My Deceased Wife Wants a Divorce (Hannah) novel Chapter 106

Her disappointment in Lionel hadn’t come all at once; it had been built, piece by painful piece, over countless incidents.

Hannah stared into the distance. “If you can’t clear this up by the end of the day, I’m going public with our marriage tomorrow. I’m done sacrificing myself for you, Lionel.”

Without waiting for a response, she hung up. She stood on the balcony for a few moments, composing herself, then walked back into the office as if nothing had happened. Her colleagues, who had been whispering among themselves, quickly fell silent and pretended to be busy. Hannah noticed but said nothing, returning to her desk.

Lionel stared at the dark screen of his phone, a sharp pain lancing through his chest as if a piece of his heart had been carved out.

“Mr. Rosenberg, we still can’t get it down!” Owen rushed in. “Every time we suppress it, they push it right back up. We can’t trace who’s behind it, but they’re spending a fortune.”

Lionel’s jaw tightened as he looked at the three related stories trending at the top of the news feed.

“Reporters are calling nonstop, asking about you and Ms. Woods. They’ve even dug up the story about you giving the Woods family that project,” Owen reported. “Worse, the Rosenberg Group’s stock has been dropping all morning. Headquarters is demanding we handle this immediately.”

Lionel’s gaze was heavy, his finger tapping a slow rhythm on the desk. After a long moment, he said, “Schedule a press conference for three o’clock this afternoon.”

“What?” Owen stared, shocked. That was less than five hours away.

“Just do it.”
