The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

Realizing the man would persist if she didn’t comply, Hannah sighed and replied, “Let’s go.

Lead the way.

”

“This way, please, Miss Moore.

”

A group of young men and women occupied the plush sofas near the banquet, and Hannah was ushered towards them.

These individuals regarded Hannah with evident disdain.

Upon seeing her, Joselyn rose from the sofa and introduced Hannah to the assembled guests.

“Meet my sister, Hannah.

”

These people shared a close rapport with Joselyn, evident in their unfriendly attitude towards Hannah.

After the introductions, someone expressed disdain and initiated a critique.

“Do you honestly believe that this is a social circle one can easily assimilate into? Is this party open to every Tom, Dick, and Harry?”

“Miss Moore, don’t you realize that in our circle, it’s not about family ties but rather about capability? Even if you manage to sneak in now, you’ll face severe consequences down the Line!”

“Joselyn’s skills are top-notch.

How can you compete with her?”

“Absolutely.

Today marks the celebration of your joining the Compton family, but the head of the Compton family refuses to alter your surname.

Don’t assume a mere party can elevate your social standing.

”

Joselyn, seemingly attempting to diffuse the tension and advocate for Hannah, remarked, “Don’t say that.

My sister just joined us a little late.

I can guide her.

”

Turning to Hannah with a smile, Joselyn asked, “Am I right, Hannah?”

Returning the smile, Hannah replied, “At times, I show too much respect to you, right? Do you think there won’t be consequences if you continue provoking me?”

Her words left the crowd surprised.

A man in the assembly stood up, defending Joselyn, he said, ‘“Joselyn, I’ve told you she’s an uneducated woman from start to finish! She’s in no way comparable to you.

”

Hannah couldn’t help but agree, nodding, “I share the same thoughts.

I don’t believe I could match her in terms of being thick-skinned.

”

Upon hearing Hannah’s candid words, Joselyn nearly erupted, on the verge of unleashing a tirade.

Her face reddened with embarrassment.

“You.

How could you insult me like this?”

Arching her eyebrows, Hannah retorted, “I didn’t insult you.

Isn’t it the truth?”

“Joselyn, ignore this type of woman.

She’s quite sharp-tongued!”

Joselyn’s eyes brimmed with teardrops, on the verge of spilling over.

“Hannah, you know it well.

Why would you say such things to me? It really saddens me.

”

“Joselyn believes that you’re not used to living in a foreign country, so she specifically prepared gifts for you.

And this is how you treat her?”
