The Wrong Woman Chapter 22
Suzanne closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She tried to swallow her distress, but it was just too painful to bear.Unbidden tears welled in her eyes.… The next morning, Suzanne got out of bed, freshened herself up, and walked out of her bedroom.She was startled when she saw the people sitting on the sofa in the living room—they were important people, whose discussion of important matters was interrupted by her appearance.They looked at her curiously.Nathan stood up and introduced her politely. "Mr. President, this is my wife, Suzanne."The president of Norvania, Donald Tacker, was a middle-aged man in his fifties. His eyes held a kind twinkle, which made him look friendly and amiable.Suzanne was taken aback by Nathan's easy introduction. Maybe he just didn't want to hide anything from the president.Nervously, she went up to Donald and lowered her head respectfully. "Good morning, Mr. President. Good morning, everyone.""Hello, Mrs. Morrison." Donald held out his h

As a bioweapon, hydronium was incredibly powerful. Anyone who owned a hydronium-based weapon was practically undefeatable.A combination of hydronium and ultrasonic waves could kill half the earth's population painlessly and unknowingly in under two hours. Every country wanted to get their hands on hydronium.Some countries were even offering to pay five billion dollars per gram of hydronium.The conversation in the living room died off. When Suzanne brought the tea out, she saw Nathan looking through the file about Project Foghunt. She walked over and placed the tray on the coffee table. Then, she knelt by the table and began serving the tea.With well-practiced motions, she set out the cups and saucers and poured the tea into the cups.Her movements were elegant. None of the others could bring themselves to interrupt her.Even Nathan couldn't help but look at her. He was distracted from his reading.Suzanne offered a cup of tea to Donald first. "Here you go, Mr. Presiden
The Wrong Woman Chapter 24
Suzanne picked up the bowl of burning sage and walked back to the villa."Madam."She turned.A man in a smart suit came up to her and gave her a polite nod as he handed her an envelope. "General Morrison told me to give you this."Suzanne took the letter. "What is it?" she asked curiously."I'm not sure," the man said. "The general said that he will be away for business for the next few days, so if there's anything you need, do let us know."Suzanne felt her heart clench when she heard that Nathan wouldn't be home for some time.She quickly pulled herself together and handed the bowl to the man. Then, she opened the envelope and pulled out a bank card.There was a note with the card, written in firm handwriting. "The password to the door and the card is 1516117. I will be away indefinitely for business in Sunterland."Suzanne folded up the note and placed it in her pocket. She couldn't stop running her fingers over the card as she stared at it. This belonged to Nathan.Her h

Suzanne was creeped out. "What do you want?"Sally smirked at her coldly. "Nathan is on his way home. Did you know that there are no surveillance cameras in this house apart from the doorway, since this is where he meets other countries' dignitaries?"A horrible feeling crept up Suzanne's back. Her hair seemed to stand on end when she saw Sally's terrifying expression.Before she could react, Sally rushed over to the bookshelf and swept all the books to the ground haphazardly. Then, she slapped herself hard several times until there was a red mark in the shape of a hand on her face.Suzanne watched all this in shock. She was frightened by her actions.She'd known about Sally's underhanded tricks before this, but she really hadn't expected that Sally would be willing to hurt herself just to frame her.Nathan loved Sally with all his heart. He wouldn't believe Suzanne's explanation, especially since her reputation was already ruined.There was no way out of this.While gritting h

Nathan's expression darkened when he heard what Suzanne said. He gave her a cold glare.Suzanne was frightened. She was afraid that he would kill her out of anger, but she couldn't just let herself get framed like this. She wanted to fight for a chance to explain herself, even if it meant her death.Whether Nathan believed her or not was not important. She knew she couldn't change his perception of Sally no matter what she did.Nathan fell silent.He could see the fierce determination in Suzanne's eyes. She had looked just like that when he'd saved her in Technive, and when she had beaten up her own brother in the casino.The teary yet determined look reminded him a lot of how Sally had been when she was young. She was always determined to get over whatever difficulty she had been facing at the time.Dazed by the illusion, he felt his heart lurch in sympathy.After saying all that, Suzanne wiped her tears away with the back of her hand. The wounds on her palms were red and bleed

