Their Queen Returns novel Chapter 391

Chapter 391

I’m guessing your new faction doesn’t want to butt heads with your sister’s, right? So instead of wearing yourself out, why not take advantage of the resources already at your fingertips?”

Fay’s words made Winifred pause, deep in thought.

Worried she might think he was scheming or had some hidden agenda, Fay slowly stood up. I’ve been by your sister’s side for twelve years. Even if it cost me my life, I’d never betray her. But hey, take this however you want–just a suggestion, totally up to you”

Just as Fay was about to walk out the door, Winifred called out to him. “Alright, I’m in.

Winifred never expected to run into Sean on her very first mission

She’d just finished the job and was about to turn and leave when Sean suddenly grabbed her ankle. He was sprawled on the ground. barely hanging on, gasping for breath, and looking like he could die any second

Winifred’s face stayed blank, her eyes icy sharp as she kicked him off without hesitation.

But he just latched onto her leg with a death grip.

She said coldly, “Ger lost.”

Sean gritted his teeth, stubbornly refusing to let go. “Save me, I’ll pay you–however much you want

Winifred really didn’t want to get dragged into his mess. Last time she stuck her nose in, she ended up owing Fay a favor.

She knew that running into him was always bad news.

No matter how hard Winifred kicked or punchied, Sean just wouldn’t let go. He clung to her leg like a drowning man grabbing a lifeline.

After struggling for a while, Winifred heard voices coming from nearby. “Search every inch! He has to be close–he can’t get away.”

Someone said, “He’s badly hurt. He’s not getting out of this alive. Make sure he’s dead so there’s no trouble later.”

Another one said urgently, “There’s movement up ahead! Hurry!”

Winifred frowned, realizing she couldn’t shake Sean off. With no other choice, she hauled him up and dragged him into a hidden spot to hide

Sean was still struggling, so Winifred gave him a sharp slap across the face, which finally made him behave.

Once the searchers had left, Winifred helped him out from their hiding place, hailed a cab, and took him straight back to the Lecter family home.

“Miss, who are you looking for?” The elderly butler opened the door.

Winifred said, “I ran into this guy on the street. He said this was his home, so I brought him back to your

The butler leaned in for a closer look and instantly recognized Sean.

“Oh my goodness!” he cried out, raising his voice, Madam! Sir! Mr. Sean Lecter is back! A girl saved him and brought him home! Hurry, come quick!”

In a flash, all the servants and bodyguards came rushing out, followed by a fancy–looking couple–probably Sean’s parents.

“I just ran into him on the street. No need to thank me.” With that, Winifred turned to leave.

Diane Lecter, Sean’s mother, hurried forward “Miss, wait! Please, don’t go! You saved my son–we don’t even know how to thank you!

Winifred replied, “No need.”

“Miss, you don’t understand. He’s our only son, and now you’re our family’s savior. Please, come inside! Whatever you want, we’ll do anything to repay you, Diane pleaded.
