Upon hearing his question, Cherry remained silent for a long moment before finally asking.
"What are you talking about? Hannah went to Quennel's house? So what? What does that have to do with me? You think I told her to go? Can you please be a little clearer?"
"I went to see Quennel today to ask about something, and Hannah was there, hiding. She deliberately showed up only after I was done talking. No one knew I was going to Quennel's, so why did she happen to be there?"
If Cherry hadn't tipped her off, why would Hannah have been there at that exact time? She could have gone earlier or later, but her timing was incredibly suspicious.
"Lionel, are you completely insane and off your meds? Did you escape from a mental hospital? If so, please do us all a favor and check yourself back in, okay?"
As Cherry spoke, she gave Hannah a look of pity. She truly couldn't fathom what went on inside that man's head.
She continued in a patronizing tone, "You just said yourself that nobody knew you were going to see Quennel. So, tell me, how would I have known? Did I plant a bug in your room? Or maybe I installed some kind of mind-reading device in your brain?"
"Or maybe I've been following you ever since I left the hospital? You have to give me an explanation today, or this partnership is over. I refuse to work with a lunatic. It's exhausting and painful, you know?"
He had admitted that his visit was a secret, so how could she possibly have known about it?
