Bryson’s gaze turned sinister.
“Did you really think you can threaten me with something so trivial?”
Merlin’s composure never broke.
“I suppose so. If you don’t fear having your background out in the open, then why would you go to great lengths to conceal your medical records in the first place? You even took care of Ruby, despite her return to the country being a secret.”
“Stop spouting nonsense.” Bryson raised his chin and took another drag on his cigarette.
“That woman hanged herself in the detention center. I had no hand in it.”
“Well, I don’t want to look into these matters and antagonize you any further,” Merlin said, pushing another stack of documents toward Bryson.
“It doesn’t matter whether you are Bryson or Sewell. Either way, you are now the head of the Mitchell family, and I would very much like to do business with you. This project involves research and development in both domestic and foreign areas. Please take some time to look at it. I’m quite confident that it would pique your interest, and that you’d want to cooperate with our Enchantment Casino in no time.”
Bryson paused in the act of reaching for the documents. He Looked up at Merlin, a dangerous smile playing on his lips.
“The last time I was in Enchantment Casino, your people were very rude to me.”
Whoosh!
In one swift motion, he threw the documents aside, sending a few pages flying to the floor. Then he tossed his unfinished cigarette into the glass of water in front of him.
“I have no intention of doing business with you in any capacity.”
Bryson stood up, buttoned his suit jacket, and strode in the direction of the door.
“Mr. Mitchell, I’m sure you know that Enchantment Casino has numerous shareholders. While our line of business is more on the shadier side, there are still a few of us who do not engage in dirty dealings.

Whatever it was that displeased you during your last visit, I assure you that I was not involved in it.” Merlin maneuvered his wheelchair so that he was facing Bryson’s back.
“In fact, the shareholders have always been in conflict. I intend to take over the joint project that they had previously struck with you.”
Bryson paused and turned around.
“If you want to be my business partner so badly, then it’s only natural that you prove your abilities first.”
With that, he left the room.
Merlin stared at the door long after Bryson was gone, his Lips curled into a self-assured smile.
Meanwhile, Bryson walked down the corridor and was rounding a corner to get to the stairs when he suddenly bumped into someone.
“Ouch!”
Eliana looked up at the man in front of her and blushed like an innocent schoolgirl.
