My Deceased Wife Wants a Divorce (Hannah) novel Chapter 558

Quennel's words made Lionel pause.

He hadn't been entirely blind to that potential outcome.

The idea that this incident alone would completely change Hannah's opinion of him and lead to a reconciliation was absurd, practically impossible.

But his insistence was driven by a desire to prove to Hannah that he hadn't done such a thing, that he wasn't the monster she saw him as.

At the same time, he wanted to show her that Quennel wasn't as perfect as she thought.

His goal was that simple.

"I don't think you need to say anything more to Hannah. She clearly doesn't care. If she did, she would have sat down and listened to you properly."

Mary rolled her eyes in exasperation. "All this drama, and it's the Rosenberg family's name that gets dragged through the mud. One person's mess, and the entire family has to share the shame!"

She couldn't forget how her friends had been talking about her these past few days.

When Lionel first married Hannah, she had tried to keep it quiet. But once the other ladies found out, they pestered her with questions. When she didn't answer, they assumed the rumors were true and launched their own investigations into Hannah.

When they learned she was an orphan who grew up in an ordinary orphanage, they treated her with scorn and ridicule.

They mocked her for having lost a son, only for him to grow up in such a poor environment. They said it would have been better to quietly acknowledge him rather than throw a grand family reunion banquet.
