The man turned to Hannah. “I’ve been too blind. I wasn’t aware you were associated with Mr. Compton and I offended you. I truly am sorry for that, Ma’am.”
Keith understood what Hannah was implying earlier and decided not to pursue the matter further. He lifted his hand, indicating the man could leave.
Seeing the matter didn’t cause a scene, the reckless men in the dark calmed down and hid back.
A waiter guided them to a secluded booth on the first floor, near the staircase leading to the second floor. The surrounding booths were all unoccupied, ensuring their privacy.
“By the way, I’ve heard the third floor offers more entertainment options. Could we possibly go up?” Hannah asked the waiter.
The waiter’s face stiffened, his eyes darting away momentarily. He managed a strained smile and responded, “Ma’am, the third floor is reserved for guests who have made prior reservations. Unfortunately, without a reservation, you can’t go up.”

Bryson gave him a cold stare, and the man quickly lifted his hands in a gesture of peace. “I don’t mean any harm. I just wish to express my gratitude for her help before.”
“No need,” Bryson said coldly, his attention drifting back toward Hannah.
Kohen lifted his glass, revealing a scar on his neck as he drank his liquor. “I don’t believe your return is solely about Remington. I’ve uncovered some clues regarding the investigation you asked me to…”
Bryson’s attention shifted away as he heard the words. He turned to Kohen and asked, “What discoveries have you made?”
Kohen pulled out his phone and found several photos to show him.
“You are right. There’s something behind the cause of your mother’s death. It seems your mother was connected to individuals from the four most influential families.”
