“Anyone who knows the situation understands there’s a charity event happening inside. Those who don’t might think it’s a farmers market with all the noise,” she muttered.
Hearing the irritation in her voice, the manager grew anxious.
His boss had high expectations for her attendance.
“Miss Moore, I apologize for the oversight. I’ll handle this at once.
My boss is awaiting you.”
Slightly frowning, Hannah didn’t want to make life difficult for the manager. Nodding silently upon hearing that Bryson was waiting for her, she decided to stay.
Relieved, the manager turned and issued a stern warning to Sadie and Eliana.
“If you two persist in causing disturbances, you’ll be barred from entering!”
His statement left no room for negotiation.

Declan’s face flushed with embarrassment, casting a dark and intimidating aura. Eliana felt a surge of anxiety and swiftly grasped his arm.
The tension on her face eased as she softly told Declan, “Maybe it’s best if I leave. I don’t want this to come between us. I’ll head out now.”
As she turned around to make her exit, Declan seized her wrist and shot a chilling glare at his sister.

“This crowd is filled with reputable individuals. Do you really think you can stay after stirring trouble? If you don’t leave now, don’t expect me to smooth things over if Grandma hears about today’s mess.”
Haunted by her lifelong fear of Allison, Sadie retracted her neck and dashed off, sobs trailing behind her elegant gown.
“Declan, was that really necessary?” Eliana cast a concerned gaze in the direction Sadie had vanished.
“She looked devastated.”
Declan shrugged nonchalantly.
“We’ll pacify her with a gift later.
Her presence here could make things worse. It’s best she leaves.”
Inside the venue, the stage glowed, a sea of opulent attire and champagne flutes swirling around it.
Hannah recognized many faces from TV and the financial papers.
