My Deceased Wife Wants a Divorce (Hannah) novel Chapter 146

Cora looked at Lily, bewildered, unsure of what Hannah was trying to do.

Lily hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sweetie, just tell the truth. Don't be afraid. Mrs. Rosenberg will make sure justice is served."

Cora nodded. "This morning, after the young mistress came downstairs, she walked right up to me. I was drinking my milk, and she just snatched it out of my hand, threw it at me, and told me to go to the butler, collect my pay, and leave."

She let out a sob, squeezing out a few more tears. "I know I'm not a professional maid, but I've been trying so hard to learn from the others. I just don't know what I did to offend her so much that she would humiliate me like that."

Upon hearing her daughter's story, Lily let out a loud wail and threw herself on the floor at Hannah's feet.

"Oh, madam, whatever my daughter did wrong, it's my fault as a mother! It's all my fault for not teaching her better. If you have a problem, take it out on me! Why do you have to hurt my daughter like this?"

"Mom…"

Cora rushed over and tried to pull her mother up.

Lily resisted, crying, "Madam, I know you've always held a grudge against me, but you can't take your anger out on—"

"Did I walk downstairs, snatch your milk, and throw it on you without a single word being exchanged between us?" Hannah cut in, her voice calm as she stared them down.

"I…"

Cora froze, at a loss for words. If she told them what was really said, their whole plan to frame Hannah would fall apart.

She bit her lip, hesitating for a long moment before her voice broke into a wounded sob. "I was so shocked when the hot milk hit me… I don't remember anything after that."
