Classic Novel
Chapter 3
For all her years as part of the Edwards family, Hannah had always been good-hearted toward Sadie.
Sadie was nothing but a magnet for trouble, always running to their mother when things went awry.
Once, Sadie had provoked the youngest daughter of the Mitchell family, finding herself held captive at the top of a tower by Bryson Mitchell, the family’s third son as well as the patriarch.
If not for Hannah’s intervention, Sadie might have been crippled for life in a fall from that height.
But Sadie repaid her kindness by labeling her a jailbird.
“No.
”
Hannah was resolute, locking eyes with Declan.
“I want the car.
You did promise, Mr.
Edwards.
You’ve always been so generous.
It’s just a car after all.
Yet, in that moment, Declan felt as if the woman before him was a completely different Hannah than the one who had been picked on all the time before.
Taking a brief pause, Declan coolly addressed Sadie.
“We have plenty of cars at home.
Go to my garage and choose one for yourself.

Sadie, however, was a pampered girl with a stubborn attitude.
Except for that one time she’d crossed Bryson, nobody ever dared to challenge her, especially not a woman with a criminal history Like Hannah.
Pointing an accusatory finger at Hannah, Sadie demanded, “Answer me.
Are you giving me the car or not?”
“No…”
Clap!
A stinging slap landed on Hannah’s right cheek.
“You’ve got some nerve, acting so audacious here.
Who do you think you are? You’re not even fit to serve me!”

Declan’s eyes flickered momentarily before resuming their neutral expression.
“Sadie, watch your language.
”
Cradling her slapped cheek, Hannah cast a sideways glance at Sadie.
“Clearly, someone failed to teach you manners.
”
Sadie’s arrogance grew; she lifted her chin in defiance.
“So what… Ah!”
Ignoring the flowers still in it, Hannah grabbed a nearby vase and drenched Sadie’s head with its water.
