My Deceased Wife Wants a Divorce (Hannah) novel Chapter 196

“Me?” Jason scoffed.

“Who was it that snuck into the kitchen to steal food in the middle of the night?”

“Who stole the other girls’ hair ribbons?”

“Who snatched another child’s lunch?”

“Who ruined the adoption ceremony?”

“Who kept hiding, forcing everyone to call the police?”

“Who put snakes and rats and cockroaches in the other children’s beds?”

“And who, in their desperate attempt to run away, got Rex killed? Who is responsible for Rex being beaten to death?”

Jason’s hands shot out, grabbing her shoulders. His fingers dug into her flesh as if trying to rip her arms from their sockets.

“Hannah, you were a little monster, and you have the gall to be a lawyer? What would your colleagues think if they knew you nearly killed someone? Do you think they’d let you stay in this profession?”

The color drained from Hannah’s face. She shook her head, muttering over and over, “It wasn’t me. It wasn’t me. I didn’t do those things. It wasn’t me.”

“You were a wicked, cruel child from the very beginning. It was my kindness that saw you raised to adulthood, yet you repay me with this betrayal. You used school as an excuse to run away and never looked back. You truly are an ungrateful wretch!”

Jason’s eyes roamed down her body, and his hands began to slide down her arms.

He leaned in close to her ear and whispered, “You’ve been a very bad girl. Tonight, I’m going to have to lock you in the dark room. You’re going to go in there and reflect on…”

“No!”

Sandra nodded. Thanks to him and his friends, her family’s business was slowly recovering, and her mother had stopped pressuring her to go on blind dates.

A genuine smile touched her lips. Even though she hadn't married him, he was still so good to her, still trusted her implicitly.

“Mr. Rosenberg,” Jason said, walking over with a dramatic sigh. “Ms. Green just ran off. I have no idea what happened. I’m so busy here, I couldn’t go after her.”

“She left?” Lionel asked, his brow furrowing.

“Yes, just now.”

Lionel started to get up, but Sandra quickly grabbed his arm.

“Lionel, the anniversary ceremony is about to begin. The children have been looking forward to seeing you. If you leave now, it will ruin everything. I’ll go look for Hannah.”
