The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

As they departed, Rodrigo hurriedly voiced his concerns to Remington.

Mr.

Lyons! I suspect somethings off with Peterson.

Isnt it risky to let him join them? And I doubt Hannahs intentions.

Shes been quite difficult since arriving at the villa.noveldrama

It seems like shes trying to undermine your plans.

Watching Hannahs fading silhouette, Remingtons eyes sparkled with anticipation.

Ive arranged them together to stir things up.

With Conor there, hell catch any missteps by Peterson.

This isnt your concern.

Lets go.

Once in the car, Peterson turned to Hannah curiously.

Did Remington really entrust you with millions to handle this case? Yes, he did. Why do you ask? Hannah responded, turning to face him.

Whats wrong? Nothing, Peterson replied.

Just curious why he chose you.

Are you also trained in forensic analysis? Its not a big deal, Hannah shrugged.

Im a doctor and I dabble in forensic science in my spare time.

As for your brother, he probably tested me initially to see if I was a suspect.

Peterson blinked, astonished.

He suspected you? His voice rose in surprise, and he quickly covered his mouth, glancing nervously towards the front of the car.

After overhearing the conversation, Conor turned and said, Youre right.

Mr.

Lyons did have such intentions, but he still trusts you deeply.

Otherwise, he wouldnt have ventured into Compton territory alone.

Forget it.

I know Im innocent, and Im not worried about any accusations, Hannah replied indifferently.

Conor continued to clarify on behalf of Remington.

Mr.

Lyons believes in your innocence.

He genuinely needs your assistance.

Leaning back, Hannah rested her chin on her hands and gazed out the window.

I knew Mr.

Lyons was more complex than he appears.

Hes quite skilled at playing the underdog to win over people.

The mood in the car grew tense.

Conor realized that Hannah was sharp and not easily deceived.

She had already deduced Remingtons motives. Her commitment to continue aiding his investigation stemmed from her resolve not to quit midway.

Conor had encountered Hannah several times at the Compton estate.

She was assertive and intelligent, not merely tough without thought.

Moreover, Conor had witnessed Hannahs prowess at a recent training session.

Her skills were impressive.

He believed that if Remington were to challenge her, it would be unwise.

With their varied thoughts, everyone arrived at the hospital.

As darkness enveloped the outside world, they were led by a doctor to the underground morgue.

Upon exiting the elevator, Peterson shivered.

Its freezing here.

Hannah glanced at him and said, You should go back upstairs with the doctor.

I need to perform the autopsy, and its not suitable for you to be here.

Peterson immediately said, No, I want to stay with you!
