Chapter 1821
Omar’s grin widened.
“I’m talking about my future fiancee, of course.
”
Before Hannah could respond, Jenny’s voice sliced through, dripping with sarcasm.
“Are you serious? Miss Moore is way out of your league.
Who are you to even think you stand a chance?”
Omar arched an eyebrow at Jenny.
“Really? And what’s that supposed to mean?”Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Jenny’s smile was sharp as a blade.
“Maybe Miss Moore thinks you’re just a nobody.
You don’t deserve her.
”
She glanced at Hannah with a smug look.
“She turned down your engagement in front of Grandpa.
He’s furious.
She’s just putting on an act for you now, Mr.
Morrison.
Don’t be fooled.
”
Hannah nearly laughed at the absurdity.
Did Jenny really think she was clever enough to stir up trouble right now?
Omar’s face went sour.
His gaze shifted from Hannah to Jenny.
“Miss Garza, let’s not joke around.
”
Jenny opened her mouth to retort, but Merlin’s stern voice interrupted.
“That’s enough.
Everyone knows you’re trying to cause trouble for Hannah!”
Jenny stammered, but the sudden sound of footsteps and murmuring voices from outside downed her protests.
“Mathews is here! What’s he doing? Is he here to disrupt the party? Should we leave now?”
“Look at Old Mr.
Garza’s face! He’s livid!”
The bodyguards at the door tried to stop Mathews, but he and his entourage pushed past them.
Mark and Claire followed him into the living room.
“What are you doing here?” Mark demanded with a hostile tone.
Mathews’s smile was disarming.
“Father, you’re hosting a banquet.
How could I miss it?”
He stepped forward, his eyes landing on Hannah.
“Are you Miss Moore? Even more stunning than I remember.
”
Hannah’s gaze remained steady.
She blinked and asked, “Have we met before?”
“Yeah, Miss Moore, you’re so forgetful.
I was the loser in that car race in Valmere, and you were the winner.
I haven’t forgotten that day.
”
Mathews added with a hint of sarcasm, “Oh, right.
Miss Moore, perhaps you don’t even recognize me.
It’s no surprise you don’t recall who I am.
”
Following his words, Hannah started to remember him slightly.
She had just parted ways with the Edwards family and participated in a racing event.
She recalled that a major player had wagered on the race.
Bryson had bet that she would win, and ultimately, he won the wager.
