Aggresive Wife

Chapter 34

With Bruno’s words hitting a nerve in her, Suzette widened her eyes and denied it. “No way. We don’t have the authority to do that. How could it be us?”

Her eyes welled up in tears. “I understand the urgency of the matter, but it’s no reason for you to put the blame on us.”

Restless, Bruno kneaded his temples instead of comforting Suzette like he used to.

The butler happened to walk in at this moment and handed over a tiny case. “Sir, a man dropped this item off for you. He said it contains the much-needed information on the Shallow Bay development.”

With a scowl, Bruno reached out to grab the case while Suzette jolted to her feet. Her sudden movement startled Bruno to drop the case, spilling its content to the ground.

There were evidence and records of financial entries.

The paperwork was mere copies and not the original.

By the looks of the copies, the evidence all pointed to his wife and daughter.

Pin-drop silence befell the room.

Suzette was thrown in a fluster. With trembling hands, she stared at the surly man and withdrew a step back before uttering in a shaky voice, “Angie took it for an emergency. Don’t be mad. We still have Mr. Quincy to fall back on.”

Bruno let out a menacing scoff while clutching the receipts in hand. The extortionate price Angie paid for a wedding dress put him in a fouler mood.

Suzette was slowly pulling back to make her escape when a hand grabbed her by the arm and yanked her to the ground. Losing her footing, Suzette took a bad tumble.

“Wham!” With her knees falling to the ground, the agony drained her face of color.
