The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never
Chapter 1875

Melina kept a faint smile on her face as she watched Grace leave.

“So, Grace is loyal to you now, huh?”

Thinking the remark didn’t warrant a response, Hannah ignored it and redirected the subject.

“If you have something to say, just say it.

There’s no need to resort to using your lousy tactics on me like you did before.

”

“Oh, don’t worry.

I’m not here for that.

I just came to bring you some information that you might replace useful.

” Melina smirked and raised an eyebrow.

“I assume you’ve met Ryleigh.

You remember her, right? After all, she was bold enough to drug Bryson at the banquet last time.

”

Obviously, Hannah didn’t appreciate the reminder and glared at Melina.

“Where are you going with this?”

“Nothing.

Just that, she plans to do it to you this time to make sure you’d make a fool of yourself at the party tonight.

”

Melina shrugged, seeming indifferent despite sounding concerned.

“So you’d better not touch any of the drinks there.

Don’t say I didn’t give you a heads-up.

”

The idea sounded ridiculous, so Hannah couldn’t help but frown.

“So you only came over here to warn me that Ryleigh will try to drug me tonight?”

The smirk on Melina’s face grew wider into an almost ingratiating smile.

“It’s good that you understand.

Anyway, that’s all I wanted to talk to you about.

I’ll leave now.

”

As soon as Melina turned around, Hannah’s voice came up from behind her.

“Why bother warning me? What’s in it for you?”

By now, Melina had stopped walking and smirked weirdly once more.

Before she faced Hannah, however, she replaced the smirk with a delicate smile.

“Do you think I have any reason to lie to you? I simply wanted to let you know.

It’s up to you if you’d believe me or not.

If it turns out I’m lying, then no harm, no foul… you didn’t lose anything.

What do you think is there for me to gain in that?”

After saying that, Melina turned around and headed for a different passage in the garden.

For nearly ten minutes, Grace waited at the door for Hannah, anxious to replace out what happened.

“What did Melina tell you?”

Recalling what Melina had said, Hannah decided not to tell Grace so she wouldn’t worry.

“It’s fine.

Nothing important.

”

She then offered her a reassuring smile and diverted the topic instead.

“Do you know where your brother is?”

“He’s upfront dealing with the guests.

” Grace raised her palms up and shrugged.

“Grandpa’s old, so all social tasks have been handed over to my brother.

”

Suddenly, Grace seemed a little dispirited and grumbled to Hannah.

“My aunt and other relatives are also here.

Every time I hear them speak, their voice is always dripping with sarcasm.

It’s like they have nothing nice to say.

I was only in there for a few minutes and I’ve already clashed with them a few times, so I just came here to wait for you.

”

Hannah gently rubbed her head to comfort her a little.

When she glanced up at the terrace, she did see several noble ladies gathered together as they looked down at them with unfriendly eyes.

The moment they met her gaze, they rolled their eyes indifferently and whispered among themselves.

“Let’s go sit in the lounge over there.

” Hannah held Grace’s hand as they walked out.

“Your brother will be entertaining the guests for a while.

It’s probably better if we stay out of his way and let him deal with them.

”

Grace nodded and followed her obediently.
