Chapter 761
Just as Lionel finished watching the video, he heard Cherry’s words. He froze for a few seconds, then slowly lifted his gaze to her. “Are you saying Quennel came here yesterday?”
“Yeah, he did. Why, didn’t you know?” Cherry raised an eyebrow, a sly glint in her eyes as she took in Lionel’s clueless expression.
She mused aloud, “Quennel came over yesterday, and his attitude was decent enough, I guess. He just kept asking me to delete the content I’d posted. But even if I deleted it now, it wouldn’t matter. All the gossip blogs have already reposted it.”
“Anyway, let’s not talk about that. Quennel’s business has nothing to do with you. Let’s talk about why you’re here.”
Cherry deftly changed the subject.
Samuel’s eyes narrowed, his gaze fixed intently on Lionel. “A moment ago, you seemed to be implying that Hannah told the Elders something, didn’t you? But you’ve seen the videos. Everything that happened is right there.”
“Quennel and the three Elders from the Rosenberg family came, and not once was your name mentioned. Yet here you are, accusing Hannah. Did you hear something somewhere else that made you come here with these suspicions?”
Looking at Lionel, Samuel couldn’t help but suspect that someone had set him up again. The man was truly a fool, believing whatever anyone told him.
To have lived so long and still be played like a fiddle by others was just pathetic.
Lionel remained silent, his expression growing heavier. After a moment of deep thought, he lowered his voice and said, “The you

everything yesterday. But Hannah, what was there for you to confess?”
“I wasn’t the one who sent you those things, so why are you framing me like this? Besides, someone else sent that stuff to Cherry. What does it have to do with you? Why would you lie to the Elders? Even if you hate me this much, you can’t just frame me like this!”
Although the security footage didn’t show what he was describing, there was no guarantee that the videos were complete.
For all he knew, Hannah could have edited the footage to hide something.
After hearing Lionel’s words, Hannah, Samuel, and Cherry were completely stunned. All three of them stared at Lionel in disbelief.
After a few seconds of silence, they exchanged glances, their brows furrowing in unison as they tried to process what Lionel had just said.
Samuel took a deep breath and asked tentatively, “Are you saying that when your family’s Elders returned, they told you that Hannah had confessed everything? And that this supposed confession was her telling them that you were the one who sent all that content to Cherry?”
Though reluctant to admit it, Lionel nodded forcefully.
Hannah, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.
“Which Elder? Bring him here to face me. I’d like to ask him exactly when I ever said
you were the one who sent Cherry that information.”
