The Wrong Woman Chapter 174
Suzanne supported Betty's decision to divorce, but she drew the line when it came to providing her a place to stay. Instead, she encouraged Betty to look for a job, to enrich herself with knowledge and skills, and to become a better self. Betty, seeing no benefit in further conversation, retreated to the comfort of the York family with disappointment. A week passed, and the long-awaited DNA test results were finally ready. Despite mentally preparing herself for the outcome, Suzanne found herself shattered by the reality they revealed. She stood dumbfounded outside the hospital with tears clouding her vision as she saw the words confirming her lack of biological relation. The report validated all the suspicions and inconsistencies surrounding her identity. If she wasn't Suzanne, then who was she? Where were her true family and friends? And what dark motives lay behind the elaborate scheme to mold her into Suzanne? On her ride home in the car, her mind swirled with these

Suzanne lowered her head with a smile on her face as she replied, "Okay." Nathan let out a sigh of relief. Though he was reluctant to end the call, there was a meeting in progress. "If there's nothing else, I should go," Nathan said. A wave of disappointment swept over Suzanne. "Would he really end the call after just two minutes? How did other long-distance couples manage to talk for hours, or even half a day?" she pondered. But she soon realized that those conversations were reserved for couples deeply in love. There was no such affection between her and Nathan. Even if he had the time, he wouldn't indulge in romantic exchanges with her. "Alright." Suzanne's voice carried a hint of sadness as she murmured softly, "Bye." With the call ended, Suzanne set her phone aside and turned to gaze out the window, a mixture of uncertainty and longing swirling within her. "Would Nathan send someone to pick me up tomorrow?" Suzanne wondered, a glimmer of hope flickering in her heart
The Wrong Woman Chapter 176
Suzanne found herself teetering on the brink of losing consciousness. It was as if she had been swallowed by an endless abyss of despair and fear. She trembled in the water, unable to catch a single breath. In that fleeting moment, death loomed close, and Nathan's image flashed through her mind. Confronted with the specter of death, he was the sole anchor she clung to desperately.In a startling twist of events, Sally abruptly released her grip, instead simulating a struggle as if she were drowning, her cries for help piercing the air. "Help!" Suzanne faintly heard Sally's desperate pleas, followed by the sound of two splashes. Her consciousness teetered on the edge as fear filled her, yet she persisted in her struggle, bobbing up and down in the water. As she emerged from the water's surface, her hazy eyes caught a glimpse of Nathan's figure, carrying Sally toward the shore. Was it an illusion? Why was Nathan here? Did he just save Sally? The unsettling sensation of dread

Nathan exited the ward, with Oliver trailing closely behind, closing the door as he followed. Observing Nathan's somber demeanor, Oliver questioned coldly, "Nate, deep down, do you still love Sally?" Nathan paused in his tracks, his expression turning icy. "Sally may have made mistakes in her attempts to win you back, but it's all because she loves you too much. The incident at the pool must have been an accident."If you can spare a moment, perhaps you should check on Sally. Her fear of water might have traumatized her," Oliver suggested. Despite Oliver's words, Nathan remained silent, his back to Oliver as he strode away with purposeful steps, leaving no room for further discussion. Watching Nathan's retreating figure, Oliver's eyes flickered with determination. Sally had crossed a line. Despite his multiple warnings to keep her hands off Suzanne, Sally persisted in harming her. Nathan walked out of the hospital and entered the military base's armed vehicle.Cole and Lu

He sighed and leaned back into his chair, his tone incredibly gentle as he spoke, "Did I wake you?" After a day of contemplation, Suzanne could now face him calmly. A hint of detachment flickered in her eyes as she replied, "You should get some rest. I'm fine now. You don't have to stay here with me." Nathan attempted to clarify the day's events. "I didn't see you underwater. Besides, Sally can't swim." A bitter smile tugged at Suzanne's lips. While she could accept the first explanation, the second seemed absurd. How could a wealthy heiress not know how to swim? Her tone grew sharper, more frustrated. "You don't need to explain. It's unnecessary." Noticing her anger from her cutting and unforgiving words, he replied helplessly, "Suzy, I can't leave Sally alone in that situation." It was the true test of loyalty. In moments of dire need, thoughts became muddled, and instinct dictated every action. Nathan loved Sally deeply, and Suzanne had no grounds to blame him for his

Cole and Lucas rushed to restrain Loretta, preventing her from getting closer to the pool. Sally's desperate struggles in the water were chaotic, far from the movements of a proficient swimmer. "Help me! Nate, I can't swim!" she cried. Hearing the screams, Oliver, who was on the second floor, hurried outside the balcony. Startled by the commotion, he quickly rushed to the scene. Nathan stood silently at the pool's edge, observing Sally's floundering with an unsettling calm. Despite her frantic efforts, she had yet to sink. Loretta's tearful pleas for help from the butler and Oliver echoed through the air.As Oliver rushed down, Lucas restrained him. "Nathan, have you lost your mind? Sally can't swim. You need to get her out of there!" Oliver's voice thundered with rage, the veins on his neck bulging. "Are you trying to kill her?"Equally distraught and furious, Loretta begged, "Nate, please save Sally. She's in trouble. She can't swim!" Nathan remained unmoved, his demean

Oliver seethed with rage, but his voice was stifled, unable to break free from the force that dragged him away. Sally, pretending to be weak, stumbled and leaned on Loretta. "Nate, I nearly drowned. Why would you do this to me? You knew I couldn't swim. Did you want to harm me?" Despite her claim of being unable to swim, Sally managed to stay afloat for 20 minutes. After finally getting out, she appeared remarkably composed. The most perplexing part was her complete lack of symptoms related to aquaphobia. Noticing something was unusual, Loretta tightly grasped Sally's hand, scrutinizing her with astonishment. "Sally, have you overcome your fear of water? Are you no longer afraid?" Sally hesitated for a moment before bursting into tears. "Grandma, I'm terrified. I'm shaking all over, and I'm scared to death." Nathan's expression darkened. Without a word, he turned and walked away, with Cole and Lucas trailing behind. "Nate!" Sally cried out from behind them, sobbing uncontr

Nathan searched every possible place Suzanne could be in.Shovale, her mother's house, her old rented place—there wasn't a hint of her presence. She had disappeared without a trace.It'd only been a day, but he'd grown a lot wearier. The heart-wrenching pain he felt when he first left the country ten years ago had resurfaced with even greater intensity. At noon, an uninvited guest appeared at the Morrison Residence. A female lawyer had come as Suzanne's representative to settle matters regarding the divorce. In the study, the sun outside shone bright, and the room was airy. However, the atmosphere inside was depressing and suffocating. The lawyer, Lana Scott, placed a bank card and the divorce settlement agreement in front of him. "My client has already signed her name on the agreement. This bank card is yours, Mr. Morrison. She'll pay back the money she'd spent in installments."Nathan's expression was cold as he stared grimly at the document on the table. At the moment, his
