The Prison-Made Queen novel Chapter 360

Tamara clenched her phone, her chest aching with a suffocating pressure.

What exactly had Hackett told them? Why had even Zeus, following in Josiah’s footsteps, started brushing her off?

...

In the Sloan family garden.

Tamara sat on a swing, feeling a wave of self-pity after being rejected by both Josiah and Zeus. Her eyes were red, and she felt as if all her strength had been drained away.

The time to return to the Sherwoods was approaching fast. Tamara still hadn’t found anyone to help her. This was a stark contrast to her old life with the Sloans, where she was the pearl in their palm, commanding everyone’s attention.

Tamara couldn’t accept this drop in status. She thought of her last hope in the Sloan family.

“Clive...” She murmured the name.

Speak of the devil. Just as she whispered his name, footsteps approached from behind, followed by Clive’s lazy voice.

“Who upset our little princess? Why the long face on your visit home?”

Tamara whipped her head around. Seeing Clive’s roguish face, her tears instantly began to fall. “Clive!”

Tamara wanted to complain more. However, Clive interrupted her by pinching her cheek. His tone was relaxed. “Alright, stop crying. I know why you came back today. It’s just because Milford is ignoring you, right? Is that such a big deal? Don’t worry. Men are like that. Just freeze him out for a few days, and he’ll come crawling back to you.”

Tamara sniffled. “Really?”

“Of course. When have I ever lied to you? Just wait and see. Once this whole thing blows over, turn on the charm with Milford for a while, and you’ll have him wrapped around your finger. When all this drama is over, I’ll take you out to party!”

Tamara’s insecurity eased slightly under Clive’s comfort. She hesitated at his offer, but finally nodded.

“...Okay.”
