Chapter 764
Now that things were clear and the truth was out, it was the same old story.
Someone else says a few words in his ear, and he immediately believes them.
“That’s enough, Lionel. You should leave. You’re not welcome here. The sight of you just irritates me. Tell me, why can’t you just grow a brain?”
Hannah pointed a finger at her head. “You finally learned not to believe a word Sandra says, but you decided someone else’s words were trustworthy, so you believed them and came running to me.”
“Lionel, the truth is you don’t just believe other people. You just don’t believe me. After everything that’s happened recently, you still refuse to trust me. In your heart, I’ll never be worthy of your trust.”
“I’m just the wicked woman who would do anything to ruin your reputation, the one who would frame you without a second thought. I thought I had you figured out long ago, but when you showed up today, I didn’t even see this coming. I was the foolish one!”
Hannah truly felt foolish now, but she was also glad that Cherry had suggested the livestream.
At least now, everyone could see for themselves the face of the man who so readily misunderstood her.
“Please leave, Lionel. I know what you’re going to do next. You’re going to offer all sorts of apologies and beg me to forgive you.”
Samuel pointed toward the door, signaling a nearby maid to come and escort Lionel out.
“Don’t bother with all that meaningless nonsense. It’s always the same empty words ‘I’m sorry,’ ‘I shouldn’t have done that,’ ‘I was wrong.’ They’re pointless. Saying them is the same as saying nothing at all. You should just go.”
Samuel had already figured out what he was going to say.
It was always the same hollow drivel. A few words from his mouth, as if that could erase everything that had just happened.
Life doesn’t work that way. He was dreaming.
“Lionel, I’ve heard your apologies several times before. Don’t bother saying them again. I’m not going to forgive you, so it’s pointless Just get out. If you don’t, I’ll have someone throw you out.”
Hannah watched him with
half-closed eyes. “And I don’t think
you want to be thrown out, only to find a swarm
of reporters wal my gate You’d be all over the
headlines again.”
Hehe, she was bluffing, of course. He was already trending.
Cherry wanted to say something, but since this didn’t involve her, and she was technically on Lionel’s side in their little scheme, it was better to keep her mouth shut.
However, Cherry was already plotting what she would say to Lionel later.
The thought was so thrilling that she couldn’t wait for him to get out so she could handle a few things, call him up, and start a fight.
Lionel wanted to say more, but Hannah was already done with him, walking upstairs with a cold expression.
Samuel shot him a meaningful glance, let out a disdainful snort, and followed Hannah.
Only Cherry and Lionel were left in the living room.
Lionel instinctively looked toward Cherry.
The moment Cherry saw his gaze, she knew what he was about to ask. She took a deep breath and quickly stood up.
“This is between you and Hannah. It has nothing to do with me, so don’t drag me into it. I’m going upstairs too.” She stood up, then added And there are security cameras in this hall. Don’t talk to me. If Hannah misunderstands, I’m finished.”
Lionel understood what Cherry meant.
His hands clenched into frustrated fists. He took a deep breath, let it out slowly, and turned to leave.
