Looking at the caller ID on the screen, Quennel pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration.


    Hannah.


    He had just left, and she was already calling him. No matter how he thought about it, the timing felt strange.


    Could it be that there was something she couldn''t say in front of Cherry and was calling to tell him now?


    After a moment of hesitation, Quennel answered the call.


    "Hannah."


    "Brother, I know Cherry was a bit rash just now, but she was just scared by your family''s elders. I hope you won''t hold it against her when you get back."


    Hannah joined Cherry on the second-floor balcony. Watching Quennel''s car drive away, she suppressed augh and continued into the phone.


    "The Temple family is taking this very seriously. If anything happens to Cherry or her parents, everyone will immediately assume you were behind it. I''d hate for you to be med for something someone else does."


    Hannah had no intention of publicizing Quennel''s visit today.


    After all, he had taken good care of her over the past three years, and she couldn''t


    bring herself to bepletely ruthless. This was the least she could do.


    Quennel fell silent, thinking. He had been so lost in his anger that he hadn''t considered the situation clearly.


    But now that Hannah had pointed it out, he suddenly understood.


    If Cherry really did publicize his visit, and Lionel found out, he would probably use it


    as an excuse to retaliate against Cherry and then pin the me on him!


    If that happened, he would have to waste time proving his innocence.


    Although all of Lionel''s electronic devices had been confiscated, he still had to be cautious.


    And he had to admit, as he was leaving, he really had been nning to get back at Cherry and her family.


    But now... it was probably best to let it go.


    It was better to avoid unnecessary trouble.


    If he identally stirred up more problems for himself, it would be a massive headache.


    Quennel took a deep breath,


    massaging his temples. "Alright, I''ll


    listen to you, brother. Could you please try to talk some sense into Cherry? This constant posting of family business online isn''t good for either of us."


    "Hannah, you may not be in the business world, but you know how


    many eyes are on us. If our two families tear each other apart like this, even the winner loses. Well just be making things easy for our rivals."


    Quennel earnestly analyzed the pros and cons for Hannah.


    He had noticed rivals circlingtely, practically drooling at the prospect of the


    Rosenberg and Temple families going to war so they could swoop in and pick up the pieces.


    Some had even begun extending olive branches to Lionel after hearing he might be kicked out of the family.


    Of course, Lionel himself was still in the dark. Quennel had intercepted all of it and reported it to the elders.


    The elders were now scrambling to deal with both the person who leaked the information to Cherry and these opportunistic rivals.


    These people were fearless. To make moves on Lionel before he was even officially


    out—it was a tant show of disrespect to the Rosenberg family!


    "Don''t worry, brother. I''ll keep trying to persuade her. Just a moment ago, she was about to post the security footage from your visit talked her down, but she''s still on


    the fence content belongs to


    I''ll go talk to her some


    more now.


    “Okay. Thank you."
