The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never
Chapter 1239

Bryson’s gaze lingered on the exit as Hannah left the room.

When he turned back, he found Kohen nodding.

His expression darkened.

“What’s on your mind?”

Kohen assessed Bryson with a smirk, his eyes glinting mischievously.

“How does a guy like you manage to snag such a beautiful girlfriend?

Luck must be on your side.

”

“cut the crap.

”

The joy that had briefly touched Bryson’s features dimmed.

“Don’t forget your promise to me.

”

“I’ve never let you down before, have I? The unreliable ones have been replaced, and I’m still standing.

It just shows we run a tight ship.

Oh, by the way.

”

Kohen tapped his forehead as if struck with sudden insight.

“Word is, the Lyons family is planning a gathering, inviting all six families to discuss cooperation.

”

His gaze met Bryson’s gravely.

“It’s surprising enough that the six families would consider collaboration, but what’s even more unexpected is that the Holmes and Mitchell families have also received invitations.

The Lyons suddenly cozying up to the Mitchell Group for a five-billion-dollar investment is quite the eyebrow-raiser.

That amount of money could resurrect a sinking ship.

And you, Bryson, are the sole representative from the Mitchell family-the only Mitchell invited.

Doesn’t that strike you as odd?”

“If it surprises you, there’s likely more to it,” Bryson replied evenly.

“The invitation reeks of ulterior motives.

You’d be wise to decline,”

Kohen urged.

Bryson tapped the armrest of the sofa thoughtfully.

In the dim Light, his eyes seemed to deepen.

“I’ve accepted.

”

“What? Are you serious?” Kohen’s eyes widened in disbelief; a rare sight indeed.

“It’s clear the organizer has nefarious intentions.

Why on earth would you attend?”

Bryson’s smirk widened into a knowing smile.

“If I decline, they’ll simply find another way to reveal their true colors.

”

“Just make sure you’re not alone.

Caleb alone won’t cut it.

I’ll send some of my best men,” Kohen insisted.

But Bryson shook his head.

“Caleb alone is enough.

Your men might not be able to contain their tempers when they see Rodrigo.

”

Kohen’s expression darkened.

“Rodrigo is the assassin who tried to take me out.

I can’t let him slide.

”

“You’ve been patient this long.

A little more won’t hurt,” Bryson advised.

“Rodrigo is ambitious.

He won’t remain loyal to anyone,” Bryson continued.

“He’s been scheming behind the Lyons Group’s back.

We don’t need to intervene.

Once he’s exposed, Remington’s men will handle the fallout.

”

Bryson’s mind raced as he contemplated the guest List, noting Hannah’s name among them.

Convincing her not to attend would be futile.
