Just as Hannah was about to ask him to leave, a thought struck her.
“Wait. How did you get in here?”
Her eyes darted to the window. Sure enough, it was wide open, curtains flung aside.
She fixed him a glare. “Why can’t you ever use the front door? What’s with you and windows?”
Bryson spread his hands, lacing his defense with righteousness.

“Going through the front door would delay me. Considering your knack for trouble, would you still be alive when I got here?”
His words left her momentarily speechless, glaring at him in frustration.
Bryson’s lips quirked into a smile. “Dress up. I’ll wait outside.”
Bang!
The door was closed.
Hannah rolled her eyes towards the door, then cast her gaze downward.
She couldn’t relax at all. She had intended to take a bath, yet unexpectedly, the day took a drastic turn.
If not for Bryson’s sudden appearance today, she feared that she was really going to die.
Hannah closed her eyes briefly, got dressed, smoothed her hair, and stepped out.
Bryson was waiting, leaning against the wall outside her room.
Noticing her, he observed her damp hair and asked, “Why didn’t you dry your hair before coming out?”
“I’m not so fragile,” Hannah replied, waving her hand dismissively.
Noticing Bryson’s suit was also marked with water stains, she suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.
After all, it was her who made Bryson so embarrassed. “I’ll get someone to fetch you a fresh set of clothes so you can change. If we’re going out tonight, those wet clothes won’t be comfortable for you.”
Just as Hannah was about to leave, Bryson said to her with a serious tone, “Are you sure you want to go ahead with your plan against Jade Paradise?”
Hannah paused, turned around, and faced Bryson, her expression questioning. “You’re not trying to talk me out of it, are you?”
The man leaning against the wall shook his head. “No, it’s just that Jade Paradise has connections with influential people. Some big shots owe Jade Paradise favors. If you really plan to make a mess there tonight, it could put some of them in a difficult position.”
Although Bryson mentioned some people, Hannah understood he was hinting at the Compton family.
Hannah smiled slightly. “The Chadwich and the Compton families are tied by marriage. I don’t need to destroy Jade Paradise. I just want to draw out the Bloody Gang. Having them around is a lurking threat. It would be beneficial to take control of Jade Paradise while Amelie is away.”
