Chapter 32

Sally was starting to panic. She was afraid that her actions had given Vera an aneurysm. It would be
difficult for her to deal with the
consequences if that were to happen.
But another thought soon popped into her mind. If Vera were to die, then there was no reason for
Nathan and Suzanne to stay married. They’d definitely get a divorce at that time.
With that thought in mind, Sally instantly relaxed. Vera’s death would prove to be beneficial to her.
It was a long and lonely night. The yellow lights in the VIP ward were dim. The atmosphere was deathly
silent, too.
Suzanne sat next to Vera’s bed while holding her frail, skinny hand. Her teary eyes were glued to
Vera’s peaceful sleeping expression.
Her heart throbbed in pain from time to time. She could only wish fervently for Vera to be fine and that
she would regain consciousness
soon.
Suzanne still remembered the time when she first woke up in hospital. Her mind was completely blank,
but her body was with injuries.
There were a bunch of strangers standing around her. Those peo had claimed to be her parents, older
brother, relatives, and friends. police officer was also there to take her statement just so he could
determine her actual identity.
However, Suzanne soon realized that her so-called friends and family didn’t care about her health at
all. They were all there just to demand

money from her.
Apparently, she had stolen five million dollars from her dead ex- husband and got violently beaten up
as a result. That was how she lost her memories.
Since there wasn’t enough substantial evidence to pin her as the culprit, the police decided not to
arrest her. That was how she escaped from the fate of getting locked behind bars.
Suzanne had hired a private detective to investigate her own background. It seemed that she had
grown up in a toxic household.
Her parents didn’t love her, and her brother most certainly didn’t care about her. At a tender age,
Suzanne was already working odd jobs just to survive. She constantly dabbled on the shady side, to
say the
least.
After Suzanne lost her memories, she found it close to impossible to see the good in humanity. She
had no idea what to do in life.
That was until she met Vera.
Vera had a heart of gold and treated her like she was her actual granddaughter. Not only did she
showered Suzanne with love and care, but she was also extremely nice to her.
Suzanne spent the next three years serving as Vera’s caregiver. To her, those were the three happiest
years she had ever lived in her
entire life.
She had grown to treat Vera like her own family. And she couldn’t
bear the thought of losing her.
More tears rolled down Suzanne’s pale cheeks as she recalled the past. Time slowly ticked by.

After Nathan took Vera to the hospital and waited for her condition to stabilize, he wasted no time in
driving back to Sudvilla.
It was 3:00 am when he flung Sally’s room door open and stormed inside angrily. There, he dragged
Sally out of bed forcibly.
Poor Sally was shocked, to say the least. Before she could register what happened, she felt herself
getting dragged out of the room. She had no choice but to stumble alongside Nathan.
“Nate, what are you doing? It’s the middle of the night right now! Where are you taking me?”
Nathan’s expression remained cold. He opted not to respond to Sally
at all.
Soon, Sally was dragged out of the villa and pushed onto the front passenger seat of Nathan’s car. He
made sure to buckle her seatbelt
for her.
Sally pouted in frustration, looking like she was about to cry. She stared at Nathan through her tears as
she exclaimed, “What’s wrong, Nate? Why do you look so angry? I’m still in my pajamas, you know!
Where the hell are you taking me?”
Nathan got into the driver’s seat wordlessly and started the car, cruising away from Sudvilla.
Half an hour later, Nathan stopped the car outside Hoffis Manor. He got out and walked around the
front of the car to get to Sally’s door. After that, he dragged Sally out of the car and deposited her at the
front door.
Sally sobbed while asking, “Why did you take me home, Nate?”
A dark glint crossed Nathan’s eyes as he warned in a stern tone, Listen up, Sally. I’ve never told you
that I loved you, be it now or then. Don’t be so full of yourself and take advantage of my kindness.

toward you.
“Also, Suzanne and I are legally married. According to the law, she’s entitled to half of my assets.
Sudvilla is her home, not yours. You
have no right to claim Sudvilla as your own and take over it.”
