"Fucking piece of shit! Goddamn it, he''s still clinging to my car. Fine, don''t let go! I''ll just drag him to death. What''s one life, anyway? I can just throw some money at the Rosenberg family to make it go away. They''d probably even pay me for getting rid of their biggest problem."


    Samuel cursed at the man on the ground, looking like he genuinely wanted to drag him down the street.


    "It''s not worth having a man''s death on your conscience, especially for someone like him. It looks like we''ll have to go the legal route after all. Fortunately, I recorded our conversation yesterday. I''ll find awyer, give them the recording as evidence, and let them handle it."


    Hannah was incredibly grateful in that moment that she was awyer herself and knew how to handle these things.


    Otherwise, having a settled agreement fall apart like this would have been devastating.


    It was still upsetting, of course—awsuit would be a massive headache—but it didn''t matter. As long as she could get the divorce, no amount of trouble was too much.


    While Lionel stood there, stunned, he had no idea that the story of their failed arrangement had already exploded online, bing the topic of everyone''s conversation.


    【So, to avoid touching their marital assets, Lionel proposed a fake divorce to Hannah? How could he evene up with something like that? There''s no such thing as a ''fake'' divorce. Is he insane?】


    When he suggested it, he probably


    never thought Hannah would actually go through with it. In his mind, she''s so in love with him that she''d never leave. But after thinking it over, she made it clear she was serious, and now he''s panicking and


    trying to be her sign some


    pointless agreement!"


    【Fake divorce, real divorce, who cares? Hannah was nning to sue him from the start. She probably only agreed because she thought pretending to go along with his stupid n would be the easier way out.】


    【Exactly. Lawsuits areplicated and messy. But she didn''t expect Lionel to suddenly wise up. If he hadn''t, they would have gotten the divorce decree in thirty days and it would have been final. By the time Lionel realized what happened, it would have been toote.】


    I''m so bitter Why do idiots like him get to have such a good life? When he was an orphan, he had two women throwing themselves at him and then he bes this rich and powerful heir. Why can''t a smart person like me catch a break like that? I''m so jealous. I want to be a dumb, rich kid too.


    Qu


    A fake divorce where Lionel pays thepensation and then they remarry? I''ve only heard of people doing that to scam government benefits or outsiders. Its not like someone else is paying the settlement. The money ising from Lionel either way. What''s the difference? He''s the one paying whether they divorce or not."


    【Right? That''s why he''s an idiot. An idiot I both pity and envy. I wish I could experience a life like that!】


    Hannah scrolled through her phone, watching as people online pieced together Lionel''s scheme and debated it.


    Everyone seemed to agree that only aplete fool woulde up with such a n. It seemed they were all rational people, with Lionel being the sole exception.


    Because no sane person would ever think of something so ridiculous.
