The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

Hannah moved closer, opening the box to discover several old photographs.

She easily recognized the first photo as that of her mother in her youth, but the others seemed to be candid shots from different perspectives.

When she reached the last one, her eyes widened in shock.

It was a group picture taken here, and one face bore a striking resemblance to Bryson’s.

Hannah’s fingers traced the face of the woman standing beside the man.

The woman was smiling sweetly while embracing the man who looked Like Bryson.

This must have been the Moreno family in earlier days…

Due to the photo’s age, many details were faded, and Hannah could only vaguely recognize a few familiar figures.

She returned the photographs to the box, closed it, and then surveyed the secret room again.

A few seconds later, her gaze fell upon a picture frame nearby.

She approached it, noticing it held images of her mother’s travels from decades ago.

In the photos, her mother beamed with joy.

Hannah sensed that whoever had taken these photos must have cared deeply.

After leaving the hidden room, Hannah rotated the glazed jar once more, watched the secret area gradually disappear, and then turned to exit.

Dotson, visibly anxious, glanced upstairs.

“What could the boss possibly be looking for up there? Why hasn’t she come down?”

“Relax.

She knows what she’s doing.

We just need to wait,” Dilan reassured him.

Dotson sighed, eyeing Dilan.

“How can I not worry? I’m afraid something might have happened!”

After a few seconds, Dotson said firmly, “I can’t stand it anymore!”

Frustrated, he sprang from the couch.

“I’m going up to check!”

“Hey!” Dilan followed quickly, trying to stop him.

“Hold on a bit!

She’s up there alone.

What could possibly go wrong?

While the two debated about going upstairs, Hannah appeared on the staircase.

“Boss!”

They called out, one after the other, and Hannah nodded indifferently.

Noticing her mood, Dotson approached cautiously and asked, “Boss, did you find anything?”
