"You''ve clearly never been in love. You have no idea what it is. Love is aboutpromise. It''s basically just being partners. Besides, getting remarried is so much harder these days. Does she really think she can find someone better if she leaves him?"


    "But she''s Ms. Temple. Even if she never marries again, her family''s money alone could support her for years. Why would she need to get married?"


    “I think anyone who''s been that disappointed in a marriage wouldn''t jump back in unless they were out of their mind."


    Thement section had split into two distinct camps. One side argued that Hannah was being too harsh and should forgive Lionel, giving him another chance.


    The other insisted that Hannah should fight him to the end, divorce him, and take half his assets.


    Hannah scrolled through thements while eating at home, feeling that something was off about the discussion today.


    There were actually people defending Lionel. In all the previous times she had been a trending topic, no one had ever taken his side. This strange shift could only mean one thing: he had paid for trolls.


    Samuel looked at the trending topics and sighed. "The man has no shame. Showing up at the airport to meet you, deliberately creating a scene for the paparazzi, and now hiring people to push for a reconciliation online. How can someone be so shameless? You know, sometimes I wish I could live my life with that level of audacity."


    Hannah nodded. "Funny, so do I."


    The two siblings exchanged a look, a shared admiration for Lionel''s utterck of shame. When you truly have no face to save, you fear nothing and care about nothing.


    If she were even a little more


    thin-skinned unable to withstand his


    shameless attacks, afraid of public


    humiliation


    and gossip, she right have actually caved and gone back to him, resigning herself to adife of quiet suffering.


    He would have continued his affairs, and the cycle would repeat until everyst bit of her spirit was crushed.


    Thankfully, while she may have been blinded by love before, she was never a fool. His tactics had absolutely no effect on her now.


    "Hannah, do you think Sandra was really kidnapped by Quennel? If she was, how are you going to talk to him? It just feels... weird," Samuel asked, his curiosity piqued.


    Hannah thought for a moment. "I don''t really care who kidnapped ker. Even if it was Quennel, as long as he doesn''t admit it to my face, it doesn''t matter to me. If he did kidnap her was only to get his own revenge."


    She had considered the possibility, and after thinking it through, she concluded that Sandra''s kidnapping was no loss to her.


    "Quennel has been very good to me,


    ing


    so I don''t want to suspect him. And even if he did do it, so what? He just kidnapped her and is probably torturing her. It doesn''t harm me any tangible way, and it even helps me get revenge. What is there for me toin about? I couldn''t be happier."


    Hearing her put it that way, Samuel instantly understood. It made perfect sense.


    “You''re right, Hannah! In fact, now I''m hoping Quennel did get her. I hope he''s torturing her and beating her to a pulp!”
