Chapter 9

Suzanne raised a hand to stop Lucas from speaking further. “That’s enough. You don’t need

to leave.”

She wasn’t petty enough to make someone lose a job they loved over such a small matter.

Thrilled, Lucas thanked her gratefully. “Thank you so much, Madam. I truly appreciate it. I’m at your service from now on, no matter what you needto do.”

Uncomfortable, Suzanne handed him Nathan’s watch. “There’s no need to be so dramatic. Just help me return this to Nathan.”

“Sure.” Lucas took the watch from her.

Suzanne asked, “Are there any train stations or airports nearby?”

Lucas was dismayed. “Are you going to leave?”

Suzanne forced a bitter smile and nodded. She couldn’t stand watching Nathan’s affection for another woman any longer.

After all, she wasn’t a masochist.

She planned to explain everything to Nathan’s grandmother, Vera Cross, and end this marriage.

After a moment’s hesitation, Lucas said, “Lettake you there tomorrow, Madam. It’s a six

-hour drive to Phoenicia.

“Alright. Thank you.” Suzanne smiled stiffly. Her voice was weak from despair.

She left the training ground in a daze.

The gentle, warm evening sun lit everything in a rosy hue.

Suzanne had spent her treading away in her room and had skipped lunch. Now, it was almost time for dinner.

She stepped out and walked toward the cafeteria.

On the way there, she bumped into Nathan, who was accompanied by Cole and Lucas.

Both assistants greeted her in unison. “Madam.”

Suzanne nodded in response.

“Hello.”

Nathan’s gaze was as distant as usual. “Lucas said you’re leaving tomorrow.”

“Yeah.”

“Not used to living here?” he probed.

Suzanne forced a bitter smile and made up a random excuse. “I miss Grandma.”

Nathan’s expression hardened, and his tone turned sharp. “Are you planning to discuss our divorce with her?”

Since he had seen through her lie, she didn’t hide it from him. She said anxiously, “It must have been hard for you to marryjust to keep Grandma happy. “Why don’t we just end things?”

Nathan snorted. “You’ve been Grandma’s caregiver for three years. Shouldn’t you know her personality by now?”

“If she doesn’t agree, then we can secretly get divorced and pretend to be a couple in front of her,” Suzanne replied firmly.

Nathan felt his pride suffer a blow with his two subordinates listening closely. Countless women in the world would die to be his wife, yet Suzanne seemed to hate it instead.

Nathan sneered, “You did all of this to marryfor my money, right? Well, nyour price.”

Taken aback, Suzanne froze.

She felt stung by his words. She unconsciously clenched her fists, which were shaking from fury. Her eyes teared up.

How horrible of a person did he think she was?

Blinking back her tears, on a calm front. She said mockingly, “Sorry, but I don’t need money. A disgusting woman likehas been earning money from men for years. I’ve decided to turn over a new leaf, so I needed a loyal fool to marry.”

A loyal fool?

Nathan scowled.

Behind him, Lucas and Cole struggled not to laugh.

Just then, a researcher hurried over and reported urgently, “General, there’s been a chemical

leak in Lab Five. Many people were poisoned, including Ms. Hoffis.”

Immediately, Nathan dashed toward Lab Five.

Chemical poisoning?

Seeing how reckless he was acting, Suzanne becworried and quickly followed after him.
