My Deceased Wife Wants a Divorce (Hannah) novel Chapter 638

Lionel started to explain, but Cherry cut him off.

"For all I know, you set this whole thing up. A classic hero-rescues-the-damsel ploy, except you were really just testing me, waiting to see if I'd actually cooperate and come tattle to you."

"Your goal wasn't to save Hannah at all. It was to see if I'd become your loyal spy. Once I told you, you planned to go in her place, let them rough you up, and make Hannah feel so sorry for you. Make her think you're so great, so noble."

Cherry's words tumbled out in a rush.

For a moment, Lionel's long-winded explanation had almost made sense, and she'd found herself at a loss for a rebuttal.

Thankfully, she was quick on her feet and had pieced it all together. Otherwise, he might have completely led her in circles.

"You're talking nonsense! How could I do something like that? The letter clearly says Quennel's name, not mine! Go back and look again!" Lionel exclaimed, his voice shaking with agitation.

If he hadn't opened that letter and seen Quennel's name with his own eyes, he might have actually fallen for her act.

But it was definitely Quennel's name. Why was Cherry insisting it was his? Was she lying to him, or had she misread it?

Or perhaps Cherry had switched sides and was working for Hannah now. If that was the case, giving them the letter had been a massive mistake he never should have made.

"I'm not blind. The letter was right there. I walked over and read it carefully, every single word. It was your name."
