Chapter 73 She’s Hiding Something from Me
After a few seconds, Suzy returned to her senses and picked up the phone from the ground.
“I see, Yvonne. Thank you.”
“Suzy, are you all right?” Yvonne’s voice carried a trace of worry.
“I’m fine…”
Yvonne asked again, “What are you going to do now?”
“I won’t let the Carters family get away with it.” Suzy bit her lip.
Suzy told Yvonne some other things and hung up. She hugged her legs and curled up on the sofa.
At that moment, she only had one year left to live. In other words, the poison would flare up in half a year.
Thinking back to the pain caused by the poison, Suzy’s heart violently trembled. She did not want to experience it again in her life.
She took a deep breath. At this time, there was a sound coming from the bathroom.
Suzy hurriedly wiped away the tears.
Evan was dressed in a white bathrobe. He walked up to Suzy and was about to pick up the water on the table when he saw Suzy’s face.
“What’s wrong?”
“I’m fine.”
Suzy smiled and got up to enter the bathroom. Evan pressed her shoulder and asked in a low voice, “Why are you crying? What happened?”
Suzy felt a little annoyed, but she still smiled. “I’m fine… I was a little touched by the comments my fans left on Twitter.”
“Really?” Evan frowned slightly.
“Well, I’ll take a shower first.”
After saying that, Suzy hurried into the bathroom.
Behind her, Evan looked her up and down. Although they hadn’t known each other for a long time, Evan knew very well that a woman like Suzy wouldn’t be moved to tears by the fans’ comments.
She was hiding something from him.
Suzy, who had come to the bathroom, couldn’t help crying in a low voice. Warm water dripped on her head, and her eyes were full of hatred and sadness…
After taking a shower and drying her hair, Suzy walked out.
Evan was already lying on the bed. Suzy returned to the bed and lay in his arms.
“Evan, I haven’t told you a story for a long time. I’ll tell you a story tonight to coax you to sleep!” Suzy said with a smile.
Evan pursed his lips and wanted to ask something, but in the end, he only said, “Okay.”
He knew that Suzy didn’t want to tell him. Even if he did, it would be useless.
In the silent atmosphere, Suzy’s gentle voice sounded.
This voice was indeed somewhat hypnotizing.
Evan hugged her and fell asleep peacefully.
Suzy was indeed tossing and turning in bed. It was not until three in the morning that she broke free from Evan’s embrace and went to study.
Suzy turned on the computer and searched for the word Fluid-K.
After looking around, she had a general understanding. This poison was developed by a drug dealer in Vailand decades ago to control his subordinates; he made it with dozens of kinds of snake venom.
He was the only one who had the antidote.
But this boss had passed away long ago.
It was said that there was no antidote for Fluid-K in the world.
Suzy clenched her fists tightly as a sense of helplessness surfaced in her heart.
The next day, when Evan woke up, Suzy had already washed up. Evan checked the time and found that it was less than seven o’clock.
He frowned slightly and stood up. Suzy had already walked out of the bathroom.
“Why did you wake up so early?”
Suzy hadn’t slept all night, and he didn’t tell Evan. She joked with a smile, “It’s seven o’clock. Is it still early? The other presidents wake up at six o’clock.”
Evan smiled faintly. “The President got up at six o’clock, but they didn’t earn as much as I did.”
Suzy was speechless.
After breakfast, the two went to the company separately.
After arriving at the company, Alan handed Evan a document.
“Mr. Hughes, this is the orphanage information that Miss Smith lost.”
Evan opened it. The orphanage was called the Merry-Home, and it had already closed down. Twenty years ago, there had been a massive fire in this orphanage, and the fire was raging. The dean and the staff had all died in the fire, leaving only a few orphans alive.
At that time, Wendy was only two years old.
If Wendy had been adopted before that, it would have been fine. But if she hadn’t been adopted, she might have also died in the sea of fire.
So many years had passed. The information from back then had already been burnt down. It would be challenging to investigate.
Evan rubbed his forehead and said in a low voice, “Go and find the orphans of Merry-Home who survived. See if there are any clues.”
“All right, Mr. Hughes.”
On the other hand, Nina found Rachel’s private contact information, and Suzy dialed it.
As soon as she picked up the phone, Suzy said, “Rachel, I’m Suzy. I have something to talk to you about…”
Before Suzy could finish her words, Rachel’s tone was displeased.
“Suzy, why would it be you again?”
“I said, I won’t sign a contract with Starlight Pictures. Give up.”
Rachel directly hung up the call.
Suzy frowned as she looked at her phone and dialed again. The other party had already blocked her. She sighed and said to Nina, “Go check Rachel’s latest schedule.”
“Miss Carters, do we need Rachel to act in this movie?” Nina replied with some dissatisfaction.
Rachel’s attitude was so determined, so why was Suzy so persistent? There were so many actresses; it was not like she was the only one.
“Yes.” Suzy nodded.
It wasn’t that she was stubborn, but she just wanted to find out what was behind that contract and if Rachel had some hidden difficulties…
When she heard this, Nina didn’t say anything further, leaving the office immediately.
Suzy sat in her office chair. She didn’t know what to do either. Just then, the phone next to her rang.
[Remember to design a gown for me when you have the time. If you continue to brush me off, I’ll not act.]
It was a message from Cherry.
Seeing this, Suzy was speechless.
She smiled and took out a pen and paper to design a dress.
After a while, her phone rang again. It was from Cherry.
[Oh yeah, next Saturday is my brother’s birthday.]
Seeing this, Suzy paused. If Cherry hadn’t told her, she wouldn’t have known it would be Evan’s birthday next week.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Suzy had a headache again. For a man like Evan, there was nothing he lacked. What should she give him…
At noon, someone knocked on her office door. It was Victor.
When he walked into the office, his gaze landed on Suzy sitting on the office chair. She looked tired with a trace of irritability, and the trash can beside her was full of paper balls…
“Miss Carters, are you in a bad mood?”
Suzy thought that it was Nina who had come. She raised her eyes and did not reply to Victor. Instead, she asked, “Why are you here?”
Victor said, “I didn’t have any work today.”
“I want to see you.”
“Miss Carters, have you eaten yet?”
Suzy knew that if it was in the past, she would have definitely agreed to Victor’s invitation to a meal, but now…
“I’m not hungry.”
“Well, by the way, there will be an auction tomorrow night. Are you interested? I want to invite you to attend.”
Suzy had wanted to decline, but when she thought of Evan’s birthday…
She glanced at Victor and nodded. “Alright.”
“Then you go ahead with your work. I’ll pick you up tomorrow.”
After speaking, Victor didn’t wait for Suzy to refuse before leaving the office.
