The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never
Chapter 1848

“Yeah,” Franco replied.

“Are you saying all this because you’re jealous of Hannah?”

Franco’s words hit the mark, and Ryleigh bit her lip, looking embarrassed.

“No, I didn’t.

.

”

“Then why did you talk bad about Hannah?”

Franco’s voice was low and intense, making Ryleigh shiver.

“I’m just telling the truth.

People say she used your grandson to hook up with other guys.

If it’s all lies, why are there rumors? They can’t be without reason.

”

Ryleigh was still trying to make her case to Franco.

“Since Miss Glyn is no longer an option, if your grandson marries Hannah, the Mitchell family could have big problems.

”

Franco smiled and looked at her.

“So, who do you think would be better for Bryson?”

She clearly wanted to suggest herself for the marriage, but Franco pretended he didn’t understand what she meant.

“Look, Mr.

Mitchell!” Ryleigh sounded a bit anxious.

“I think my family background is better than Hannah’s.

I can help your grandson more.

You should consider choosing me.

”

Franco smiled knowingly and said, “I see what you’re doing.

You’re trying to lift yourself up by putting Hannah down.

”

With his years of experience in the business world, Franco could tell Ryleigh was lying, but he didn’t want to call her out.

He just sneered and said, “I’m not really into getting involved in my grandson’s affairs, especially his love life.

”

Ryleigh froze, her face turning pale.

This was nothing like what she had expected! Wasn’t Franco supposed to get angry and tell Hannah to leave the banquet?

Franco looked at Ryleigh with a wry smile and said, “I don’t want to hear any more of that slander.

”

Franco made it clear he was on Hannah’s side, so he couldn’t stand her badmouthing Hannah.

Ryleigh bit her lip and replied in a hurt tone, “Mr.

Mitchell, I was just being impulsive.

I believed the rumors and thought it was her fault.

Since Miss Moore is getting along well with your grandson now, it’s a relief to me.

”

Ryleigh was shifting all the blame and acting like she didn’t know anything.

Franco didn’t want to waste time with someone like her.

“If there’s nothing else, you can head back.

I’ve got things to deal with here.

”

“Alright…”

The smile disappeared from Ryleigh’s face as soon as she turned around.

That lousy bitch, Hannah!

After Ryleigh left, Franco called Grace back from the garden.

When Grace returned, she saw that Franco was in a bad mood, so she asked, “What’s wrong, Grandpa?”
