The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

He uttered in short breaths, “Mr.

Wilde, Mr.

Lyons has asked for you and Miss Moore.

”

Rodrigo, losing patience, glanced at Hannah.

“Please, let’s not keep Mr.

Lyons waiting.

”

Hannah and Winston exchanged looks.

Hannah said to Rodrigo, “Fine, I’ll go, but he comes with me.

”

“That’s fine.

Mr.

Lyons is familiar with your companion anyway.

Let’s go,” Rodrigo conceded.

Hannah was escorted to the ship’s top floor, where the art show was held the other evening.

Upon her arrival, she saw Remington, the center of attention among a group of attractive women.

Next to him sat a man who seemed out of place, his long hair partially hiding his face, making it hard to discern his features.

Hannah couldn’t help but be drawn to him, sensing a strong, hostile vibe emanating from him.

“Mr.

Lyons, she’s here,” Rodrigo murmured, standing back respectfully.

Remington’s gaze locked on Hannah.

“Are you upset because I used you as the stake and still lost, Miss Moore?” he asked.

Hannah slightly tightened her lips.

“Me, upset with you, Mr.

Lyons?

How could I be?”

Remington chuckled.

“You can go now.

” He gestured for the women and bodyguards to leave.

Only the mysterious man next to him and Winston, who was with Hannah, remained.

Remington then looked at Rodrigo.

“You should leave too.

”

Rodrigo nodded and left without a word.

Now, only three of them were left on the spacious deck, and the air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Remington swirled his glass, looking at Hannah.

“I admit my mistake, Miss Moore.

Don’t worry, I’ll compensate you for it.

”

“No need.

I’m not short of money.

” Hannah declined firmly.

She then noticed the man beside Remington observing her intently.

Remington grinned and said, “I get it, you’re aiming for a big deal.

Let’s cut to the chase.

”

He glanced at Winston and added, “The guy with you, he’s the main man for the Compton family in Newfort’s Caditown, right?”

Winston replied coldly, “You’re surprisingly well-informed, Remington.

”

Shaking his head with a chuckle, Remington responded, “Oh, I’ve known for a while.

I’m looking to work with the Compton family, so I’m open to teaming up with you too.

”
