Chapter 760
Seeing Hannah ignore him, her nonchalance tinged with a hint of arrogance and disdain, irked him.
He despised this version of Hannah.
But this was who she was now; the old Hannah was gone.
Realizing Hannah had no intention of engaging with him, Lionel decided to drop it and pressed play on the video.
He had some technical skills himself, so he would be able to tell if a video had been altered.
Besides, he had arrived unannounced. Even if Hannah wanted to prepare for him, she couldn’t possibly have predicted this.
So, the video was most likely authentic.
Lionel watched the footage, paying close attention to any signs of modification.
For over twenty minutes, Lionel said nothing. The audio from the device was playing out loud.
The people in the livestream could also hear everything clearly.
【Do you guys understand what Lionel is saying? I’m kind of lost. It feels like he came here just to pick a fight.】
【Same here, I don’t get it either. The stuff with Hannah and the elders was already posted online, right? Why come here in person? What’s he trying to do?】
【Lionel seems like a total psycho, just showing up to cause trouble for no reason.】
【Seriously, if I were Hannah, I would have kicked him out by now. He has no manners at all. I thought rich people were supposed to be polite.】
Cherry hadn’t said a word the entire time. She kept her head down, seemingly engrossed in her phone, but her mind was entirely on the livestream.
She was debating whether to use a burner account to watch the livestream. With the way things were going the chat must be exploding with comments about Lionel, and the reactions would be priceless.
But a part of her worried. Netizens were incredibly resourceful these days. If she logged in with a burner account and someone figured out it was hers…
Her whole act of “accidentally” leaving the stream on would be exposed.
It was so tempting. She desperately wanted to know what people were saying.
[Samuel]: Stop playing on your phone. I just saw people in the stream talking about it. If you keep playing, they’ll think it’s suspicious.
[Samuel]: They’ll say, how can you all be on your phones and not know you’re trending?
[Cherry]: If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have totally forgotten. I’m putting my phone down now.
After sending the message, Cherry immediately put her phone down, pretending she had lost interest in it and casually tossing it aside.
Thank goodness Samuel had messaged her. Otherwise, she would have kept playing.
Then, just as he said, it would look completely fake to be glued to her phone and somehow miss that her own livestream was a top trending topic.
After seeing Cherry put her phone down, Samuel immediately did the same.
After all, if you’re going to put on an act, you have to see it through and not leave any loose ends.
“Lionel, are you done watching or not?” Cherry said, annoyed. She crossed her arms and rolled her eyes in disgust.
“What is your purpose for coming here? What is it you really want to say?” Cherry leaned back against the sofa and sneered at him. “Don’t tell me you’re planning to pull a Quennel and demand that we delete the video?”
