My Deceased Wife Wants a Divorce (Hannah) novel Chapter 322

Honestly, Hannah didn’t care whether Lionel came or not. But now that Sandra had prepared such a spectacular gift for her, it only seemed right that the guest of honor should be present to enjoy it.

Hannah picked up her phone and called Samuel.

“Tell him I specifically asked you to invite him, but that I’m too busy to call myself. If he still refuses to come after that, then forget it.”

Sitting nearby, Yves had to bite his lip to keep from laughing out loud.

All the pieces were in place. All they needed now was Lionel.

As the minutes ticked by, Hannah, holding the hem of her gown, descended the grand staircase.

Cherry stood off to the side, her eyes fixed on Hannah’s custom-designed dress. A fresh wave of resentment washed over her, and she tugged petulantly at her mother’s arm.

“We’re both their granddaughters, so why does she get to wear such a beautiful dress and I don’t? Grandpa and Grandma are playing favorites! It’s so unfair!”

“You foolish girl, keep your voice down! Do you want everyone to hear you?” her mother, Judy, hissed, gripping her daughter’s arm tightly. “You know your grandparents always favored your Aunt Cheryl, so of course they’re going to favor her daughter now. This isn’t new. I’m warning you, you’d better behave yourself. Don’t give her any reason to go tattling to them.”

She leaned in closer. “If they decide to punish your father for your behavior, you can forget about living in this house. How many of your cousins get to live here? Be smart, suck up to your grandparents, and maybe you’ll get a bigger share of the stocks, property, and jewelry next year!”

Hearing her mother’s words, Cherry yanked her arm away in disgust. She didn’t care about those vulgar things! It was because her parents were so crass and materialistic that her grandparents disliked them in the first place.
