Cherry got halfway up the stairs, then pretended to remember she''d left her phone behind and hurried back down.


    "Whoa... wait, what is this?" Cherry picked up her phone, staring at the screen with a bewildered expression. She blinked. "No, no, what''s going on? I swear I turned off the livestream. Why is it still running? Was my phone hacked or something?"


    【Hahaha, what an adorable idiot.】


    【Seriously, girl, how can you be this dense? What hacker wastes their time breaking into your phone just to keep a livestream going?】


    【It''s obvious you just didn''t turn it off properly, okay? And now you''re ming hackers, just like Lionel mes everyone else!】


    【Thank you, Hannah, for forgetting to turn off the stream! We got to see such a great show, hahaha, thanks!】


    【Honestly, my heart really goes out to Hannah. She grew up as an orphan, thought she''d met her soulmate, loved him for years, then married him only to be ignored for three years. She can''t even get a clean divorce, and even though she''s found her birth family, she''s still being harassed by this idiot. Her life is so hard!】


    【I feel so bad for her too. When Hannah said online that Lionel would use her over a word or two from Sandra, I thought, well, if you''re used, you can just exin. I never imagined Lionel was this unhinged!】


    【Seriously, if Lionel didn''t have a non-violent streak, he''d probably be hitting Hannah while yelling at her. It''s painful to watch. Poor Hannah, it''s just so tragic!】


    【Yeah, I thought ‘used'' meant like, ''I don''t want to hear it, you did it!'' I never imagined it would be like this. This is terrifying.】


    Cherry watched as the livements shifted from calling her a dummy for forgetting to end the stream to discussing Lionel. She bit her lip and said in a panic.


    "I''m logging off, I''m logging off! Oh no, I''m so screwed! When Lionel gets home and finds out I was live, he''s going toe after me! I''m the most innocent person here, and now I feel like my life is over!"


    With a pained expression, Cherry tearfully ended the livestream.


    After it was off, she maintained her distressed facade and walked upstairs.


    As soon as she reached her room, she found Hannah and Samuel waiting for her.


    The two of them burst outughing when they saw her.


    "Wait, don''t get too excited yet. I have to call Lionel now. Shh!"


    Seeing that they were about to speak, Cherry quickly held up a hand to silence them.


    Lionel had just gotten into his car when his phone rang. It was Cherry.


    He hesitated for a few seconds before finally answering.


    "What is it?"


    "Lionel, are you out of your mind? Before you came storming over to Hannah''s to ask about this, couldn''t you have called me first? You just charged in there and asked her directly. You really are the king of idiots!"


    Cherry didn''t hold back, immediately tearing into him.


    her first.


    Lionel was about to retort when it hit him. She was right. He could have just asked


    But... but it was toote for that now. It was pointless.


    "Forget it, that doesn''t matter


    anymore: There''s something moret


    important and... let me think about how to tell you this. Ugh!" >


    “What is it?” Hearing the tone of Cherry''s voice, a sense of dread washed over Lionel.


    "Did Hannah say something about me?"


    "I was about to do a livestream in


    the living room but then you showed
