"But when I told you the letter had your name on it, you couldn''t believe it. That''s why you asked me to steal it. And now that I have, you''re using me of tampering with it."
"Tell me, did you read the contents before? Otherwise, why are you so fixated on it being Quennel''s name?"
At first, he had dismissed Cherry''s words, but as her analysis continued, a sense of panic began to grip him.
It felt as if she had seen everything he had done. How else could she describe it all so convincingly?
But no matter what, the key point was the letter''s contents. He was one hundred percent certain it had been Quennel''s name.
He just couldn''t understand why it had suddenly changed to his. That was what made him so suspicious!
But he couldn''t juste out and say that he had seen Quennel''s name and now it was suddenly his, could he?
If he did, it would prove he had read the letter beforehand.
Wouldn''t that confirm he was the one who sent it, that he had ulterior motives?
No matter what, he absolutely could not let that truth slip out.
"Not talking? Did I hit the nail on the head? It looks like you really did misread your own name and excitedly sent the letter to Hannah, only to find out it was your name on it all along."
Seeing that he still refused to tell the truth, Cherry decided there was no point in wasting any more breath on him.
She stood up and looked down at Lionel, who remained seated.
Her eyes were full of amusement as she turned to leave with a smirk.
Seeing that she was about to leave, he shot up from his seat.

"Cherry, tell me the truth. Are you really not lying to me? Is this the exact same letter Hannah received yesterday? Not a different one? Are you sure Hannah didn''t alter it?"
Cherry didn''t answer right away. Instead, she pulled her phone from her pocket and found Hannah''s number.
"Should I give Hannah a call right now and ask her? See if this has been tampered with? She hasn''t blocked my number. Pretty great, huh!"
When Lionel saw her holding the phone, he panicked and lunged forward to grab it.
He knew this lunatic was crazy enough to actually do it.
He took a deep breath. "I don''t know what kind of nonsense you were just spouting. The point is, I only saw this letter today It''s not like you said. If you''re leaving, then just go. Don''t bother me. I have things to deal with and no time to waste on you."
Seeing him so flustered and angry, Cherry just chuckled.
"Alright, then, Go handle your business. I''m going home to watch the show, see if Hannah ns on making a move against you. If she does, you can give me more resources, and I''ll tell you what''s happening. How about that?"
The sight of Cherry''s insatiable greed made Lionel so angry he couldn''t speak, his brow just tightened.
Cherry just smiled without a word and turned to leave the hospital room.
