Vera pushed away the phone that Sally handed to her. "I don't want to look at it!"She looked at Nathan emotionally, tears already rolling down her face. "Tell me, Nate! Tell me I wasn't mistaken!" Nathan walked over to Vera before sinking down on one knee. He held her slightly trembling hand. In a gentle voice, he comforted her, "Grandma, don't be so sad. If you think Suzanne is Chubs, then she's Chubs. You can do whatever you want."Sally shot up to her feet at that moment. She exclaimed angrily, "Nate, I'm the real Chubs! You can't just twist the truth to appease Grandma! How long do you plan on letting her live in her delusion?""Shut up!" Nathan shouted, his expression icy. The sight of Nathan looking so furious and intimidating shocked Sally to the core. She could only pout while feeling upset, and tears started to pool up in her eyes. Vera gazed at Suzanne sadly. Affection and regret flashed across her eyes as she said, "That's right. I think she's Chubs. I know she's

Sally finally realized that Nathan was angry at her. She allowed tears to flow down her face freely so that she could look pitiful.Then, she apologized sincerely, "I'm sorry, Nate. Why are you being so mean to me all of a sudden?"Nathan questioned angrily, "Did you really think I wouldn't know about you framing Suzanne just because there weren't any surveillance cameras in Sudvilla?"All color was instantly drained from Sally's complexion. She could only gaze at Nathan, not knowing what to do. A moment later, she managed to recover from her shock."Suzanne was the one framing me!""You really don't want to admit it, huh? Do you think I'm that stupid, Sally?" Nathan looked extremely disappointed.It was then Sally realized that she could no longer keep the truth under wraps from Nathan. She burst into tears and slapped on a guilty expression."I'm sorry, Nate! I know I've made a terrible mistake!"Nathan did his best to reel in his temper. He took a deep breath, though his ton

The Morrisons crowded around Vera as they asked her how she was doing and showed their concern for her.Suzanne felt out of place, so she decided to leave the ward. Soon, she arrived at the corridor outside the garden on the first floor. She sat on a stone bench and settled her gaze on the shrubbery in the distance sullenly.Suddenly, a man's deep and rich voice shattered the silence. "What are you thinking about?"Suzanne snapped out of her thoughts right away. She tilted her head to look at the source of the voice. Nathan had already stopped next to her at that time and sat on the same bench as well. His presence was strong and domineering, as always.Suzanne's heart tightened at the sight of him. Her body stiffened before she slowly adjusted her sitting posture."Nothing," she replied coolly.Nathan's lips curled into a small smile, though his eyes darkened slightly. He asked in a chilly tone, "Did you overhear our project?"Surprised, Suzanne turned to look at him in con

Suzanne didn't stay in Shovale or Sudvilla during the next few days. Instead, she borrowed a few thousand dollars from the card Nathan had given her just so she could rent a small apartment and buy some necessities.She didn't have an educational background, nor did she know if she had any skills fit for any type of work. Hence, she decided to buy flowers in bulk at Floral Market and sell them from behind her flower cart at a designated square.Suzanne was able to earn a steady flow of cash thanks to this job. In less than half a month, she was able to save up enough money to repay the debt.For her, life was simple and happy. At the same time, she focused her efforts on preparing Vera's birthday gift.Suzanne knew Vera adored classical themes. Hence, she spent half a month producing an embroidery painting of "Starry Night".It was 8:00 am on Vera's birthday when Suzanne was awoken by the sounds of the doorbell ringing. She got out of bed blearily and made sure to comb her hair be

Cole showed up outside Suzanne's apartment block at 5:00 pm. He was surprised when he saw Suzanne.She wasn't wearing the dress Nathan had given her. Instead, she wore a plain, light blue dress. The only accessory she wore was a light blue ribbon, which was used to put her hair up in a ponytail.The light makeup adorning Suzanne's face, coupled with the plain yet pretty dress she wore, made her look pure and innocent."Mrs. Morrison, you…" Cole stared at Suzanne in surprise, though his sentence came to a staggering end. He had a feeling that he shouldn't be asking her any questions related to her appearance.Suzanne was still a little down. After nodding at Cole as a form of acknowledgment, she opted to stay quiet.Cole noticed that she wasn't carrying anything with her, so he decided to drop her a reminder in a roundabout way. "Mrs. Morrison, did you forget something?""No," Suzanne replied.Cole didn't say anything more and opened the car door for Suzanne. After she got in the
