They’re what’s left of the information. Do you see the man standing next to your mother? He led the Moreno family, the strongest among the four families. Your mother must have been from a notable family to be in such a circle.”
Bryson zoomed in the photo with his fingers. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, spotting another man in the image.
Staring at the partially obscured face of the man, Bryson emanated a chilling aura.
“Is something wrong?”
Kohen sensed Bryson’s unease and leaned in to see the photo better.
“yhat did you find?”
Bryson showed him the phone. “This man. Do you recognize him?”
The image on the phone was too blurred, and only half of the man’s face was visible. Kohen shook his head. “I don’t know him, but the man beside him was the head of the Compton family. He’s now the leader of the six families. That’s all I could find. My attempts to uncover more about your mother hit a dead end. It’s as if someone has deliberately erased all traces of her.”
Kohen set his glass down and looked at Bryson with a serious expression. “Bry, I have a feeling your mother’s death and her family’s history is complicated. If they weren’t, someone wouldn’t have gone through the trouble to wipe away all her information. When your mom died, you weren’t just a kid. Do you remember anything about that time?”
“No.”

Bryson placed his forehead in his hand, his expression serious. “ALL my memories of my mom’s death are gone. I only know it was soon after she brought me and my sister home from overseas. We had just come back to the Mitchell family. My sister ended up kidnapped and drugged. My mom and I were in a horrific car crash. I survived, but my mom didn’t. The crash made me lose some of my memories. Now, I often find gaps in my mind.”
Kohen suddenly remembered something and mentioned, “Bry, you spent several years in a psychiatric center, right? Did the accident trigger your condition again?”
“Like you said, I was in the psychiatric center under the guise of getting medical help, but really, I was avoiding trouble. I even changed my name because of it.”
Bryson clearly had no fondness for his current name. “That’s part of why I suspect the circumstances of my mom’s death,” he said coldly.
“I’ll keep looking into it and let you know what I find. But…”
After a brief pause, Kohen added, “Right now, you should be concerned about the Lyons family. Rodrigo has turned against you and caused a significant loss to your company overseas. I’ve learned that Remington has invested money into the domestic side of the Mitchell Group.

Whatever they’re planning, the Mitchell family will likely fall for it.”
Bryson wasn’t focused on that, instead looking out the window. “My grandfather is still in charge. Even if they try anything, it won’t be easy for them.”
Kohen nodded and said, “True. The Mitchell family may not see it, but your grandfather is different. He’s been through plenty of business battles and come out on top. He knows what he’s doing.”
Behind the glass, Bryson observed Hannah sharing a laugh and toasting with her friends. He fixed his eyes on her but remained silent, ignoring Kohen’s remarks.
Downstairs, Hannah had just refilled her glass. Charlie walked downstairs with several girls with enchanting outfits and makeup, heading towards Hannah’s booth.
“Ah, Lady Hannah, you’re looking quite happy. What brings you to Jade Paradise?”
Charlie was dressed provocatively, with makeup that enhanced his allure. His clothes showcased his figure perfectly.
As he took a seat next to Keith, he said, “Lady Hannah, you should have told me you were coming. I would have given you a proper welcome.”
Keith adjusted his shirt, trying to distance himself from Charlie as far as possible. “Would you have been THAT kind?”
