The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

“Besides being empty-headed, you also lack basic decorum, picking fights in public like this,” Hannah added, provoking Sadie to the point where the latter almost lunged at her.

Just then, the event manager emerged, greeted by the staff at the entrance.

Recognizing the manager from previous encounters, Declan immediately pulled Sadie back and extended his hand, smiling, “It’s been a while, Mr.

Navarro.

”

But his hand grasped only air.

Ignoring everyone else, the manager headed straight for Hannah and greeted her warmly.

“Miss Moore, at last, I’ve found you!”

Declan’s expression shifted abruptly.

He hastily pulled back his hand and stared at Hannah, incredulous.

How could he extend such courtesy to Hannah?

Irritation surged within Declan.

Just then, Sadie’s piercing voice broke the silence.

“So you found an escort for show? You think you would look like a VIP with this charade?”

“Sadie, enough!” Declan cut her off.

Please, proceed through the VIP entrance.

”

“What? What are you talking about? She’s a VIP?” Staring at Hannah, Sadie blurted out, “Is this some sort of error? She’s an ex-convict.

How does that make her a VIP?”

The manager, emerging to greet Hannah, was well aware of her importance to his boss.

Upon hearing Sadie’s disparaging words, his face turned stormy.

“Young lady, you may hail from Valmere’s high society, but your comments are nothing but reckless slander.

You’re seriously lacking in manners.
