“Hmph!” Franco grunted, clearly displeased.

“You two should leave now.

We’ll talk about the engagement later.

Miss Moore, please come inside,” Franco directed firmly.

Grace, standing next to Franco, gave Hannah a wink, urging her to follow them inside quickly.

Turning to leave, Franco seemed to recall something and faced a shocked Tyshawn again.

“The engagement is postponed.

I’ve already told you not to visit during this time.

Tyshawn’s complexion paled.

Franco, supported by Grace, walked toward the living room.

Hannah smiled at Melina.

“It looks like you’re the one who should be leaving.

Make sure the door doesn’t hit you on the way out.

Melina and Tyshawn, who had originally planned to embarrass Hannah that day, found themselves being dismissed by Franco instead!

Melina looked at Tyshawn with evident annoyance.

“Why are you so useless? You couldn’t even convince your grandfather to finalize our engagement!”

“You can’t pin this on me!” Tyshawn retorted angrily.

“Your family asked for an absurd amount of money just for the engagement.

It’s only logical that my grandfather would hesitate!”

“Are you really that naive? What are you even talking about?” she snapped back.

Melina’s disdain was evident.

“If our engagement doesn’t create a stir, how will anyone in the city take you seriously? Do you even have a place in the Mitchell family after being ousted from the Mitchell Group due to past incidents? Who would want to collaborate with you now?”

Her words stung because they held truth.

Without the alliance with the Glyn family, Tyshawn’s chances of reclaiming his status were slim.

Tyshawn swallowed his pride and responded, “I understand.

I’ll replace another way to win grandfather’s favor.

“You need to.

Use your head for once!” Melina retorted sharply as she stormed out of the Mitchell residence.

Tyshawn remained standing, fists clenched.

If he didn’t need Melina for strategic reasons, he would never endure such indignity!

Meanwhile, inside the living room, Franco motioned for Hannah to take a seat.

“You came to see Bryson, didn’t you? He’s not back yet,” Franco stated.

Hannah shook her head.

“I’m aware.

My visit today was to see you and Grace.

Franco looked at the evening sky, then back at Hannah with skepticism.

“You’re not being honest.

You didn’t travel from Hoijery at this time just to visit us, did you?”

Resigned, Hannah admitted with a smile, “There was an issue, but it’s resolved now.

My main intention was to check on both of you.

It was such a hurried visit that I didn’t bring any gifts.

Franco dismissed her concerns with a wave of his hand.

“We don’t need anything.

But tell me, what was that argument with the woman from the Glyn family about earlier?”

Hannah chose her words carefully to avoid upsetting Franco.

“It’s nothing serious.

We just don’t get along, so I had to set things straight with her.
