The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

As Hannah sat in the living room sipping her coffee, she noticed several figures approaching.

She arched an eyebrow and asked with a sly smile, Have you come to seek refuge? Seek refuge? Humph! Who do you think you are? You dont deserve it.noveldrama

What are you talking about? responded the leading elder with a sneer.

Just a heads-up-dont assume youll lead the Compton family just because your fathers hospitalized.

He isnt the sole Compton.

s ...

Oh? Hannah responded, looking intrigued. Are you still banking on Wilfred? Their expressions suddenly stiffened, revealing their thoughts.

You dare come here to threaten me? Youre playing with fire! Hannahs sneer quickly faded into a chilling glare.

Leave now! Dont push me to take action! Her icy tone made them retreat a couple of steps.

The elder stared back fiercely.

Your disrespect knows no bounds! Hannah, leaning back against the sofa with a cool gaze, warned, I suggest you think wisely and leave, or else She then flashed a mocking smile and clapped her hands, signaling several burly men to enter.

They quickly surrounded the visitors.

The elder quaked with fury.

You think you can intimidate us with this show of force? Hannah responded indifferently, her eyes closed, You know very well who I am.

It would be wise not to underestimate me, right? How dare you! they cried out in anger.

Why wouldnt I? If youre here to cause trouble, its only right I respond in kind.

Her gaze was icy as she stood flanked by towering men, who Looked ready to act at any moment.

The senior Compton family members, unused to such treatment, felt both rage and fear.

Realizing Hannah might truly act if provoked further, they couldnt shake off the humiliation of being dominated by her.

An elderly man among them fixed a stern gaze on Hannah.

Your father would never treat us this way.

If you dare to harm us, the news will spread by tomorrow! Hannah responded with a burst of laughter, My father is aging and currently recuperates in the hospital. Ive taken it upon myself to spare him these troubles by overseeing our family affairs.

She looked at them pointedly.

Im quite aware of your operations.

Its curious, isnt it? Your businesses seem to report losses year after year, yet my father always ends up covering those losses.

However, your ventures appear quite profitable.

How do you manage to report such significant losses? Silence fell among the group.

None dared to respond.

As longstanding members of the Compton family, they had consistently hoped for the familys prosperity, yet their manipulation of company profits and extensive tax evasion had only grown over the years.
