“Would Wallace let her into the Compton family if she lacked the ability? Though the six clans are doing alright, each has its own difficulties. The Compton and the Pierce families have been allies for ages. Plus, they’re about to announce an engagement. Their combined strength would become stabler. We need to consider which side to align with.”
Bagot Delgado, a shrewd businessman, smiled at Roland Juarez and advised, “These families are joining forces for business, but you’re choosing sides. Just be careful you don’t pick the wrong one.”
“Ha ha.” Roland laughed lightly. “In their eyes, my dad’s just a wealthy upstart who was Lucky to make his fortune, pushing our family into the top status of the six biggest clans. Does it really matter which side I pick? But you…”
Roland gazed at Bagot with a sly grin. “You’re a nice guy you won’t upset anyone. But eventually, you’ll have to choose sides and make enemies.”
Bagot’s expression darkened. He looked towards the distant woman and said, “Her arrival might shake things up. We’re both on the borderline. It’s wise not to stand out too much, to avoid trouble.”
“ALL right, all right. I know. But playing it safe won’t get you far here.”
“You’re the bold one. Yet, I don’t see you aligning with any of them,”
Bagot retorted with a sneer.
Roland raised an eyebrow. “I’m still assessing the whole situation. I won’t make a move just yet. You really don’t get it, do you?”

Hannah didn’t care much for it. She had no role on stage at the moment, so she just leaned back and enjoyed the spectacle.
Out of nowhere, a figure appeared!
Without even realizing it, Hannah felt the urge to turn around, but suddenly a large hand covered her mouth!
She tried to raise her arm to fight back, but the man skillfully caught her wrist, stopping her movements.
The hall was so poorly lit that only the people on the stage were clearly visible to the audience.

No one seemed to notice what was happening between the two of them.
Pressed against a cold pillar in the banquet hall, Hannah managed to slightly bite the hand, forcing it away from her lips.
Before she could utter a word, the man forcefully tilted her chin upwards, surrounding her with a scent of mint.
After a prolonged ki*s, Hannah fiercely bit the man in front of her!
Bryson grunted and released her jaw, tasting the blood on his lips.
His voice, rough and strong, cut through the darkness.
“What? Do you plan to remain pure?”
In the dimly lit room, Hannah couldn’t clearly see Bryson’s face, but his tone was unmistakably smug.
