The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never
Chapter 204

“You’ve made it at last, Bryson! We’ve all been expecting you!” Upon spotting Bryson, Tyshawn promptly approached him, then shifted his focus to Hannah.

“Ah, Miss Moore, we meet again.

Tyshawn’s voice and movements drew the attention of the room, quieting other conversations to a hushed murmur.

Gossip had been swirling that Bryson had been seen with a woman lately, a rumor many had disregarded as baseless chatter, given that women were seldom seen in Bryson’s company.

Yet, here she was, proving the rumor true.

Hannah, not particularly fond of Tyshawn from past interactions, offered him a courteous nod and a faint smile.

Bryson seemed disinterested, barely acknowledging Tyshawn.

He turned to Hannah and softly said, “I’d like to introduce you to my grandparents.

They’ll be quite taken with you.

”

“Ah, hold on there,” Tyshawn cut in.

“Grandfather is preoccupied with business discussions for next year with the shareholders.

Now might not be the best time to introduce a guest.

”

A cool look washed over Bryson’s face, making Tyshawn step back a bit, looking somewhat apprehensive.

“I’m being honest, Bryson.

”

Hannah, her arm affectionately intertwined with Bryson’s, whispered, “You just got here.

It’s only respectful to greet the elders first.

I’ll stay put and wait for you.

”

Softening his expression, Bryson tenderly said, “I’ll return shortly.

”

“Understood.

Their exchange didn’t go unnoticed.

Everyone at the gathering observed it.

Those standing on the opposite side of the room could barely contain their indignation.

“Why does Hannah even have a place at this event? And why is she so cozy with Bryson?”

Sadie gave Hannah a spiteful look.

How could she forget that Hannah was the reason she’d nearly been kicked out of school?

“First she wreaks havoc on the Edwards family, and now she’s setting her sights on the Mitchell patriarch.

This bitch was utterly shameless!” Leah, who was observing Hannah from a distance, chimed in.

“After tarnishing our Declan, she’s moved on to charm someone from the Mitchell family! From the beginning, I knew she was trouble.

She didn’t even wait to catch her breath after her divorce before finding another man.

What does she even have besides a pretty face?”

Sadie’s eyes brimmed with quiet malice as she whispered, “Someday, I’ll make sure that pretty face of hers isn’t so alluring anymore.

”

“Ah, Miss Moore, you’re here too.

” Melina, dressed in an elegant dark green velvet dress, approached Hannah.

“Came alone? Bryson is probably tied up and can’t attend to you.

Hope you don’t mind.

”

Hannah offered a delicate smile.

“It’s fine, Miss Glyn.

Mr.

Mitchell and I came together.

He’s off talking to some elders.

I’m good on my own.
