Hannah’s frown deepened. Edwin had mentioned this before, but she hadn’t paid it much mind.
Now, the pieces were starting to fit together, and it didn’t sit right with her.
Brayden noticed her expression. “Don’t worry, Miss Moore. Bryson won’t let Tyshawn get away with this now that he’s returned. Tyshawn acts strong, but he’s weak inside.”
He continued with disdain, “Since Tyshawn took over, the Mitchell family’s been hemorrhaging orders, losing nearly a billion. Yosef filled me in on how the company directors have been displeased with Tyshawn for a while now. But because of his girlfriend’s status, they’re still entertaining him. And rumor has it, his girl’s promised him a 3@ billion dollar dowry once they’re hitched.”
Though everyone was present, silence descended upon the room at the mention of such an exorbitant dowry.

Lydia couldn’t help shake her head in disbelief. “Thirty billion as a dowry? Is she blind? That’s a dowry of 3@ billion dollars, not 3 million dollars. Is Tyshawn even worth it?”
“People have their own tastes, I suppose.” Brayden shrugged dismissively. “Not much else explains it.”
Hannah interjected, her curiosity piqued. “Are you sure she’s truly a Lyons?”
Brayden hesitated, caught off guard. “Why do you ask?”
“I’ve dealt with the Lyons family abroad. They’re very selective about marriage; they only marry into nobility. It seems odd they’d have a daughter involved with Tyshawn.”
Brayden’s eyes widened as he realized the implications. “You think there’s more to this? Some kind of conspiracy? After all, they did inject six billion into the company.”
Hannah’s head was spinning, but she pushed the thoughts aside.
“Let’s eat first. I’m not up for conspiracy theories right now. I’ve just returned, and I’d rather not dwell on it. I’ll stay at home for a period of time. If there is a chance, I should meet that girl.”
At this time, outside the villa, Grace was clinging to Bryson’s arm, to prevent him from leaving.
She led him to the garden swing, concern etched on her face. “Bryson, what was with the outburst at dinner? You seemed off.”
“Nothing,” Bryson said calmly. “You should return now.”
“How can I go back with you in this state?” Grace pouted angrily.
“How will I face Hannah if I go back?”
She continued talking for a while, but upon seeing her brother’s continued silence, she approached, took Bryson’s hand, and guided him to the swing!
Standing before Bryson, Grace asserted, “Bryson, I’m not a child anymore. I’ve noticed the tension between you and Hannah since your return from the airport. Do you think I’m oblivious? Though I’ve never been in love, I understand that genuine love involves disagreements and misunderstandings. It’s crucial to clarify these promptly; otherwise, regrets will follow.”
Bryson lifted his head and gazed at his sister, unable to suppress a smile as he pinched her cheek. “Where did you pick up this wisdom?”
Grace snorted, “I should know how fish swim, even if I am not one of them.”
“Well, don’t concern yourself with us; go back and have dinner.”
“How can I stop worrying?” Grace kicked the pebbles under her feet in frustration. “She’s supposed to be my sister-in-law. If she ends up with some other guy, you won’t feel like my brother anymore!”
