Chapter 33 Her Parents Were Not Ordinary People
In the afternoon, in the cafe that Suzy and Yvonne had agreed on, Evan was afraid that something would happen to her, so he specially arranged for two bodyguards to follow her.
Suzy ordered a cup of coffee and sat by the window, waiting.
It was now autumn, but the weather in Somo City was still extremely hot in the daytime. Suzy was wearing a simple black T-shirt and denim shorts. Her wavy black hair was tied into a high ponytail, looking simple and refreshing.
After about ten minutes, Yvonne slowly arrived. She was wearing a white casual suit and a coat. Suzy was curious at first sight of her. Wasn’t it hot?
After they took their seats, Yvonne gazed at Suzy apologetically and said slowly, “Suzy, I’m sorry…”
“Fortunately, you’re fine. Otherwise, I would feel guilty for the rest of my life.”
Was she really fine? Suzy answered with a ridiculing smile. She gazed at Yvonne and said indifferently, “You were in the hotel room last night, right?”
Suzy was sure she did not remember the perfume, but Yvonne had worn the pearl-shaped earrings the day before.
However, Yvonne, on the opposite side, was stunned. “Ah?”
Suzy raised her eyes. Her expression was filled with cruelty.
“Sister-in-law, stop pretending. If you feel sorry for me, tell me honestly, were you in the hotel room last night?”
Yvonne lowered her eyes and said tactfully, “I’m not there! Michael asked me to trick you into going to that room, and I’ve been watching you stay on the balcony to breathe fresh air since you entered the room.”
Suzy’s expression froze slightly.
“Suzy, I’m sorry. I had no choice. I never thought of hurting you… but Michael…”
Yvonne’s eyes were slightly red, but she didn’t finish her words. At this time, she choked with sobs and said, “Suzy, I know you have a special relationship with Evan. You’d better live a good life in the future! Don’t return to the Carters family anymore, and don’t think about dealing with them.”
The Carters family was willing to do anything if they went crazy.
“It’s almost time. I should go.”
Suzy narrowed her eyes slightly. At this moment, she could still see the bruise on Yvonne’s wrist.
Suzy’s pupils contracted. She grabbed Yvonne’s wrist and rolled her sleeves up. It was a long scar, with many bruises on the side.
“Who did it?”
Yvonne was obviously a little nervous. Before she could speak, Suzy said firmly, “Is it, Michael?”
Yvonne fell silent.
“Sister-in-law, what kind of life have you been living in the Carters family?”
“Suzy, don’t worry about me. Just take care of yourself.”
After saying that, Yvonne left her seat.
In the next second, Suzy stood up and chased after her.
If Yvonne hadn’t lied to her, what happened yesterday wouldn’t have happened. Suzy hated Yvonne, but at this very moment, she had no choice but to intervene.
She held Yvonne’s wrist tightly at the door and asked, “Why did Michael do that to you?”
Yvonne remained silent.
Suzy continued, “Do you want to live like this for the rest of your life?”
Tears fell from Yvonne’s eyes as soon as she finished speaking. Suzy looked around and said, “Let’s talk in the car.”
When they got into the car, Suzy handed Yvonne a few tissues.
“I’m sorry, Suzy. I had no choice. Michael… he asked me to trick you into staying at a hotel, but I didn’t agree. He beat me up.”
Suzy clenched her fists tightly and continued listening to Yvonne. “I’m used to being beaten, but he threatened me. If I don’t agree, he won’t let me see his daughter for the rest of my life.”
Suzy asked, “Haven’t you thought of divorce?”
Yvonne was full of grievances and resentment, and a weak smile tugged at the corner of her mouth.
“Our relationship has changed since the fall of the Brown family. It was the first time that Michael had touched me. It’s not that I didn’t think about divorce, but… he didn’t agree because divorce would affect his image. I also have a sick mother and my daughter. I don’t dare to make a big deal out of it.”
Today, Yvonne not only had to suffer from Michael’s domestic violence from time to time but she was also reduced to a maid in their villa.
The most hateful thing was that she did not even know which school her daughter was in. They would meet only when Michael was in a good mood on the weekend.
Suzy did not expect Michael to be so despicable. She took a deep breath. These Carters’ family members were despicable!
“Sister-in-law, let me help you!”
Yvonne paused, feeling even more guilty about what had happened yesterday.
“Suzy, don’t get involved. It’s not easy for you to leave the Carters family…”
“I can treat your mother and find your daughter’s school, but there are conditions. You must help me keep an eye on Michael and the Carters family. If you know what they want to do to me, let me know immediately.”
“As for the divorce, it’s up to you.”
Yvonne’s eyes flickered slightly when she heard that. She was always looking forward to leaving Michael. Yvonne clenched her fists and agreed in the end. “I promise you. Thank you, Suzy.”
Suzy glanced at her and asked again, “What do you know about last night?”
Yvonne replied, “Michael wants to cooperate with Aaron, but Aaron asked to sleep with you. Michael only asked me to trick you into staying in a hotel room… What happened last night?”
Suzy didn’t answer her question. She just said lightly, “When Michael asked you, you just told him that you only told me about the hotel room and didn’t confirm whether I had entered or not.”
“Okay.”
After the talk, Yvonne was ready to get out of the car. Before she left, she said, “By the way, Suzy, I accidentally heard that your biological parents might not be ordinary people. Do you want to look for them?”
Suzy paused slightly. “Why would they say that?”
“When the Carters family adopted you in the orphanage, you wore a Peace bracelet on your wrist. More than 20 years ago, this bracelet was sold at an auction for 30 million dollars. This bracelet has always been in the hands of the Carters family. Do you want to find a way to get it back?”
More than 20 years ago, the bracelet was sold for 30 million dollars. So Suzy perhaps was the daughter of a wealthy family.
“No need.”
Suzy shook her head.
Now, her parents and family were not important to her.
She just wanted to solve the problems of the Carters family as soon as possible and live a peaceful life.
Yvonne did not say anything else. After she left, Suzy sat in her seat and fell into deep thought. Before Suzy came here, she thought the person in the room last night was Yvonne. Still, when Suzy heard about Yvonne and Michael, she subconsciously felt that the person in the wardrobe was not Yvonne. Then who could it be?
Suzy again fell into bewilderment and terror because it was like a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment.
At the same time, a woman hurried in at a mobile phone maintenance shop on the street in the city center. She asked anxiously, “Excuse me, do you think my mobile phone can still be maintained?”
The screen and back of the mobile phone had been smashed and couldn’t be turned on normally. The shopkeeper looked at it and frowned. “This is a little troublesome!”
The woman looked nervous and said coldly, “I can pay you as much as you want as long as you fix it for me.”Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
