Chapter 147

Tears welled up in Suzanne’s eyes as she felt inexplicably touched.

Despite the possibility of her being misled, Nathan’s words made

Suzanne feel warm and fuzzy inside,

However, it was still a fact that Nathan did move out of their bedroom

last night. He was genuinely being cold and distant toward her. Suzanne couldn’t help feeling confused by his actions.

This man really knew how to play with one’s feelings, alternating between hot and cold.

Suzanne withdrew her hand slowly and shook her head. “I’m not going anywhere. I choose to stay here.”

Nathan’s gaze was fixed on Suzanne as he pointed at Lindsey’s ugly expression. “It’s tough to live with a shrew like her. Either your p to her level, or she would trample you under her feet.”

Lindsey stood up with her hands on her hips. She repriman

angrily, “You brat, how dare you call me a shrew?”

Nathan only had eyes for Suzanne. He didn’t respond to Lindsey even ignored everyone else.

Pursing her lips, Suzanne finally smiled as she looked confidently int Nathan’s worried eyes. “Don’t worry. I can be as shrewish as her, or even more so.”

Nathan furrowed his brow. In that instant, he couldn’t comprehend the meaning behind Suzanne’s words.

At this moment, Edgar ran in and said, “Sir, many reporters have gathered outside, as well as lawyers and-”

Before Edgar could finish, Layla stood up as she couldn’t wait to see

Suzanne humiliated in public. “Edgar, please let them in.”

Lindsey chimed in eagerly, “Invite them to the reception hall in the side wing. Once Ms. Inkwell arrives, we will go over.”

Edgar immediately went out to greet the guests.

Nathan narrowed his eyes and turned to Lindsey. His gaze was positively murderous.

“Are you trying to force my hand?” he asked in a low and solemn tone.

The color drained from Lindsey’s face, and her body stiffened in fright. Anxiously, she turned to Gary and complained in a timid tone, “Gary, look at your son! He dared to go against his aunt for the sake of a despicable woman! Your heartless son has been completely

bewitched and can’t distinguish right from wrong!”

Gary snorted and replied, “Why don’t you look at what you’ve to Suzanne? She is still Nate’s wife, after all. How could you Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

many outsiders to our home to humiliate her? As an elder in th family, you have gone too far!”

Layla spoke up, “But Lindsey is only doing this for the good of the family.”

Duke quickly chimed in, “That’s right. Dad, you should stay out of this Aunt Lindsey is only trying to help Nate and the family by kicking out the trash that might bring harm to us.

Duke and Layla had always looked down on Suzanne. Given the opportunity, they were definitely ready to add insult to injury and kick her while she was down.

Taylor and Tobias, along with their wives, remained neutral. They didn’t dare to say a word. At this juncture, there was no benefit in taking sides.

Sally watched the drama from the sidelines, and her heart was filled with glee.

Right then, Edgar hurried in again. “Sir, I have escorted the guests to the side wing. Ms. Inkwell has arrived with her assistant as well.”

Despite being the head of the family Gary had no real authority. Feeling embarrassed, he found himself stuck in between his youngest daughter-in-law and his younger sister. He was at a loss on how to resolve the situation.

Lindsey seemed agitated as she walked up to Suzanne and taunted, You can’t escape now. Today, you must apologize to Ms. Inkwell and beg for her forgiveness. Otherwise, she will file a lawsuit against you. Just wait to be thrown into jail!

“However, if you sincerely apologize to Ms. Inkwell, I might plead leniency for your sake. You need to admit that you impersonated her and sold fake paintings to scam people out of money.

“Then, return the five million dollars you’ve earned from paintings and publicly apologize to the media. Maybe Ms. might forgive you and spare you from going to jail.”

Suddenly, Wendy spoke up angrily, “Let’s go and face them. no need to be afraid. Suzanne, I will go with you.”

the

Wendy felt reluctant at the thought of returning the five million. dollars she earned. She quickly walked to Suzanne’s side and pulle

her along.

Suzanne had no intention of escaping. It was a good opportunity for

her to discover her true identity.

Nathan stepped forward and grabbed Suzanne’s arm. He spoke solemnly, “With me here, you don’t have to go if you don’t want to.

Don’t be afraid.”

Unexpectedly, Suzanne pressed her lips together and gave him a

confident smile. She gently pulled her arm out of his grip and followed Wendy with determined steps.

Nathan was afraid that Suzanne might get bullied by others, so he immediately followed after her.
