The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never
Chapter 1564

Clive held the bank card in his hand and watched as Hannah walked away, lost in thought.

Hannah opened the back door and climbed into the car.

Dotson turned to her and asked, “Boss, where to next? Go back to Hoijery?”

“No, we’ll stay in Valmere for a few days.

We’ll leave once everything is settled.

”

Maloney chimed in, “Since I’ve served as your decoy, how about a little something for my trouble?”

“I do have a patent on a medicine.

” Hannah turned towards Maloney and proposed, “You’re free to use it for three years.

You might take this as a chance to consider whether to venture further into the biological pharmacy business.

”

Maloney saw no reason to decline such an enticing offer.

He nodded and said, “That seems fair.

I’ll definitely help you.

”

Hannah directed Dotson to drive them back to her hotel and arranged for both of them to stay for a week.

As the elevator doors opened, her phone began to ring.

She pulled out her phone and saw it was Scarlett calling.

Hannah answered the call.

“Scarlett, what’s going on?”

There was no reply, but Hannah could hear crying from the other end.

“Scarlett? Are you crying?” With a frown, Hannah used her room card to open the door, walked inside, and shut it behind her.

“What’s the matter?”

“Miss… Miss Moore… I think I’ve gotten you into trouble.

And I’m in quite a mess myself.

”

Hearing the distress in Scarlett’s voice, Hannah reassured her softly, “It’s alright.

Just tell me what happened.

If you can’t handle it, I will.

”

It was only after Hannah’s comforting words that Scarlett began to calm down.

Scarlett, speaking through a nasal voice, relayed to Hannah all the events of the day.

“At that time, I was quite upset… Later on, I realized I was in deep trouble and it was beyond me to fix it.

Miss Moore, I honestly did not intend to place such a bet with her.

My thoughts were in a mess at the moment.

She baited me into agreeing.

Now, it’s too late for regrets…”

Victoria was always stirring up problems.

Given the slightest opportunity, she would cause chaos.

Since Victoria was still a student, Hannah initially chose to pass over her rude remarks.

But now an opportunity arose for Hannah to teach her a lesson.

As silence filled the other end of the line, Scarlett gripped the phone with anxiety.

“Miss Moore… Are you upset?”

“No, you’re not entirely to blame.

” Hannah responded calmly, “Don’t worry.

Rest well.

I’ll take care of it.

”

“But…” Scarlett faltered.

From the other end, Hannah’s voice came softly, reassuring her, “Don’t worry.

Everything will work out.

”

“Thank you, Miss Moore.

I’m sorry to trouble you.

”
