The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

Lets not worry about him, Hannah said.

We should just focus on enjoying our meal.

After a while, Omar approached and slid into the empty seat at their table.

Mind if I join you for a meal? he asked with an easy smile.

Hannah glanced at him, her expression cool.

Actually, we do mind, she replied firmly, making it clear she wasnt interested in his company.

We dont want you at our table.

Omar chuckled, a playful glint in his eyes.

Miss Moore, its been a while, and youre still as cranky as ever? Mr.

Morrison, I dont think we have anything to discuss.

Hannahs tone was calm, but her gaze was resolute, revealing her determination not to back down.

Hannah, you know why Im here.

Ignoring her rejection, Omar leaned forward slightly, his expression earnest.

I mean no harm. There are just some things I think you should know.

About the feud between the Mitchell and the Morrison families-Bryson hasnt shared the whole story with you.

Dont you want to know what really happened? A hint of amusement flashed in Omars eyes.

I dont want to get involved, and I certainly dont want to know what happened between the Mitchell and Morrison families, Hannah replied firmly, her tone Leaving no room for debate.

You dont want to get involved? Omar sneered.

Then why did you step in when Mayfield from the Mitchell Group made his proposal at the shareholders His tone was to her.

meeting? challenging, clearly trying provoke Hannah flashed Omar a tight smile.

Whether I help or not is none of your concern.

Mind your own business, Mr.

Morrison.

Seeing Hannahs strong aversion, Omar smiled knowingly.

I know you still resent me for what happened in the past but Im here to discuss cooperation, he continued, his tone shifting to one of professionalism.

I hope you can approach this with an open mind.

Putting down her fork, Hannah looked at him coldly.

I am being professional right now.

I really dont think we have anything to discuss.

She locked eyes with him, her resolve clear.

Omar raised an eyebrow and spread his hands in a nonchalant gesture.

Miss Moore, youre being a bit quick to judge.

While there may be old animosities between the Morrison and Mitchell families, that doesnt mean we cant find new common interests, Omar said, his tone earnest.

Sometimes, the past can lead to unexpected opportunities.

Additionally, my visit today is to share important information regarding a significant challenge that the Mitchell Group may encounter in the near future.

Omar Lowered his voice deliberately, as if about to share a closely guarded secret.

Hannahs expression hardened as she fixed her cold gaze on him.noveldrama

Omar felt a surge of satisfaction at Hannahs reaction.

Theres a foreign power that wants to partner with me to bring down the Mitchell Group.

This force could be tied to the Lyons family or potentially linked to Peterson.

Hannah couldnt afford to make a hasty judgment, so she asked coldly, So what? So, Omar said, a subtle smile playing on his lips, Im here to propose a collaboration, Ms.

Moore. If the Mitchell Group agrees to step back from the Vanke project, Ill ensure that I dont partner with that foreign power against you.

Hannah narrowed her eyes.

You want us to hand over the project to you? Mr.

Morrison, do you honestly believe the Mitchell Group will relinquish its hard-earned achievements because of your threats? This isnt just about the project; its about principle.

Hannahs words were firm and resolute.

Omar chuckled softly, clearly having anticipated her response.

Ms.

Moore, your reaction is exactly what I expected.

But I came here out of respect for you, Omar continued, his tone shifting slightly.

Bryson may not have filled you in, but the challenge facing the Mitchell Group this time is significant.

You should really think carefully about what Ive proposed.

Your so-called cooperation is nothing more than a tactic to seize the project and neutralize the Mitchell Group as a threat to the Morrison family, isnt it? Hannah called out his scheme without hesitation.

Do you really think I would be swayed by this? Nearby customers were drawn into their conversation, casting curious glances their way.

Lydia, sitting next to Hannah, was on high alert, poised to intervene at a moments notice.