Vera patted Suzanne on the head fondly and smiled. "Your husband is here."Suzanne paused, and her face paled.Vera pointed toward the house. "He's in there."Suzanne turned to look in a panic. Was he here to get revenge on behalf of his beloved Sally? Or was he here to divorce her?"You slept here last night," Vera said in a low voice. "I think he missed you, so he's here to take you home."Suzanne forced out a smile and tried not to let her bitterness show.Vera didn't know about the fiasco that was their relationship. She thought that they were a loving couple.Under Vera's instruction, Suzanne helped her back to the mansion. As soon as they entered, Nathan came out of his room.Vera beamed. "Come here, Nate, come.""Grandma." Nathan approached them and greeted Vera.He was in casual clothing. His black shirt accentuated his dignified presence.Suzanne couldn't help the twinge of attraction she felt toward him, despite her loathing. She didn't want to see him or speak t
The Wrong Woman Chapter 28
That evening, Suzanne, Nathan, and Vera had dinner together. The table was silent as they ate.Suddenly, Nathan's phone rang and disrupted the peace.He took out his phone, glanced at the screen, and frowned.Sally was video-calling him.It wasn't appropriate to pick up her call with Suzanne and Vera at the table. Moreover, he still hadn't had time to deal with Sally over what happened yesterday.Without hesitation, he rejected Sally's call and texted her instead. "I'm busy. I'll call you when I'm free."With that, he placed his phone back on the table and continued earring.Vera glanced at him. "Have you been very busy lately?""A little.""With work, or with personal matters?" She pointed at his phone."It's not an important call," Nathan explained.Right after he said that, Sally called again.Suzanne knew without doubt that it was Sally calling. She continued eating quietly, but her mood was ruined.Nathan glanced at her before rejecting the call again.Embarrassed th

Suzanne smiled stiffly. "He's not," she said. She was defending Nathan."Then who is that woman?"Suzanne hesitated. Vera was sick. She wouldn't do well with bad news.Using Nathan's words, she said, "She's just a child who doesn't know what she's talking about."Nathan was taken aback. He hadn't expected her to come to his defense even though she had been framed and hurt badly.She hadn't done what Sally had done—slandered and hurt the other woman.Under Suzanne's reassurance, Vera did not continue to push the issue.After dinner, the three of them retreated to the pergola in the garden for leisure.It was a misty night. The quiet garden was filled with the sounds of crickets chirping and frogs croaking.The relaxing fragrance of the tea added to the peace.Vera was in a good mood, as she was being accompanied by her grandson and her granddaughter-in-law.Just then, one of the servants came over and said, "Madam, there's a lady by the name of Ms. Hoffis asking to see you an

Jasper became concerned as Imogen placed her hand over her heart. He asked, "Are you experiencing any chest pains? Have you consulted a doctor? I can take you for a check-up."Imogen reassured him, gently holding his arm. "Jasper, I'm fine. I'm just trying to figure out how to balance my future family and career."Jasper smiled knowingly, gently patting her head before pulling her into an embrace. He recognized her uniqueness—her drive to pursue her career and showcase her skills and talents. The thought of being a stay-at-home mother or merely a trophy wife held no appeal for her whatsoever.Holding her close, Jasper murmured, "Imogen, have you forgotten about your husband's financial prowess?"Imogen couldn't suppress a chuckle.Jasper reassured her of his commitment, "As long as you're on board, I can arrange a driver to drive you to work, an assistant to handle all your tasks, and you won't have to worry about anything. When you return home, there will be maids and me to ens

After returning from her journey across the globe, Imogen headed straight to the hospital. During her travels, she started noticing subtle changes in her body—nausea, fatigue, and a stronger need for rest. Her hunch was confirmed when tests revealed she was pregnant.She felt a blend of anticipation and apprehension. The idea of being pregnant raised thoughts of focusing on family life and raising children. Yet, she valued her career and was steadily demonstrating her skills. She wasn't ready to give it up just yet.When Imogen arrived home and stepped through the front door, she found Gregory and Carol were there. They had just returned from their trip as well, bringing back gifts. "Hi, Mom, Dad," Imogen greeted them.Still excited about their travels, Gregory and Carol eagerly recounted their adventures to Jasper.When Jasper heard Imogen's voice, he quickly stood and walked over to her, taking her hand. "Imogen, I woke up early and didn't see you around. Where did you go?"

Jasper thought the idea was brilliant and agreed, "Let's plan our route and leave next week."Imogen gently pushed him back, her hands on his chest. "Sure, but let me get up first. We'll map out our journey, set a schedule, and go on a trip for our wedding."Jasper took her wrists and lifted them above the pillow. "Let's discuss this tomorrow. I have some pressing matters to attend to at the moment."Imogen was about to respond when Jasper leaned in and kissed her deeply. Their lips intertwined with passion.…A week later, Imogen received another call from Yulia's lawyer, who conveyed Yulia's apologies and expressed her desire for Imogen's forgiveness. Yulia also requested Imogen to intervene with Nathan on her behalf.Imogen decided to ignore the request. She believed in the fairness of the law. It reminded her of Zoey, who had fraudulently claimed her degree and ended up in prison at Jasper's behest.As for Yulia, she had orchestrated attacks on Gregory, caused Carol to lose

Imogen's heart raced as she slowly hugged Jasper, her voice bashful yet resolute. "Jasper, you'll always have a place in my heart."Jasper tensed slightly, his senses on high alert. He met her eyes. A glint of anticipation sparked in his gaze as he eagerly murmured, "Say it one more time. Say it—""I love you, Jasper," Imogen said gently.Jasper's eyes immediately filled with tears as he held Imogen tightly, his body shaking. Overwhelmed by emotion, he could only whisper her name into her ear. "Imogen… Imogen…""Do you love me?" Imogen asked, her voice tinged with shyness.Jasper frowned. "I do love you. Haven't you always known?""I still want to hear it," Imogen said."I love you. I love you with all my heart," Jasper declared, gazing at her with intense passion and unwavering resolve.Feeling a bit stiff from his tight hug, Imogen gently pushed him away. "I love you, too, but I must get up and go to work.""Not today," Jasper responded, scooping and carrying her back to bed

