Chapter 783

If Hannah had done it, it meant she had deliberately planned this, choosing to add to his troubles when she knew he was already facing so much.

Lionel had never imagined Hannah could be so calculating, her methods so ruthless. She clearly didn’t care about him anymore to do something like this.

But there was no time to dwell on that now. He had to deal with the urgent matters at hand.

“Lionel, look at what your wife has done! We don’t have time to deal with you anymore. Instead of arguing with us, you should be at home gathering materials. Otherwise, when you face Hannah in court, you’ll argue yourselves into a corner, and then your wife will really be gone. What will you do then?”

Mr. Edward Rosenberg reminded him, “As for the leak, don’t waste time debating who did it. Even if it was Quennel, so what? Do you expect us to issue another statement?”

“Another statement? Where would that leave the Rosenberg family’s reputation? Pack your things, go home, and prepare your evidence. Stop adding to our troubles. You can’t even get your priorities straight. I don’t know what you’ve been learning all these years.”

They truly didn’t understand how a man who was a titan in the business world, feared by all his rivals, could be so foolish when it came to matters of the heart.

If he had applied even a fraction of his business acumen to his relationship with Hannah, none of this would have happened. But in matters of love, the man was stubbornly, terrifyingly dense.

Listening to the elders, Lionel suddenly felt they were right.

After all, his obsession with whether Quennel was behind this was irrelevant now.

He was about to face Hannah in a divorce proceeding. Failing to handle that would be the real disaster.

So, he had to prioritize dealing with the Hannah situation. If he focused

on that leak

the publ

debate about the

uld naturally be ignored, fade

away, and eventually be forgotten.

Quennel had found a scapegoat and emerged unscathed, while he was the one left being slandered.

Although he had always known what the elders were like, he still found it hard to accept what was happening.

But acceptance was meaningless. No one cared whether he accepted it or not, whether he could let it go.

Not his own mother, not even Hannah. Not a single person cared about his feelings.

In that moment, he felt completely abandoned by his family, by everyone.

The feeling of having no one on his side was excruciating.

And in that moment, he suddenly understood how Hannah must have felt all those years ago.

Because she had been in the same position. Before finding her family, she had only had him. But back then, he hadn’t believed he hadre rusted her, and had constantly accused and misunderstood her.

Every time Hannah would tearfully tell him how hurt and wronged she felt, but he had never been willing to listen. He had even dismissed her feelings as being overly dramatic.

Now, he truly understood.
