Bryson raised an eyebrow, approving of Hannah’s plan. “That’s smart. I thought you were set on wrecking the place as your brothers suggested.”
“We don’t need to demolish Jade Paradise, all we need to do is just weaken it. The key is to deal with Amelie’s trusted assistants.”
Hannah smiled. “Without Jade Paradise, let’s see what she can do then.”
Then, as she headed downstairs, she said to Bryson, “Since you’re here early, if you’ve got nothing else planned, you can hang out with me. We’re expecting more people later.”

“Alright,” Bryson replied, following her downstairs. “I’ve also invited Maloney.”
Hannah was taken aback. She turned to Bryson and inquired, “Why did you call him?”
The smile on Bryson’s face was clear. “If we’re going to make a scene, shouldn’t your fiance be here to help sort out the mess?”
Hannah clicked her tongue and narrowed her eyes. “Why do I detect a hint of jealousy?”
“Really?”
Bryson playfully pulled up his sleeve, sniffed it, and then looked at her with a smile. “I only seem to smell the scent of your bath water.”
“Fuck off!”
Hannah couldn’t relieve her frustration by scolding Bryson, so she scolded him again, “You pervert.”
Just then, as they reached downstairs, Dotson and the others returned with groceries.
Coincidentally, Dotson overheard Hannah’s sharp words. He entered the living room and called out loudly, “Who’s troubling my boss? I’d say they’re looking for trou…”
Dotson halted mid-sentence, clutching two bags of groceries, as the man behind him bumped into him.
Bang!
The items the man was carrying tumbled to the floor.
“Dotson, why’d you stop all of a sudden?”
The man behind Dotson grumbled. As he bent down to pick up the fallen items, he noticed the two people in the living room and froze.
The rest of Dotson’s intended threat got stuck in his throat. “Boss…”
Hannah touched her forehead in resignation and gestured them inside.
“Dotson, please find some clothes suitable for action. His outfit is wet and impractical.”
“Alright! I’ll do it right now.” Dotson quickly set down the groceries in the living room and signaled to his companion. “Let’s step outside for a moment.”
After they left, Dotson breathed a sigh of relief. His companion, unable to contain his curiosity, eagerly inquired, “What’s the deal with the guy inside and our boss?”
