Chapter 549

Quennel finally broke his silence, his voice laced with concern.

“If she really can’t get it out, why don’t you speak for her? If she keeps going on like this, she’ll just be wasting everyone’s time p>

Samuel nodded in agreement.

“We’re supposed to go shopping later. You’d better not waste any more of our time p>

Listening to them go back and forth, Lionel felt a headache coming on.

He didn’t know how to bring it up either, not with so many people watching them.

Sandra took a deep breath, and a sudden smile curled her lips.

In that single moment, something clicked. Quennel was the one who had kidnapped her. Quennel was the one who had hurt her.

She had done many bad things in the past, but she had also paid the price.

She had given back the money, returned the jewelry, and her parents were now nearly homeless. Her punishment had been delivered.

So what was there left to be afraid of? Besides, she was the victim. She had no reason to feel ashamed for them. They were the ones who should be embarrassed.

In that instant, a sense of clarity washed over her. She smiled and said calmly, “I’m talking about the incident where I was taken from Kiron by helicopter, brought back hère, and imprisoned in the basement of the Rosenberg family’s abandoned house p>

Sandra’s voice was even, and she ignored the strange and shocked looks from the surrounding tables as she continued.

“The person behind it all was Quennel. He tortured me for days. In the end, it was Lionel who found me based on a clue Quennel let slip and rescued me p>

“When I saw you the other day, I didn’t dare tell the truth because I was afraid you wouldn’t believe me, so I lied. But I’ve thought it through now. There’s no reason for me to hide anything anymore The person who kidnapped me, tortured me, and hurt me was Quennel. That’s what I came to say p>

After getting it all out in one breath, she let out a long sigh, her eyes fixed on Hannah without a trace of fear.

She had told the truth. Whether they believed her was their problem. And she had done what she promised Lionel.

Now, as soon as Lionel finished his part, he had to give her the money, the contacts, and the route out so she could finally leave this country and get away from all of them.

The surrounding patrons could hardly believe what they were hearing, and they began to whisper among themselves.

But the expressions on the faces of Hannah, Samuel, and Quennel remained exactly as they were before, as if they hadn’t heard a single word she’d said.

“Hannah, Sandra is telling the truth. She suffered greatly at Quennel’s hands in that basement,” Lionel declared, his voice full of righteous indignation.

He looked up at Quennel and

continued, “I sent people to get the surveillance footage, but he

destroyed it beforehand, which why I couldn’t find any proof. Otherwise, I would have proven he did it long ago p>

At that moment, Hannah asked, “You said on the phone this morning that you had found evidence. Where is it p>
