Chapter 750
Hearing Hannah say this, Quennel’s brow furrowed tightly.
“Hannah, do you have any idea what kind of impact this will have on our two families? This is ultimately a matter between you and Lionel. There’s no need to drag both families into it.”
Quennel spoke with a troubled expression. Seeing Hannah looking so composed, as if oblivious to the potential consequences, his headache worsened.
“The elders have always been like this. Besides, this situation is quite serious, and they just wanted to resolve it quickly, so their tone might have been a bit harsh.”
“And you’ve interacted with the elders before. You know what they’re like. They aren’t bad people at heart. So for you to condone what Cherry did… it’s really not right.”
Hannah’s lips thinned. She seemed about to say something, but in the end, she just let out a long sigh that turned into a faint smile, saying nothing at all.
“Hannah, please, make Cherry delete the video now and help us clear the trending topics. If we handle this before the elders get truly angry, maybe…”
“I will absolutely not delete it.”
Cherry, having heard their voices, walked over with light, slow steps.
She sat down next to Hannah and scoffed, “When your elders came over yesterday,
I believe I already told them it’s called freedom of speech and freedom to post.”
“No matter how powerful your Rosenberg family is, you can’t control what people post, can you? This country doesn’t belong to the Rosenbergs. Besides, I already blurred their faces in the video.”
Cherry had anticipated that after she posted the video, they would come looking for trouble.
She just didn’t expect it to be so soon, or that it would be Quennel himself who came. That was certainly a surprise.
It seemed she had really struck a nerve this time to warrant a personal visit from Quennel.
“Cherry, do you have any idea what kind of trouble you could be causing for your parents?”
“And do you have any idea how scared and terrified I was yesterday when your family’s elders were threatening me?”
Faced with Quennel’s guilt-tripping, Cherry shot back without hesitation.
“I swear, if I hadn’t been at the Temple estate yesterday, if Hannah and Samuel hadn’t been there, I have to wonder if your elders were planning to just get rid of me! Coming into my home, bossing me around with such arrogance… what are you, the mob? Is the Rosenberg family a crime syndicate?”
Hearing Cherry’s aggressive accusations, Quennel was at a loss for words.
Seeing that she was completely unreasonable and unwilling to listen, he decided not
to waste any more breath on her.
Continuing to argue with her would only be a waste of time.
He fixed his gaze on Hannah.
“Hannah, you lived in the Rosenberg family for a long time. You know the elders’ methods better than they do, and you know the consequences of doing this. Please, I’m begging you, talk some sense into her.”
Quennel’s tone softened instantly, his eyes pleading with Hannah.
“I have never asked you for anything in my life. I’m just asking you for this one thing. Please.”
Hannah felt a wave of complicated emotions as she watched Quennel humble himself to plead with her.
Honestly, if she hadn’t already
suspected that he had been secretly
pulling strings behind the scenes, his
attitude today would have been
enough to make her give in and have
Cherry delete the video.
