The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

But he quickly composed himself and responded calmly, Mr.

Holmes, I think theres been a misunderstanding.

Im not merely aiding him; my intentions are to support Hannah.

Now that the Compton family is involved, I cant just sit back.

Hannah? Bowen echoed, pausing to reflect.

Are you really willing to entangle yourself in this chaos for a woman? Yes, Bryson said without hesitation.

You met her at the party, remember? Bryson added.

Bowen nodded.noveldrama

I remember her.

Shes Wallaces daughter. Yes, and shes not just any member of the Compton family; shes the woman I love, Bryson said, his resolve clear in his eyes.

True love? Bowens tone carried a hint of skepticism.

It seems Ive underestimated your commitment.

But be warned, associating with her is likely to bring you trouble.

Bowen continued, The Compton family is in deep waters, but youre not in clear waters either.

Rumors are swirling.

The Moreno family is making moves to reclaim their influence and theyve started targeting you.

Whats your plan? Bryson paused before replying, Im aware of the old feud between the Moreno and Lyons families.

I assure you, the attack wasnt my doing.

Though we had plans in place, I never anticipated this.

Bowen exhaled slowly, the smoke curling around him.

I was considering seeking someone to help clear your name from the Moreno accusations, but so far, no luck.

We might need Remingtons help to uncover the truth, Bryson suggested.

The more these families are scrutinized, the more Likely we are to expose the real culprit.

Bowen regarded Bryson with a complex expression before slowly nodding.

Youve grown beyond the helpless child you once were.

You have my support.

Brysons eyes glinted with gratitude.

Thank you.

The two continued their discussion deep into the night, not parting until midnight when Bryson finally left the villa. Meanwhile, at the Compton family residence, Hannah stood in front of a French window, gazing out into the night with a somber expression.

She held her phone in her hand, Brysons name displayed on the screen, poised to dial.

Just then, the doorbell rang, slicing through the silence of the room.

Startled by the late-hour interruption, Hannah wondered who it could be.

Upon opening the door, she saw Dotson, his face etched with worry.

Boss, theres been a serious incident at the hospital! Hannahs anxiety spiked.

What happened? Wasnt everything okay when you left earlier? Im not sure of the details.

All I know is that someone forced their way into the hospital, and it seems they were after… your father.

Dotson explained, breathless from his rush.

Alarmed, Hannah grabbed her car keys.

We need to get to the hospital now!
