My Deceased Wife Wants a Divorce (Hannah) novel Chapter 156

Seeing Yves so furious on her behalf, Hannah couldn't help but smile.

"The victim isn't even this angry. What are you so worked up about?" she said, pulling out a chair and sitting across from him. "Besides Sandra, I can't think of anyone else who would do something like this."

Yves opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. He looked at Hannah's nonchalant expression, baffled that she could smile after being slandered in such a vile way. Her smile must be a mask, he thought, a defense built up after enduring so much pain that she had become numb to it.

Seeing the worry in his eyes, Hannah's smile softened.

"Mr. Lancaster, you don't have to feel sorry for me. This isn't the first time something like this has happened. Once I'm divorced, these ridiculous dramas will stop."

She pulled out her phone, played the video, and pointed to the woman's body. "She has moles on her neck, collarbone, and arm. And given the camera work, this doesn't look like some amateur production. It's probably from one of the Kiron studios."

They were both adults, and they were here to solve a problem. There was no need to be shy about discussing the details.

"It could be one of the girls from Kiron. I'll have someone trace the source of the video," Yves said.

Hannah would be lying if she said she wasn't touched. The video had only been up for half an hour, and Yves had already called her in, offering his help. It was a stark contrast to a certain someone.

"I've already told the staff that there will be no discussion of this matter. If you're not feeling up to it, you can take the day off—"

"I'm fine," Hannah said, her eyes full of gratitude. "It'll take more than this to bring me down. I have a lot of work to do today, so I'll get back to it."

Yves sighed. He knew he couldn't convince her, so he didn't press the issue. He just immediately instructed his team to find out who the woman in the video was and to trace the IP address of the account that posted it.

The others gave him a silent thumbs-up.

"Please thank your friend for me. Whether he figures it out or not, dinner's on me."

There were still good people in the world, she thought. Once she was free of Lionel and Sandra, she realized the world outside their toxic bubble was actually a pretty great place.

Meanwhile, Sandra had just finished another disastrous blind date and was feeling nauseous. She took out her phone to check the trending topics.
