Carol was flabbergasted that Hannah would dare to speak to her like this in front of everyone.
She looked around desperately for support, but no one was willing to come to her defense.
After all, everyone there knew how cruelly Carol had humiliated Hannah in the past. They all remembered it clearly.
Besides, that wasn't why they had summoned Hannah here today.
“Hannah, I’ll ask you this: were you responsible for what happened at the Woods’ home today?” Mrs. Mary Rosenberg gestured for Carol to be quiet, taking charge of the situation.
Hannah nodded.
“Yes, I sent them. Since Lionel and I are getting a divorce, I was simply reclaiming marital property that he gave to his mistress during our marriage. It’s perfectly legal.”
Mrs. Mary Rosenberg’s temper flared. “A fine ‘legal reclamation.’ Do you have any idea how much shame you've brought upon the Rosenberg family today? You are a Rosenberg! Do you even think before you act?”
“The one who did wrong is your son!” Hannah shot back, completely unintimidated. “Is it not shameful for him to cheat on his wife? Or is adultery considered normal in the Rosenberg family? Perhaps all your men cheat, and you all condone it, which is why you're taking issue with me?”
“What did you say?!”
“Hannah, how dare you speak like that!”
“Divorce her! What is this insolence? Daring to talk back to an elder!”
