Chapter 660
He was actually thinking the same thing. Sometimes, when Cherry went to the hospital, all they got was the audio of her conversations.
It always felt like something was missing without the visuals, so he decided that next time, he would provide a small camera or something similar to give them a live view of the situation.
Samuel was a man of action. As soon as they agreed to wear the device, he immediately made a call to have one procured.
He specified that it had to be extremely small and discreet, something not easily noticed. If Cherry were found out, it would only arouse suspicion.
Just as Samuel finished his call, Cherry’s phone rang. She was complaining about who could possibly be calling at a time like this when she glanced at the screen and saw Lionel’s name.
She paused, then showed the phone to Hannah and Samuel.
They were both stunned. They never expected Lionel to call at this moment.
Why would he be calling Cherry?
Could it be that after suspecting one person, he was now moving on to her? But a moment’s thought would confirm that Cherry had no opportunity to commit the crime.
“Answer it and put it on speaker so we can all hear,” Samuel instructed. “We’ll stay completely silent. If he asks where you are, just say you’re in your room p>
Hannah added, “To be safe, you should actually go to your room p>
After all, with staff moving about in the living room, any unexpected noise could give them away.
At such a critical moment, they had to be careful not to make a sound, lest all their efforts be wasted.
Cherry led the three of them into her room before finally answering the call.
“I called you. What took you so long to answer? What were you doing p>
The moment the call connected, his furious voice erupted from the phone.
Anyone listening would have thought they were a couple. How could he speak to a business partner like that?
Naturally, Cherry wasn’t going to
take it. She held the phone and fired back, “I was taking a crap. Do you know what that is? Am I supposed to answer your call while
on the
toilet? Did you want to hear it?
Maybe next time I’ll take a picture for you p>
“What the hell is wrong with you? Cursing at me right off the bat.
You’ve got serious issues. I’m telling you, if you keep this attitude up, our partnership is over. It’s not like I’m desperate for the resources you provide p>
“Let me make one thing clear: my
family’s business will do just finet
without your resources Don’t act like we’d go bankrupt withoutyou What’s your problem p>
Hannah and Samuel were shocked by her crass language. It was so vulgar they had
to cover their mouths to keep from laughing out loud.
On the other end of the line, Lionel was also taken aback by her words, but he didn’t have time to argue about it.
As he was driving home, he had remembered something crucial. He’d called her the moment he walked in the door, without even stopping for a drink of water.
“I want to know why Hannah went to Quennel’s house today. Did you tell her p>
