The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

Makenna began to retort but found herself halted by Brayden’s follow -up.

“Be extra cautious on your drive home tonight.

You never know what accidents might occur.

”

Startled, Makenna’s face paled further, sensing the veiled threat.

Tyshawn lost all bravado, muttered an apology to Grace, and hastily exited the garden.

“Are you alright?”

Bryson shifted his gaze from Tyshawn’s retreating figure to meet Hannah’s eyes, warmth returning to his expression.

Hannah nodded her head and looked at Grace, who was securely enveloped in her arms.

“How about you, Grace?”

Grace appeared genuinely shaken, her eyes brimming with vulnerability.

“I’m okay.

Two lingering tears adorned her cheeks, rendering her both pitiable and endearing.

“Thank goodness you were here,” Grace added softly.

She clung to Hannah, gripping the latter’s arm firmly.

“It’s my fault, I apologize,” Bryson admitted.

Hannah shrugged off the incident.

“ALL that matters is that Grace is okay.

”

Exiting the garden, they stepped into the bustling hall.

The auctioneer had already begun presenting the evening’s items for bid.

In the front row, Lydia spotted Hannah and signaled her over.

Hannah took a seat next to Lydia, with Grace sitting beside her.

Lydia glimpsed Bryson next to Grace and whispered, “Hannah, you’re doing great! I saw that jerk with that nasty woman at the back.

I made a show of walking past them before sitting up front just to get under their skin!”

Tapping her forehead, Hannah advised, “Next time, just ignore them.

No need to stoop to their level.

”

A few rows behind, Declan had been intently watching Hannah ever since she reentered the hall.

He recognized Grace as Bryson’s beloved sister.

Why did she seem so chummy with Hannah?

Eliana noticed Declan’s gaze fixed on Hannah and felt a pang of worry.

She feigned surprise.
