The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

He continued, “There’s word from Kite that Amelie has fled with the faction she built within the Compton family.

Even though the Chadwich family is crumbling, Amelie managed to escape with a significant number of followers.

It won’t be easy to track her down.

”

Amelie had spent many years in the Compton family, so it was natural for her to have loyal supporters.

Without resources, Amelie wouldn’t have been able to cause such disruption upon Hannah’s return.

“I suppose she won’t give up easily.

Is Joselyn secured?”

Dotson assured her, “Joselyn can’t escape.

When Amelie fled, she left Joselyn behind completely.

Joselyn is currently under our direct control, and she’s being held in a room by the head of the Compton family.

I’m not sure about the outcome of the ongoing investigation.

Keith and the others should have more information on that.

”

Hannah remarked, “I’ll ask Keith about it later.

”

Joselyn had endured significant hardship in recent days.

Initially, she managed to occupy herself, but as time wore on, she seemed to unravel.

In less than two weeks, Joselyn had noticeably lost weight.

Her eyes were bloodshot, and her face was pale like a lifeless shell as she lay on the bed.

Refusing food entirely, she lacked the strength to even stand.

During this period, her father showed no concern for her well-being.

If not for the doctor, it would be a challenge for her to even speak.

One day, the sudden sound of footsteps echoed outside her door.

Joselyn tensed, glancing anxiously toward the entrance, only to see Keith and Trent enter.

“Why are you both here?” Joselyn recoiled, retreating further onto the bed.

“If you’re here to humiliate me on Hannah’s behalf, save your breath.

I won’t say a word, no matter what you do.

Trent pulled a chair into the room and sat down.

His tone was indifferent as he spoke.

“Regardless, you’ve been working for Amelie.

Even if you stay silent now, do you think you can remain in the Compton family? We’re only here to hear the truth from you.

If you refuse to speak, the inevitable consequence will be expulsion from the Compton family.

”

“You! You two.

” Joselyn’s anger made her body tremble.

“You’re both so ruthless.

Even at my lowest, I won’t submit to being bullied by you.

When Hannah wasn’t around, I was your sister.

But now that she’s back, everything has changed — your attitudes towards me, and even Dad’s.

”

Joselyn’s expression turned pained.

“I’m no longer the family’s little princess.

I’ve already compromised, but why do I have to bow down to Hannah in everything? I’m also a daughter of the Compton family.

If all Dad wanted was to reclaim his own daughter, why did he bring me into the Compton family in the first place?”

Joselyn’s hair hung loose around her face, giving her the appearance of someone on the brink of madness.

Witnessing her erratic behavior, Keith was unmoved.

He frowned and rebuked, “Don’t forget your actions in the past.

What right do you have to blame us now? You entered the Compton family through Amelie’s influence, not because Father ever acknowledged you as his daughter.

”

Trent’s gaze hardened as he spoke icily to Joselyn.

“Have you forgotten how you became part of the Compton family? You’ve always been loyal to Amelie, and yet you expect Father’s affection.

Perhaps you’re demanding a bit too much.

”

“You’ve had enough of Amelie’s control over you,” Trent said coldly.

“It’s not like you haven’t thought about trying to get on Father’s good side, but he’s never cared about you.

And after Hannah came back, all that resentment in you boiled over.

Even without her in the picture now, Father still won’t recognize you as his daughter.

”

“I’m not wrong.

I haven’t done anything wrong.

” Joselyn sneered bitterly.

“I’m just the loser.

But what about Hannah?”
