“I’ll drop you off at home first then head to Seet Group.
“You still wanna ask your brother?”
“Of course. We can’t just listen to that woman’s one-sided story.”
Sensing the determination in Davin, Sheila pursed her lips and didn’t speak anymore.
Although she knew that Susan wasn’t as simple as she looked, she found it hard to believe that she would make up such a huge lie.
Imperial Garden.
Nicole was surprised when Susan came to visit.
Susan smiled faintly and placed the gift she brought with her on the table.
“I should’ve visited earlier seeing as Nina was injured. Unfortunately, I’ve been feeling sick and nauseous these few days, so I couldn’t come earlier. I feel much better today, so I immediately came over. Evan has also been nagging me to come.”
As Nicole looked at Susan’s delicate and frail look, she couldn’t help but fear that she would be exhausted from standing and talking too much.
She had never seen such a weak woman like her who could barely stand on her own two feet.
“Nina’s not home. She’s gone to school. We’re not lacking anything here at Imperial Garden either. So please take your things and go back.”
No matter how many times Nicole reminded herself to stay calm, she couldn’t do it while facing Evan’s woman.
Seeing the discomfort on Nicole’s face, Susan walked closer to her and asked in a pitiful voice, “Ms. Lane, can we talk?”
“Just say whatever it is you wanna say. I’m in a hurry.”
“Ms. Lane, I won’t take up a lot of your time. Can we go upstairs?”
Nicole couldn’t figure out what Susan was up to. After looking at her for a moment, she couldn’t help but feel that the woman had ulterior motives.
“If you have something to say, just say it here.”
“Ms. Lane, let’s go upstairs. I have something to show you.”
With that, she walked upstairs as if she owned the place.
Watching her back as Susan headed upstairs, Nicole’s heart felt extremely uneasy. If the woman weren’t pregnant, she would have immediately dragged her out!
She followed her upstairs and went into the bedroom. Susan automatically shut the door behind her.
She turned around and looked at Nicole with tearful eyes. Then, she extended her arms and rolled up her sleeves.
Nicole was taken aback when she saw her arms.
She had expected to see fair and smooth skin, but her skin was covered with hideous scars instead.
“Your arms?” Nicole’s brows furrowed as she looked at Susan with confusion.
“These are burn scars left from when I saved Evan back then.”
Susan’s eyes misted over when she explained the origin of her scars.
“Do you think Evan’s love for me is without reason? No! I’m his savior. Not just my arms, but my body and face were also burnt by the fire.”
“Do you know how many times I had to go under the knife to look like this? Do you know how much pain I suffered?”
Susan looked at the silent Nicole and arched her lips into a smile. “Of course you don’t. Because I’m the only one who has gone through this kind of excruciating pain!”
“My face has recovered now, but what about my heart?”
“Do you know how much pain my heart was in when I went through all of this? I felt like I was dying! The scars left on my heart will never heal!”
She raised her head to look at Nicole with tears in her eyes. “Don’t you think I deserve to be spoiled by Evan after suffering so much for him?”
By then, Nicole was so shocked that she couldn’t formulate a sentence.
She had no idea that Susan and Evan had this kind of history between them.
All of a sudden, she understood why Evan had chosen to abandon her and marry Susan when she had lost her memories. This was probably the biggest reason for his actions.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?”
Seeing Nicole’s lack of reaction, Susan became slightly anxious.
“Ms. Lane, I hope you understand that Evan and I are fated to be together. We will never separate from each other, so…”
“Aren’t the two of you already together? Why are you still telling me all this?”
Nicole cut Susan off mid-sentence and asked in return, “Or is it because deep down, you know that you’re using this incident to be with Evan, and that there are no feelings between the two of you. You’re afraid of losing him and you see me as a threat, so you came to Imperial Garden just to tell me all of this?”
