After boasting her greatest achievement to the only audience she had, Suzie started to think of the matters again.She succeeded for now, but there were many things to come. She knew that life would not go according to her plans. She had to be on guard for the upcoming unexpected and unfavorable situations.During that time, Suzie was not sure if she was able to stay by her husband's side."I'll be going out frequently by then. You will be left alone here. Although I told Reyna to tell the maids to stop coming here, I am still worried that some people are blind and come here to harm you. So I have to continue locking you up." Suzie said as she fiddle with the keys of the padlock.She doesn't want to lock him up. However, this was the only way to ensure that no one would hurt him while she was gone. Although those maids who trespassed in this room did not touch Javier, they might do so the second time they come here."But don't worry. I'll make sure your IV bag is full and you are in g
"I see. It's too bad that we can't meet. Then, please tell Yena that I will be rooting for her. When my brother-in-law comes home, I will make sure to open an opportunity for her. This is the repayment for treating me well."The senior maid lost all color on her face. Her mouth was agape in shock. "M-miss..."She took her hands off the handle of the door. She was afraid that Suzie's voice would reach the Madame's ears.Suzie looked at her innocently. The senior maid's lips were pale. She stuttered, "Miss...please don't speak like that. Especially with Madame around. This kind of joke is not good.""Who said I am joking? I am not joking. This is my sincere offer to Yena.""Miss! Don't take to heart what that naive young maid said. She doesn't know what she is talking about. I'll reprimand her and make her stop wishing about it!"Suzie acted confused. "Why are you going to scold her? It's not a bad idea to seduce my brother-in-law. They are both single and beautiful people. I am sure Y
Xander shook his head. He looked flustered, "I don't mean to be rude, Mrs. Albretch. Please forgive me. I just...did not expect that you two seemed to have a good relationship."Suzie raised her brow. Her husband was comatose. How could they form a good relationship? Everything was just one-sided.However, she did not speak. She knew very well what Xander meant.To outsiders, Suzie was a pawn sacrificed for the well-being and greed of her family. No woman would be willing to marry a comatose man who was destined to die. It was the same as ruining the woman's future.So for Xander, Suzie who was forced into that situation would be unwilling and might hate Javier a bit. So it was unexpected for him when Suzie called Javier her 'husband' without remorse or shame.To ease the awkward atmosphere in the air, Xander answered Suzie's question earlier."I have met Javier a few times in the past due to some business deals. He is a capable heir and an outstanding man. I am not competent enough t
Reyna was pleased that she finally found a way to leave this house freely and go wherever she wanted to go without minding her reputation and the eyes of society. With Suzie around, leaving this house and spending fun time with Mr. Linton had become much easier. Reyna was excited to taste the freedom so she wanted to immediately go outside after introducing Suzie to Philip. "I want to visit your manor. Can we go?" Reyna hugged Philip's arms and acted coquettish. Suzie felt that her eyes hurt. If Reyna was a young woman like Bianca, her actions might not seem strange. But for a forty-year-old woman doing this...was kinda seemed weird for her. Fortunately, Reyna has good looks and Philip was good at pretending to be swayed by this 'cute' act. Philip rubbed Reyna's head. "Of course. There is a place I want to bring you to." Reyna smiled happily. But Xander started to protest. "Father. I don't think the manor is-" Philip glanced at him with a warning in his eyes, "Xander, since S
It was deep in the night when Suzie returned to the Albrecht mansion. Reyna enjoyed her time in the Lintons and even wanted to stay for the night. Suzie had to convince Reyna that it would be bad if they spent a night outside on their first trip. Philip also agreed with Suzie and convinced Reyna. Fortunately, Reyna was in a good mood and finally accepted to go home. Suzie learned a lot in this one trip. First, the Lintons have a deep history comparable to the Albretchs. But in Xander's grandfather's generation, they lost most of their wealth. It was Philip who made a comeback. Suzie wondered how Reyna saw Philip as a gentle sheep. When he was clearly a lion who pulled the weight of his family's debt on his back and continued to rise as to what they are now. Such a man who experienced winds and rain would not be a submissive pet but a fierce one. Anyone who learned of Linton's family would know that Philip, the current head, was not simple at all. Well, Suzie doesn't have the h
In the study room of the Linton mansion, Philip stood in front of the french window admiring the crescent moon in the dark sky without any expression on his face.The lampshade at the corner of the room illuminated the side of his face, reflecting an eerily light on his golden frame eyeglasses. His usual gentle countenance was nowhere to be seen.When Xander entered the room, he saw his father's solemn back."Have you looked into it?" Philip's cold voice sounded. His gentle facade was gone. He was the cold and tough father that Xander knows."Yes. Her maiden name is Suzie Bei. She was an illegitimate daughter of the Thomson family and was introduced to society four months ago. She lived alone in a small city and worked three jobs at the same time to pay a huge debt before the Thomsons found her. I bet she doesn't know the deal between the Thomson family and the Albrecht family. Do you still want to look into it?" Xander replied.When they left the Albrecht mansion earlier, his father
"That half-dead should be happy that he still has a wife before he dies. If it is not for the former head's will, that half dead would have been abandoned long ago." "Now that he is married. Does it mean the Albrecht family could stop supporting him?" "Isn't that the same as letting him die? Why go through all that? Just give him an injection to end his suffering. He wouldn't wake up anyway. Why waste people's effort and money?" Their mocking continued. Kingsley put down his wine glass and finally spoke, "Don't be like that. My brother might not be able to wake up. But father and mother is respecting grandfather's wishes. We keep our own words and we make sure to fulfill them." The man who was interrupted was not offended. He knew that Kingsley was just saying it to look nice. But everyone here knows how happy Kingsley was when they talked badly about his half-brother. "It's my bad. The Albretch truly deserved to be looked upon by many
Suzie rode the bicycle early in the morning to the main mansion. She planned to be discreet. However, she was caught by the middle-aged maid who once scolded her for being late. The senior maid was in a bad mood early in the morning. Her mood worsened when she saw the young and pretty maid just coming in.Nowadays, they were a lot of pretty young maids who were recruited in this mansion. A lot of them were clumsy and didn't know how to do the job well. They only know how to look pretty. The senior maid exactly knows why those maids were here. The second young master was known to be flirty and love pretty women. Many women wish to be the mistress of the only favored son of the Albrecht family.The old maids want to take advantage of that fact and brought their most pretty relative to this mansion wishing their relative could become the young madame of this house.Despite the newly recruit maids being inexperienced, they were still accepted. Because every one of them has a backer. T
