good news?”


    “The good news,” Bryson continued, “is that Caleb called me yesterday.


    He’s located the woman and sent me a photo and a video of her meeting with Amelie.


    ”


    “She hasn’t abandoned this n yet,” Hannah frowned.


    “There’s still some benefit to that woman’s presence,” Bryson remarked.


    “Should anything happen to you, she could seamlessly assume your identity and be the legitimate daughter of the Compton family.


    ”


    “Are you really so casual about saying such dreadful things?” Hannah nced at him.


    “Send me the video and the photo.


    I’ll forward them to Keith and Trent and have them show our unreliable father,” she instructed.


    The news quickly reached Hannah’s brothers, who were abroad.


    After confirming the message had been sent, Hannah stretched and mentioned, “I’m free today.


    I promised Grace I’d join her for a meal.


    Let’s bring them along.


    ”


    Bryson turned to look at her, his gaze intense and unwavering.


    Feeling a chill from his stare, she narrowed her eyes.


    “Bryson, why do you look at me like that?”


    “I just wanted to see your courage,” he replied.


    “You know there are so many people watching, yet you boldly n to go out for a meal.


    ”


    “Mr.


    Mitchell, my boldness stems from your presence.


    ” Hannah moved closer to Bryson, her voiceced with sarcasm.


    “Didn’t you promise to protect me and ensure my safety?”


    Before she could finish, Bryson pulled her closer.


    The atmosphere between them grew charged as they stood close together.


    Bryson looked down at Hannah and asked, “Miss Moore, don’t you n on paying me any interest?”


    “Mr.


    Mitchell, I doubt the little I could offer would interest you,” she replied.
