Jeffry, puzzled, responded with a nod, “Yes.”
Taking a seat, Bryson proposed, “Miss Moore, I’d appreciate it if you could assist in wrapping up this negotiation.”
The realization hit Jeffry hard. His face showed his alarm as his keen eyes darted between the two. He questioned Bryson, “Mr. Mitchell, are you acquainted with her?”
“So what if I am?”
Bryson, gesturing towards the sofa with his elegant fingers, smiled at Jeffry. “Let’s focus on our business discussion, shall we?”
Jeffry was so angry that the corners of his mouth trembled. He gritted his teeth and said, “You… Now it’s clear! You’ve been fucking conspiring against me!”
Even though Jeffry was furious, Hannah stayed calm.
Winston’s voice was icy as he asked, “Why would we conspire against you? Miss Moore’s here for business.”
“You two know each other! The Compton family and Mitchell family want to team up and take over this place, right?” Jeffry sneered. “At this point, I’ve got nothing to lose. I’ll go down, but I’ll take you all with me!”

He turned to Bryson. “Mr. Mitchell, you know what happened to the head of K Group. If you don’t play by the rules, there are plenty who’ll risk everything. I bet you’re not willing to gamble with your lives.”
Jeffry seemed fearless, ready to face anything. If it came to a standoff, he was certain he’d come out on top.
Hannah looked at him, her eyes full of meaning. “Fine, we accept your terms. Peace is more profitable, after all.”
Recognizing Hannah’s acquiescence, Lorenzo, who was beside her, felt relieved. “Miss Moore, I’ve always advised you to heed my words to avoid embarrassment. You’re representing the Compton family, and your actions today have brought shame to us. I’m at a loss about how to explain this to the boss and his wife when I return.”
Hannah glanced at him coldly, a slight smile playing on her Lips.
“Well, since you and Mr. Ortega arranged the business previously, I think it’s best if you handle it this time too. Honestly, I don’t know much about these matters, and I nearly got myself into a mess.
Could you take over?”
Suddenly, the tables turned. Lorenzo sensed something amiss. “But you’re the one in charge today. It wouldn’t be right for me to step in and make decisions, would it?”

Hannah’s tone shifted slightly. “My actions today have upset Mr. Ortega. Continuing negotiations might lead to losses for both parties.
You, on the other hand, work for Amelie and have extensive experience dealing with Mr. Ortega. You’re more knowledgeable about these things than I am. Why not represent the Compton family and sign the contract?”
She then turned to Bryson. “As for this gentleman, we’ve only met once before. Mr. Ortega, please don’t get the wrong idea.”
Upon sensing a change in Hannah’s demeanor, Jeffry grew bolder. He taunted, “Miss Moore, if only you had shown this courtesy earlier, things wouldn’t have escalated to this point.”
He strolled back to the sofa and sat down, crossing his legs nonchalantly. “My terms remain unchanged. For Lorenzo’s sake, I won’t hold a grudge…”
His words were interrupted by a ringing phone.
“Excuse me, I need to take this call.” Hannah calmly retrieved her phone from her pocket and answered. “Hello? The reception here is poor… I can’t hear you clearly.”
