Samuel immediately chimed in to support her. "Exactly! A month ago, you had the nerve to ask my sister to sign divorce papers just to placate your mistress. So what's wrong with my sister spoiling me a little now!"
"I just can't stand seeing my sister with a scumbag like you. She loves me, and she wants to indulge me. What are you going to do about it? Just hurry up and sign the damn papers!"
Hannah knew Samuel was on her side, and that he loved stirring the pot, but she hadn't expected him to play along so perfectly!
Listen to him! It was music to her ears.
"Lionel, did you hear that? You need to sign these papers right here, right now!"
Hannah crossed her arms, looking at Lionel with a smug expression.
So, he thought he was the only one who could placate people with flimsy excuses?
His original reason for wanting a divorce was absurd, so what was so wrong with her equally absurd excuse now?
Lionel was finally understanding what it felt like to be hoist by his own petard.
"Hannah, I know you're just angry with me right now..."
"Don't even start," Hannah cut him off sharply. "The moment I signed my name, I told you I wanted a divorce. It's final!"
"You're the one who's been flattering yourself this whole time, thinking I was just throwing a tantrum and would get over it. Lionel, let me tell you, with all sincerity, that I put up with so much in the past because I still loved you. But things are different now. Not only do I not love you, but the very sight of you disgusts me!"
