The Wrong Woman

Chapter 261

The lights were bright at Sudvilla. The clock in the living room showed 10:30 pm.

Suzanne was sipping on a cup of warm milk on the sofa, beside her were Nathan and the Hudson siblings.

Cole and Lucas stood guard at the side. Everyone’s expression was heavy as they looked at her with anxious eyes-They were all waiting for her to calm down and tell them about her sudden disappearance.

She finished the last of her milk and lifted her head to look at everyone. Finally, her gaze fell on Nathan.

His face looked grim. His gaze was gentle yet laced with a hint of intensity. He picked up a tissue to wipe the corner of her mouth.

She lightly evaded his hand and took the tissue from him. “I got it,” she said.

“Are you feeling better now?” Nathan asked patiently. “Tell me. How did you suddenly disappear? Where did you go? What happened?”

She hesitated for a moment before turning to point toward the balcony.

“There’s a huge banyan tree in the back garden. I was sitting under the tree when a rope suddenly dropped down from above,” she explained. “I lifted my head and saw a woman climbing down from the rope.”

“What woman?” Nathan asked.

Suzanne shook her head. “I don’t know. I passed out before I could see her face. When I woke up, I was at a very remote wetland park on the outskirts. There wasn’t anyone there.”

Cole immediately turned on the computer and started looking for surveillance footage on the internet.

“What did she want? Did she harm you?” Nathan asked again.

She shook her head guiltily, her gaze flickered as she said, “I don’t know, she was gone by the time I woke up.”

Everyone in the house looked at each other with a confused look on

their faces.

“Who’s going to believe all this?” Fenna scoffed.

Suzanne fell silent and lowered her head.

Everyone was clever and lying wasn’t one of her strong suits-It was only natural that they didn’t buy her illogical story.

But Phoebe actually transported her out of Sudvilla with a pulley rope attached to a tree trunk. Then, she was placed in a car that brought her away from the estate. She just didn’t give them Phoebe’s name.

“Is someone threatening you, Suzanne? You can tell us the truth, we’ll keep you safe,” Cameron said solemnly.

He continued, “Your husband is the head of national defense. He’s untouchable in the whole of Norvania. You shouldn’t hide anything from us.”Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

She lied with an innocent expression plastered on her face. “No one is threatening me. I’m telling the truth.”

Fenna scoffed and stood up.

“You’re wasting our time with your fabricated nonsense,” she said coldly. “The way I see it, you’re completely fine-You snuck out for fun and to make everyone worried about you.

“Nate had so many people looking for you while you just wanted to

draw some attention to yourself!”

“I…” Suzanne was suddenly speechless. The word “no” was stuck in

her throat.

The kidnapping wasn’t her fault, but she was technically lying. Hence, she had no confidence to defend herself.

She didn’t explain any further and stood up to lightly bow at everyone. instead. “I’m sorry for making all of you worry.”

Subsequently, she turned and headed toward the staircase.

Nathan hurriedly ran after her. He pulled on her wrist and asked, “Are you really okay, Chubs? Let me take you for a check-up at the hospital.

She turned her head and looked up at him. His eyes were filled with worry but his gaze was laced with warmth.

”

In that instance, she finally understood why he was calling her “Chubs” and looked at her with such a gentle gaze. If her guess was correct, Nathan must’ve already been aware of her true identity.

That was the only thing that made her happy in that moment-The woman that he had deeply loved for more than ten years turned out to

this time, she’d been jealous of herself. Upon thinking about it, she found it incredibly unbelievable.

“I’m really fine,” she replied softly. “I just want to get some rest in my

room.”

The worry in his eyes was still apparent, but he still obeyed her wishes and let her return to her room anyway.
