"I told you over and over again, I need nothing from you!" Thereafter, Hannah flagged down a taxi that had just pulled up.
As the taxi driver rolled down his window to speak, he was startled to find his door suddenly opened.
The driver turned, surprised by the sight of a well-dressed, wealthy-looking man on the other side, wearing a grim expression.

I'm not sure what he might do next.

Considering the substantial amount, he realized it was enough ughcompensation to avoid any potential with the seemingly unstable man outside. He nodded at Hannah with a grateful smile.
"Alright, I'll be on my way!" Before departing, the driver gave Bryson a sympathetic look.

"Head home, sir.
"With that, he pressed down on the accelerator and drove off, leaving the scene behind.
