Her tone carried a hint of sarcasm, silencing the men in the front seats.
Seemingly unaware of the shift in atmosphere, Bryson smiled at her.
“Absolutely. I’ll protect you at all costs.”
Hannah narrowed her eyes, a smile playing on her lips. “You make me feel safe, Mr. Mitchell.”

In the front, Keith and Trent exchanged bemused glances as the atmosphere shifted unexpectedly.
Then Hannah’s voice drifted from the back.
“Since there’s nothing urgent tonight, Mr. Mitchell, I won’t keep you at my place. It might not be convenient.”
Bryson had stayed at Hannah’s place yesterday, but it wasn’t convenient for him to stay there today?
Keith and Trent were curious about the change but refrained from saying anything.
Bryson simply smiled and said, “Since you mentioned it’s not convenient, Miss Moore, I won’t disturb you today.”
Glancing at Keith, who was driving, Bryson added, “It’s getting late. Could you drive me back, Mr. Compton?”
Keith was about to respond when Hannah interjected, “Why ask him to take you back? You’re free to choose any car here. Take whichever one you like and drive back tomorrow.”
The tension between them was palpable. Keith quickly fell silent, not wanting to escalate the situation further.
“Alright,” Bryson replied calmly, his expression unchanged. “I’ll take this car back then.”
Hannah opened the door and instructed, “Please step out of the car and let Mr. Mitchell use it.”
Keith and Trent exchanged glances, swiftly unbuckling their seat belts and exiting the car.
Meanwhile, Bryson leisurely stepped out of the car and waved to Hannah. “I’ll take this one then, Miss Moore.”
Keith watched as the car sped away, disappearing down the road.
Keith glanced at Hannah tentatively and asked, “Didn’t you two used to get along well? What happened?”
Hannah replied sharply, “Who said we were getting along?”
After resolving the issue concerning Jade Paradise, Hannah was clearly upset with Bryson’s behavior.
Bryson had gone out the previous night, and it seemed there was more to it than met the eye.
Hannah felt that Bryson wasn’t being honest with her despite his insistence on transparency. This man really had double standards.
Seeing his sister’s angry expression, Keith blinked twice and chose to remain silent.
