The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

Meanwhile, Hannah sat in a corner, dining alone while several young men attempted to strike up conversations.

“Would you like a drink with us?” one of them asked.

“Sorry, I’m not interested,” she politely declined, unwilling to engage with strangers.

Disappointed by her disinterest and intimidated by her confident demeanor, the men exchanged glances and departed dejectedly.

“Are you Hannah Moore?” a sharp female voice interrupted.

Hannah looked up to find three elegantly dressed women standing nearby.

They were a bit far for her to see their faces clearly, but their voice and tone indicated they weren’t friendly.

Hoping to avoid trouble, Hannah lowered her head and asked, “What do you want from me?”

“Who do you think you are?” sneered Ryleigh Hopkins from the left.

“How could Mr.

Mitchell choose you over Melina?”

Ryleigh was Melina’s best friend, the only daughter of the Hopkins family.

Arrogant and domineering, often wielding her power to intimidate others, Ryleigh had a close bond with Melina.

Ryleigh rolled her eyes.

“Let me be blunt, I’m here to cause you trouble today,” she declared.

“You’re shameless, meddling in someone else’s relationship and playing the mistress!”

Hannah frowned at the accusation.

“What nonsense are you spouting?”

Two girls flanking Ryleigh chimed in, “Stop pretending! Are you denying you’re not a mistress who meddled between Miss Glyn and Mr.

Mitchell? You shameless woman!”

“I’ve heard you got divorced because of your affairs and seduced men everywhere.

From the looks of it, you must enjoy messing around with men!”

Did they thrive on rumors?

Hannah stood taller than the women before her, sneering.

“I heard your father was unfaithful to your mother, and your mother also betrayed him.

You might not even be his daughter.

And I know you slept with this lady’s fiance.

”

The girl, stung by Hannah’s words, immediately erupted.

“What nonsense are you spewing? How dare you spread lies about me!”

Hannah raised her eyebrow.

“Didn’t you start this? Why get upset over a few words?”

Hannah didn’t take these three women seriously at all.

Hannah’s dismissive attitude only fueled their anger, causing them to rush at her impulsively.

Hannah had anticipated their move and had already retreated a few steps.

As they approached, she quickly kicked their knees.
