The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

Hearing Hannah’s name, Keith froze for a moment.

Then he shook his head.

“Don’t tell her just yet,” he said.

Then he turned to Trent, looking serious.

“Let’s figure out if this is true before we do anything.

”

Trent frowned, obviously not on board with Keith’s idea.

Keith stopped him before he could say anything.

“I get that you’re worried about Hannah, but we can’t panic right now.

”

“But even if it’s not true, we can keep it from Dad.

If we tell Hannah, she can be on guard.

Who knows what Amelie’s up to, she might go after Hannah,” Trent argued.

Keith tried to convince him.

“We’ve got some leads.

Let’s speed up our investigation.

Once we’re sure, we can tell Hannah.

It won’t be too late.

”

After a moment of silence, Trent said, “You’re right.

I’m just a bit anxious.

”

“Do you think what Joselyn said is true? I don’t really trust her,”

Trent mumbled.

Keith thought for a moment.

“We don’t have much choice but to trust her right now.

Her life is in our hands, so she shouldn’t lie.

”

They were just about to leave the villa when Keith’s phone rang.

He pulled it out and was surprised to see the name on the screen.

“Who’s calling you?” Trent asked, coming over.

He froze when he saw the name.

“Hannah?”

Keith quickly answered the phone.

“Hey, Hannah.

What’s up? Why the sudden call?”

“I heard from Dotson that Amelie ran off and left Joselyn at Compton Manor?”

Keith, realizing where this was heading, tried to steer the conversation.

“Yeah, we’ve got someone watching Joselyn.

Don’t worry about Amelie.

Dad has got people on her trail.

We should hear something soon.

I’ll call you as soon as we have news, and then you can decide if you want to come back or stay in Cadilind.

”

Hannah said flatly, “That’s not what I’m asking.

Have you gotten anything out of Joselyn?”

Keith hesitated for a moment, exchanging glances with Trent, before deciding to lie.

“I haven’t been able to get anything out of her yet.

I think Amelie left Joselyn at Compton Manor to use her as a scapegoat.

Joselyn is just a spent pawn to her now.

Amelie sees no use in keeping her around, which is why she was left behind.

”

Keith continued, mixing truth with lies, “Plus, Joselyn isn’t in a good mental state.

She seems a bit crazy.

We’ve got people watching her.

If I find out anything concrete, I’ll let you know.

”

“Okay then.

” Hannah didn’t push further.

“You two be careful.

After Amelie escaped, she took a lot of people with her.

She’s scheming.

Since she failed to sabotage me a few times and I destroyed her base, she’s going to want revenge.

When she can’t get to me in Cadilind, she’ll look for a chance to go after you guys.

So, stay on guard.

”

Keith’s voice relaxed a bit.

“Got it, Hannah.

Don’t worry.

Dad has been keeping an eye on the people from the Compton family that Amelie took with her.

They’re somewhat traceable.

But Amelie is too cautious, and none of those people stayed with her.

We can’t make any sudden moves and risk tipping her off.

”

Hannah sighed softly.

“Thank you.

”

“Silly girl, you don’t need to thank me.

” Keith smiled.

“This is important for all of us.

Don’t worry, we’ll handle it.

Just take care of yourself in Cadilind so we don’t have to worry about you.

”
