The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

Hannah quirked an eyebrow, then glanced at the person who had earlier insisted the diamond was a fake.

“Yet she claimed it was fake and even said she could vouch for it.

The young girl retreated in fear next to Johanna.

“Johanna, I… I may have been wrong! I didn’t intend any harm! Why is she making such a big deal out of it?”

Offering a sympathetic gaze toward Hannah, Johanna said, “Hannah, she’s young.

Could we not make a fuss over a trivial matter?”

“Actually, no.

Hannah offered a sly smile.

“Hannah, I’ll get her to apologize.

Don’t let this upset you.

She is also a student of our university.

Enjoy the party.

I won’t be a bother.

Hannah turned around and exited alongside Mary, with Edwin and Bainbridge trailing behind her.

“Hannah!” Bainbridge intervened.

“I messed up today.

I judged you too quickly.

But Johanna had good intentions inviting you.

No need to hold her responsible for my mistakes.

”

Hannah zoned in on the point of his statement.

“So, are you blaming me or apologizing?”
