Chapter 547
Looking at Hannah’s arrogant demeanor, Sandra found it impossible to imagine this was the same woman who used to be so desperately in love with Lionel, never daring to defy a single word he said. Whatever he wanted, he got.
But the Hannah of today was completely different. Not only did she ignore Lionel’s requests, but she dared to adopt such a haughty attitude.
Of course. Now that she had found her biological family, she’d become so brazen. Having powerful backing really made a difference. And on top of that, there was Quennel, her devoted lapdog, treating her so well.
Lionel spoke again, but Hannah remained silent. It was Samuel who piped up.
“Is that how you make a request? Just moving your lips and saying a few words? Your method of asking for things is quite unique. Unfortunately for you, all the private rooms are already booked. It’s not that we didn’t want to book one, they were just all taken p>
It was a lie no one would believe.
Even if the rooms here were booked, they could go somewhere else. When he had business to discuss in the past, he always found another venue; he never deliberately chose a public setting like this. It was obvious they were intentionally making things difficult.
“If you’re unwilling to talk here, then you can go home. After all, I made the reservation yesterday. From the look on your face, you seem to suspect I deliberately chose this place after you called p>

“What’s not good about it? I’m not the one who did anything wrong, so why should I be worried about being overheard? If you think this is a shameful matter, then don’t bring it up. You were the one who insisted on talking to me. I didn’t even wants to bother with you yesterday, but your you were so persistent that I
specifically made time today p>
Hannah let out a long sigh, her eyes fixing on him with stern intensity in a low voice, she asked again, “Ill äsk you one more time. Are you going to talk? If not, leave now p>
Seeing that he was actually planning to talk right there, Sandra grew extremely worried.
No matter how quietly they spoke, the people around them would surely notice, and the whole thing would end up as gossip online.
Sandra shuddered at the thought and instinctively tugged on Lionel’s sleeve, whispering.
“We have time. We don’t have to talk about it now. We can talk later, can’t we? There are so many people here p>
He felt the same way, but would there really be a next time? This might be their last chance. If he tried to contact Hannah again, she probably wouldn’t agree to meet him.
“Then we’ll talk here. I didn’t do anything, so what do I have to be afraid of p>
