The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never
Chapter 1681

She gently stroked Melina’s head.

“I know you want revenge, and marrying into the Mitchell family is the perfect way to achieve it.

I’ve dug into Hannah’s background.

It turns out she’s from the Compton family.

No matter how eager you are, you can’t touch her now.

Only by joining the Mitchells can you create chaos from within and tear them apart!”

Mrs.

Glyn continued, “This is for our benefit, but also for you.

”

Melina found a strange calm washing over her as her mother’s words sank in.

She turned to look out the window, deep in thought, remaining silent.

Seeing her daughter calm down, Mrs.

Glyn stood up.

“For now, stay here and avoid further trouble.

Your father is losing patience.

Use this time to win his sympathy, not his disdain.

Get some rest.

I’ll see you tomorrow.

”

With that, Mrs.

Glyn left the room with her entourage.

As she made her exit, Melina’s voice cut through the air, cold and resolute.

“I understand now.

I’ll follow father’s and your instructions.

”

Finally, a smile graced Mrs.

Glyn’s lips as she turned back to her daughter.

“I knew you’d grasp the gravity of the situation.

My visit wasn’t in vain Meanwhile, Hannah obediently remained holed up in her hotel room.

”

Maloney, always preoccupied, had little time for conversation.

Franklyn, with his injuries on the mend, turned his room into a makeshift gym, tirelessly working on his rehab exercises.

As they languished in Franklyn’s room, boredom crept in for Hannah and Dotson, their only respite the monotonous flipping through TV channels.

“Boss, it’s been five days.

Are we really going to stay holed up in this room the whole time?” Dotson’s inquiry broke the silence, his tone reflecting the growing restlessness.

“We did go out a few days back,” Hannah replied casually, idly flicking through the channels.

“Does that even count? With an entourage like that, it was hardly going out,” Dotson said dryly.

“Ha! Ha! Ha!” Hannah replied with a cold laugh.

“That’s precisely why I refuse to go out and be a spectacle.

I’d rather remain within the confines of this hotel.

”

She hadn’t planned to be so compliant, but Bryson’s extreme measures caught her off guard.

The army of bodyguards was meant to ensure her safety, but it felt more like being trapped in a gilded cage!

A knock interrupted their con

versation, prompting Dotson to open the door eagerly.

“Mr.

Pierce, haven’t seen you in days!”

Maloney strode into the room.

“I’m here on business, unlike your boss, who’s been holed up in the hotel every day.

”

His voice echoed in the room, drawing his attention to Hannah, who sat flipping through TV channels with an air of boredom.

“Seems when she’s not busy with other matters, she’s here watching TV.

”

Hannah, without even looking up, fired back, “Yeah, just wasting away, unlike you, Mr.

Pierce, with your jam-packed schedule!”

In the realm of sharp comebacks, Hannah reigned supreme, leaving Maloney momentarily speechless.

He took a seat on the sofa opposite her.

“Miss Moore, can’t you take a joke?”
