And when he refused to pay, Sandra''s parents would raise hell. With both sides at each other''s throats, all she''d have to do was turn on her phone, start a livestream, and watch the viewse flooding in.


    All that fame and online traffic Sandra craved would fall right into herp. It was a perfect n to make their already wealthy family even wealthier.


    After Cherry finished, Hannah and Samuel stared at her for a couple of seconds before breaking into apuse.


    “Working with you is the best deal I''ve ever made. You''ve helped me so much. Don''t worry, the business resources I give your parents will be far better than anything Lionel can offer. It''s just a shame we didn''t meet sooner. If I had known you a few months ago, I wouldn''t have been bullied so badly by Sandra Woods."


    If she had met Cherry earlier, things might never have escted to this point.


    But it was what it was. Betterte than never.


    "Don''t worry, Hannah. I''ll always be on your side. We''re in this together. I''m not stupid enough to betray you, so feel free to use me however you want."


    Cherry admitted to herself that she had been a little worried before.


    She had been so awful to Hannah when she first returned home, and she feared Hannah might hold a grudge.


    But after getting to know her, she realized Hannah wasn''t the type to hold onto resentment.


    Understanding this, Cherry was able to fullymit to their alliance. She knew perfectly well whether it was better to be Hannah''s partner or her enemy.


    Like Samuel, Cherry was a person of action.


    The very next day, she went to the hospital with arge fruit basket to visit Sandra.


    Sandra initially thought it was the caregiver, so she was stunned for a moment when she saw it was Cherry.


    She asked, bewildered, "Are you in the wrong room?"


    "Nope, I''m here to see you. You''re Sandra, right? I''m Hannah''s sister Cherry I''m sure you''ve heard of me. I heard about what happened to you, so came to visit. But why are you all alone? Where are your parents?"


    Cherry set the basket down and looked around the empty room. Not only were her parents absent, but there wasn''t even a caregiver in sight.


    "I saw the news. Your mom was crying her eyes out when she found you. It''s not even mealtime, so why aren''t your parents here?"


    She put on a naive expression. "Don''t tell me they''re already off negotiating with Lionel? Why the


    rush? No matter how urgent it ion et


    they should at least arrange for


    someone to look after you. What if Some bad persones to bother you while you''re alone?"


    Sandra hadn''t had much contact with the Temple family, so she had no idea what Cherry''s intentions were.


    She watched her with intense suspicion and asked tentatively, “Ms. Temple, I doubt you''re here just to visit me. Is there something you want?"


    "Now, why would you say that? I''m just here out of kindness. I also wanted to ask, after Lionel treated you so horribly, do you really not hate him at all?"


    "I mean, after what


    what he did to my


    sister Hannah, she despises him.


    She''s been trying to find ways to get


    revenge but ultimately she''s


    soft-hearted. All this time has


    passed, and she hasn''t made a single real move."
