The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

She then turned her gaze towards the ward and continued, Moreover, I must remind you that as long as Peterson is safe, your suspicion diminishes.

Dont give anyone a reason to target you.

Otherwise, it could stir significant turmoil among the major families.

As she was about to open the door to leave, Remington called out from behind her, Miss Moore! What do you mean? Hannah turned to face Remington, a slight smile playing on her Lips.

Nothing serious.

Just a friendly piece of advice.

While I may not hold the Lyons family in high regard, I dont wish for the person who framed me to triumph with his schemes.

Thats all.

Im heading out now.

Following their exchange, Hannah proceeded to the hospital where Wallace was recovering. No one had disturbed Wallace, allowing him to recuperate smoothly.

His health was improving visibly, and his complexion was regaining its color.

Hannah relayed the days events to him, but Wallaces expression turned into a frown.

Seated beside him, Hannah couldnt help but laugh at the look on Wallaces face.

Are you so worried about them? Their issues are of no consequence to us.

They should consider themselves fortunate that I have chosen not to retaliate for the clandestine maneuvers of his father.

I uncovered the truth, not for the Lyons family.

Should they teeter on the brink of collapse, it would only enable the sinister puppet master to seize control.

Hannah peeled an orange and placed a segment gently into Wallaces hand.

Today, I sabotaged their scheme.

My aim was to flush out the manipulator, to force him into the open so they would turn on each other.

Wallace shook his head, a frown etching his brow.

Something about this doesnt sit right with me.

What? Hannah asked, a hint of confusion in her tone.

Whats wrong? If Remington is the perpetrator, then all his efforts are futile.

But if its someone else aiming to destabilize the Lyons family, why wouldnt they strike at the head of the family first? A spark of insight lit up Wallaces eyes.

Eliminating the patriarch would surely plunge their internal dynamics into turmoil.

It leads me to believe that whoever is orchestrating this may have a different agenda altogether! Spurred by Wallaces insight, a chilling realization dawned on Hannah! She swiftly extracted her phone and dialed Remingtons number.

Thankfully, he answered promptly.

Without allowing him a moment to speak, Hannah blurted out, You and your team are all at the hospital. Have you ensured that someone trustworthy is guarding your father? Confused by her sudden urgency, Remington replied, Rodrigo and Conor are with him.

Why this sudden concern? Whats happened? I believe the true target might actually be your father! Remingtons expression darkened as he peered into the ward where Peterson lay comatose.

He asked in a subdued tone, How did you know? Dont view me with suspicion now, Hannah replied sharply.

Im speculating, not certain.

Youre in the hospital where Peterson was injured.

You must have brought many people with you, leaving the manors security weakened and more susceptible to trouble.

Remington grasped her implication.

I understand.noveldrama

Ill remind Conor.

After ending the call, Remington dialed Conor immediately.
