The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

She frowned and said, “If you’re determined to destabilize the company, could you at least avoid dragging Jalen into your mess? It’s common knowledge that newcomers like you aim to prove your capabilities.

Should things take a turn for the worse, Jalen will have to manage the situation!”Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Nodding, Johanna added, “Exactly.

Selling at such low prices would lead to cash-flow issues, and that would be something you couldn’t handle, Hannah.

Before Bryson could interject, Hannah silenced him with a glance.

Turning to Johanna, she said, devoid of any deference, “Are you even a part of the White family? You claim to act in the family’s interest but live off them while secretly aiding outsiders.

“How can she publicly degrade another woman?”
