The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

Remingtons father fixed him with a fierce, burning gaze.

You know the rules of our family better than anyone.

Its unthinkable for you to marry a foreign woman! Remington, who had always obeyed his father without question, lifted his head and stared at him.

But youve married a foreign woman, havent you? The seemingly innocent Peterson, who was involved, lifted his head and looked at the two.

Remingtons fathers jaw tightened.

His mother is different! Then, he turned to look at Peterson.

What about you, Peterson? Dont you think we should kill that woman? Peterson blinked innocently as a smile stretched across his lips.

Father, Miss Moore saved me.

I would be ungrateful if I agreed with you on killing her, wouldnt 1? So you agree with your brother then! You also feel I should let her live! Peterson smiled.

Father, she has plenty of resources in her hands.

Theres no need for us to kill her.

Additionally, Miss Moore is highly vigilant.

If you fail and allow her to escape, it will pit the two families against each other-certainly not the outcome you desire.

Upon hearing this, Remingtons father squinted at Peterson, studying him intently.

After a long pause, he said, Youre right.

We cant act impulsively without certainty.

Its not the way to proceed.

Then, he turned to look at Remington, who was still kneeling on the ground.

You better get up! I might not kill her, but you need to stop thinking about it.

As the heir of the Lyons family, you cant afford to fall in love with her! Remington hesitated and finally answered, Yes, Father.

I understand.

After they emerged from the villa, Peterson stretched and cast a lazy glance back at the house before turning his attention to Remington.

Remington, I didnt expect you to defy Father.

I thought you would agree with whatever he said.

It was the first time Remington had been publicly humiliated, and his face darkened.

I expected you to stand up for her, considering how many times shes helped you.

Remington looked at Peterson and said, It seems you dont value your benefactor all that much either.

I spoke up for Hannah, didnt I? Peterson said.

If it werent for me today, youd probably be kneeling in the villa until dawn.

Meanwhile, Hannah was sent to her room by the guards.

She had feared they might harm her on the way, but to her surprise, they merely escorted her back without any further incident.

After closing the door, she peeked out through the peephole.

As expected, the two people stationed outside didnt leave.

She frowned, taking a few steps back before turning and dashing to the window.novelbin

She peered out, looking down to see what lay below.

As she had anticipated, a row of bodyguards stood vigil beneath the window, clearly positioned to deter any attempt at escape.

What the hell… A frown lined Hannahs forehead as she remembered what Remingtons father said.

Did Wilfred tell him something? No, Hannah muttered to herself.
