The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never
Chapter 1387

Bryson emerged from the bedroom, striding over.

“You’re not saving her?”

“Everyone’s got their own path.

She chose Amelie’s side and so she must deal with the fallout.

”

“Fair enough.

”

Bryson c@@ked an eyebrow, doubtful.

“Are you seriously going to let her die?”

Lounging on the sofa, feeling drowsy, Hannah eyed Bryson.

“I guess I’m the picture of virtue in your book, huh?”

“You’re no saint.

”

Bryson leaned in, tapping Hannah’s forehead.

“You are just not cut out for the bad guy gig.

”

His words jolted Hannah awake.

“You’ve got a way with words, you know.

”

As they leaned closer, lips almost touching, a sudden knock on the door interrupted them.

“Miss Moore, Master Remington wants you downstairs, pronto!”

Bryson glanced toward the door, his eyes betraying a flicker of impatience.

Hannah tenderly grasped Bryson’s face, steering him back to face her; she then brushed a soft ki*s at the edge of his lips.

“Let’s take care of business first.

”

After Hannah rose, Bryson smoothly made his way into the bedroom.

Beep beep!

The door’s lock released with a click, and Hannah swung it open to replace Remington’s usual entourage waiting.

As Hannah stepped through the doorway, they greeted her with respect.

“Miss Moore, please come downstairs with us.

”

“Understood.

” Hannah stepped out, shut the door, and descended the stairs behind them.

The living room was bustling with police officers, yet something felt amiss.

She noticed immediately upon entering the living room that the officers seemed split into two distinct factions.

One faction was overly deferential to Remington, while the other was adamant about everyone heading to the police station to provide statements.

Standing near Remington, a senior police officer eyed the others protectively.

“Do you understand the gravity of who these people are? We couldn’t handle the fallout if things went awry!”

“Let’s take the statements here!” At last, the portly high-ranking officer, attempting to modulate his tone, whispered, “These individuals are too influential for us to challenge!”

The opposing, slender young officer remained unyielding, his expression severe.

“We must follow procedure! Imagine the chaos if everyone disregarded the rules.

”
