Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Chapter 163

Thinking of this, Carl softened his voice.

“Susan, are you still blaming mom and dad? Yana has been in poor health since she was a

child, so we dote on her a little. What happened last time also made us reflect on

ourselves. Yana… Alas, she has been spoiled by us.”

Susan pursed her lips and remained silent.

“Susan, I know I was wrong. Can’t you give me a chance to correct it?” Carl looked at Susan eagerly. “I don’t ask you to forgive me immediately, but how can you not even give me a chance to speak?

“Don’t worry. I just want to know about your current situation. I won’t make any excessive demands.

“This… is merely a father who cares about his daughter.

“Do you want me to kneel to you?”

Carl wiped his tears as he spoke.

The people around him all looked over curiously.

Ben frowned and wanted to say something.

Susan pressed his hand down.

Today was the Charlie’s 80th birthday!

If Carl made any trouble and affected the mood of the old man, it would be bad.

The only thing Susan could think of now was to deal with him first.

So, Susan said calmly, “Stop crying. Let’s talk outside.”

“Okay, okay, okay, let’s go out and talk.” Carl quickly wiped his tears.

“Susan,” Ben said without hesitation, “I’ll go with you.”

Chapter 163

“There are so many important guests here. How are you going to get out of here?” Susan said softly, “Don’t worry. I’ll be back soon.”

Ben was still frowning.

“Hey, we’re at the Landor family’s residence, not somewhere else,” Susan said with a smile.

Only then did Ben relax a little.

Indeed, this was the Landor family’s residence.

Today was the birthday party of Charlie, and the whole place was heavily guarded.

No matter what Carl wanted to do, it was impossible for him to succeed. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“I’ll be back soon,” Susan said and followed Carl out.

“Susan, thank you for talking to me.” Carl looked happy.

Susan lowered her gaze, unperturbed.

The villa of the Landor family covered a large area.

After leaving the bustling hall, Susan stood still. “What do you want to say? Just say it.”

Carl seemed to be in a dilemma. “Susan, there are many people coming and going here. Can we find a quiet place?”

Susan glanced at him and became even more suspicious. “Where do you want to go?”

“We’re not going anywhere.” Carl pointed to the man–made lake in front of them. “There’s a man–made lake there. Let’s go to the lakeside. What do you think?”

Lake?

Susan had never hesitated to speculate about Carl with the most vicious thoughts.

At this moment, she became more vigilant.

“What’s wrong? Are you worried that dad will hurt you?” Carl smiled bitterly and said, “Then, let’s stand farther, okay?”

Chapter 163

“That would be for the best,” Susan agreed without hesitation.

Carl was speechless.

It seemed that his daughter had completely lost trust and faith in him.

Carl suddenly felt that it was a good choice for him to agree to cooperate with Isabella.

When they were two or three meters away from the lake, Susan stood still and looked at Carl. “What do you want to say? Just say it. There are still many guests waiting for me to

entertain.”

Carl faintly showed a sad expression. “Susian, I know you are busy. Don’t worry, I will leave after saying a few words. It won’t take up your time.”

Susan raised her, eyebrows and said quickly.

Carl sighed. “Does Ben treat you well? He looks good now. He should be very popular with girls, right?”

Susan sneered. “It’s none of your business.”

“I’m just worried that he’ll…” Carl sighed again. “Forget it. No matter what I say now, you still think that I have ulterior motives. Susan, those things in the past were my fault. Although you married into the Landor family and had no worries about your life, I think that women should have their own private coffer. At that time, when you got married, I didn’t prepare your dowry for you. Now, I’ll make it up to you.”

Carl took out a card from his pocket and said, “There are two million dollars in this card, which can be regarded as my dowry for you. Don’t think it’s too little. Although our family is rich, it can’t compare with the Landor family. This is all the money I can get.”

Carl stuffed the card into the hands of Susan.

This was actually an empty card.

But Carl was not worried that Susan would verify it at all. She did not have this opportunity, after all.

Moreover, with her personality, Susan would most likely not take it.

Chapter 163

Carl just wanted to pretend to win the trust of Susan.

Susan stared at the card for a while.

Carl felt proud in his heart.

No one knew better than him how soft–hearted Susan was.

At this moment, she was probably already extremely touched, right?

Just when Carl was complacent, Susan reached out and took the card.

“Susan,” Carl said with a kind face, “Don’t worry that mom and dad don’t have enough money. Just take the money. Even if we have bread only every day, we want you to have money and live a dignified life in the Landor family.”