"If it's a gift, why not accept it?" Mila whispered.Gregory quickly took the check, looking unsure of his next move.Once his money was accepted, Oakley assumed the issue was settled. He took Yulia's hand and began to leave the ward, saying, "Well, I'll leave with Yulia for now."Still feeling resentful, Yulia glanced back and shot Imogen a glare as they departed.The ward fell silent. Feeling uneasy, Gregory and Carol exchanged anxious glances."Nate, we can't go easy on them," Mila whispered.Nathan smiled knowingly. He took Mila's hand, gently caressed it, and said quietly, "Don't worry. I'll ensure our in-laws get the justice they deserve."Mila nodded, feeling reassured. Gregory and Carol, who were listening nearby, felt deeply moved and grateful.Since Gregory was injured and confined to bed, the meeting between Jasper's and Imogen's parents ended earlier than expected. After saying goodbye to their parents, Jasper and Imogen headed home. On their way home, Jasper felt

Yulia was renowned for her boldness and strong-willed nature. Aware of Oakley's wealth, influence, and dual reputation in legal and illicit circles, she feared no one and held a contemptuous attitude toward others, including senior military figures."You need to apologize to Ms. Imogen immediately," Oakley whispered urgently.Pointing at Imogen, Yulia muttered irritably, "Her? Oh, please! If anyone owes an apology, it's her to me."Oakley wiped his forehead nervously, trembling with anxiety. Everyone's expressions around them darkened visibly. Jasper suppressed his anger; his hands clenched into fists.Before he could speak, Yulia grumbled, "Jay, you blocked me before understanding everything, and then you terminated our contract. That's just too much."Mila couldn't shake her worry for Jasper. If he couldn't manage his relationship with Yulia appropriately, it could severely impact his marriage. Concerned that he might not handle it well, Mila intervened. "Ms. Gibson, please resp

Carol no longer believed the portrayal of wealthy women on television.Jasper took Imogen's hand, and they sat down on the couch together, feeling anxious. It was their parents' first meeting, and the hospital setting added to the tension. If things went wrong and their relationship soured, their future would look bleak.Imogen was particularly anxious. Her palms were growing clammy. Jasper pulled out a tissue and gently wiped her palms before reassuringly saying, "There's no need to be nervous. My parents are easygoing."Offering an awkward smile, Imogen teased him, whispering, "You seem more nervous than I am, don't you think?"Jasper chuckled but offered no reply. Dealing with Gregory and Carol was sure to be a bit daunting.Typically reserved around strangers, Nathan found it difficult to start a conversation at that moment. Meanwhile, Gregory and Carol felt apprehensive and cautious, worried that any misstep could upset the Morrisons and cause problems for Imogen.Sensing th

Mila approached them with a bouquet, smiling. "Yes, we're in the right place. We've come to visit you, our in-laws."The term "in-laws" caught Gregory off guard as he lay in the bed. Despite his injuries, he quickly propped himself up, struggling to sit upright. Carol, equally surprised, cautiously accepted the gift from Nathan's outstretched hands.Jasper and Imogen took the next elevator, so they hadn't reached the ward yet.Nathan quickly set his things down and hurried over, gently placing a reassuring hand on Gregory's shoulder. "You're injured. Don't get up. Just lie down and rest.""General Morrison, I…" Gregory's voice faltered in distress.Carol's hands trembled uncontrollably as she glanced nervously at Mila, worried that Mila and Nathan had overheard her argument with Gregory.Nathan spoke in a gentle tone, "Please, don't call me General Morrison. It sounds too formal. You both are older than me. Just call me Nathan, and I'll call you two by name in return."Mila came

In the hospital ward, Gregory had been asleep for over an hour when the nurse woke him to change his medication.After the change, Carol peeled an orange for him to eat. They shared the segments, chatting idly."Imogen really picked a good husband. Even these oranges he bought are unusually sweet," Carol said, marveling at the oranges. Gregory glanced at the orange and said, "They must be expensive.""Yes, they're sold by the piece in big supermarkets. Also, they're more expensive than beef and lamb," Carol said before eating another sweet segment.Gregory pondered for a moment. Then he curiously asked, "Someone ruined our house's floor. Do you think Jasper would help us repair it?"Carol shot him a look and replied, "Listen, don't burden Imogen with this. Don't even bring it up.""Why would it burden Imogen? With Jasper's wealth, this is nothing.""Enough," Carol snapped. "That's his business. No matter how poor we are, we shouldn't ask for what isn't ours." "You're too stu
