Chapter 58: He’s angry!
Hannah bit her lip in grievance, her eyes reddening as tears streamed down her face. "Daddy, someone set me up! Otherwise... how could I end up in Brandon’s bed? Boohoo..."
Brandon nearly gagged at Hannah’s melodramatic display but knew the priority was to apologize to Ella.
"Ella, I’m sorry... I’ve disgraced you. Please, forgive me. I’ll make it up to you, I promise," Brandon stammered, tears in his eyes, as he knelt before Ella.
Chloe scoffed, her tone icy. "Brandon, you wretched man, how dare you beg our Ella for forgiveness? Get lost!"
"Ella... Ella... please don’t abandon me," Brandon’s mind was in turmoil. He genuinely liked Ella and wanted to be with her, but now...
"Brandon! You just slept with me and now you’re begging her for forgiveness? Pathetic!" Hannah’s chest heaved with anger, furious that Brandon had suggested breaking up with her.
"Hannah, shut up! Look at you, where’s your dignity as a lady?" Robert snapped, striding over and slapping Hannah across the face.
Though Eric wasn’t fond of Hannah, she had still brought shame upon them in front of their esteemed guests, fueling Robert’s rage.
Hannah clutched her swollen cheek, glaring at Ella with resentment.
Brianna quickly pulled Hannah aside. "Stop talking!"
She was desperate. She had intended for the servant to drug Ella and Brandon, but somehow it had backfired onto Hannah.
