My Deceased Wife Wants a Divorce (Hannah) novel Chapter 695

“His attitude has been awful for a while now. Cherry has called him out on it several times, but he refuses to change. He acts this way because he thinks she can’t survive without his resources, which is why he feels entitled to be so reckless again and again.”

“But things are different now. Cherry drew a line in the sand and hung up on him. Now he’s calling back and she’s not answering. Lionel must be panicking. The truth is, Cherry has always held the power in this relationship; Lionel just never understood his place from the start.”

Lionel was just too arrogant—so arrogant that even with his back against the wall, he was still ordering people around in that vile tone of his.

Right now, if he didn't negotiate the compensation with her, the Woods family would surely come after him once the police issued a formal notice.

If she were to make a scene then, Lionel would have far too much to deal with.

So, this brief window before the official notice was his only chance to negotiate with her.

If he missed this opportunity, he would face a mountain of trouble.

That meant the only person who could help him, the only person he could leverage, was Cherry.

And yet, he still dared to treat her like this. It only proved that Lionel was, and always had been, a fool.

Just as Samuel was about to say more, the phone rang again.

Cherry glanced down at it but didn't answer right away. After letting it ring for a moment, she finally picked up.

“Mr. Rosenberg, why do you keep calling?” Cherry asked, feigning confusion. “Our partnership is over. Your constant calls are seriously disrupting my life, you know?”

“Cherry, you…”

Lionel was about to lash out, to demand what gave her the right to end their partnership unilaterally, but he swallowed the words before they escaped.

Now was not the time for that kind of talk.

Cherry had already hung up on him once. If he kept pushing, she would undoubtedly block his number.
