Left behind, Toby’s men couldn’t hide their dismay.

“Boss, have you lost your mind?”

“Boss, there’s no reason to fear him.

Why should we disclose the client’s identity to him?”

Toby ignited a cigarette, explaining, “You’re missing the point.

We’re at fault here.

His associates were harmed, yet he spared us any retribution.

That alone is a favor.

He’s more than just another affluent individual.

Provoking him could lead to far graver consequences than this.

Disbelief colored one man’s response.

“Boss, the Mitchell family won’t take over our operations.

“I have no desire to see mutual destruction,” Toby declared sharply, eyeing the skeptical speaker.

“Moreover, I doubt we could even manage that against him.

Choosing this path, severing ties with Bryson Mitchell even at a loss, is preferable to turning him into an adversary.

As they exited the building, Dotson muttered, “The Garza family is courting disaster.

They will pay for it.

“No rush.

” Bryson’s voice was icy.

“First, cut off their business.

Then we can root them out completely.

Hannah was unaware of their activities that night.

She woke up early, rubbing her eyes and recalling her blindness.

She groped her way to the bathroom.

After washing up, she managed to navigate her room without bumping into anything.

As she sat down on the bed, Bryson entered the room carrying a bowl of oatmeal.

“You’re awake? Have some oatmeal to warm up,” he offered.

Hannah tilted her head.

“Mr.

Mitchell, you’re up early today?”

Bryson’s voice softened.

“Yes, I have work at the office and can’t stay with you today.

Hannah accepted the oatmeal, took a sip, and dismissed him lightly.

“Go on with your work.

Though I’m blind, helplessness isn’t in my nature.

“Alright,” Bryson responded, observing her as she finished her oatmeal before he collected the bowl.

“I’ve enrolled Grace in boarding school.

It’s currently safer for her there.

“That’s a wise decision.

She’s better off where it’s populous,”

Hannah agreed.

“I’ve ensured the school will boost its security,” Bryson added.

He then mentioned offhandedly, “Maloney will accompany me on some business matters for the next few days.

Hannah perceived nothing unusual and nodded.

“Okay.

Noticing her composed response, Bryson experienced a hint of disappointment.

“You don’t have anything to say to me?”
