“I probably know why. Don’t worry about it, it’s no big deal.”
Grace blinked at Hannah and eyed her with interest.
“Really? Why is he acting so strange? I want to know!”
Hannah was deep in thought. She had come back this time to help Lydia establish a foothold in the Phillips family. But at the same time, she had also been studying the business conditions and influence of the most prominent conglomerates and families in Valmere.
What she found particularly interesting was that in the months that Bryson was gone, the Mitchell Group saw a decline in revenue. They had not plummeted, per se, but they were significant enough to warrant some worry.
Although Franco had been overseeing things, the overall performance of the company was much lower than when Bryson was around.
“Hannah?” Grace’s brows were knitted slightly.
“Can’t you tell me about it?”
Hannah came back to her senses and shook her head.
“Oh, it’s because Bryson has been expanding his business in Hoijery. As a matter of fact, he has assigned some of his projects here in Valmere to your cousins. That’s mostly why the Mitchell Group hasn’t been doing well lately. Those people are constantly competing with each other, it’s not conducive for productivity. It would be best if you don’t get involved with them, at least not for now.”
Grace shot her an innocent look.
“They are my cousins. They would never do anything to me. I mean, I know they don’t like me. But it’s not like they would hurt me, right?”
Feeling helpless, Hannah could only shake her head again.
“You’re still young. You don’t understand the extent that people would go to for their ambitions. It’s okay, you have your brother, anyway. Just listen to him and do as he says.”
While dumbfounded, Grace nodded in agreement.
“Got it.”

It was then that Lydia stomped over.
Bang!
She slammed her phone on the table and plopped on her seat.
“Outrageous!”
“What happened, Lydia?” Grace asked worriedly.
“Don’t worry too about her, she’s settling some in her family’s business. Just enjoy our meal together, okay? I’ll take you home later.” Hannah then turned to Lydia and asked, “Were you told off?”
Lydia was still huffing as she nodded.
“As expected, Henry twisted the truth and made me out to be the bad guy. Dalary also went off on a rant online, spouting fake news left and right. Her video has gone viral! Netizens flocked to the official account of the company, demanding an official statement to explain Dalary’s termination.”
