The Wrong Woman

Chapter 61

Everyone else looked at her expectantly.

Cole, Lucas, and the military men stared at her in amazement. It never occurred to them that Suzanne could understand Dorzanian, a

language from a small and lesser-known country.

Nathan was shocked as well. The surprise in his eyes was apparent

despite him appearing calm and unfazed.

After recomposing himself for a bit, he asked, “A gram of?”

Suzanne took into consideration that he was on a mission, so it wasn’t appropriate for her to speak about it just like this. After giving it some thought, she said, “A gram of the rare element you’re looking for.”

An incomprehensible light flashed across Nathan’s eyes before he turned to look at the pirate and said, “Let go of her and give me the item. Then, I’ll let you go.”

Suzanne’s heart ached upon hearing what he said. He still care much about Sally.

Despite the turmoil inside her, she translated his words for the pi

The head of the pirates spoke in Dorzanian after hearing what Suzanne said. Later, she told Nathan, “He wants a speedboat.”

Nathan then ordered his men to prepare a speedboat for the pirat

Right after that, the head of the pirates walked toward the entrance while holding Sally hostage.

Nathan’s men had their guns aimed at him all the time, even when they followed the pirate out of the place. Suzanne went after them to

Just before he left, the head of the pirates spoke again. Suzanne then translated a few strings of the sentences he spoke that she could

Later, he fished out a black bottle from his pocket and hurled it in Nathan’s direction. The bottle formed a perfect arc in the air before landing steadily in Nathan’s hands.

Nathan gripped the bottle tightly as he stared at it with a fiery gaze.

Still upset, Suzanne asked him, “The pirate hasn’t gone far. Aren’t your going to shoot him?”

Nathan narrowed his eyes as he scrutinized the bottle in his hand. He seemed to have completely ignored her.

A moment later, he looked at Suzanne and, in a cool tone, said, “Tell

him that he can leave once he lets Sally go.”

There was such a stark difference between the way he treated Sally and how he treated Suzanne that Suzanne started hating him for it.

He wouldn’t take any chances at all if it meant putting Sally in the slightest danger. He just wouldn’t do it even though he could definitely kill the pirate right then and there.

In the end, Nathan chose to let the pirate go. As the thought hit Suzanne, she felt disappointment wash over her.

She turned to the head of the pirates to tell him what Nathan had said for one last time, then rushed off in the direction of the cabin without

so much as taking a glance back at them.

Wendy and Oliver walked over to Suzanne just as she reached the cabin.

With the painting in her hand, Wendy made her way to Suzzane and

spat, “Suzzane, when in the world did you tear away a corner of the painting?”

The painting lost its value now that it was ruined.

Suzanne feigned innocence. “Is it ruined now? I didn’t do it. I was so frightened by the pirates that I still feel faint right now. I’m heading back to my room to get some rest.

Oliver rushed forth to grab her arm. His eyes were full of concern. when he asked her, “What’s wrong? Are you hurt?”

Suzanne swatted his arm away from her. In a cool and indifferent tone, she said, “Mr. Hoffins, I don’t remember you at all. You’re nothing but a stranger to me, so please watch what you’re doing. Stop disturbing me.”

With that, she walked into an empty room.

Stunned, Wendy asked, “What’s wrong with her? Her eyes are teary. Was she really that scared?”

Oliver watched Suzanne’s retreating figure with eyes full of agony as he said, “She’s never been optimistic. She’s strong, yet she tears

easily.”

Wendy couldn’t care less, though. She snorted in disdain and left the painting in her hands.
