Chapter 62 A Look Of

Concern

“Miss Murray,” Hadley responded with a light shake of her head, her smile tinged with mild amusement. “Please excuse my frankness, but your father is a grown man–divorced and single. It’s entirely up to him whom he decides to be with now. Even as his daughter, it’s not your place to meddle.”

Vera’s expression contorted with shock. “So you won’t leave him?”

Steadily meeting Vera’s incredulous look, Hadley remained resolute. “Correct. I will stay unless Mr. Murray tells me otherwise.”

“You-!”

Vera’s anger intensified beyond her initial fury as she stormed in. Her brows knitted tightly together, her face twisted with rage.

“You have no shame! Do you think you can just charm men and get what you want with your looks? Well, watch this! I’ll make sure you can’t deceive anyone else after I’m through with you!”

In a surge of anger, Vera lunged at Hadley, seizing her hair with a fierce grasp.

“Ah!” A sharp pain radiated through Hadley’s scalp, causing her to cry out, her face contorting in agony. “What are you doing? Let go of me!”

“Let go?” A dark, menacing laugh escaped Vera. “Feeling frightened now? It’s too late! Just wait until I’m finished with you!”

Hadley wasn’t about to passively endure the attack. She swiftly grabbed Vera’s wrist, attempting to loosen her

grip.

“You think you can hit me? Didn’t your family ever teach you the consequences of being a home–wer?” Their struggle intensified, turning into a fierce tangle of limbs.

Caught off–guard, Lennon was at a loss.

“Stop this! Miss Murray, think what will happen if your father learns of this-”

“Let him find out!”

Vera’s defiance was evident. “Do you really think my father would choose a cheap dancer like her over his own daughter, even if I went too far today? That’s laughable!”

Reluctant to physically intervene, Lennon looked desperately to the others. “Someone help separate them!”

“Right!”
