The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

Could you clarify whether there are any disputes within the Lyons family? And is it in any way connected to the death of the family patriarch? another reporter asked.

Remington faced the barrage of inquiries with composure, and replied firmly, I understand everyones concerns regarding my fathers passing.

I assure you that the family is fully cooperating with the police, and well be relying solely on their findings.

Just then, a reporter pushed forward, asking curiously, Word has it that Miss Moore from the Compton family has been brought in to assist with the investigation.

Is this true? Stepping forward, another reporter chimed in, Considering the tension between your families, why involve Miss Moore? Is there more to this than it seems? Immediately, all eyes turned toward Hannah.

She stepped forward with a calm smile and replied, Theres a mix of truth and exaggeration in these rumors, so dont put much stock in them.

My presence here is solely to aid Mr.

Lyons.

Theres no reason for unnecessary assumptions.

Her poised and professional response earned nods of approval from some of the reporters. Yet, suddenly, a doubtful voice emerged from the crowd.

But Miss Moore! Its been said that the Lyons family isnt particularly fond of you.

Is there any truth to that? Another journalist forced their way to the front and added, Ive also heard whispers that the Lyons family may be plotting something against the Compton family.

What do you have to say about that? Hannahs eyes flickered coldly as she glanced at Remington, revealing no emotion.

He frowned, taken aback by the unexpected turn.

She cleared her throat, shifting the crowds focus back onto her.

Let me clarify, misunderstandings between the Lyons and Compton families are not uncommon.

However, I wont comment on baseless rumors, nor will they affect the collaboration we have right now, she said smoothly.

Her response struck a balance-assertive, yet diplomatic, leaving enough room for future developments between the two families.

Remington cast a sideways glance at Hannah, his expression softening with gratitude for her timely support.

Standing beside him, Bryson leaned in and whispered, Perhaps this could work in our favor.

Remingtons eyes brightened with understanding.

Clearing his throat, he addressed the reporters once more.

My fathers death has been a tremendous loss for us all.

To honor his legacy, Ive decided to create a memorial fund in his name, contributing $80 million to charitable causes.

This unexpected announcement sent the crowd into a flurry of excitement, with cameras flashing and murmurs spreading rapidly.

Amid the frenzy, Remington, Hannah, and Bryson made their way out of the hall, leaving the media in the hands of the public relations team.

As they briskly walked down the corridor, Remingtons tense expression remained unchanged.

We need to find the source of that anonymous tips immediately.

Someone is clearly trying to derail our investigation.

Hannah nodded thoughtfully and said, Its also very likely that this person has ties to your fathers death. We should split up, Bryson suggested.

Hannah and I will check the hospital, while your team continues the internal investigation.

Remington nodded in agreement and turned to Hannah, saying, I appreciate your calm handling of todays situation.noveldrama

Dont mention it.

If the truth remains hidden, well all suffer the consequences, she replied coolly.

Just as they were about to part ways, a servant hurriedly approached, breathless.

Mr.

Lyons, weve discovered a hidden room in the study.

Inside, we found some… items connected to the Master.

We didnt dare disturb them.
