Reyna harrumphed, "I am not generous to give you favors." She then called the maids behind her. "Escort her out." Before the maids could move, Suzie played her recording on the phone. Reyna's voice sounded. From the moment she started conversing with the man on the phone, to the point Reyna and the other person flirted, to the end of the call, everything was recorded. Reyna looked at the phone in shock. She wanted to get the phone from Suzie but the latter was more nimble than her. Suzie was able to avoid her. "Mother-in-law, are you trying to steal your daughter-in-law's old phone? This phone is cheap and not updated with the current trends. But it can send the recording to many emails and others accounts by default. As you see mother, your daughter-in-law loves saving things and sending them to others. Who knows if your daughter-in-law who had worked many jobs might have known some reporters who love family scandals?" Reyna looked at Suzie, horrified. "You...What are you trying

Javier had been anxious and lonely ever since Suzie left that morning. His anxiousness and sadness grew and turned into anger as time passed. Did she really leave him?! After acting nice and sleeping with him, she still planned to leave him in the end. But then as time passed, his anger turned into realization and understanding. As expected. No one would treat him sincerely. How could a young woman who had a promising life ahead of her be willing to marry him? How could she want to spend the rest of her life with a half-dead like him? No one wants a disabled husband who could not work or provide her with anything. He could not even reply to her small talk or protect her from harm. He was just someone who was incapable and at the mercy of others. Javier's esteem reached its lowest point. How could he ask that woman to stay with him and bear the burden of taking care of him? When in reality, they were just strangers. She was forced to stay with him in this pitiful situation

"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

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

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
