It was now entirely reasonable to suspect that everything Quennel had done before was purely to frame Lionel.


    After all, everyone knew how capable Lionel was.


    From the moment he returned, he demonstrated his exceptional talent, proving to everyone that he could firmly establish himself within the Rosenberg family.


    It was because of his remarkable abilities that Sandra had chosen him again.


    Everyone knew that Sandra was originally supposed to marry him, but she had refused, worried that his status as an outsider would ultimately be no match for Quennel''s. When she realized she had bet on the wrong horse, she went back to him.


    Lionel''s return was undoubtedly a boon for the Rosenberg family, like a world- renowned jewel that had finally been discovered.


    But for Quennel, it was not a good thing at all. Lionel''s presence posed a significant threat to him.


    However, they were brothers, and everyone was watching them. If Quennel did anything too drastic to Lionel, all eyes would immediately be on him.


    But with Lionel and Hannah going through a messy divorce, if he could pin all the me on her, he could remain perfectly hidden in the background.


    Cherry stared nkly for a few seconds before Samuel''s words finally sank in. Her eyes widened in disbelief. "Are you saying the contents of that letter were true? That those people gave it to Lionel, and when he saw the name, he was afraid of falling into a trap, so he gave it to us, and we deliberately changed the name to frame him?"


    "Exactly. The only question is whether the contents of the letter were real or if it was just another trap."


    Samuel looked at her and continued his analysis. "But I''m more inclined to believe that Quennel really was the mastermind. He deliberately had the kidnappers write a letter and send it to Lionel, hoping to provoke Lionel intoing after him in a rage."


    "That way, he could once again y the victim and make us think Lionel was being unreasonable. But Lionel didn''t act the way he expected."


    "He gave the letter to us, and we


    didn''t act the way Lionel expected


    either. The whole situation went in a


    direction none


    of the three of us


    anticipated, and in the end, it just


    fizzled out."


    In fact, Samuel had analyzed the incident carefully afterward. It was usible that, just as Lionel had imed, Quennel was the one pulling the strings.


    Quennel had coborated with the kidnappers, intending to lure Hannah there so he could swoop in and y the hero.


    But he hadn''t counted on them also contacting Lionel, who showed up and ruined his n.


    But no matter how they analyzed it, the whole affair was missing crucial pieces of evidence.


    Without proof, all their analysis and spection meant nothing.


    The incident was in the past, and there was no point in dwelling on it further. However, one thing was certain: Quennel was definitely involved.


    It was only now that Cherry fully grasped the situation. In the beginning, she had been so focused on tormenting Lionel that she hadn''t thought about the bigger picture.


    She never imagined such a massive conspiracy was hidden beneath the surface, and she had beenpletely oblivious. But finding out now wasn''t toote.


    "In any case, we''ll act as if we know nothing. If anyone asks, we''ll say it''s the first we''re hearing of it and that we''re not interested in their family''s drama."


    As long as they didn''t make a move, Quennel would get antsy. He might even send someone to probe for information.
