The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

With help, Joselyn was raised to her feet; her cheeks quickly swelled, and blood oozed from the corners of her mouth.

“Oh, dear God!”

Exclamations rippled through the onlookers.

Unperturbed by the attention, Hannah waved the hand that had just struck Joselyn’s face and fixed her gaze on Valery.

Taken aback by Hannah’s bold response, Valery retreated several steps.

“What are you so afraid of?”

Hannah advanced toward her, taunting, “You’ve traveled all this way to stir up trouble, and now you’re scared?”

“You! There are guests all around.

If you don’t want to lose face, you…”

Valery had witnessed Hannah’s violent tendencies before and had assumed that with Joselyn’s presence, she’d be protected this time, and Hannah wouldn’t dare to lay a finger on her.

However, when she saw Hannah’s audacious slaps on Joselyn, panic washed over her, and she hastily retreated.

The banquet had reached its climax at that moment.

In the distance, several individuals wheeled in a colossal cake resembling a castle, towering nearly two meters high.

They pushed it toward the front of the hall.

Confronted by Hannah, Valery hastily retreated, her mind too rattled to register the voices of the onlookers.

All she wanted was a swift escape.

As luck would have it, the cake had been wheeled close by.

In her frantic retreat, she accidentally collided with someone behind her.

Desperate to turn around, she lost her footing and tumbled right into the towering cake.

“Ah! What’s going on?”

The crowd erupted in exclamations.

“Someone just tumbled into the cake!”

“Hahaha, talk about a stroke of bad luck!”

“Get her out quickly!”

Laughter and concern filled the air as all eyes converged on Valery, who had taken a plunge into the cake.

Hannah gracefully paused, taking a step back.

Her gaze fixed upon Valery who had plunged into the cake, her lips forming a subtle, enigmatic smile as she took out her phone.

The shutter clicked.

With a steady hand, she captured a clear photograph of Valery plunged into the cake.

Hannah then lowered her gaze, arched her eyebrow in a calculated manner, and promptly sent the image to Bryson.

Valery was promptly pulled out from the cake.
