NovelEnglishSusan’s smile faltered as she heard this, then she let go of the necklace pendant.
There was a sudden ache in her chest.
Susan had assumed that Victor personally picked the necklace himself.
She clenched the pendant again unconsciously.
She felt a tiny discomfort in her hand as the edges of the pendant brushed into her palm, but it was nothing compared to the pain that was spreading through her heart.
Victor even admitted it so honestly.
“Really?” Susan grumbled bitterly as she forced a smile.
Knock, knock, knock.

Susan cleared her throat and quickly regained her composure.
She was ready to turn around to open the door when the person on the other side pushed it open first.
“Oh.
Did I disturb you two?” Carson stepped in with a smile.
Susan’s cheeks were flushed with humiliation.
She eased off fast and said, “I I’m leaving now.”
Susan rushed out of the lounge as
soon as she was done speaking.
She passed by Carson, and on noticing her, he asked, “Miss Salazar, You weren’t planning to stay for long, were you?”
“Not really.” Susan looked Carson in the eye after a little hesitation.
It made her feel guilty in sway.
She felt that
Carson had seen through her thoughts.

Victor a very cursory look.
He then proceeded to taunt him.
“Ivan toldthat you were planning on flying to Baltimore today.”

“Could you be up to something at the moment?”
“I was quite busy, but you texted saying that I should pick up
Rachel.
I deserve a recompense, Mr.

Besides, Victor was going to announce to the public that his engagement to Susan was canceled.
He would have left but he was very eager to get the recompense from
Victor.
Victor’s temples were pounding severely as he looked at Carson, his head up.
