The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

If my shamelessness leaves an impression, Hannah, then I can afford to be even more so, Peterson replied with a shrug, his tone Light but tinged with sincerity.

He then gestured to his men.

Escort them to the exit.

As they prepared to leave, a staff member hurried over and whispered urgently to Peterson.

His expression subtly changed, as if digesting unexpected news.

You seem to be in luck today, Peterson said, turning to face Hannah and Bryson with a keen glint in his eyes.

The Compton family has come to collect you, Hannah.

It became clear why Peterson had released them so readily; Hannahs fathers people had intervened.

Without another word to Peterson, Hannah grabbed Brysons hand and they started towards the exit.

The din of the audience faded behind them, leaving Peterson alone, watching them leave with a knowing smile. Hannah, this isnt over.noveldrama

Stepping out into the bright daylight, Hannah squinted against the harsh Light.

Dilan and Dotson were waiting outside with their team.

As soon as they saw Hannah, they hurried over.

Are you alright? asked Dilan.

Im fine, Hannah responded, her gaze shifting to Bryson.

But Brysons hurt.

Weve got a doctor and medical supplies ready, Dotson assured her.

Well take care of Mr.

Mitchell.

Hannah nodded, then addressed Bryson.

Go get treated.

I need to speak with Remington.

Bryson cast a wary look at Remington before leaving with Dotson and the others.

Hannah.

then noticed Conor, who had also been released, standing beside Remington.

I need to speak with Remington alone, she said firmly.

Conor paused, his eyes shifting towards Remington.

Remington glanced at Conor, who understood the signal and quietly stepped back. Once alone, Remington asked, What do you want to discuss, Miss Moore? I havent forgotten our disputes, Hannah said coolly.

Once youve sorted out your issues, well resolve ours at our leisure.

Is this you giving me time to handle my affairs? Remington asked, a trace of surprise in his voice.

Dont flatter yourself, Hannah scoffed.

I simply think Peterson is a bigger threat than you right now.

Remingtons face darkened slightly at her words.

Just then, two figures emerged from Twilight Dimness, approaching them with two boxes in hand.

Fortunately, you havent left yet, Mr.

Lyons, the newcomer said.

Our master sent these as a parting gift for you.
