Since Nate was now in charge, Bryant, even as his uncle, had to show deference and greet him with respect.
“Since you're with guests, we won't keep you,” Bryant said with a faint smile. He lowered his gaze and then
stepped back, signaling to the young man to follow as they walked away.
Corrine watched them leave, her gaze sharp as she thought deeply. She remembered seeing Bryant's face in the

Corrine arched a brow. “Looks like I've been holding you back.”
In the past, Saul had been beside Nate. Now, with Presley added to his security team and Mandy personally