“Okay, thank you,” Susan said.

“Don’t refuse…” Carl suddenly paused.

What?

She accepted it?

Susan smiled. “I have another question for you.”

Π

Carl adjusted his expression. “Susan, do you want to ask me why I suddenly changed so much? In fact…”

“No.” Susan interrupted him. “I just want to ask, what is the password of this card?”

Carl was confused.

Susan frowned. “This is a very important question. How can I withdraw money if I don’t know the password? How can I live with dignity in the Landor family’s residence? Or is there no money in this card at all?”

Susan looked at Carl suspiciously.

Carl was sweating on his forehead.

Chapter 163

Damn it, when did his stupid daughter become so difficult to deal with?

If Isabella didn’t take action anytime soon, he wouldn’t be able to hold on.

Carl took a deep breath and said with difficulty, “Of course I have money in my card. The password is your birthday.”

Susan raised her eyebrows. “My birthday? Okay, I’ll try it after the birthday party.”

Carl was speechless.

He forced a smile and said, “Anyway, Susan, you have to believe that I have really repented. I really know that I was wrong. After all, you are my daughter. How can parents not love their children? Do you still remember? Five years ago…”

Carl tried his best to stall for time.

At first, Susan was still listening casually.

But Carl was talking more and more.

She was getting impatient.

“Dad, I still have something to do. Let’s talk on the phone next time.”

Susan turned to leave.

“Wait, you can’t leave yet.” Carl grabbed her arm anxiously.

Susan looked at him strangely. “Then what else do you want?”

“There’s one more thing… Actually, actually…” Carl tried to make up a story.

“I’m sorry, I really…” Susan frowned and broke free.

Right at this moment, a joyous voice sounded.

“Okay. I finally caught you.” Penelope walked over with bright eyes.

wrong with her. “Tell me, did you

She stared at Susan as if she had found something secretly meet Carl here because you took money from the Landor family to support your

own family?” she asked as she stared at Susan.

As Penelope spoke, her voice became excited.

When Isabella told her that she saw Susan sneaking out, she was still skeptical.

Now, she had seen it with her own eyes!

Susan was secretly meeting with Carl with a bank card in her hand. If this was not, a secret payment, what was it?

“What nonsense are you spouting?” Susan frowned.

“I’m talking nonsense? How am I talking nonsense?” Penelope raised her voice. “The bank card in your hand, didn’t you prepare to give it to your parents? Although the Landor family is rich, we have no reason to support your whole family.”

“Shut up!” Susan was annoyed. “Today is Grandpa’s birthday party!”

“So what if it’s the birthday party?” Penelope was even more arrogant. “Are you afraid that he will have problems with you if he finds out? Then I have to help you spread this around!”

As she spoke, she deliberately shouted, “Everyone, come and see. Susan, she…”

“Don’t be unreasonable.” Susan was completely angry. She said coldly, “First of all, I didn’t give this card to the Miller family. It was Carl who gave it to me. Secondly, if you make another noise, it will affect today’s birthday party. I’ll ask someone to drive you out immediately.”

“Yes, yes, yes, this card was really given to Susan by me.” Carl said hurriedly, “You misunderstood.”

“You’re giving it to Susan?” Penelope sneered. “Who would believe that?”

“Believe it or not! But if you say one more word, you won’t be able to attend the birthday banquet.” Susan said coldly.

“I’m the wife of Ben’s father! How dare you?” Penelope widened her eyes.

“If you dare ruin grandpa’s mood, then I’ll dare to do that.” Susan refused to give in.

When the security guards saw what was happening, they moved closer.

Penelope was a little scared.

It had been two months since she left the Landor family’s residence.

The residence of the Landor family had long been under Susan’s control.

If she argued with Susan at this time, she would not be able to gain any advantage.

Penelope gritted her teeth and said reluctantly, “I’ll talk to you about it when the birthday party is over!”

“It’s up to you.” Susan was expressionless. “But grandpa’s birthday banquet can’t be ruined.”

Penelope snorted and said, “He is also my dad! You don’t have to remind me.”

With that, Penelope turned around and left.

Carl hurriedly looked at Susan apologetically. “I’m sorry, Susan. I didn’t know that it would cause you trouble.”

Susan shook her head and said no more.

But in her heart, she still felt that Penelope had come at the right time.

Who informed Penelope of this?

Was the person deliberately trying to ruin grandpa’s birthday banquet?
