Chapter 80 Is She Worth It for You to Do This?
Marian looked up and met Evan’s indifferent gaze. She knew that the man was angry.
She took a deep breath and said indifferently, “I’m sorry, Mr. Hughes, but I’m telling the truth. Suzy’s existence will only affect your revenge.”
“Marian, you’ve crossed the line. It’s none of your business,” Evan said flatly.
Marian stood up and said reluctantly, “Mr. Hughes, we are friends. I’m doing this for your own good. Have you ever thought about it? What will happen when you start to take revenge on the Carters family and they find out that your weakness is Suzy?”
Evan didn’t seem to care at all. He said flatly, “It’s just the Carters family.”
Indeed, it was effortless for Evan to deal with the Carters family now.
“What about the Smith family? What will Mr. Old Smith do if he finds out you’ve fallen in love with another woman? Back then, you signed a contract. If you break off the engagement, you must give the Hughes Group to the Smith family!”
Evan fell silent.
“All these years, you’ve worked hard for the Hughes Group. Are you going to do this for Suzy… Is she worth it?”
“She’s worth it,” Evan replied.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Mr. Hughes…”
Evan interrupted Marian. “This is my own business. Don’t look for Suzy in the future.”
Marian’s heart was filled with dissatisfaction. She was about to say something when Evan’s voice rang out again.
“Get out.”
Marian gritted her teeth and looked at the man at his desk. She had wanted to invite him to lunch, but now… she left the office in the end.
When she arrived at the entrance of Hughes Group, Marian’s phone rang. It was Ervin.
When she picked up the phone, the other party asked, “Marian, where are you? Shall we have dinner together?”
Marian looked annoyed. She wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, she agreed.
“Where are you? I’ll go find you.”
When they arrived at the restaurant near Ervin’s Hospital, Marian’s mind was full of Evan and Suzy. She didn’t even notice Ervin sitting down opposite her.
“What are you thinking about?”
Marian came to her senses and smiled lightly. “It’s nothing.”
Ervin picked up the menu and ordered many of her favorite dishes.
“How long are you going to stay? Did Evan assign you another task?”
“Not for the time being.”
Ervin glanced at her. He was a psychologist and could tell at a glance that something was on Marian’s mind.
“You have something on your mind?”
Hearing that, Marian took a sip of water. She paused for two seconds and then said slowly, “I’m thinking about the matter between Suzy and Mr. Hughes. Do you think that woman has ulterior motives for getting close to Mr. Hughes?”
“No way… She is very good to Mr. Hughes. She took a shot for Evan before.”
Marian frowned slightly and said unhappily, “What about in the future? Mr. Hughes will deal with the Carters family head-on in the future. Although Suzy has broken off her relationship with the Carters family, they are still her parents who have raised her for 20 years. Will she betray Mr. Hughes then?”
“It won’t happen. You overthink. You don’t know how many things the Carters family has done to Suzy. Suzy will never choose to betray Mr. Hughes to help them.”
Marian’s face was still full of doubt when she heard that.
“Don’t worry about it. The Carters couples poisoned Suzy with Fluid-K. With how malicious they are, how could Suzy possibly forgive them?”
“Fluid-K?” Marian was stunned.
Suzy didn’t know that she had been targeted by Marian again. She came to CIRA this morning to design clothes for Evan and Cherry.
It was not until the afternoon that Suzy came to Starlight Pictures.
Janet and Nina were inside the office, staring at Suzy with envy.
“A necklace worth 100 million dollars! I admire it.”
“Mr. Hughes is amazing.”
Nina handed the phone to Suzy. “The pictures of you arriving at CIRA this afternoon were taken by reporters. They’ve already spread online.”
When Suzy received it, they were already trending topics. At this moment, the netizens were guessing who the person behind Suzy was. Some envied her, while others cursed her.
“One hundred million dollars. The person must be an older man.”
“That’s right. The former Lady of the Carters family had a sugar daddy for money. It’s so disgusting.”
Suzy stared at these comments for a few seconds.
Janet immediately said, “Miss Carters, don’t be influenced by them. These anti-fans are all jealous of you.”
Suzy smiled faintly.
At this moment, the phone next to her rang. It was an unknown number.
She paused for two seconds, then picked up the phone. A male voice came from the other end.
“Hello, is this Miss Carters?”
Suzy: “Yes, that’s right. May I ask who this is?”
“I’m Henric Smith.”
Hearing this, Suzy paused for a moment. Henric? She had heard of this name before. He was the fifth young master of the Smith family, a designer of a genius sports car.
Why was this person looking for her?
Just as she was wondering, Henric spoke on the other end of the line. “I heard that Azurain is at your place. I want to give it to my niece. I’ll pay you twice as much for her. What do you think?”
Double equaled 200 million. Suzy lowered her head and glanced at the Azurain on her neck.
“Sorry, it’s not for sale.”
Henric gritted his teeth. “Three times!”
“Not for sale.”
Seeing that Suzy didn’t give him a face, Henric was slightly angry. “Don’t be ungrateful! Sell the necklace to me as a friend. If you want to cooperate with the Smith family in the future, you can come to me. I’ll fix it for you!”
If it wasn’t because he wrongly remembered the auction day, how could the necklace have fallen into Suzy’s hands?! He wouldn’t need to call her to beg for help, but Suzy was adamant on the other end.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Smith, but this necklace was given to me by someone I like. I won’t sell it no matter what.”
“You… You are great. Our Smith family will never have any contact with Starlight Pictures!” Henric threatened.
Suzy hung up the phone directly. Who wanted to contact you?
“Who is it? Miss Carters?” asked Janet.
“Someone from the Smith family wants to buy this necklace for three times the price and give it to that Miss Smith!”
Nina exclaimed with shock. “Triple! That’s 300 million. The Smith family is really generous to this lady!”
It was indeed generous. If it weren’t for the fact that it was a gift from Evan, Suzy would have sold it.
She smiled and didn’t say anything more.
Right at this moment, Nina’s cell phone rang. After hanging up, she said to Suzy, “Miss Carters, Mrs. Carters, and Teresa are here.”
Hearing this, Suzy paused for a moment. In the past few days, the members of the Carters family had not appeared. Now that they had suddenly come, Suzy guessed the reason and said casually, “Let them come up.”
When she arrived at the office door, Mrs. Carters’s face was hideous. When she saw Suzy, she rushed forward and wanted to hit her but was stopped by Janet.
“Suzy, are you aware that your Alex’s legs are crippled?”
The Carters family didn’t pay much attention to Alex’s disappearance. Even today, they couldn’t contact him. They vaguely felt that something was wrong. After searching for a while, they finally found the dying Alex in the basement.
He had been saved, but the doctor told them that Alex’s leg was disabled.
Suzy smiled. “Oh, that’s great news!”
“You… you… you are really ruthless!”
Mrs. Carters’s eyes were filled with tears. At this moment, she wished she could kill Suzy.
