The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

Wilfred, horrified by her suggestion, immediately protested, saying, Hannah, youre mistaken! Amelie wanted you dead, but I tried to protect you! How can you consider killing me? Hannah smirked, staring at him icily.

Werent you just using me? Well… maybe I was, but I saved your life! Are you really going to repay me with death? Wilfred shouted, his voice trembling with fear.

You cant kill me! For heavens sake, Im your fathers brother! If word gets out that you killed me, itll destroy the Compton family.

Shaking her head, Hannahs voice dropped to a chilling tone, a faint smile on her lips.

This hospital is filled with my people.

For your information, even if two bodies disappear today, no one will question it.

The rumor will spread that you and Amelie hired a team to assassinate my father.

But when the assassins were caught, you conveniently vanished. Theyll assume you fled from justice.

Upon hearing this, Wilfred collapsed, trembling in fear.

Wallace surveyed the room before his gaze landed on Hannah.

His expression was conflicted.

After a long pause, he sighed and said, Hannah, come here.

Hannah approached slowly and muttered, Yes, Dad? Hes my brother.

I cant bear to see him harmed, no matter what hes done.noveldrama

So you want me to let him go? Hannah asked.

Yes.

Hearing this, Wilfred frantically shook his head.

No, I swear! Ill never betray you again! Hannah turned toward him, her eyes icy.

The only way to guarantee my fathers safety is to eliminate you.

At that, Trent pressed his gun against Wilfreds back.

Wilfred, on the verge of tears, pleaded, Wallace! Please, just this once, forgive me! Ill follow your orders from now on, I swear with everything I hold dear! Weakly, Wallace instructed, Trent, put the gun down.

Alright, Trent replied, lowering his weapon.

Clenching her fists, Hannah ordered, Keith, Trent, take him outside. Secure the area and tie him up.

Well deal with this slowly.

Understood! With that, Keith and Trent dragged a trembling Wilfred out of the room.

Once the ward was quiet, Hannah turned to Wallace and said, Dad, showing mercy to your enemy is nothing short of cruelty to yourself.

Wallace gave a weary smile and sighed heavily.

I understand.

But… hes still my brother.

I cant just stand by and watch him suffer.
