Chapter 163

Suzanne had been lost in her book for quite some time when she got a craving for some fruits.
She headed downstairs, and the moment she entered the living room, she caught Sally expressing her
complaints to everyone around.
Sally appeared sad like she had been treated unfairly and bullied. “I don’t blame Nate. He must have
his reasons.
“She’s been talking behind my back, spreading false rumors about me, and making Nate think poorly of
me. That’s why he doesn’t like me anymore!
“She knows how to control men, and Nate must have fallen for it. It’s fine if I get hurt, but I worry
Suzanne will hurt Nate. She’s crafty and can manipulate men like it’s a game
“I’m truly afraid Nate might end up getting hurt!”
Florence looked concerned and said, “I don’t think so. Nate isn’t t
easily fooled. How could he be deceived by a woman?”
“Why not? Don’t you think he’s changed?” Sally asked.
Gary pondered for a moment before replying, “Yes, he has changed. He spends more time at home
now, not just buried in work.”
“He talks more and even helps around the house now,” Taylor added.
Tobias joined in, “He’s friendlier, not as distant as before.”
With a smile, Wendy said, “Aren’t those good changes? I don’t see anything wrong with Nathan.”
Sally looked at everyone in disbelief. She hadn’t anticipated everyone reaching such a positive verdict.
“But-” Sally tried to say more, yet her voice abruptly stopped as she noticed Suzanne approaching
slowly. Sally looked at her with a guilty expression.
After greeting everyone, Suzanne calmly faced Sally and remarked, ” Ms. Hoffis, I could have exposed
your wrongdoing, but I decided not to shame you. Why are you trying to cause problems in my family?”
Sally tried to stay composed and spoke in a soft tone, “Suzanne, I didn’t cause any problems. I was just
having a conversation with’ everyone.”
Layla gave Suzanne a disapproving look and sneered, “We already know what Sally is like. There’s no
need for your involvement here.” Sensing the tension, Florence swiftly shifted the topic. “We were just
having a casual chat. No one said anything negative or tried to cause trouble.
“Suzanne, are you hungry? I can ask the housekeeper to whip up some dessert for you.”
Suzanne had reached her limit of putting up with everything. “Layl don’t want to stir up problems, but
some people constantly twist th truth, create conflicts, and wrongly blame others. I’ve forgiven her
multiple times, but she never changes.”
Sally quickly teared up and expressed her distress, “I didn’t do that, Suzanne! Why are you accusing
me unfairly?”
Suzanne scoffed, “Are you still faking it? On Grandma’s birthday,
Nathan sent a set of jewelry and an evening gown.
“You came to my place, ruined the gown by splashing dye on it, and spoiled the birthday gift I had
prepared for Grandma.”
Taylor and Wendy couldn’t believe what they just heard. They stared at Sally with wide eyes.
“Oh no! That’s terrible!” Wendy whispered with surprise.
Sally tightened her fists as tears rolled down her cheeks. “You’re spreading lies about me.”
Suzanne’s eyes sparked with anger as she remembered the bad things Sally did to her. “You went as
far as slapping yourself on purpose, making Nathan think I hit you. That’s why I got kicked out of
Sudvilla.
“Once, when I was injured, you brought me food, but then you
purposely dropped it on the floor and pretended to fall. You made it seem like I mistreated you in front
of Nathan.
“And remember that time in the military base dormitory? You
intentionally fell down the stairs and falsely accused me of pushing
you.
“You’re tricky and deceitful. Just because I can’t outsmart you doesn’t mean I’ll tolerate you forever.
Everyone in the room stared at Sally in astonishment, their faces showing a blend of disbelief, disgust,
and disdain.
Sally rose to her feet, shaking with anger. She tightened her fist and cried out, “I didn’t do it! You’re
spreading lies about me! You’re the one who’s good at spreading lies.
“Just like what you did to ruin my relationship with Nate. Are you now trying to make everyone in the
family hate me?”
