If Hannah had done it, it meant she had deliberately planned this, choosing to add to his troubles when she knew he was already facing so much.
Lionel had never imagined Hannah could be so calculating, her methods so ruthless. She clearly didn't care about him anymore to do something like this.
But there was no time to dwell on that now. He had to deal with the urgent matters at hand.
“Lionel, look at what your wife has done! We don't have time to deal with you anymore. Instead of arguing with us, you should be at home gathering materials. Otherwise, when you face Hannah in court, you'll argue yourselves into a corner, and then your wife will really be gone. What will you do then?”
Mr. Edward Rosenberg reminded him, “As for the leak, don't waste time debating who did it. Even if it was Quennel, so what? Do you expect us to issue another statement?”
“Another statement? Where would that leave the Rosenberg family's reputation? Pack your things, go home, and prepare your evidence. Stop adding to our troubles. You can't even get your priorities straight. I don't know what you've been learning all these years.”
They truly didn't understand how a man who was a titan in the business world, feared by all his rivals, could be so foolish when it came to matters of the heart.
If he had applied even a fraction of his business acumen to his relationship with Hannah, none of this would have happened. But in matters of love, the man was stubbornly, terrifyingly dense.
Listening to the elders, Lionel suddenly felt they were right.
After all, his obsession with whether Quennel was behind this was irrelevant now.
He was about to face Hannah in a divorce proceeding. Failing to handle that would be the real disaster.
