Mary turned, walked back, and slapped him across the face.
“Moved past it? What woman would willingly let her marriage be used as a toy to placate a mistress and just 'move past it'? She hasn't moved on! She's given up on you! She doesn't want to talk to you anymore, so she doesn't care what you do. She just doesn't care!”
She was completely infuriated by Lionel's words. In her eyes, he had always been smart, but when it came to Hannah, he was hopelessly clueless.
“Lionel, if you jumped off a building right now to beg her to take you back, she'd wish you'd just jump and get it over with. The problem isn't that you don't understand women, Lionel. You just don't understand Hannah!”
“If this were happening with Sandra, you wouldn't be thinking this way. You'd agree to anything Sandra said. But with Hannah? You've never once reflected on your actions. You just think she's being unreasonable!”
Faced with his mother's tirade, Lionel was speechless, unable to reply.
Just as Mary was about to leave, she remembered something and turned back.
“I think the reason you treat Hannah this way is because she worked her way through school to support you. You took it for granted. But Sandra was different.”
“Back then, she was a Woods. There was a huge gap between your families. You felt that you had to be grateful for everything Sandra gave you, that you owed her. So you've just been coasting on Hannah's quiet devotion, feeling like she owes you.”
After saying this, Mary had him thrown out and gave orders that he was not to set foot in the house again.
While they were arguing, neither of them knew that Quennel was listening nearby. He recorded the entire conversation and sent it to Hannah.
At work, Hannah listened to the recording and fell silent.
