Bryan returned to Grandmother Dawson’s ward.
He was met with Grandmother Dawson's stern gaze the moment he entered.
The nurse and caregiver quickly bowed to her and excused themselves from the room, leaving the room t o Bryan and Grandmother Dawson.
"Grandma..."
Bryan greeted timidly. He hung his head low, like a child who had made a mistake.
"Bryan, you're too reckless!” Grandmother Dawson scolded.
"How could you do something so rash! Do you not have one bit of control over your anger!”
"Grandma, Byan Sanchez was found naked in Anna's room! As her fiance, how could I have kept my composure!
"At that time, I... I could only feel the wrath burning within me! There was no way I could control it!”
"You’re too hot-headed! In a situation like that, lashing out will only make it seem more certain that Anna had done something horrible to you! You’re only making a fool of yourself!" Grandmother Dawson yelled.
"Grandma, I'm a man!" "Apart from that, you are the grandson of the Dawson family! You're supposed to take over the Dawson Group in the future! How can I be at ease with handing the reins to someone as frivolous as you!"
"You squabbled with Ryan in front of so many guests, including our relatives! You even formed armies to search for Anna! If it wasn't for your uncle suppressing the rumors, the whole city would have known that the Dawson family's future granddaughter -in-law had been tainted by Ryan Sanchez!"
The more she talked, the angrier she got. Her lungs heaved heavily.
Bryan quickly came up to his grandmother to help soothe her anger.
"Grandma, I... I'm sorry... I was wrong...”
"Is your apology truly sincere?"
Bryan nodded, not saying a word.
Grandmother Dawson sighed. "Bryan, how could you forget everything I've been teaching you! The messier the situation, the more you need to remain calm. If you are in a mess, how can you deal with the situation at hand?
"In a family as big as ours, there'll be a lot of people with ideas and schemes. Everyone has their own selfish desires, and when their desires overlap, no one knows who will be plotting what against who."
Grandmother Dawson continued, "Bryan, do you think Ryan's appearance in Anna's room was just a coincidence? Do you think Anna actually went to the church?" 1
Bryan looked up in shock. “Grandma, are you saying..."
In Grandmother Dawson's hazy eyes, a spark of insight appeared. "I may not know what exactly went down that night, but I'm sure that someone was scheming against Anna. But someone else was helping her out."
Bryan gasped in shock.
He never thought that this incident could be so complicated.
He held even more respect toward his grandmother after hearing that.
"Grandma, who do you think they are?" Bryan asked in a low voice.
Grandmother Dawson lifted her head and looked him i n the eye. "Bryan, haven't you ever thought that Anna's stepmother and Chloe both hold some aversion toward her?"
A look of enlightenment appeared in Bryan's eyes. He clenched his fists tightly.
'It was Chloe!’
Finally, he understood why Chloe proactively came to seduce him at the Dawson family mansion. She
stopped him from going to Anna's room because she knew that Ryan was in there!
'That witch!'
"Bryan, you need to know that Nicole Baine didn't come from some prominent family, yet she managed t o bring a stepdaughter into the Hamilton family. Her cunning is not something we should underestimate.”
Grandmother Dawson was born and raised in a wealthy family. She had seen her fair share of intrigue amongst the rich families, making her an expert at seeing through such schemes. With just a glance, she could see everything, clear as day.
Grandmother Dawson took Bryan’s hand and patted him gently. "Bryan, you are my only grandson, so of course I'll hand the family business to you. But you can't let me down, okay?
