My Deceased Wife Wants a Divorce (Hannah) novel Chapter 691

Every word Quennel spoke was like a needle, piercing deep into his heart.

Though his words were harsh, Lionel had to admit they were also true.

Yesterday, he'd been worried about who called the police, annoyed that Cherry had provoked Sandra and made him a trending topic, and tormented by Mrs. Edith Woods' threat to go to his mother if he didn't pay up.

He hadn't considered any of the things Quennel mentioned today. The Rosenberg family had let him be, despite all the trouble he'd caused before, because of his exceptional abilities.

But he never imagined things would escalate this far, drag on for so long, and entangle so many people, now even on the verge of pulling in the Temple family.

The Rosenbergs would undoubtedly abandon him for their own preservation and stability. After all, no matter how talented someone was, if they threatened the family's foundation, they would be cast aside.

Over the years, he'd certainly made enemies in the business world. Just as Quennel said, they had only held back because of the Rosenberg name. The moment he was kicked out of the family, they would surely come for revenge.

At that point, he could forget about making a comeback; he'd be lucky to stay alive.

And if he was dead, what did a career matter?

He probably wouldn't even have time to discuss a divorce with Hannah; he'd be too busy living on the run.

The thought sent a surge of fury through him, rising from the pit of his stomach. He coughed violently, feeling as if he were about to spit out his own organs.

He instinctively reached for a thermos, only to find the bedside table empty.

Before, whenever he came home, Hannah would always place a thermos on the nightstand so he could wake up and have a warm drink.
