My Deceased Wife Wants a Divorce (Hannah) novel Chapter 629

Lionel exploded with rage. “Nonsense!” he seethed. “I was the one who told Quennel to handle it! What does he have to do with anything?”

He couldn't believe Quennel would steal his credit. “That shameless bastard, trying to take all the glory. Did he even tell Hannah I was the one who sent him?”

Hearing Lionel call Quennel shameless, Cherry wanted to retort that he was the most shameless person she knew. All he did was flap his gums, ordering someone else to do the work, and then he had the nerve to claim it as his own accomplishment.

Even without his orders, Quennel would have handled it.

With Quennel's capabilities, he would have found out about the situation on his own. He didn't need Lionel to tell him.

Lionel just happened to say something right before Quennel acted, making it seem like Quennel was following his command.

“Of course Quennel didn't tell Hannah you sent him. And even if he had, so what? Did you expect Hannah to come running over here to thank you for ordering Quennel to handle things?”

Cherry rolled her eyes. “And think about it. You only knew because I told you. All Quennel had to do was a little digging to find out why you were attacked. Once he knew those people were after Hannah, there's no way he would have just stood by.”

She analyzed the situation carefully. “Even if you hadn't said anything, he would have taken care of it. Besides, you ordered him around so arrogantly, which probably just made him more defiant. You two brothers don't get along as it is. When he agreed to help, he was mostly thinking of himself. You knew that, right?”

After she finished, she looked at him thoughtfully. Seeing his frustrated and embarrassed expression, she couldn't help but scoff before continuing.

“I didn't come here just to mock you. I came because we're partners, after a fashion. So when something happens, I have to be the first to let you know.”
