The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never -
Chapter 71
“You think an extravagant dress makes you one of us? Quit fooling yourself.
You’ll never escape your lowly status, no matter who you sleep with.
”
His words demeaned Hannah, completely stripping her of her dignity.
The crowd cast pointed glances her way.
Some men eyed her with undisguised Lechery.
Before anyone could react, Hannah’s hand flew up, landing a slap squarely on Declan’s face.
“Miss Moore, have you lost your mind?” Eliana grasped Declan, looking concerned.
“Even if you became angry from shame, there’s no call for violence.
We’re all civilized here…”
“I’m not civilized.
Speak again, and you’re next,” Hannah cut her off, her gaze icy.
She flicked her wrist dismissively and turned back to Declan.
“Just because you’re a certain way, why assume everyone else is the same?”
Hannah shot Declan with a frosty gaze, stating, “I assume I don’t need to remind you that we’re in the midst of divorce negotiations, do I? Who gave you the right to comment on my personal life? You parade around with your mistress as if having an affair is something to be proud of.
What, is that your idea of being an honorable man?”
Eliana’s eyes filled with tears as she clung to Declan, whispering softly, “There’s got to be some kind of mix-up… Declan…”
The sound of the slap still reverberated in Declan’s mind.
Swamped with shame and indignation, Declan seethed at Hannah, “An affair, you say? You’re one to talk.
Planning on jumping to the next guy as soon as our divorce is finalized, like you’re hooking up to the young heir of the Davies family? Think you’re being subtle? Do you take pride in latching onto him? You believe a notorious playboy like that could truly care for you?”
Sarcasm dripped from Declan’s words.
“He’s just toying with you.
Offer you a few perks and you’re all in.

Just as Hannah was about to slap him once more, she felt a sudden warmth envelop her.
A heavy coat was dr@ped over her shoulders.
She caught a lingering scent from the coat and turned around, surprised to replace Bryson.
“Why are you here?”
“I’ve settled the matter inside and came to see you off,” Bryson replied, casting a meaningful look at Declan.
That one look left Declan anxious, cold sweat forming on his hands and feet, and he found himself speechless.
“I hadn’t anticipated witnessing someone tarnishing your reputation.
”
Though anxious, Declan feigned composure.
