The Wrong Woman

Nathan gazed at Suzanne meaningfully, a hint of suspicion still tinging his tone.

“Suzanne, everything that’s happened so far will make sense if you’ve

been faking your amnesia the whole time.”

Suzanne sighed in resignation. She hung her head low before speaking up in a self-deprecating tone, “You’re saying that I got cosmetic surgery and formed a close bond with Grandma just so I could marry you and stay by your side.

“Apparently, I don’t give a damn about money and social standing because all I want is to steal confidential files about Norvania. If I’ve truly faked my amnesia, then I guess I’m one hell of a spy, then.”

Nathan responded, “Precisely.”

Suzanne could only smile helplessly. “Now that my identity is about to get exposed, I’m more than eager to get a divorce with you. That’s why all the puzzles fit the frame. It all makes sense.”

Nathan fell silent.

Suzanne raised her head to look at the sky, feeling an invisi gripping her heart. She felt so suffocated that she could barely

breathe.

She wanted to explain herself so badly, but she couldn’t deny all those things as well due to her amnesia. Heck, she wasn’t even sur if those incidents had truly happened in the past.

Perhaps she really was a member of Nightshade Clan before her amnesia. What if getting close to Nathan happened to be a step in Nightshade Clan’s scheme as well?

The only difference was that she had lost her memories while camryiiggtit out.

Suzanneend donger wanted to explain herself anymore. Words couldn’t serve as substantial evidence, anyway. They wouldn’t be able to help heer case even if she were to say anything more.

She drew todicer feet before leaving the courtyard wordlessly. Just as she started moving away, she heard Nathan’s voice drifting from

behind her.

“Suzanne, everything is progressing too smoothly right now.”

Suzanne stopped inniher tracks, clearly stunned. But she didn’t turn, letting Nathan face cheerback. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Nathan stood up, his egyes still glued to Suzanne’s slender figure. He said firmly, “If you really ante a member of Nightshade Clan, there’s no way I could’ve gotten my hands on all of your information so easily.

“I’ve obtained all the informaticon i could get on you without even breaking a sweat, be it your family background, your past experiences, and your pre and post cosmetic surgical photos and information.

“This also includes the data of you joining Nightshade Clan training. It’s as if someone has leaked the information for me

purpose.

“This isn’t Nightshade Clan’s way of doing things. Something se fishy about this whole thing. I’ll keep investigating this matter. Y don’t have to think so much about it.”

Suzanne felt slightly better when she heard Natthan’s lengthy explanation. The fact that an ordinary person like her dared to approach him was already suspicious, to begin withlilt was only normal for him to suspect her.

Suzanne was silent for a short while beforereplying softly, “Thank you for not arresting me.”

Now that the official matter was wrapped up, Nathan decided to switch to a private topic. “I’ve sent Sally back to Hooffis Manor. I’m sorry about the time when I accidentally hurt you AAre you still planning on staying in Sudvilla?”

Instead of facing Nathan, Suzanne decided to keep hibeb back on him. Her expression had already crumbled a long time ago and her eyes were still brimming with tears. She didn’t have to look in a mirror to

know how awful her mood was.

No, she said.

Wherere will you be staying, then?”

Whererever my feet bring me. I’ll leave it to fate.”

“Thank you,” she murmured.d

She no longer dared to linger for a second longer for fear that she might let a sob escape from her lips. Hence, she hastily strode away in wide steps.

The path before Suzanne was exceedingly long and winded. Every

time she took a step, she couldn’t help but think about how lost she was in life at the moment.

She had no idea what to do now.
