Everyone knew Hannah Quinn was Bella Ward's most trusted confidante.
However, Hannah had long realized that someone like Bella wasn't worth her loyalty, let alone her sacrifices.
Since she wasn't worth anything, Hannah wasn't going to waste another second on her.
From the moment Bella introduced her to Brandon Mercer, only to refuse to put in a good word for her, all the way to letting Hannah lose a massive chunk of her own paycheck without a second thought, Hannah knew Bella was a lost cause.
Now that Bella was drowning in disaster, Hannah secretly hoped she would just crash and burn entirely.
That way, they wouldn't even have to see each other at the office anymore.
Those lost thousands of dollars had basically been life-saving funds for her.
Her closest family member had been lying in a hospital bed waiting for surgery money, and Bella hadn't shown a shred of concern from start to finish.
Even a casual friend, or just an ordinary coworker from the same department, would have at least sent a fruit basket out of basic courtesy.
But Bella? She claimed they were best friends, practically sisters, yet treated Hannah like a glorified servant. When she needed something, she demanded it. When she didn't, she treated Hannah like she didn't exist.
Meanwhile, having heard Hannah's update, Bella couldn't afford to care about office politics.
She immediately focused on her most urgent task: selling her car.
Although buyers had slashed the price by a massive margin, she still managed to secure millions of dollars in cash, which temporarily solved her desperate need for liquid funds.
However, offloading her Mercer Group Shares was a completely different nightmare.
Bella had reached out to every connection she had, but couldn't find a single buyer.
The moment they heard the shares were tied to the Mercer Group, they instantly lost interest.
