Mary turned, walked back, and pped him across the face.


    "Moved past it? What woman would willingly let her marriage be used as a toy to cate a mistress and just ''move past it''? She hasn''t moved on! She''s given up on you! She doesn''t want to talk to you anymore, so she doesn''t care what you do. She just doesn''t care!"


    She waspletely infuriated by Lionel''s words. In her eyes, he had always been smart, but when it came to Hannah, he was hopelessly clueless.


    "Lionel, if you jumped off a building right now to beg her to take you back, she''d wish you''d just jump and get it over with. The problem isn''t that you don''t understand women, Lionel. You just don''t understand Hannah!"


    "If this were happening with Sandra, you wouldn''t be thinking this way. You''d agree to anything Sandra said. But with Hannah? You''ve never once reflected on your actions. You just think she''s being unreasonable!"


    Faced with his mother''s tirade, Lionel was speechless, unable to reply.


    Just as Mary was about to leave, she remembered something and turned back.


    "I think the reason you treat Hannah this way is because she worked her way through school to support you. You took it for granted. But Sandra was different."


    "Back then, she was a Woods. There was a huge gap between your families. You felt that you had to be grateful for everything Sandra gave you, that you owed her. So you''ve just been coasting on Hannah''s quiet devotion, feeling like she owes you."


    After saying this, Mary had him thrown out and gave orders that he was not to set foot in the house again.


    While they were arguing, neither of them knew that Quennel was listening nearby. He recorded the entire conversation and sent it to Hannah.


    At work, Hannah listened to the recording and fell silent.


    On one hand, it was as if Mary had suddenly gained some sense, actually taking her side and speaking up for her.


    On the other hand, she couldn''t believe Lionel still hadn''t fully


    realized his mistakes and seem


    think that just stubbornly refusing would make her give up


    "Do you think they could be putting on a show? So that Quennel could record it and send it to you, make you think Mary has changed her


    you''ll feer guilty and stop leaking things about the Rosenberg family."


    mind? Maybe they''re hoping


    Samuel said after thinking it over carefully.


    Hannah listened and, after a few seconds of silence, thought Samuel''s theory made a lot of sense.


    "You might be right. Too bad for them, I''m not the same person I used to be. My morals are long gone."


    They exchanged a look. Without a word, they both knew what to do next.


    Hannah forwarded the recording to Samuel, and he posted it online without a second thought.


    Guilt?


    Impossible. That was absolutely out of the question.


    In short, until she had a signed divorce agreement, nothing they did mattered. Even if he, as they said, threatened to jump off a building it. wouldn''t work.


    As soon as Samuel posted it, it shot to the top of the trending topics.
