“The White family is certainly pulling out all the stops to get you back. No wonder Miss Moore acts so audacious. She knew she had powerful support.”
“Actually, Miss Moore didn’t intend to offend anyone,” Tasha said, confused by the unfolding drama but sensing Hannah wasn’t a villain.
Though unsophisticated, she had a sense of Valery’s character and didn’t think highly of her.

“Curious about the secret exchange between Mr. Morrison and Miss Bailey, are we? Brave of you.”
“Hahahaha.”
Laughter filled the air as Winona, striving for poise, managed a forced grin.
Hannah had planned to leave the banquet at the end, hoping to discuss the day’s events with Bryson.
