The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never
Chapter 1640

Hannah chuckled and took another look at Franklyn’s hanging leg and teased.

“Well, he’s badly injured right now.

If you still let him out of your sight while he’s like this, I think you should go back to the Compton family and train again!”

Dotson’s almost got teary eyes as he promised, “Boss, I swear! It will never happen again!”

Hannah then waved her hand lazily and said, “Okay.

I’m going back now.

”

Maloney left with her.

After closing the door behind them, he walked beside her and whispered, “Don’t worry about the matters abroad.

The head of the Compton family is currently investigating Amelie.

”

Hearing this, Hannah abruptly stopped in her tracks, and so did Maloney.

She then turned to Maloney and asked in a straight face, “Are you spying on me for Wallace?”

Shrugging his shoulders, Maloney let out a playful smile.

“I thought you already knew.

”

Hannah didn’t say a word; she gave him a cold look and moved past him.

Just as she opened the door, Maloney spoke up behind her.

“You know, sometimes you can trust Mr.

Compton.

He won’t hurt you.

”

“I only trust myself in this world,” Hannah replied flatly, still facing the door, her fingers gripping the knob.

“If he really loves me, why hasn’t he told me how my mother died? Every detail about her has been hidden from me.

I’ve been searching for years, and now he shows up and says he’s my father?”

She let out a sarcastic laugh.

“Where was he all these years? If things keep going like this, will I ever replace out the truth?”

After she broke away from the Edwards family, her life had been full of unexpected twists.

Surrounded by uncertainty, the path ahead felt like a never-ending dark tunnel with no end in sight.

But once she had entered this darkness, there was no turning back.

Maloney, feeling the chill of Hannah’s despair, fell silent.

“Maybe.

After a long pause, he finally said, “Mr.

Compton has his reasons.

”

Hannah, weary of hearing the same excuse, replied, “I’ve heard that too many times before.

I’m tired.

I need to rest.

”

She marched inside and slammed the door.

Maloney stood there, looking down at his phone with a troubled expression.

For the first time, he didn’t report back to Wallace.

The next morning, Hannah had finished getting ready to head out.

Then a message from Bryson appeared on her phone.

It read: “I’ll pick you up for the party tonight.

”

Her expression didn’t waver as she picked up her phone and replied:

“No, thanks.

Lydia will take me.

”

Bryson, expecting her refusal, let the matter drop.
