He had thought Lionel might have had a change of heart, trying to win Hannah back.


    Deep down, Lionel probably still didn''t value Hannah that much.


    A smile spread across Quennel''s face at the thought.


    That was perfect.


    And Hannah was clearly disgusted by Lionel''s stupid move. If he kept this up...it wouldn''t be long before Hannah waspletely fed up with him. They would probably get into another huge fight.


    Maybe after a fight like that, Lionel would finally sign the divorce papers.


    The thought filled Quennel with glee. He couldn''t wait for Lionel to do something else foolish to provoke Hannah.


    "Send this recording to Lionel."


    "Yes, sir!"


    In the hotel room.


    Lionel was just about to go to sleep when an anonymous email appeared in his inbox.


    He opened it and found a voice recording. As he downloaded and yed it, his face darkened.


    All sleepiness vanished. Lionel shot up and immediately started tracing the sender''s ID address.


    But the ID was bouncing all over the ce, from overseas to back home, making it impossible to pin down. Still, it was obvious that bastard Quennel had sent it.


    So, Sandra really was in Quennel''s hands!


    That son of a bitch. He''d kidnapped her and was now trying to threaten him.


    If he wanted to y rough, then he shouldn''t me Lionel for what came next.


    The next morning, Hannah and Samuel went to the office as usual.


    The project would be finished in two days.


    Yves had promised them a


    two-week vacation afterward.


    had already


    Hannah and Samton foca while


    nned to stay in


    before heading back.


    "Ms. Green, there''s a letter for you."


    The receptionist called out as soon as she saw Hannah and Samuel walk in.


    "Who''s it from?" Hannah took the letter. There was no name on it.


    "A courier delivered it. I asked who the sender was, and he said it was a man, but couldn''t give me specifics The courier also said you''d know who it was from once you read the contents."


    "Okay, thank you."


    They took the elevator up. It was just the two of them inside.


    "Hannah, do you know who sent it?"


    "Besides Lionel, I can''t think of anyone else who would send me a letter."


    Hannah didn''t rush to open it, her expression unreadable as she stared ahead.


    "He knows I''ve blocked him and that calling is useless. And after yesterday''s mess he knows better than to show his face at the office. So he sends a letter by courier. This man is certainly resourceful."


    Samuel''s face twisted in disgust.


    "He''s like gum on a shoe, sticking to you no matter what. It''s disgusting."


    Samuel truly didn''t understand. After everything that had happened, what was the point of all this?


    Did he really think that by pestering her relentlessly, Hannah would fall back in love with him? That she''d be moved by these gestures?


    The logic of some fools was truly beyondprehension.


    When they reached their desks, Hannah dealt with a few things before taking the letter from her bag.


    She called Samuel over, and they went to the break room to open it together.
