Chapter 759
“Hannah.” Lionel sat down nearby, his tone cold as he spoke. “The three elders came to see you earlier. What did you tell them?”
Lionel got straight to the point, wasting no time on pleasantries.
He knew that in Hannah’s eyes, any small talk would just be seen as a stalling tactic. There was no point in beating around the bush; it was better to get straight to the matter at hand.
Hearing Lionel’s harsh tone, Hannah slowly lifted her eyes to look at him. She said nothing, merely sizing him up before letting out two cold laughs and returning her gaze to her phone.
【Wow, Hannah looks so incredibly cool right now!】
【Whoa, seriously, Hannah is mesmerizing. So awesome!】
【I have to say, Lionel’s attitude is so annoying. I can’t stand people like him!】
【Right? Can’t he just talk things out properly? He comes in acting like he’s interrogating a criminal. It’s so irritating to watch!】
“Lionel, can’t you speak respectfully? You come in here with such a hostile tone, anyone would think we did something to you. What’s with the awful attitude?”
Samuel put down his phone, crossed his arms, and took a deep breath before looking at him. “As for what your elders said to us when they came here, Cherry already posted a video about it. What are you still asking for?”
Cherry also lowered her phone and nodded. “That’s right, I already posted it. While it wasn’t the entire conversation, if you really want to know, I can have someone pull the security footage.”
“Go get the security footage for Lionel,” Hannah said, thinking Cherry’s idea was excellent, and immediately instructed a servant.
A servant heard Hannah’s command and immediately went to retrieve the footage.
“Lionel, I won’t say another word to
you until the footage is here. After you’ve watched it you can
say
whatever you want.”
Hannah lifted her eyelids and looked at Lionel, speaking in a deliberate tone.
Honestly, even now, Hannah wasn’t entirely sure why Lionel had suddenly shown up.
The content of her conversation with the elders had already been released, and it had nothing to do with him.
What was he doing here now, with nothing better to do?
She couldn’t figure it out. It was as if he had learned something and felt compelled
to rush over and question her about it.
But Lionel’s personality had become so

Before long, the servants returned with the retrieved security footage and handed it to Lionel.
Lionel looked at Hannah suspiciously, hesitating for a moment before taking the device.
“Hannah, you didn’t know I was coming, did you? You haven’t tampered with this footage in advance, have you?”
Seeing how readily Hannah handed over the device, Lionel couldn’t help but feel a surge of suspicion.
In the past, Hannah would never have given him something so easily. Her sudden compliance now made it

Yet, in the face of Lionel’s suspicion, Hannah remained silent, her head bowed as
she continued to play on her phone.
