The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

They are watching me.

Frowning, Maloney looked at the door and said, Even if theyre keeping an eye on you, why would they follow you openly? I think they work for Remingtons father.

He must have ordered to tail me and not allow me to leave.

What do you mean? Maloney had no idea what had just happened, and Hannahs words left him confused.

What happened? Why did he get involved? Hannah recounted the events to Maloney.

You met Remingtons father and he wanted to kill you? Maloney had to take a long moment to process all the information.

After thinking for a while, he asked, What should we do now? You cant leave through the door, and theres someone outside the window.

It looks like they have you trapped in here tonight.

Maloneys frown deepened.

What if.

Ill figure out a way to make a scene at the villa in the middle of the night.

I could at least buy you some time and distract them enough for you to find an opportunity to escape.

No, hes brave enough to try and kill me.

You think hell hesitate doing the same to you? Hannah shook her head.

That wont work.novelbin

In any case, I have a feeling he doesnt plan to kill me off right away.

Otherwise, he wouldnt have waited.

He could have just done it when I was in the villa just now.

She didnt know why exactly he hadnt taken action, but Hannah deduced it had something to do with Remington.

Maloney said, Then whats your plan? They might not be making a move yet, but that might just be because they havent found a good time.

Either way, theyre not letting you leave the manor.

Could it be because of the horse racing tomorrow? Maybe theyre planning to make your death look like an accident.

That way, the Compton family would have no reason to blame the Lyons.

You came to this horse race yourself, and accidents arent rare in these events.

They could just frame it however they want, and its certainly possible with money.

You just said that you suspected Remingtons father had a secret relationship with Wilfred.

If he sets you up and you die, the Compton family wont look into it! Maloneys reasoning was logical.

Framing her death as an accident would be an easy way for the culprits to walk away scot-free.

Besides, their motives were obvious.

If it was true that Remingtons father had colluded with Wilfred, then Maloneys speculation would be the closest to the truth.

Maloney continued, Even if you stay here, you definitely shouldnt participate in the race tomorrow.

Hannah chuckled.

If they can force me to stay here, theyll find a way to force me into participating.

Id rather do it myself than just wait around.

Id like to see for myself how theyre gonna do it! Maloneys eyes widened at her declaration.

Are you crazy? These people want you dead and youre saying youre willingly walking into their trap? You dont know how things would turn out! No matter how daring you are, you cant guarantee your own safety! Im not stupid.

Of course I have my own plan.

If they really want to make it look like an accident, their only option is the horse.

Hannah narrowed her eyes.

Since theres no way out, itd be better to just charge headfirst and see what they come up with.
