The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never
Chapter 1845

“I have something else to do.

Stay put.

I’ll be there soon.

”

After reading his reply, Hannah set her phone down and returned to her meal.

After all, the party was held to lure the Moreno family over.

She didn’t need to join them.

Outside in a small garden, Ryleigh, still fuming, was taking out her frustration on the cracked stones beneath her feet, while her friends looked on, hesitant to intervene.

Ryleigh stomped on the gravel, her eyes blazing with anger.

Why was Hannah so arrogant?

How could she win against Melina? She was of a lower status! How could Bryson be interested in her?

Ryleigh breathed heavily with fury as she confronted her two followers.

“Do you think I’m worse than Hannah?”

The two exchanged glances and replied together, careful not to provoke her further.

“Of course not!”

Ryleigh’s expression eased a bit, but her face was still stormy.

“I thought I had a chance with Bryson if Melina didn’t, but now this bitch is with him! How can I not compare to her in family background and looks?”

Hearing Ryleigh’s frantic words, the two girls kept silent, not daring to disagree.

But deep inside, they couldn’t help but acknowledge that Ryleigh didn’t quite match Hannah’s beauty.

The girls kept this opinion to themselves, knowing it would upset Ryleigh if spoken aloud.

“Ryleigh, she must have played dirty to get ahead.

You’re much better than her,” the girl beside Ryleigh reassured, squeezing her hand.

“Even if she marries into the Mitchell family, Franco won’t accept her!” another girl said.

“Yes!” Ryleigh’s eyes lit up.

“You’re right! Franco must dislike that bitch! As long as Franco hates her, she’ll be ousted from the Mitchell family and her reputation in Valmere will be ruined!”

Ryleigh felt much better after expressing these thoughts.

“That’s right! Ryleigh, you’re absolutely correct!” the two girls praised her.

“You have the power to make Hannah suffer if you wish!”

Meanwhile, Hannah was eating when she suddenly felt a weird sensation, as if she were being watched by a snake, causing her to shiver.

She scowled, confused by this unsettling feeling.

Outside the banquet hall, Grace entered the banquet hall with Franco, his arm in hers, receiving greetings and congratulations from many guests.

With a gracious smile, Franco acknowledged each greeting.
