The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never
Chapter 1238

She would be caught by the guards on the second floor if she left the third level.

Kohen, injecting his thoughts into the conversation, proposed, “It’s fine.

Miss Moore has done us a favor.

She can accompany us when we leave.

”

Bryson hesitated, then shook his head.

“I’m afraid it won’t be that simple.

”

His gaze fell, drifting downward to the lower floors.

“The intruder suspects she’s here.

Leaving now would just hand them her location on a silver platter.

”

“It’s fine.

I could slip past the guards and find my way downstairs.

I’ll manage.

”

Suddenly, Hannah’s phone buzzed, breaking the tense silence.

She quickly checked, finding two messages waiting for her.

One from Winston, the other from Trent.

Winston’s message read, “Miss Moore, where are you? Do you need assistance?”

Trent’s update came in next, “We’ve diverted the guards’ attention but can’t Linger in Jade Paradise.

We’re out on the street now.

Any leads?”

After reading the messages, Hannah locked her phone and tucked it away.

Her mind raced with possibilities.

The once perilous spot now felt like a haven for her.

Earlier, Alessandra had hinted at a staff passage leading upstairs.

With no surveillance on the third floor, Hannah decided to seek out this hidden route.

She nudged Bryson, determination flashing in her eyes.

“I’m Leaving.

It’s risky for you if I stay any longer.

”

As she rose, Bryson caught her arm.

“It’s too dangerous alone.

Let me escort you out.

”

“That’ll only draw attention.

I won’t be the reason Jade Paradise falls tonight.

”

Stepping back, Hannah regarded Bryson on the sofa.

An impulse seized her.

She reached out and pinched his cheek, but Bryson caught her playful fingers.

His intense gaze locked with hers, leaving her uncertain of his thoughts.

The warmth of his touch made her want to retreat.

“I… I really should go.

Enjoy your company.

”

Flushed with embarrassment, Hannah remembered the presence of another man in the room.

She quickly withdrew her hand from Bryson’s grasp and headed for the door.

Watching their interaction, Kohen nodded with confidence.

It seemed his hunch was right.

Love was in the air.
