My Deceased Wife Wants a Divorce (Hannah) novel Chapter 148

Seeing Mrs. Mary Rosenberg get up to leave, Lily scrambled after her on her knees and bowed three times.

"Madam, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault for failing to raise my daughter properly. If you want to punish someone, punish me. My daughter is young and foolish, please, I beg you to forgive her."

Mrs. Mary Rosenberg glanced down at her dismissively before walking away without another word.

Now, only Lionel and the mother-daughter pair remained in the hall.

Lily pinned all her hopes on Lionel. She was about to appeal to his sense of loyalty, reminding him of her years of service, but he spoke before she could.

"Have your daughter pack her things and leave. And once your arm is healed, you'll return to my mother's house."

"Mr. Rosenberg?"

His words struck her like a lightning bolt. She collapsed onto the floor, the light draining from her eyes.

Lionel stood up and left, dialing Hannah's number as he walked.

"Mom, what do we do now?" Cora whispered, crouching beside her mother. "Do I really have to go? I don't want to! They're about to get divorced. If I leave now, it'll be such a waste!"

She had been so close, and now it had all come to this. If she left, how would she ever win Lionel over? It was all Hannah's fault. All of it.

"You still have the nerve to talk?" Lily hissed, then remembered the cameras and lowered her voice to a furious whisper. "Didn't I tell you to be patient? Look at you! For now, you'll go back home. I will find a way to get you back in."

Cora started to protest, but a fierce glare from her mother silenced her.

Lionel tried calling Hannah, but she didn't answer. He considered calling again but decided against it. She was angry right now; even if she picked up, they would just end up fighting.

He thought for a moment, then called Owen.

"Buy back all the jewelry Hannah sold."

Owen paused. "Sir?"
