Hannah tilted her head and winked.
“Hold on, how’d you get wind of such confidential information? Who’s your source?”
Feeling a sudden shiver, Lydia straightened up and gave a stiff grin.
“Uh… someone did the groundwork for me.”

“Brayden did the investigating…”
Hannah scowled.
“Brayden’s buddies with Bryson. By asking him for help, aren’t you basically tipping off Bryson?”
“No, no, no!”
Lydia instantly gestured a denial with her hands.
“I’ve already cautioned Brayden against mentioning this to Bryson. He’ll keep quiet.”

“That’s not what I’m mulling over,” Hannah said, shaking off her earlier thoughts.
“Let’s change the subject. Tonight’s competition begins at 7. I may need to head out this afternoon to fetch the car from the city outskirts. The race tonight…”
“I’ll be there,” Lydia asserted.
“Even if I can’t serve as your co- driver, I can at least be a spectator, can’t I?”
Hannah grabbed the amulet that Lydia had left on the table for her and gave it a gentle swing.
“With this charm by my side, victory is practically guaranteed.”
At the Mitchell Group Headquarters, Brayden reclined on the couch in Bryson’s office, ending a phone call.
