“That’s a different mattet”
Maloney glared at Bryson with annoyance. “I’m aware of what’s going on. Why don’t you take me with you?”
However, Bryson responded indifferently, “I’m not trying to manipulate you. It’s just that Hannah needs a way out.”
Maloney calmed down and glanced at the two people sitting across from him. “What do you mean?”
“I have my own selfish reason, I admit. With the Pierce family’s help, Hannah will be safer.”

Bryson glanced at Hannah and continued, “However, she’s correct. The Pierce family should stay out of this. She doesn’t want to cause friction between the families.”
Suddenly, Maloney felt much of his anger melt away. “Don’t worry. Even if he really takes advantage of the Pierce family, the Pierce family won’t break ties with the Compton family.”
Hannah nodded in agreement. “That’s exactly why I didn’t want to drag you into this. Head home early today. If there’s any fallout in the next couple of days, start handling the public relations immediately.”
Maloney agreed and responded, “Okay. If this gets out, I can’t promise the head of the Compton family won’t hear about it.”
Hannah gave a knowing smile. “If it escalates, it’ll be hard for him not to find out.”
After eating, they settled on the sofa to strategize over the Jade Paradise issue.
“Unless you take a drastic approach to dismantle Jade Paradise from the inside, it remains property of the Chadwich family, even with Amelie under investigation. Why not just destroy it? Blow the whole thing up. I’ll support you,” Maloney proposed.
Hannah’s expression wavered briefly. She glanced at Maloney and responded, “Aren’t you leaving soon? Why did you give me an idea?”
“I just want to be prepared for whatever plan you have, so I know how to manage the PR when it’s necessary.”
Dotson agreed with Maloney. “I agree with Mr. Pierce. If we’re going to make a scene, we might as well make it big.”
Noticing Bryson’s silence, Hannah leaned towards him and inquired, “What’s on your mind? Why aren’t you saying anything?”
Bryson turned to Hannah and replied, “I’m waiting to hear your plan.”
“To draw out the Bloody Gang, we need to cut off their financial routes. We shouldn’t worry about the guests on the surface. We still need to target the location where they’re holding the girls. Charlie, you know Jade Paradise well. You’ll need to lead the way.”
Charlie, who was adjusting his hair with a handheld mirror, responded to Hannah by flipping the mirror in his direction and smiling. “I’ll guide you. No worries.”
Hannah nodded and added, “The orphanages Amelie runs are all funded under my father’s name. Even if I take back control now, no one will say anything about it.”
Then turning to Bryson, she asked, “Do you have anything else to add?”
Bryson responded, “I’ll handle the upper floors of Jade Paradise. You focus on the rescue. I’ll keep the bigwigs calm and try to prevent this situation from escalating further and alerting the Bloody Gang.”
Satisfied with the plan, Hannah nodded and said, “We’ll do as you suggested. I’ll have Dotson and the others back you up.”
“No need.” Bryson declined, saying, “I’ve got the right people for this job. Bringing some people in from the K Group might smooth things over.”
