If it had helped, it would undoubtedly be an excellent bargaining chip for her.
That way, she could negotiate for even more.

"Did it not go well? No way. Don't tell me Hannah still has a problem even after you went to apologize?"
Sandra asked first, "You didn't explain it properly, did you? I gave you the idea, but the rest was up to you to handle."
"I explained it clearly to Hannah, and she listened carefully. I said—"
"So you told her, and she listened. What's the problem then? Are you sure you had a proper talk with her and weren't just going through the motions?"
Sandra genuinely didn't believe him.
She pressed on, "Your situation now is completely different from before. You were there to apologize. Do you understand what an apology is? You can't use that condescending tone of yours!"
Because Sandra knew what kind of person he was, she had specifically gone to remind him before he left to see Hannah.
She had told him to apologize sincerely.
He had promised he would, that he'd handle it well and not mess things up. But now, something was clearly off.
"I did apologize to Hannah properly, and I spoke sincerely. The main issue is that Hannah…"
Lionel trailed off, unsure how to continue.
He looked at Sandra, thought for a long time, but ultimately decided not to say more.
