Chapter 232

Another fine day dawned the next morning. Nathan was in the kitchen making breakfast. While
Suzanne was sitting on the living room
couch, scrolling through her phone.
Suddenly, her phone rang. The caller ID showed an unknown number.
Suzanne answered the call. “Hello.”
Loretta’s voice came through on the other end of the line. “Ms. York, do you remember me, the old
lady?”
After a few seconds of stunned silence, Suzanne looked nervously toward the kitchen and lowered her
voice. “Madam Hoffis, is there
something wrong?”
“I just wanted to ask if you and Nate had finalized your divorce.”
“Madam Hoffis, I’m sorry, but we have decided not to get a divorce,” Suzanne explained gently.
The other end fell silent. Sensing Loretta’s anger, Suzanne clarified, The main reason is that Nate won’t
agree to the divorce. I want to try to work things out with him again.”
“Nate won’t agree to the divorce? Is this a joke?” scoffed Loretta.
“Madam Hoffis, I’m truly sorry. I will not bring up the divorce with him again.”
“You are the most shameless and conniving woman I’ve ever met! Do you realize that you’ve forcibly
separated a couple who have been deeply in love for years?”
Suzanne bore it in silence and said nothing.
“Let me tell you again. Nate loves my granddaughter very much. He’s
been loving Sally for at least 20 years!
“You, a woman from the slums who has had a lot of plastic surgery, do you think you can replace my
granddaughter? Are you even fit?” Loretta snapped.
Suzanne couldn’t stand it any longer. She covered her mouth as she stressed every word. “Madam
Hoffis, I understand the love you have for your granddaughter, but I’ve got to tell you something..
“First of all, I haven’t had any plastic surgery. This is how I look. I consider myself lucky if my
appearance matches Nathan’s preferences.
“Second, it’s Nathan who refuses to get a divorce. He’s a Norvanian military general of high rank, and
marriage laws protect his interests. I can’t get a divorce unless he agrees.
“Third, I don’t even deserve to be compared to Sally when it comes to conniving. Don’t buy me off with
your money. My husband is well-off enough.
“Fourth, we will not meet again.” Having said that, Suzanne ended the call in a huff. She felt an instant
relief after venting her feelings.
She put the phone down and was get up from the couch when the phone rang. It was Loretta’s number
again.
Suzanne closed her eyes and breathed deeply before answering. She tried to keep her voice calm as
she asked, “Wasn’t I clear enough?”
“You shameless woman! How dare you hang up on me?” Loretta’s angry voice rose to a pitch that
made Suzanne’s ears hurt.
Suzanne slowly moved the phone away from her ear. She could still hear Loretta cursing at her.
“And you dared to call my granddaughter conniving? Don’t you know yourself? You still dare to claim
that you haven’t had plastic surgery.
“I’ve been investigating you for a long time, and I know your
background. Do you even deserve to compete with Sally for a man? Just wait. I’ll make you pay for
this!”
Suzanne was just about to reply when the phone was suddenly
snatched away from her. When she regained her senses, she saw Nathan frowning as he spoke into
the phone, “Madam Hoffis, things
are not as you think. Please don’t act rashly.”
“Nate, tell me. What is Sally lacking compared to that insolent. woman?” Loretta demanded in an angry
tone.
