“Are you insane? Everyone knows about your sordid affair with her. Now that it''s all out in the open, you could have just paid her off and sent her away. Why would you do something like this?"


    "Men having mistresses is nothing new. Couldn''t you have just handled the breakup peacefully? You haven''t even settled things with Hannah, and now you''ve dragged Sandra into this mess again. Are you trying to drag the Rosenberg family down with you? Is that what you want?"


    In truth, she had known about the imprisonment since the day he brought the woman here.


    But things had escted to this point, and if she didn''t pretend she was just finding out, she could be charged as an aplice.


    She couldn''t afford to get dragged down with him. That said, Mrs. Mary Rosenberg was also intensely curious about who had reported Lionel.


    Lionel didn''t answer his mother. His eyes were fixed on Quennel, who was sitting on the sofa.


    Amidst the chaos, Quennel lookedpletely unfazed, leisurely sipping his tea as if he were a mere bystander with no connection to the events unfolding.


    Ignoring the police officers in the room, Lionel stormed over to Quennel, grabbed him by the cor, and hauled him up from the sofa.


    "Quennel, was it you who called the police? Are you crazy? Even if you hate me, you can''t do something like this!"


    "You know how much Mother cares about the family name! Because of your call, everyone knows what the Rosenbergs have done! Do you have any idea how many reporters are outside? Once this gets out, the family will be ruined, all because of you!"


    Quennel calmly pulled Lionel''s hand away and straightened his disheveled cor before slowly sitting back down.


    He let out a long sigh before


    speaking. "Lionel, you''re the one who


    kidnapped her. You''re the one who osenberg.


    brought shape to the


    name. Don''t try to pin this on me. If you hadn''t illegally imprisoned someone, no one would have had anything to report, would they?"


    He took a sip of his tea before continuing. "And for the record, 10 didn''t call the police. If you insist on ndering me, I''ll have to file a report of my own for defamation. You have no proof."


    "All you do is throw tantrums and make baseless usations. I''m starting to wonder


    if you''re ill. Perhaps we should have you admitted to a hospital for treatment!"


    In fact, the moment he heard about the police call, the first person who came to Quennel''s mind was Hannah.


    The only people who would do something like this were himself and Hannah. And since it wasn''t him, the only remaining suspect was Hannah.


    It was a bit surprising that she would take such a drastic step, but it was also entirely within her character.


    After all the terrible things Lionel had done, there was no way she would let him off without proper punishment.


    Besides, just earlier at his house,


    Hannah had learned about the letter


    he''d sent her, a letter intended to


    manipte her into doing


    something terrible. She was certainly holding a grudge and would


    never let him get away with it.


    What Quennel hadn''t anticipated was how ruthless Hannah could be. After this,


    even if Lionel paid a hefty settlement, he would likely still face jail time.
