Chapter 197 Yana gazed steadily at Susan. The message she had received from the police was vague, stating only that Timothy had died from falling off a cliff But why would Timothy, of all people, be at the edge of a cliff? And why would he fall? No one could provide her with answers.
She was tormented day and night, wracked with pain Today, however, she suddenly saw things clearly When Timothy had left, he said he was going on a business trip.
But what business did he have in such a small town? Without a doubt, Timothy had gone to find Susan Thus, the cause of his death was something only Susan would know.
Perhaps even...
His death was caused by Susan! Yana didn’t know where to find Susan. She just wanted to try her luck at Storm Group To her surprise, as soon as she arrived, she ran into Susan Perhaps it was Timothy's spirit in heaven, wanting her to seek justice for him “Susan, why are you not speaking?” Yana slowly approached, “Timothy died mysteriously Dare you say his death has nothing to do with you?” Susan pursed her lips and grasped Yana's arm, ‘Yana, let's talk over there” “Talk over there?” Yana scoffed, “Why? is what you're going to say next unsuitable for others to hear?” Susan ignored her sarcasm and firmly pulled her arm Yana attempted to struggle, but after several days in a daze, she had no strength left and simply let Susan guide her to a side seating area “Here, drink swater first, Susan offered her a cup 1/6 0g Chapter 197 Yana’s expression was cold, “Susan, | don’t need your fake kindness. | just want the truth. Tell me, does Timothy's death have anything to do with you?” Susan pursed her lips.
To claim that Timothy's death had nothing to do with her would be a falsehood..
She didn’t want to deceive Yana and was at a loss for words.
“His death really is related to you!” Yana’s voice shook, “Susan, was it you? Did you harm Timothy?” “I didn’t,” Susan said quickly, On this point, her conscience was clear.
“Not you? Then it was Ben! Ben harmed Timothy, right?” Yana’s eyes reddened with distress.
Susan quickly shook her head, “Timothy's death has nothing to do with either of us.” Yana stared at her intensely. “Then tell me, did he see you before he died?” Susan hesitated.
“I want the truth!” Yana clutched her stomach.
Her emotional outburst had stirred the child within her.
Susan frowned, “Yana, try to stay calm. You're pregnant, and if...” “Enough,” Yana cut her off, her gaze stubborn, “I don’t want to hear any of that. Susan, answer my question. Did you see him before he died?” Susan's mouth opened slightly.
Yana enunciated each word sharply, “I want the truth.” In her eyes, there was a hint of terrifying madness.
Susan was silent for a moment, then slowly said, “Yes, | saw him before he died.” A tragic smile crept onto Yana'’s lips, “So he really went to find you! Susan, you're so capable. | might have deceived him into being with me, but his heart was always with you. You already had Ben, why did you have to compete withfor Timothy?” Susan furrowed her brow, “I wasn’t competing with you.” She believed that ever since Timothy started being with Yana, she never entertained the idea of any entanglement 2/6 Chapter 197 with him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhenever Timothy sought her out afterwards, she made her position crystal clear, leaving no room for ambiguity.
Accused of competing with Yana for Timothy? That was a charge Susan wouldn't accept.
“You didn’t compete?” Yana murmured, her voice taking on a strange tone, “That's right. The man | schemed to have, you didn’t need to compete for. He’d cwagging his tall to you like a devoted dog. Susan, tell me, even if | was wrong, | married him, I'm carrying his child. | gave my heart, why didn’t he reciprocate with sincerity?” Yana’'s voice grew increasingly somber and eerie.
Susan sensed something amiss and couldn't help but say, “Yana, you...” Yana looked up at her with a ghostly gaze, “What, you pity me? Want to comfort me? | don’t need it.” Susan frowned and said, “I'm not trying to comfort you. I'm just trying to advise you to consider the child in your womb. If you truly cared for Timothy, your child is his only bloodline. For his sake, you need to stabilize your emotions and at the very least, ensure the child is born healthy and safe.” Yana scoffed coldly and said indifferently, “Susan, sparethe pretense. Timothy simply loved you. Even if you didn’t return his feelings, you didn’t have to take his life. Remember, if anything happens to this child, it's because you caused his father’s death, and you, too, will have harmed him.” Hate saturated Yana’s voice.
