The Wrong Woman

Chapter 26

Nathan’s expression darkened when he heard what Suzanne said. He gave her a cold glare.

Suzanne was frightened. She was afraid that he would kill her out of anger, but she couldn’t just let herself get framed like this. She wanted to fight for a chance to explain herself, even if it meant her death.

Whether Nathan believed her or not was not important. She knew she couldn’t change his perception of Sally no matter what she did..

Nathan fell silent.

He could see the fierce determination in Suzanne’s eyes. She had looked just like that when he’d saved her in Technive, and when she had beaten up her own brother in the casino.

The teary yet determined look reminded him a lot of how Sally had been when she was young. She was always determined to get over whatever difficulty she had been facing at the time.

Dazed by the illusion, he felt his heart lurch in sympathy.

After saying all that, Suzanne wiped her tears away with the back of her hand. The wounds on her palms were red and bleeding. It was only then that Nathan realized how badly she had been hurt.

She picked up her duffle bag and turned to the door. After taking a couple of staggering steps, she had to stop due to the pain. She leaned down to check on the wounds on her knees, then straightened and continued forward slowly.
