Chapter 417
Hannah’s words made Cherry shrink back, and she instinctively glanced at Grandpa and Grandma before quickly trying to explain.
“My parents’ business may be small, and they don’t hold the real power in the Temple family, but no matter what, I’m just trying to do what’s best for the family. You should stop twisting my words, Hannah p>
“Since you claim it’s for the good of the Temple family,” Hannah said, “let me ask you something. Grandma knew I was going to post online today. But not long after my post went up, the other side responded immediately. So let me ask you: did you know I was going to post and give them a heads-up p>
Cherry froze, shocked that Hannah had somehow figured out her perfectly executed plan.
But then she reasoned that Hannah probably just thought their reaction was too fast and, having no other explanation, was now trying to pin the blame on her.
“Hannah, don’t you dare make false accusations. I didn’t do anything like that. This is between you two. Why would a bystander like me get involved p>
Hannah let out a cold laugh.
“Since you know you’re just a bystander who shouldn’t get involved, why did you tell them, allowing them to react so quickly and try to suppress my post p>
Cherry shot to her feet, her voice rising in agitation. “I didn’t do it! Don’t talk nonsense p>
Hannah’s tone remained as calm as ever. “Can you swear that you absolutely did not tell the Rosenbergs that I was going to post p>
Seeing Hannah’s unwavering confidence, a wave of panic washed over Cherry. Could she have found out?
No, that’s impossible. Hannah must be bluffing, trying to intimidate her.
“Of course, I can guarantee it. I didn’t interfere. Why would I get involved in your business? Besides, what’s in it for me p>
Some people just won’t confess until the evidence is staring them in the face Hannah sneered. “I don’t know what you stood to gambut do know that you were the one who snitched p>

She picked up her phone, played the video she had downloaded from the security camera, and placed it in the center of the table.
“Take a look at the person in this footage. Tell me who that is. Open your eyes and take a good, hard look p>
Cherry looked, her eyes widening in shock as she saw the footage of herself hiding around the corner, which had captured her eavesdropping perfectly.
She swallowed hard, trying desperately to explain. “I just saw you two were discussing something and thought it would be awkward I came over, so stayed back p>
She felt a small sense of relief, grateful that she had made the phone call from her
room. Otherwise, she would have been completely exposed.
But to her horror, Hannah produced another recording. “My apologies. I planted a listening device in your room earlier. See? It’s come in quite handy of course you can call the police on me for bugging your room. I don’t mind. But right now, the most important thing is for you to tell me why you told the Rosenbergs. Did they promise you something p>
As the recording played in the living room, the air, already tense, became deathly silent.
