His Lordship Alexander Kane

Chapter 0043

Susanne supported Patrick as they soaked up the sun in a small square at Belmont Hills.

However, plenty of neighbors were around, pointing and gossiping about them.

“Wow, Susanne! You’re finally out today!” Betty, a woman about Susanne’s age, smirked and spoke

Susanne snorted and could not be bothered to engage with Betty, simply replying, “What does it matter

Alexander.

Does he have a good job?”

Susanne, not in the mood to argue with Betty, snapped, “It’s none of your business!”

embarrassing too, don’t you?”

Betty was clearly looking for trouble. Neighbors like her could not stand to see others do well. In all of
