Indeed, given the status of the Mitchell family, their chance of acquiring the land was higher than most other companies.
One would have to be a well-established real estate magnate to have any hope of wrestling the project from Bryson’s clutches.
Lydia was aware of this. Her expression turned worried.
“Then, will you still be at the bidding, anyway?”
“Why wouldn’t I be?” Hanna countered lightly.
“ALL the paperwork has been finalized and submitted. I can’t possibly back out and just ghost them.”
Noting that Hannah seemed to be more at ease than before, Lydia jumped at the chance to prod.
“Say, Hannah. I haven’t asked you yet, why did you break up with Bryson? Weren’t you guys fine when you went over for dinner a few nights ago?”
She thought about the possible reasons why Hannah would let such a catch go.
“Did he cheat on you? Because if he did, I swear, I will cut that man’s balls off!”
Hannah shook her head and offered up a small smile. She wasn’t planning on telling her friend every detail.
“Just let it go, Lydia.
Don’t worry, I’m fine.”
“Does it involve some sensitive information, Hannah? You’ve never kept a secret from me before, especially when it came to men.” Lydia could tell that there were more serious issues underneath the surface.
“You know that I will always be on your side, right? No matter what happens, I will support you. Just say the word, and I’ll even break up with Brayden.”
“Don’t get too worked up now,” Hannah sighed.
“I knew you would get emotional, that’s why I didn’t want to tell you. I don’t want my affairs to affect your relationship with Brayden. Do you realize that if you broke up with him, your Dad would only pester you more?”

“Please, I can always find another man!” Lydia leaned over the table and added in earnest, “But I won’t just stand by and allow my best friend to get hurt.”
“That’s enough. You can’t break up with Brayden over something that doesn’t even involve you two. That would be ridiculous. My breakup with Bryson… Just rest assured that he didn’t cheat on me.”
“Huh?” Lydia was utterly perplexed now.
“If it isn’t cheating, then why would you even consider breaking up with him?”
Hannah opened her mouth to answer, but hesitated at the last second.
“It’s really complicated. Even I haven’t sorted out my thoughts yet.
I’ll tell you once my head clears, okay?”