Susan was momentarily taken aback, then said, “I've told you, | didn’t kill Timothy.” “Then tell me, why would he suddenly fall off a cliff?” Yana demanded.
Why would he jump off a cliff? Susan looked at Yana’s haggard appearance.
She hesitated.
She could easily reveal the truth.
But could Yana accept such a truth? Could Susan tell her that Timothy had kidnapped her, wanting to leave everything behind, including Yana and the child? Now, Yana was holding on by a thread.
3/6 Chapter 197 But if she learned the reality...
Would she still be able to hold on? Susan pursed her lips.
She and Yana were sisters, but they could hardly be considered close.
In fact, it wouldn't be an overstatement to say there was enmity between them.
But Yana was carrying a child.
Given Yana’s particular condition, if something happened to the baby, and she began to bleed uncontrollably, she likely wouldn't survive either.
One truth could potentially cost two lives.
To speak, or not to speak? “What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?” A trace of scorn flickered in Yana’s eyes.
Susan pursed her lips and spoke calmly, “All | can say is that I've never harmed Timothy. As to his death, my conscience is clear.” “A clear conscience,” Yana suddenly burst into laughter.
But as she laughed, tears began to stream down her face.
Susan, finding it hard to watch, softened her tone, “Yana, the dead can’t be brought back to life. Go hand rest.” “Alright, I'll go hand rest,” Yana stood up, vigorously wiping her tears away.
Susan exhaled slightly in relief, “Letwalk you out.” Yana gave Susan a blank look, not refusing the offer.
Susan then walked her to the company’s entrance.
“Susan.” At the door, Yana suddenly halted.
“Yes?” Susan responded.
Yana suddenly smiled at her, “Actually, Timothy really liked you a lot.” Susan frowned, unsure how to respond to that remark.
“So...” Yana leaned closer to Susan, her voice dropping to a whisper.
4/6 5/6 Chapter 197 In an attempt to hear Yana clearly, Susan listened intently.
“So... would you join him in death?” Yana asked softly.
“What?” A flicker of shock crossed Susan's eyes.
But before she could react, Yana’s hand produced a sharp dagger.
With a sinister expression, she forcefully thrust the dagger towards Susan's chest! They were too close, and Yana’s action was too sudden for Susan to react.
Just as the dagger was about to pierce Susan’s heart, a tremendous force suddenly pulled Susan away.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn the next instant, Susan found herself in a warm embrace.
Dazedly looking up, she saw Ben's calm face.
He smiled gently at seeing Susan, then ruffled her hair, “Don’t be afraid.” Don’t be afraid? Susan's entire body began to tremble.
Where's the dagger? Yana’s dagger, where did it go? “Ben?” Yana sneered, “Perfect, you can go down and join Timothy.” Yana tried to continue her attack.
The security guards had already rushed over and quickly subdued her.
der pay “Let go of me, letgo!” Yana shrieked, “Murder pays with life, it’s only just. They killed Timothy, they should go down and join him.” The security swiftly gagged Yana.
She continued to whimper but could no longer speak.
“Letsee your back,” Susan wanted to move behind Ben.
‘Just a small wound, don’t look,” Ben held her back.
“Ben!” Susan, annoyed, grabbed his hand, “Stop it, letsee now!” 7 Chapter 197 Ben remained silent, just smiling at Susan.
“What are you smiling at!” Susan was even more imitated.
Ben asked, “Susan, have you remembered everything?” Susan paused for a moment, then quickly nodded, and said, “But that’s not important right now, letjust...” “Then... have you forgiven me?” Ben looked at Susan with a somewhat pitiful expression, “Are we still getting a divorce?” Susan was nearly driven mad by his questions.
At such a time, he was still asking such silly questions? “| forgive you, we're not divorcing,” said Susan.
Medical staff arrived, ready to bandage Ben's wound.
But he stopped them, still gazing at Susan, “Really?” “Really, really,” Susan was becoming frantic, “Can’t you wait until after you've been bandaged to talk? Quick, cand bandage him up.” “Alright, as you say,” Ben finally showed a relaxed smile.
The medical staff hurried forward.
Ben gave Susan a smile but then collapsed straight toward her.
Susan was pinned to the ground by his weight.
Her hand touched Ben's back, then looking up, she saw it covered in blood.
Susan’s mind went entirely blank!
