Brayden Davies, heir to the Davies Jewelry empire and notorious ladies’ man. His affluence and influence made switching girlfriends as casual as swapping designer outfits.
How had he crossed paths with Hannah?
Initially, Hannah had been reluctant to mingle with Bryson and his circle. Her gut told her that Bryson’s invitation at the contest wasn’t straightforward, but right now she had no desire to deal with Declan.
“Much appreciated, Mr. Davies.”
Hannah turned around and extended her hand towards Declan.
“Could I have my phone back, please?”
Wearing a grim expression, Declan still held her phone.
Before Declan could utter a word, Eliana, standing beside him, chimed in, “You sure get around, Miss Moore. First the Phillips heiress and now the Davies scion. How do you do it?” Her tone dripped with clear spite.
Sadie then added, “She must frequent all kinds of questionable events to get the attention of men like these.”
Eliana cut her off, “Don’t be so harsh, Sadie. Maybe she has her reasons.”
The pair’s coordination was flawless. Catching a glimpse of Brayden, Hannah roughly deduced their intentions.
They were trying to paint her as morally loose in Brayden’s eyes.
Before Hannah could retort, Brayden erupted into laughter.

“Ah, Miss Edwards, isn’t it? Been a while since I saw you dance on stage. Last I remember, you were at some club.” Arching an eyebrow, Brayden appeared genuinely intrigued.
“Speaking of which, where’s the guy who was clinging to you? Figured he was your boyfriend.”
At this, Sadie blanched.
Declan looked puzzled.
“What boyfriend? When did you hit the clubs?
Why wasn’t I informed?”
Panicked, Sadie stammered, “Wait, Declan, hear me out. Don’t tell our parents, please!”
Hannah, uninterested in the unfolding drama, gestured impatiently at Declan.
“My phone, if you please.”
Declan looked stern but ultimately handed back the phone without further comment.
Snatching her phone, Hannah opened the car door and slid in.
