Chapter 810
“If I’m not mistaken, someone will be here in less than ten minutes. When they arrive, you two just sit on the sidelines. Don’t say a word, just listen.”
Hannah hadn’t expected that simply telling Lionel about the situation would provoke such an extreme reaction.
She had thought Lionel would handle the matter discreetly. Who would have guessed?
Still, Lionel making such a big scene was actually a good thing.
It would make the inevitable confrontation with Quennel much less awkward.
Cherry and Samuel exchanged a look, their hearts buzzing with excitement. Every passing second felt like an eternity.
“Oh, by the way, I might say some very strange things in a little while. When you hear them, don’t be alarmed, and don’t think I’ve been possessed or anything, understand?”
Hannah suddenly remembered that she was supposed to be under the influence of Quennel’s hypnotist, so her words and actions couldn’t be the same as usual.
If they heard her speaking that way, they would surely get curious and might make a scene, which would ruin her plan.
Upon hearing this, Cherry’s eyes widened, and she nodded vigorously.
“Hannah, I’ve heard of this Marcus Hale before. He’s a very powerful master hypnotist. Don’t tell me when Quennel met with you, he had that man hypnotize you to alter your memories?”
After Samuel learned that Lionel had arranged a car accident, he had started investigating who the person in the car was that would drive Lionel to do something so foolish.
When he found out it was Marcus Hale, he didn’t think much of it, assuming they had some private conflict.
But after hearing what Hannah had just said, Samuel gradually realized the situation was not as simple as he had thought.
“What?”
Cherry was completely floored by Samuel’s words. She blinked, looking at him in disbelief.
“What did you say? Hannah was hypnotized? Her memories were altered?”
She couldn’t believe what she was hearing. She immediately turned back to Hannah.
She even stood up, walked right up to Hannah, looked her over from left to right, and then circled her completely.
“That’s impossible. Hannah seems perfectly normal. And her tone was normal just now when she was talking to us. She doesn’t look like someone whose memory has been altered at all.”
Samuel remained silent, his lips pressed into a tight line as he watched Hannah, waiting for her answer.
“Samuel is right. The reason Quennel called me over that day was to have this man hypnotize me.”
“!!!” Hearing this confirmation, Cherry was so shocked she stumbled back several steps, her eyes wide with disbelief.
“For… for real?”
She whipped her head around to look at Samuel, suddenly at a loss. She swallowed hard and asked` nervously. Then then doeso
Hannah still remember us?
“It’s likely that only her memories concerning Lionel and Quennel were altered, but
her memories of us were left untouched,” Samuel analyzed.
“That’s right.”
Just as Hannah was about to explain further, a servant came to report that Quennel had arrived and
insisted he had something ver
important to discuss with her.
“Let him in,” Hannah said, looking at her two friends. “Don’t worry, Quennel’s little
scheme didn’t work. Just pretend you don’t know anything.”
