After saying that, he put the phone on the table and slid it towards the pair.

But Keith and Trent clammed up, their faces pale and mouths shut tight.

“It seems they’re not up for a chat,” Bryson said casually, sliding the phone back.

“If you’ve got something to say, Hannah, I’m all ears.

Hannah took a breath.

“Are you trying to talk me out of it too?”

“No, absolutely not,” Bryson replied, leaning in.

“If you’re set on causing a stir at Jade Paradise, better do it soon; say in a couple of days.

Once the Chadwich family’s folks are out, it’ll get sticky.

The K Group can lend a hand.

Just name the time, and I’ll bring my crew.

Keith wondered if they’d all lost their minds.

“Alright then.

I’ll give you a call tonight once I’ve set things in motion,” Hannah responded.

As Bryson hung up, he turned to Keith and Trent with a reassuring smile.

“Feeling better now? Hannah’s in good hands with me.

The two men exchanged worried glances, unsure of what lay ahead.

Trent fixed Bryson with a serious gaze.

“Messing with the Chadwich family is one thing, but crossing paths with the Bloody Gang? That’s a whole different ball game.

Bryson didn’t care much about it.

His eyes gleamed with determination.

“Then let’s make that gang disappear from here forever.

Bryson and Hannah exuded an air of arrogance that made obedience seem like an alien concept to them.

“ALL right, since you’ve made your decision,” Trent began, his tone tinged with resignation, “I have one request.

We’ll assist you, but we need to devise a meticulous plan, or we’ll replace ourselves in serious trouble.

Bryson nodded curtly.

“Understood.

See you tonight.

Once Bryson departed, Keith let out a relieved sigh before launching into a tirade against the duo.

“Now that Bryson’s involved, there’s no way we can handle this properly.

What should we do?”

Trent cast a weary glance at him.

“Apart from tagging along with them and causing trouble at Jade Paradise, our only other option is to report Hannah to Dad.

Which do you prefer?”

“Ugh…”

Keith slumped back dramatically, his gaze fixed upward with a glassy-eyed stare.

“If only I’d known earlier, I wouldn’t have let Hannah join the Compton family.

I thought we were doing the right thing by inviting her to join us, for Dad’s sake and ours.

I never imagined she’d run into Remington so soon.

Not only did she get mixed up with Remington, but now she’s in for a world of trouble.

Straightening up abruptly, he turned to Trent.

“Do you think it’s a geomancy problem? Maybe we should replace a master to adjust geomancy for the Compton family?”

“I think there’s something wrong with your logic,” Trent retorted with exasperation.

“Keith, do you realize what time it is? Is this kind of joke supposed to be funny? It’s clear someone’s targeting Hannah.

But that might work in our favor.

Once this blows over, Hannah can lay low for a while back in Cadilind.

Keith nodded in agreement.

“You’re right.

But we are in a tight spot.

If we mess this up, we won’t be able to explain it to Dad.

Trent sighed.

“Let’s assess the situation before we decide our next move.

Our priority is protecting Hannah.
