The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never by Gilbert Soysal

ALL Victoria could feel was frustration, and her anger was about to burst.

Her friends noticed how infuriated she was, and they all kept their mouths shut.

They glanced at each other and nudged Sadie forward.

“Sadie, what’s wrong with you? You didn’t defend Victoria just now! You stirred the pot with those rumors before, now you’re just going to stand back and watch? Did you just use Victoria as your shield?”

As Victoria’s eyes flared up, she turned to Sadie and grunted, “Are you using me?”

Sadie felt the accusation like a physical blow, causing her to wince and discreetly pinch herself to regain composure.

“Why would you say that? I would never use you!” Sadie raised her eyes to meet Victoria’s, her voice tinged with a hint of fear.

“I’ve already mentioned my brother’s complicated issues with her.

How could I possibly speak up? Standing out today would only make her use my brother’s situation against me, leading to more trouble than we can handle.

I don’t want you involved with her.
