But she also knew that everything Hannah was doing was for herself for the girl who had suffered so much for so long.


    So, if Hannah needed help, she, as her grandmother, would provide it.


    In fact, when Hannah had posted about the divorce and the affair, she had secretly ordered the Temple family''s team to manipte the algorithms and keep the posts trending.


    "I thought she would be working at the familypany once she returned. I didn''t realize she was still working elsewhere. Could you contact her and ask her toe home? Tell her that I''m here to see her."


    Mary had tried calling Hannah on her way over, only to discover she had been blocked. It was something she never would have expected.


    If she hadn''t been blocked, she wouldn''t have shown up at the Temple estate unannounced.


    Mrs. Temple Sr. listened and shook her head. "You run apany; my granddaughter does not. She works for someone else. If you have something to say, wait until she gets off work. Showing up like this and demanding she take leave will get her pay docked."


    Mary thought she had misheard. The powerful Temple family was worried about a docked paycheck?


    "Just have Hannahe back. I''llpensate her three times what she loses in pay. Tell her I''m here to see her about something important!"


    Mrs. Temple Sr. chuckled at that.


    "What important matter could you possibly have with her? It''s surely about your son. You want my granddaughter to stop posting things online that tarnish his reputation. But isn''t he the one who ruined his own reputation? If he hadn''t behaved that way, would there be so much to expose?"


    "Instead of wasting your time chatting with me, you should go home and have a good talk with your son. Re-examine your parenting. How did you manage to raise a son like that?"


    "Oh, and by the way, your son, like my granddaughter, grew up as an orphan. But look at my


    granddaughter. Despite growing up without parents to guide her, ske turned out to be a graceful decent woman who is faithful in her marriage and wouldn''t stoop to such filthy acts as affairs and keeping mistresses. I suppose it must be in the genes."


    With those words, Mrs. Temple Sr. had not only insulted Lionel but also Mary herself.


    Mary trembled with anger, about to retort.


    But Mrs. Temple Sr. continued, "If there''s nothing else, then there''s nothing more to say. Please see yourself out. Next time you wish to see my granddaughter, contact our butler in advance. If she is here and willing to see you, you maye. If not, you''ll have to make another appointment. After all, she is a Temple, and she has the right to refuse to see people she doesn''t wish to see."


    "She may be your Temple granddaughter, but she is also my Rosenberg daughter-


    inw! What''s wrong with me wanting to see her!"


    Mrs. Temple Sr. stood up with a faint smile. Your daughter-inw, yes, but not for much longer. They''re getting a divorce. You should get your facts straight. You''d better go home and convince your sonto sign those papers quickly, before my granddaughter gets angry and exposes more of his scandals


    online. It would be a shame if your


    family''s stock prices plummeted


    again."


    She stood up and started walking away. "Ah, I''m old and need my rest. Show our


    guest out."


    A servant stepped forward and gestured toward the door.
