Chapter 116

“Congratulations,” Hannah said calmly.

Sandra stared at her, stunned by her placid reaction. But Hannah had already anticipated this. After three years of Lionel spending his nights with Sandra, it was bound to happen, unless he had a medical issue. And the way Sandra had been steering the conversation, her motive was transparent.

“Aren’t you happy?” Hannah asked, blinking innocently. “Is it the old man from the blind date? Or did your parents set you up with someone new p>

Sandra gritted her teeth, unsure if Hannah was being deliberately obtuse or was genuinely that stupid.

“You know, your parents really don’t love you, do they? Forcing you to get pregnant out of wedlock just to bail them out. How will you ever show your face in high society? By the way, have you checked if the father is already married? That would be even more awkward p>

Watching Sandra’s face contort with rage, Hannah pressed on. “Anyway, good luck with that. My luck is so bad lately, I’m not even sure my divorce will go through. I might just be stuck like this forever p>

Sandra’s teeth felt like they were about to crack. “It’s not from a blind date,” she hissed. “It’s someone who has loved me for many years p>

“Oh, that’s wonderful! Someone who stood by you in your time of need. Though it’s a bit strange he made you get pregnant first… In any case, congratulations on your upcoming wedding. Don’t forget to send me an invitation. I’ll be sure to give you a very generous gift p>

Hannah glanced at her phone. “I have to run. Bye now p>

Sandra watched her leave, her entire body trembling with fury. You think you won’t get divorced? Dream on! If you don’t leave, I’ll make sure you die. You will not stay by Lionel’s side.

As soon as Hannah left the hospital, she got a call from Quennel. He’d found the person who hit her. They were already in police custody.

Hannah went to the station and requested a private meeting with Xenia. When Xenia was brought out in handcuffs and saw Hannah sitting across from her, she froze.

“Disappointed I’m not dead?” Hannah asked, reading the shock in her eyes.

“You have some damn good luck,” Xenia spat. She knew Hannah had been kidnapped before and was miraculously saved by Yves. Now after a car crash that should have killed her, she had walked away with minor injuries, rescued by Quennel. What was it about this woman that made powerful men constantly rush to her aid?

“Xenia, do you want to get out of here?” Hannah asked, ignoring her outburst. “You’re a lawyer. You know that if you were coerced into this, you can get a reduced sentence by telling the truth p>

Xenia’s face went pale. She blinked rapidly, unable to meet Hannah’s gaze. “I… I don’t know what you’re talking about p>

“I did a little research on your family before I came,” Hannah said calmly. “You, your mother, and your younger brother grew up together. Last year, your brother was diagnosed with kidney failure. Then you suddenly appeared at the law firm as Sandra’s assistant, and just as suddenly, there was money for his treatment p>
