The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

Remington smiled.

They dont intend to make a move.

My father doesnt want to eliminate you just yet; hes monitoring you simply because… After a brief pause, he continued, The day before yesterday, a son of the Lyons family was killed.

Another one is dead? Hannah asked, her surprise evident.

Yes.

Remington nodded.

Subconsciously, Hannah thought of Peterson.

She looked up at Remington and asked, Its not Peterson who died, is it? You care so much about him, dont you? Remington asked, cocking his head.

Of course I care about him! Hannah frowned.

I know him. Hes my friend-how could I not care about him? Remington remained silent for a moment before shaking his head slowly.noveldrama

No, its not him.

Hannahs expression softened.

Then it must be someone else.

With that person gone, your father only has you and Peterson left.

It looks like one of you will be next.

Remington nodded.

If its not him, then Id probably be the next to go.

After discussing so much, Hannah still didnt understand why Remington had come here this time.

Hannah looked at Remington with curiosity.

Since Im here to discuss cooperation, I need to demonstrate my sincerity.

Hannahs gaze landed on the cards on the table.

There were four golden cards, each with a profile on the back, resembling bank cards.

She looked up at Remington, frowning quizzically.

What do you mean? Remington explained, These are my custom-made deposit cards with 80 million on them.

Miss Moore, I need you to do me a favor.

80 million for a favor? Hannah repeated his words, raising her eyebrows slightly.

Its not a small favor, is it? Otherwise, why would you offer so much money? Remington said, Its a piece of cake for you.

Let me be honest with you. I suspect their deaths were not accidents.

I had someone investigate another recent death in horse racing.

He did break his neck.

We didnt discover anything unusual about the horse, so we assumed it was just an accident.

The person who died this time was electrocuted in the villas bathtub.

The forensic doctor confirmed the cause of death, but I have a feeling theres more to it.

Hannah nodded, looking puzzled as she leaned back in her chair.

So you dont believe the forensic experts conclusion? No, I dont! Remington said, his expression grim, .Several people have had accidents and died within a short span of time.

Its hard not to doubt when its just me and Peterson left.

You mentioned earlier that one of us would be next to die, didnt you? Hannah chuckled.

I was just joking! Do you really believe what I said? I do!
