Chapter 741
[Samuel]: I was so caught up in the drama, I almost forgot about this crucial piece of evidence. I’ll just edit this file and post it now.
A few moments later, Samuel had edited and posted the recording of the call between Lionel and Hannah.
【Some people are just cluelessly stupid. They get themselves into trouble and then try to drag me, Hannah, down with them. Let’s be clear, you two are in the middle of a divorce. Who in their right mind would testify for you? Besides, if you didn’t do it, why are you so anxious? Calling me in such a panic… looks to me like you did something foolish and now you want me to commit perjury for you. People like you are terrifying!]
Just like before, as soon as this post went up, the paid gossip accounts went wild, reposting it and adding their own sensationalized spin.
In no time, this story was also trending.
Lionel was already feeling incredibly dejected after his call with Hannah, but his heart sank even further the next second when he saw that Samuel had put him on blast online.
He had already made sure the elders were notified about his call to Hannah through their designated men.
He figured the elders should have received the message by now, but there had been no reaction from them whatsoever.
He had thought they were indifferent to the matter, but he never expected they would turn around and hang him out to dry online like this.
Panicked, he quickly tried to call Hannah again.
But to his dismay, he discovered she had blocked his number again.
“Mr. Rosenberg, Mr. Michael Rosenberg says he needs to see you. He asks that you come downstairs immediately.”
Lionel hadn’t expected the elders to hear the news so quickly.
He let out a deep sigh, his face a completely blank mask as he followed the staff member downstairs.
As soon as he reached the living room, he saw the three elders glaring at him, their faces dark and grim.
mea
“Lionel, let me ask you, do you desperately want to leave the Rosenberg family? Because every single thing you do seems to bring nothing but harm to us. Are you trying to destroy the Rosenberg family? If you are, then pack your things and get out right now. Don’t force us to throw you out.”
Mr. Michael Rosenberg slammed his cane on the floor, his face contorted with rage as he stared at Lionel, unable to believe he could be so foolish.
“I’ll ask you this: did you leak that information? Is that why you called Hannah, to get her to come here and commit perjury for you?” Mr. Edward Rosenberg demanded.
“Why are you even wasting your breath on him? Just kick this guy
out He’s useless,” Mr. Hed
his face filled with disgust
said,
contempt. The more he looked at Lionel, the more repulsed he felt.
Lionel sat down on the sofa across from them and took a deep breath. “I didn’t call Hannah to ask her to lie for me. I just wanted her to come and clarify to you, the elders, that I wasn’t the one who leaked the previous information.”
“This business with Cherry has nothing to do with me. I was just worried Quennel’s
side would fabricate evidence, which is why I thought to call Hannah.”
“I think you see us as a bunch of useless old men who can’t tell real evidence from fake, and that’s why you want to forge it yourself. Don’t try to make it sound so noble.”
Mr. Hector snorted, his eyes burning with anger.
