Bryson gave Tyshawn a brief nce.


    “Of course I came back.


    It’s Grandpa’s 8@th birthday party.


    Wouldn’t miss it for the world.


    ”


    Tyshawn’s Laugh was strained and ufortable.


    “Thank you for making the effort.This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    ”


    With that, he turned away and left, teeth clenched in frustration.


    Bryson looked away, his expression still indifferent, and continued to mingle, his smile gentle and unassuming.


    By his side, Hannah stood with grace and poise.


    Together, they were the epitome of elegance, surrounded by esteemed guests, giving the impression that they had a vast circle of friends.


    “He’s just back to being the CEO again.


    What’s he got to be proud of?”


    In the shadows, Tyshawn was fuming, his gaze fixed bitterly on Bryson.


    “It’s because you’re useless.


    ”


    Watching Bryson and Hannah from a distance, Melina couldn’t hide her contempt for Tyshawn, though her eyes betrayed a hint of jealousy.


    “If you werepetent, you would continue to be CEO.


    Even if Bryson returns, that position was supposed to be yours.


    ”


    Melina sneered further, “But you caused the Mitchell Group to lose so much money, and Bryson had to step in to salvage the situation.


    Do you think people are here to tter you?”


    “You say.


    say that again,” Tyshawn challenged, turning to face Melina with fury in his eyes as he gripped his wine ss.


    “If you’re still hung up on Bryson, go be with him.


    Stop bothering me.


    ”


    Enraged by Tyshawn’s retort, Melina’s expression darkened; her lips pressed tightly together.


    “Do you think I want to bother you? Am I wrong? If you werepetent, would you be sidelined by the Mitchell Group like this?”


    In a swift motion, Tyshawn raised his hand, intending to p Melina.


    But she met his gaze defiantly and challenged, “Go ahead, hit me if you dare.


    Don’t forget what our ns are now.


    If you p me, the Glyn family won’t work with you anymore.


    ”


    Gritting his teeth, Tyshawn restrained himself, eventually lowering his hand.


    “You’d better stop talking nonsense then,” he muttered.


    “Ha ha.


    ”


    As Franco descended the stairs, she remarked to Tyshawn, “Instead of ming me, maybe you should consider why you’re in your current position and who may be responsible for it.


    ”


    “What do you mean?” Tyshawn red at Melina, frustration evident in his tone.


    “I am in this position, of course, because of Bryson.


    ”


    Melina pursed her lips and gave a grim smile.


    “Really? If it weren’t for your grandfather’s favoritism, would you be in this mess? Have you considered why the Mitchell family resources always lean towards Bryson? You make one mistake, and Franco can’t tolerate you.


    Doesn’t that show his bias towards Bryson?”


    Tyshawn’s face twitched slightly, his gaze shifting to follow theughing Franco.


    His expression grew increasinglyplex.


    Melina’s voice dropped to a slow, deliberate pace.


    “The person you should really resent is Franco.


    If he had shown you a bit more love, you would be the CEO of the Mitchell Group right now, standing in the spotlight instead of Bryson.


    ”


    She continued, her tone tinged with usation, “Franco has cleared all the obstacles from Bryson’s path, like Hurst and others.


    Think about it-aren’t you the next person Franco would get rid of?”


    Tyshawn shivered, staring back at Melina in disbelief.


    “Stop spouting nonsense.
