The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

“What do you mean?” Brayden asked, looking indignant.

“They’re selling off the land despite knowing that its value will double in the future.

If it’s not stupidity, then what else could it be?”

“Have you heard of the phrase, ‘the drinker’s heart is not in the cup’?” Bryson’s eyes narrowed slightly.

“I suppose we’ll know what they’re up to at the auction.

”

As the conversation drifted away from business talks, Brayden cleared his throat and spoke somewhat warily.

“How are, uh… How are things with Hannah? Is your cold war still ongoing?”

“Don’t you have anything better to do?” Bryson asked sharply.

“Right, of course I do!” Needing no further encouragement, Brayden shot up to her feet.

“I just remembered that I have some matters to attend to.

“What kind of opportunity are you thinking about?”

“We’ll discuss it later.

Meet up with me at the resort, and I’ll tell you all the details.

”

“Okay.

” Declan hung up the phone just as someone knocked on the door.

In the next second, Eliana walked into the room with a bowl of oatmeal.

She beamed at Declan and said, “You must be tired from work.

I made you a simple snack.

Eat it while it’s warm.

”

Declan’s brows furrowed slightly.
