The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never
Chapter 1632

“Sure!” Grace replied, her face lighting up.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen my brother and grandpa!”

“Alright then,” Hannah agreed, before turning to Lydia.

“You two go ahead.

I’ll drop Grace off and then head to the hotel.

”

Lydia gave a nod of understanding.

“We’ll meet for the party tomorrow, then.

I’ll be waiting for you at the hotel entrance in the evening.

”

“Okay.

”

With that, they went their separate ways, Hannah escorting Grace to the car.

Once they were both securely fastened in their seatbelts, Hannah started the engine.

It was then she recalled the reason she had gone out.

It was to discuss the island with Lydia.

She cursed her forgetfulness silently.

Furrowing her brow, she tried to quell the rising anxiety within her as she drove in silence.

The quiet in the car seemed to weigh heavily, prompting Grace to glance at Hannah and ask, “Is something bothering you? You seemed a bit distracted earlier.

”

Was it that noticeable?

Hannah simply reassured her, “No.

”

Grace, treading carefully, inquired, “Is this about the school forum? I checked it again.

The person who started it posted an apology.

The original post that attacked you has been taken down.

”

“Yes, it’s all resolved.

Don’t worry,” Hannah responded.

She was driving at a moderate speed, blending seamlessly into the flow of traffic.

However, as they conversed, Hannah glanced in the rearview mirror and spotted a car trailing them.

It was an unremarkable black sedan, easily overlooked in the busy traffic.

Yet, it drew her attention.

Positioned behind two other vehicles, it seemed to mask its true purpose.

But soon, Hannah’s instincts screamed that something was amiss.

She hit the brakes abruptly!

The car halted at a traffic light!

Casting a wary eye on the red signal ahead and the black car in the mirror, Hannah’s casual demeanor shifted to one of concern.

“Grace, sit tight!” she warned.

“What?”

Grace was unaware of the situation.

She nodded and asked, “What’s wrong?”
