"If you didn't do it, then who else could it be?" Wendy countered, then sarcastically adding, "Besides, you used to be so fond of Nate."Wendy's words made Layla's expression turn even more unpleasant, and the hostile tension was gradually reaching its breaking point.Suppressing his emotions, Duke softly asked, "Layla, did you do it?""No." Layla's defiance escalated. "Even you don't believe me?"Duke raised his voice out of frustration, saying, "You were so afraid of the search teams showing up. Who else could it be but you?"Tears welled up in Layla's eyes as she screamed, "If you don't believe me, let's get a divorce!"Just then, Gary slammed his hand on the table, roaring, "That's enough!"The entire living room fell silent.Suzanne flinched at Gary's outburst, nervously looking at him.Gary took a deep breath before cautiously asking Nathan, "Nate, how should we handle this matter?"Nathan's demeanor was serious, and his gaze was unwavering as he looked at Gary. "Of cou

Nathan walked up to Suzanne, gently taking her hand. "Move out with me, okay?"Suzanne nodded repeatedly. Yes, of course she would. This house and the family members… She couldn't help but feel frightened at the thought of who might be the spy."Go upstairs and pack your things," Nathan said softly."Okay," Suzanne replied before rushing upstairs.Everyone sat in the living room with grim expressions, while the air was heavy with tension.Nathan picked up Suzzane's suitcase. After bidding farewell to everyone, they left the Morrison Residence.Once they were in the car, Suzanne asked curiously, "Where are we going?"Nathan leaned back in his seat, his gaze tender as he looked at her startled face. He asked cautiously, "Sudvilla. Is that alright?"Sudvilla?There had always been a knot in Suzanne's heart regarding that place. After all, it was the home Nathan had custom-built for Sally, tailored to her tastes in both decoration and style.But now, the circumstances didn't allo

Forty minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of Sudvilla. Suzanne followed Nathan out of the car and into the living room.They had just settled down when Cole hurried over, holding a dozen or so listening devices in his hands. His face was pale, filled with nervousness and anger. "General Morrison, take a look at this." Nathan frowned, looking at the pile of listening devices. His expression changed drastically, while his gaze turned even colder.Suzanne was also shocked, looking at Cole and then at Nathan, feeling lost and confused.The air suddenly became stern and serious.The search team conducted a thorough search including the garden and lawn to ensure there were no other bugs. After reporting to Nathan, they left promptly.Anxiously, Suzanne asked, "Who installed these?"Cole looked uneasy, shaking his head lightly, while Nathan smirked mysteriously, remaining silent.Previously, he and Donald had discussed matters here. Project Foghunt had been leaked, and he

Nathan's eyes betrayed a subtle hint of nervousness that was not easily perceptible. "I have some business to attend to in the study. You should come too."Suzanne watched him quietly. Underneath his calm and stern exterior, she sensed the clumsiness of someone inexperienced in matters of the heart.She walked to the bookshelf, casually selecting a book and holding it to her chest as she turned to face him.Nathan headed the study, with Suzanne following behind.In the study, he dealt with his work at the desk while Suzanne sat on the couch reading. Neither of them disturbed the other.The room was bright and warm, with a gentle breeze blowing in from the balcony, carrying with it a faint floral scent that was refreshing and soothing.The sunlight streamed in through the windows, creating a cozy and romantic atmosphere that was peaceful and delightful.During this time, Nathan couldn't help but look up at her from time to time, just like ten years ago. He couldn't focus on anyth

Suzanne was forced onto Nathan's strong thigh. Her body tensed up and she sank into a sea of nervousness. Nathan wrapped one arm around her waist. His other hand played with her long hair. His mesmerizing eyes added to the allure as he whispered in her ear, "Chubs, from now on, call me Nate or darling."The word "darling" struck Suzanne like a bolt of lightning. It left her both nervous and flustered. With a blush, she lowered her head and said quietly, "Can I call you Nate?""Yes," Nathan replied. His Adam's apple bobbed as he studied her profile intently. Suzanne nervously fidgeted with her fingers. "Nate, you don't have to force yourself to get close to me physically. Bonding happens one step at a time."Nathan moistened his dry lips. His slender fingers glided gently over her face, through her hair, and around her ears, which turned rosy. He cupped the back of her head and spoke in a seductive, low voice, "I'm not forcing myself."Suzanne closed her eyes nervously. Her brea

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 d
The Wrong Woman Chapter 233
Nathan's expression grew unusually grim. He glanced at Suzanne before him, then paced as he spoke firmly into the phone, "Madam Hoffis, Suzanne is my wife. Please watch your words."As Suzanne watched Nathan leave, she plopped down on the couch and flung a cushion in a huff. It was bad enough having to deal with Sally. Even her grandmother was being unreasonable to her. Suzanne assumed that rich people were used to being bossy.After hanging up, Nathan returned and set the phone down on the table. "Don't let any of her unkind words bother you."Suzanne glanced up at him. She had become immune to such words over the past three years. She used to get upset over them. Now, she didn't even care about those words because she knew she wasn't Suzanne. What mattered to her was Nathan's attitude."Are you standing up for Sally or Madam Hoffis?" Suzanne asked in a disgruntled tone.Nathan could sense her displeasure. After a moment's thought, he said, "Neither.""Madam Hoffis may look

"Is there no other way at all?" Nathan asked."There is a way. We can repair the damaged nerves through surgery and allow the memory to gradually recover. "But the risk is too great, and if something goes wrong, the patient could be left in a vegetative state. It's not worth the risk if her current condition doesn't affect her life," the doctor explained.Concerned, Suzanne asked, "Which doctor in our country is trusted to perform this surgery?"Before the doctor could answer, Nathan interrupted, "We're not doing it.""Why?" Suzanne turned to him. There was at least a chance that the surgery would restore her memory, despite the risks.Nathan held her hand and rose to thank the three neurologists. After that, he led Suzanne out of the hospital. Once in the car, they were both lost in thought as they gazed at the landscape outside with heavy hearts.They finally reached Sudvilla. Just as Suzanne was about to get out of the car, Nathan said gently, "Go home first. There is some

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
