The Wrong Woman Chapter 66
Nathan managed to rein in his emotions before looking at Suzanne again. His gaze landed on the exposed area above her collar. When Suzanne leaned forward toward him, she didn’t notice that her collar had loosened. Her chest could be seen peeking through the gap of her clothes.Nathan shifted his gaze away, his lips parting as his breaths quickened. He felt odd. This foreign feeling was new to him, but he wanted more. He prided himself on his control, but now even that seemed like a joke."Is that all?" Nathan’s voice had turned low and husky."Yes, that’s all," Suzanne replied.Nathan reached out and gently pushed Suzanne back to her seat. He attempted to change the topic, but Suzanne’s eyes were just so beautiful. Her skin was flawless and her lips were lovely.His face burned. As he eyed her lips, his Adam’s apple bobbed. Even swallowing did nothing for the heat in his cheeks. He wondered if he was going crazy. Was he actually lusting over Suzanne?He mulled over this; he

Suzanne hastily picked up her book again. Her face burned as her gaze flitted around the room. Despite that, she still couldn’t stop herself from stealing glances at Nathan’s body.She hid her face behind her book. For the first time, her voice cracked. "W-why didn’t you put some clothes on first?"Nathan dried his hair with another towel. Once he was done, he walked over to her. "I’d have to take them off again after that. That’s too much trouble," he said with a husky voice.Suzanne understood what he meant, and she was taken aback by this. Her innocent eyes met his dark ones, but she quickly averted her gaze."Why do you have to sleep naked?" she asked, nervous.Surprised, Nathan fell silent. He looked at Suzanne’s clueless, shy expression.Oliver had said that she was faking her amnesia. So was she feigning her lack of knowledge and inexperience as well?As Nathan mulled over his thoughts, Suzanne hastily pointed at the closet. "There are some clean clothes inside that c

Early in the morning, someone knocked on the door.Nathan stirred awake and glanced at the peacefully sleeping Suzanne. Hurriedly, he lifted the covers and got out of bed. He then headed toward the door."General..." Cole was about to greet Nathan, but the latter looked serious as he made a slow and hushed gesture with his finger, indicating to Cole not to make any noise.Cole was taken aback, wondering when Nathan became so considerate.Nathan looked back at Suzanne to ensure she wasn't disturbed, before slowly walking out and gently closing the door behind him.Once again, Cole was dumbfounded, unable to process this attentive side of Nathan.After closing the door, Nathan lowered his voice and said, "It's so early. What's the matter?"Cole thought to himself that it was already past seven in the morning—wasn't that considered late? Nathan was usually up by seven for morning exercises.However, he kept his questions to himself and quickly got to the point. "General Morrison

"Our plan was simple. We wanted to conduct research on this chemical and develop the greatest bio-weapon in the whole world, gaining global acknowledgment, that's all," Alan said. "But we never imagined that this thing would be worth five billion dollars per bottle, desired by virtually every country. It has turned into our death warrant."He continued, "George lost his life because of this. Similarly, I almost got killed by bandits yesterday. I don't want it anymore; you can take it."While listening to Alan's words, Nathan fell into deep thought. He still couldn't believe that the person known as "Winkler" turned out to be a young girl.Cole, on the other hand, was busy listening and recording Alan's statements. After Alan was done speaking, Cole continued his barrage of questions. "Where is Mila from?""Sunterland.""How old is she?""I'm not sure. But I heard from George that she developed the first batch of hydronium when she was only 19, and the chemical is named after

Alan nodded. "Yes. But I'm unable to understand its principles at all. Without Mila, this thing is worthless."Nathan glanced at Alan and observed him closely. After a while, he stood up with the bottle in hand and said to Cole, "Let him name a price. I'm buying this thing."Then, Nathan promptly left the room.Alan panicked, quickly standing up and shaking his head. "No need. You don't need to pay me."However, Nathan was long gone. Cole approached Alan, saying seriously, "This thing is valued at five billion dollars per bottle. As long as it doesn't exceed that price, you can name any amount you like."Alan was stunned, finding it hard to believe that he could name any price below five billion dollars. After his retirement, his family had been facing financial difficulties, and his wife needed money for medical treatment. Life was tough, so he thought of selling this thing after boarding the ship.It had never crossed his mind that he would get billions of dollars. Even if he

Nathan responded calmly, "I'll have to trouble you to take her home. She caused a huge scene at the military base last time, and now the researchers in the research department hold deep grudges against her. I can't handle it."Upon hearing this, Sally rushed over to him and huffed, "Nate, I don't want to go home. I also want to watch the drills."Nathan's attitude was firm as he commanded, "Go home with your uncle. Don't let your grandparents worry."Having said that, he led Suzanne toward the heavily armed military convoy.Sally watched Suzanne and Nathan leave with the convoy in a grand procession, a look of discontent on her face. She bit her lip and clenched her fists. Unknowingly, a fierce glint crossed her eyes.Wendy awkwardly smiled. "Well, um... Sally, let's take your uncle's car back."Ignoring Wendy, Sally forced out through gritted teeth, "Oliver, drive me to the military headquarters."However, Oliver's attitude was extremely indifferent. "I have to work tomorrow;
The Wrong Woman Chapter 72
Suzanne knew he was pointing out that Sally was chasing after them.Thinking of the affectionate moments between Nathan and Sally at the military base, along with Nathan's care and concern for Sally, extreme discomfort pierced her heart.Suzanne lowered her head and chose not to say another word.Nathan gazed at her melancholic profile, and his deep eyes became somber while his eyebrows slightly furrowed.A sense of uneasiness lingered within him as he wondered if she was that unwilling to be with him, and whether she was thinking about Oliver.After a brief internal struggle, Nathan couldn't bear seeing her distressed any longer. He asked at last, "Where would you like to get off?"Suzanne bit her lip and a wave of sadness surged in her as she realized that in the end, he was letting her get out of the car."Anywhere is fine," she muttered.In the front passenger seat, Cole hurriedly chimed in, "Madam, we're on the highway; we can't stop the car."Lucas, who was driving atten

At the frontiers was the Norvanian military headquarters.The convoy gradually entered the heavily fortified weapons production base, stopping in front of a luxurious skyscraper.Suzanne had not been here before. After getting out of the vehicle, she followed Nathan into the building, taking the elevator directly to the top floor.In the spacious conference room, dozens of individuals in various uniforms stood in a line and bowed as they greeted Nathan, "General Morrison."Suzanne was surprised to see that among these men and women, some were in white lab coats, some in military combat uniforms, and others in technical research attire. Additionally, many of the rest wore uniforms she couldn't recognize. Presumably, leaders from all the military departments were present.Nathan, with his usual stern and cold demeanor, took his seat at the head of the table.Lucas ushered Suzanne to the lounge next to the conference room and served her coffee. "Madam, General Morrison has an urge
