The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never
Chapter 1535

“You haven’t ever met Miss Moore before.

Are you going to start rumors just because you’re a privileged heir?” one student questioned sharply.

“She thinks she can just throw us out of school with her tricks and influence.

How can we possibly stand up to her?” another student remarked sarcastically.

Victoria’s face turned crimson as she absorbed the mocking tones of the students.

“You!” she burst out furiously.

“You lowlifes! How dare you mock me?”

Hannah’s gaze turned icy as she countered, “They are lowlifes? And what makes you think you’re a princess?”

She wondered whether Victoria would remain so bold when she crossed someone more influential than the Archer family.

Still, Hannah decided it was futile to engage further with Victoria.

Victoria had no ties to her, so she had no obligation regarding the former’s fate.

Unperturbed by Victoria’s growing irritation, Hannah turned to the students with a reassuring smile.

“We haven’t met in a long time.

Since everyone’s gathered here, it’s on me-let’s enjoy a _ meal together on the second floor of the cafeteria!”

“Miss Moore! That was amazing!” the students cheered joyfully.

“Yeah! I knew Miss Moore cared about us!” another student chimed in warmly.

Hannah’s smile broadened as she declared, “If you know of anyone who’s free and isn’t here right now, give them a call.

Let’s all eat together.

”

“Got it! We’re gonna call them right now!” the students responded enthusiastically.

Victoria watched the cheerful group from a distance, a knot of envy tightening in her throat.

She scoffed disdainfully, “A simple meal in the school cafeteria hooks you all? Are you all stuck in poverty? Look at yourselves, so easily bought!”

Her continual taunts only deepened the students’ annoyance.

Cutting through the growing tension with a calm smile, Hannah proposed, “If it’s so trivial, why don’t you treat us?”

“Victoria stammered, her face flushing with anger.

“Why should I pay for them?!”

Hannah nodded in agreement and said, “If you can’t afford a meal in the school cafeteria, how can you call others poor?”

“Who said I can’t afford it?!” Victoria retorted defensively.

“I’m just wondering why I should treat them for no reason!”

Her friends quickly supported her.

“Exactly! Why should Victoria even treat them to dinner?”

Hannah looked at them squarely and countered, “If you won’t cover the bill, how can you criticize our dining options?” unm…” They were left speechless once more.

In a voice dripping with sarcasm, Hannah remarked, “Maybe you should avoid dining out entirely.

Wouldn’t want the humble settings to tarnish your esteemed standards.

”

Losing interest in prolonging the interaction, she guided her group of students toward the cafeteria.
