My Deceased Wife Wants a Divorce (Hannah) novel Chapter 710

He had only meant to tease Lionel, but he never expected Lionel to actually catch on.

He thought to himself that he should have never made that call.

“But then again, even if he didn't realize it then, there's still the thirty-day waiting period for the divorce. No matter how clueless Lionel is, he would have probably figured it out eventually,” Quennel consoled himself.

It wasn't just self-consolation, though. Thirty days was a long time, and anything could happen in the interim.

He might have come to his senses and made Hannah wait a month for nothing, only to back out of the wedding at the last minute. That would have infuriated Hannah and broken her heart all over again.

So, in a way, this was better. Besides, it would get Lionel trending on social media again, showing everyone just how foolish he was.

“During the meeting tonight, make sure you mention the social media fiasco to the elders. I’m afraid they’re so old they don’t keep up with anything.”

Mrs. Mary Rosenberg sighed heavily. “Dragging out a divorce for this long… it's so humiliating. Your father is abroad, and everyone he knows has heard about it. They’ve been deliberately taunting him.”

She recalled the video call with her husband the previous day, the grim look on his face making her own heart ache.

The scandal was so big here that it had reached circles overseas, and people were lining up to mock him.

First, they mocked him for taking years to find a son he’d lost, a son who had then spent over two decades living off two different women. Then they sneered about him marrying a woman with no status, even though she was eventually acknowledged by her own prominent family.
