The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never
Chapter 300

Declan, standing by her side, extended his support, casting a complex glance at Hannah.

“Eliana’s brother is certainly irresponsible, but she shouldn’t be held responsible for his actions.

Please don’t make it difficult for her.

”

Hannah sneered and cast a cold look toward Declan.

“It’s quite amusing, isn’t it? Who’s truly causing trouble for whom?

You both walked in here with the firm belief that I was indebted to loan sharks.

And now that the debtor appears to be her, you suddenly forgot her previous words and adopt the role of the good peacemaker now?”

With a chill in her voice, Hannah declared, “This isn’t something I can just overlook.

”

Out of the blue, Eliana dropped to her knees before Hannah, pleading, “Miss Moore, you have to spare my brother! He can’t afford to end up in prison!”

Tears flowed freely as she whirled around to clutch at Declan’s pants.

“Declan, I can’t let anything happen to him!”

Moved by Eliana’s distress, Declan lifted her up.

“Hannah, Eliana has already humbled herself before you.

How can you remain so indifferent?”

“Why involve law enforcement if a simple apology would suffice?”

Eyes narrowing, Hannah flashed a thin smile.

“Be that as it may, I’m not letting this go.

Brayden, get our attorneys on it.

”

“Hold on!”

Realizing that Hannah wasn’t budging, Declan stepped in to intercept her.

“What if we paid you off? Name your price.

”

Hannah observed the sobbing Eliana in his arms and grinned.

“Well then, how much do you think she’s worth? Why don’t you enlighten me? If the offer makes sense, I might think about it.

Caught off guard, Declan hesitated, gazing at Eliana and contemplating the ten million dollars he owed on her behalf.

“We acknowledge her mistake, and we’re prepared to offer you 100, 000 for the emotional toll.

Before anyone could process it, Clive burst into laughter.

“A measly hundred thousand? That won’t even cover our basic initiation fee.

Why so frugal, Mr.

Edwards? Weren’t you just pledging to shoulder a debt of a hundred million for Miss Moore? So why only a hundred thousand now? Ah, I see.

” Nodding, Clive continued, “So, a hundred million is just lip service, but a hundred thousand hits close to home.

You’d probably regret even that paltry amount, wouldn’t you?”

Declan’s face clouded over, at a loss for a retort to Clive’s jab.
