But the letter was with Hannah now. Even if Quennel wanted to see it, he''d have to ask Hannah to bring it over.


    As soon as he asks to see it, I can get Cherry to steal and destroy it. That should


    work.


    "What evidence?"


    “I received a letter from those people today. It says you were the one who put them up to it!"


    The instant those words were spoken, Hannah, Samuel, and Cherry''s eyes went wide.


    [Cherry]: Lmao, the wolf just outed himself! I''m dying, this guy is such a moron!


    [Samuel]: Oh man, I am so tempted to go down there right now and give Lionel the shock of his life.


    [Hannah]: Let''s wait. Let Lionel say a bit more, then we''ll go down. If we go now, he can just shut up.


    Hannah herself was shocked that Lionel would say something like that. This whole situation was getting stranger and stranger.


    She had to listen a little longer, wait and see what else Lionel might reveal.


    "Is that so? Then bring me the letter. I''d like to see for myself what it says."


    Quennel heard him im to have evidence but wasn''t the least bit concerned that it was real. He simply watched him, waiting.


    Lionel swallowed hard, his breathing growing heavier.


    He subconsciously clenched his fists, then slowly unclenched them. After repeating this several times, he still remained silent.


    "What''s the matter? Cat got your tongue? Were you lying to me?" Quennel watched bis silence signed and pinched the bridge of his nose in feigned exasperation.


    “Lionel, Lionel. Why do you insist on doing things like this? You could do anything else, but you just..."


    “Who said I don''t have evidence? I just had it sent to Hannah. She needs to see what kind of person you really are!"


    Lionel cut him off, his eyes narrowing as he red at him through gritted teeth. "Hannah has


    already seen the letter. She knows who''s behind all this!"


    "Really? Well then, I''ll just ask Hannah to bring it over so I can have a look."


    Seeing Quennel''spleteposure, utterly unfazed by his ims, Lionel''s anxiety spiked.


    Woo


    "Quennel, why embarrass yourself further by dragging Hannah into this? Why dont you just be a man, admit it, and go apologize to her?


    He had to stall for more time-enough time for Cherry to get her hands on that letter!


    "We''ll see who''s embarrassing themselves." Quennel took out his phone and called Hannah.


    A familiar ringtone echoed from the upper floor of the duplex.


    The moment it rang, the living room fell into a dead silence once more.


    Lionel''s eyes widened in disbelief as he looked up.


    When her phone rang, Hannah slowly stood up and walked to the railing. As she looked down, her eyes met Lionel''s.


    In that instant, Lionel felt his heart skip a beat.


    “I forgot to mention, Hannah''s been here for a while."
