As he made his way to the exit, Makenna intercepted him abruptly.
Bryson, that wen
She caught herself mid-sentence, her words faltering under the intensity of Brysons glare. Swiftly correcting her tone, she queried, Was Miss Moore truthful when she claimed you demanded Tyshawn raise ten billion dollars? I understand your reservations about him holding the CEOs office. But hes your cousin
Brysons lips twisted into a sardonic smile. Tyshawn has been diverting company funds and sanctioning subpar projects, costing the company billions and arousing significant ire among our shareholders. He himself pledged the ten billion. Should you have any questions, I advise you to take them up directly with him.
With that, Bryson exited, brushing past Makennas futile attempts to block his path.

Stunned, Makenna turned to Melina, gripping her hand tightly. Melina, you will help me with this, wont you?
It was ten billion dollars. How could Melina possibly assist Makenna with such a staggering sum?
Melina thought it was not good for her to irritate Makenna at this time. Melina reluctantly held Makennas hand back and said, Makenna, dont worry. If something really happens, the Glyn family will help. Our families have always been close; my parents wont just stand by if the Mitchells are in trouble. Moreover, there might still be a way to maneuver this situation. Doesnt Tyshawn have a wealthy fiancee?
Melinas reminder seemed to ignite a spark of hope in Makenna.
Indeed, Tyshawn had once confided in Makenna that marrying Malvina would bring him a dowry of thirty billion dollars.
It was clear Malvinas family was immensely wealthy, and to them, ten billion dollars might not seem such an astronomical figure.

.
Realizing this, Makenna exhaled a deep sigh of relief and smiled, Look at me, getting all worked up when youve just reminded me of Malvinas dowry. Im sure Tyshawn wouldnt have agreed to this without being confident about his plan. Weve been overthinking this.
Yes, youre right, Melina agreed, glancing at her watch. Oh, I just remembered I have another commitment today. Ill visit Brysons grandfather tomorrow. I need to leave now, Makenna.
Makenna, still distracted by her own thoughts, barely registered Melinas departure. She nodded and said, Okay, be careful on your way.
Meanwhile, Bryson was driving Hannah back to her hotel.
The atmosphere in the car was charged, heavy with unspoken words hanging between them like a dense fog. Neither seemed eager to break the silence.
The car came to a smooth stop outside the hotel. Hannah instinctively reached for the door handle, only to find it locked unexpectedly.
She turned to Bryson, a frown forming on her brow. Mr. Mitchell, what do you mean by locking the door?
Bryson hesitated, uncertain whether to share the troubling news he had received from his grandfather.
His gaze was laden with a turmoil of emotions as he looked at her.
After a moment, he decided to divert the conversation slightly. Did Melina cause any trouble for you today?
Even if she makes trouble for me, its all because of you, Mr. Mitchell.
Hannah tilted her head slightly, her expression unwavering. You really hurt Miss Glyn today.
Brysons face remained impassive, his voice flat. Theres no possibility of anything between Melina and me.
