The Wrong Woman

Chapter 225

At that moment, Nathan poured all of his long-suppressed desires into the deep kiss.

Suzanne was dazed by the kiss, her mind going blank. She only knew that his kiss was deep and long as he pressed her against the wall for what seemed like centuries.

After it ended, she dumbfoundedly followed Nathan downstairs and joined the family for breakfast.

At the table, Florence curiously asked, “Suzanne, what did Madam Hoffis want from you yesterday?”

Everyone looked at Suzanne with interest.

Suzanne paused slightly before replying, “Oh, nothing much.”

Then, she lowered her head to continue eating breakfast, showing no intention of telling them.

Layla sneered disdainfully, “What else could it be? People like Madam Hoffis either resort to threats or bribery.

“Anyway, she probably wanted to get Suzanne away from Nathan for her precious granddaughter’s sake.”

Suzanne felt a bit annoyed. “Layla, you sure can read people.”

Nathan quietly ate breakfast, but his expression became increasingly

grim.

Ever the busybody, Wendy excitedly leaned toward Suzanne and asked, “How much money did Madam Hoffis offer you?”

Suzanne casually answered, “She says I can state any price.” Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

Wendy was astonished. “Oh my God you didn’t agree?”

As soon as she said so, Wendy realized her mistake, glanced at Nathan’s unhappy face, and hastily added, “I mean, you have great self -control to not be tempted by vanity. That’s commendable.”

Suzanne shrugged it off.

The atmosphere at the table became awkward while everyone watched Nathan’s reactions closely

Only Layla, unafraid of stirring up trouble, continued, “Without Nathan’s approval, she couldn’t leave this marriage even if she wanted the money. I overheard her talking about divorce with Nathan last night.”

Everyone present looked at Suzanne with shock, their eyes filled with suspicion as they assumed that she shamelessly wanted to divorce for money.

“Suzanne, is that true?” Florence asked nervously.

Wendy exclaimed, “No way, did you really choose money?”

Layla smirked, looking smugly at Nathan.

than, don’t use your

power to bind this gold digger by your side. She’s not worth it.”

Suzanne slowly set down her utensils, her face darkening. She had completely lost her appetite. Although she wanted to speak, she was unsure of how to explain.

Just then, with a chilling and commanding tone, Nathan furiously bellowed at Layla, “Layla Unvine, you’ve crossed the line by

eavesdropping other’s conversation!”

Everyone was intimidated by his terrifying anger, and even Duke didn’t dare to defend Layla.

Layla couldn’t stand Nathan defending Suzanne. Overwhelmed by

rage, she retorted in displeasure, “I haven’t crossed any lines, not like your vain wife! Oh, wait, your marriage is just a sham.”

Immediately, Nathan’s face fell.

Suzanne also appeared stunned by Layla’s words.

The others were all surprised too. But considering Suzanne’s background and history, they felt Nathan’s lack of intimacy toward her was understandable.

In that instant, the air was filled with tension.

Duke noticed Nathan’s extremely unpleasant expression and panicked. Grabbing Layla’s hand, he whispered, “What nonsense are you spouting? Apologize to Nathan and Suzanne. You’re speaking out. of turn even when sober!”

Layla angrily shook off his hand, raising her chin defiantly as she firmly addressed Nathan, “Did I say anything wrong?”

Nathan remained silent, took out his phone, and dialed a number.
