Maloney grinned mischievously, turning to Bryson. But after receiving a cold look from Bryson, he quickly subdued his smile.
“Don’t look at me like that! I’m not the one who put Miss Moore in this difficult position.”
What happened in the room before was enough to make Bryson unhappy.
Now, as Elsa caused more trouble for Hannah, he watched the scene unfold with a darkening expression. “You should go help her later.”

“Miss Moore is strong. I don’t think she needs my help.”
Bryson stood aside and said in a low voice, “I wouldn’t mind if more people ended up dead tonight.”
Maloney stiffened and turned to Bryson and said, “Bryson, don’t talk about killing as if it’s as simple as slaughtering chickens. They haven’t caught the person who attacked Bagot yet. If you do something tonight and get caught, you’ll be the one they blame.”
Bryson just silently stared at Maloney for a while before slowly saying, “If I’m working with you, you’re implicated in half the crime.”
Suddenly, Maloney felt regretful. He had thought Bryson was a decisive and trustworthy ally, but he realized he was no different from Hannah!
They were all cunning as foxes. He was clearly outmatched by them.
“Okay, okay. Don’t worry. If something really happens, I won’t just stand by.”
The noise in the room grew louder. Remington approached with a cold expression.
“Elsa!”
Remington walked straight up to Hannah, shielding her from the verbal attacks of the two confronting her. “Did I not tell you to avoid causing trouble?”

Rhett could hardly stand Remington’s harsh tone. “She’s my sister.
How can you speak to her like that? You two practically grew up together! Isn’t she more important than that woman standing behind you? Are you planning to betray Elsa now? If you dare to go too far…
The Austin family will come after you, even if I let it go!”
Remington locked eyes with Rhett, his green eyes sharp. “Are you threatening me?”
Not to be outdone, Rhett glared back. “Why don’t you try to find out?”
“Rhett!” Elsa tugged discreetly at Rhett’s clothes, signaling him to not escalate things further.
Remington scoffed, “Since the elders aren’t here, let’s lay all our cards on the table. Elsa and I didn’t grow up together. We merely saw each other at family gatherings. What wrong have I done to your sister? Besides, I don’t have a fiancee. I was merely trying to preserve the dignity of the Austin family. Now, it appears you don’t have any shame. Shouldn’t we clarify things?”
Remington’s voice remained steady as he spoke, his calm tone cutting deeply into Elsa.
At that moment, Elsa’s shoulders shook, tears brimming in her eyes.
She looked truly pitiful.
