Chapter 119

Wasn’t Nathan afraid Sally would get upset for using such an intimate nickname for Suzanne?
Suzanne closed her eyes and choked out, “Can you come back sometime soon?”
Nathan hesitated. “Sally is…”
Suzanne cut him off. “It’s fine then. You can send someone back home instead. I just need to pass you
something.”
Nathan asked curiously, “What thing?”
Suzanne paused for a few seconds. She heaved a long exhale before saying slowly, “Divorce papers.”
Nathan immediately grew silent. Anyone could see how depressing and tense the atmosphere was
over the call.
Suzanne’s heart felt heavy. Breathing became difficult.
Nathan’s voice rang out after a long while. “I’ll be back right away.”
Was he so eager to sign their divorce papers?
“Okay,” Suzanne said with all her strength. She then hung up the call.
She leaned back in her chair and slowly closed her eyes. Her phone
fell to the floor from her hand with a clack.
Suzanne felt weak all over. Her headache was getting unbearable.
In the end, the tears she held back for so long still quietly fell down
her cheeks.
After getting off the call, Nathan walked back into the living room. from the balcony and said, “Mr. Hoffis
Senior, I need to go back home now. Something happened.”
Sally quickly set down the fruit in her hand and ran over to hold ontol Nathan’s arm. She began crying
again. “You can’t go, Nate… Don’t leave me…”
Zach stood up angrily. “Let go, Sally. Nate has already kept you company for days now! Can’t you be
more sensible? He has a family
and career to work on!”
Loretta was upset seeing Sally so sad. “Bring Sally with you, Nate. She’ll be able to calm down more by
your side.”
“What nonsense is this, woman?” Zach snapped.
“I don’t care. I want Nate… I don’t wanna live without him,” Sally
sobbed, not letting go of Nathan.
Nathan took a deep breath and pried her hands away. He shot the two private doctors stern looks and
instructed, “Restrain Sally if she tries to kill herself. Put her on an IV drip if she refuses to eat or drink
“Sedate her if she throws a tantrum. Keep an eye on her no matter
what.”
Sally was stunned. The two doctors were just as shocked.
Nathan’s expression grew menacing as he growled out, “Understand
me?”
The doctors flinched and quickly nodded. “Yes, Mr. Nathan. We understand.”
Nathan then shoved Sally towards the doctors and left.
Sally struggled in their arms and ran after him.
Zach was immensely angry now. He snapped, “Stay right here, Sally Hoffis. If you run after Nathan
right now, I’m going to cut ties with you!
When Sally ran out the door, Nathan had already left in his car.
She returned to the living room and whined, “Why didn’t you help me, Grandpa? I’m your only
grandchild, yet you let Nate leave!”
Zach groaned, head pounding painfully as he stared at his silly granddaughter and stubborn wife. He
really didn’t know what to do
anymore.
Oliver watched all this from the stairwell upstairs, chuckling silently. He couldn’t help but respect Sally
for her act.
She wasn’t knowledgeable nor talented, but she sure was experienced in scheming.
