He let out a long sigh, then looked up at Lionel and said, “Lionel, let me ask you something. Were you born without a brain?"


    "You need someone to help you strategize something like this? And you actually struck a deal with her? I have to say, I''ve never seen an idiot quite like you before.”


    "Back when you were chasing Sandra, did you ever ask Hannah for advice? Did you ever ask Hannah to help you figure out how to please your mistress?"


    Samuel couldn''t believe someone could be this stupid.


    On one hand, he had confessed everything, which wasn''t entirely bad. But on the other hand, he was coborating with the mistress?


    Just recently, he was causing a huge scene over Sandra''s kidnapping, getting it all over the news and dragging Quennel into it.


    And now, a dayter, he turns around and says he''s working with her, that she''s his strategist helping him figure out how to win Hannah back.


    Is that something a sane person would do?


    "Lionel, when you were pursuing Sandra, you sent her flowers, jewelry, houses, and all sorts of money. Did you ask anyone for advice on that? You certainly didn''t ask me. So how did you know what to do?”


    "I..."


    Lionel paused, about to instinctively say that those were just normal things people do.


    But just as he was about to speak, he suddenly realized how utterly absurd his actions sounded.


    He was right. He was actually coborating with Sandra, asking her for advice on how to reconcile with Hannah.


    Anyone who heard that would think it was apletely insane thing to do.


    Hannah watched the dawning realization on Lionel''s face as he finally grasped the stupidity of his actions. She said nothing, just observed him quietly.


    After dressing down Lionel, Samuel nonchntly pulled out his phone and, right in front of him, started sending voice messages to his friends.


    "You guys will not believe how ridiculous Hannah''s ex-husband is now. After kidnapping his mistress torturing her, and trying to frame his own brother for it, he''s suddenly turned around and now the two- lovebirds are back together


    "The mistress is his new strategist, can you believe it? Advising him toe and apologize to Hannah for transferring her best friend without permission. My god, how can someone be so shameless?"


    Samuel didn''t just tell his friends. He also sent voice messages to the Temples'' and


    sent individual messages to their grandparents as well.


    In an instant, his phone started buzzing incessantly with replies.


    He frantically replied to the messages, making sure to use voice notes every time.


    Hannah simply let him do it, allowing Samuel to humiliate and mock Lionel right in front of her.


    She sat quietly, observing Lionel''s expression.


    She had expected him to storm off in anger after Samuel''s outrageous disy.


    But to her surprise, he just sat there quietly, saying nothing, just watching them.


    When Samuel was finally done, he put down his phone, looked up, and stared at Lionel for a couple of seconds before speaking.


    "Why are you still here? Do you have


    some kind of masochistic streak? Hannah and I have been tearing you I down, and you''re just sitting there. You don''t actually expect Hannah to praise you for it do you? Like Wow, you''re so amazing you didn''t even run away''?"
