Hannah turned to face Sadie, a smirk ying on her lips.


    “Congrats!


    You might just be behind bars until you’ve earned your degree.

    A shade of fear washed over Sadie’s face, her confidence wavering.


    As if on cue, Den and Eliana walked in.


    Den warned, “Don’t push it, Hannah.


    ”


    Upon spotting her brother, tears welled up in Sadie’s eyes.


    “Den, save me!”

    But before she could rise, she was restrained by the officers beside her.


    With quivering lips, Sadie sobbed out to Den, “Den, she’s wronged me!”


    Den’s icy stare settled briefly on Hannah, then shifted to the officers, dering, “We wish to post bail for her.


    ”


    Hiswyer began to step up, but an officer halted him with a raised hand, stating, “Given the evidence at hand, she’s facing a jail term and isn’t eligible for bail at the moment.


    ”


    Sadie was in shock, unable to believe she couldn’t secure her release.


    She clung to Den’s shirt and sobbed loudly, “Den, help me! You just can’t leave me here!”


    Den was irritated.


    He looked at Hannah and asked, “Is there room for making amends?”


    “Making amends? Now you ask?” Lydia, sitting beside Hannah, scoffed, “Where were you when Sadie was busy ruining Hannah’s reputation online? Practically invisible, that’s where.


    ”


    “Miss Phillips, it’s not on Den.


    We only found out today,” Eliana interjected, holding Den’s arm.


    Facing Hannah, she continued, “Miss Moore, if you have any qualms about the prior divorce agreement, you can speak directly to Den.


    There’s no need to use this as an excuse to hurt Sadie.


    We can renegotiate terms.


    The Edwards family won’t mistreat you.


    ”


    Narrowing his eyes, Den red at Hannah.


    “Hannah, I really misread you.


    You’re ruthlessly opportunistic!”


    “Shame on you! It’s you who…” Lydia fumed.


    Hannah silenced her indignant friend.


    She turned her gaze on Den, posing a question.


    “Was it me who had her post nderous stories about me online? Did I pay people to spread rumors about me on social media? Or invite reporters and school board members to the principal’s office?”


    Hannah smirked, disdain clouding her eyes.
