Chapter 222 Susan Compromised
In the ward, Susan was weeping and choking with sobs badly on Manuel's shoulders. How she wished Manuel could compromise! How she wished Manuel was the same as before and would listen to her in every way.
She had no idea why Manuel suddenly changed, just like Harrison. But Harrison still loved and cared the most about her no matter how much she had changed.
But why Manuel had become so monstrous and hard-hearted?
"You've always born with me and given me everything since we were little. You've never forced me to do anything against my will. It's all my call." Susan felt so bad and said, "I'm telling you that I'll take you as my real brother from now on. Please stop loving me. Please drop it and forget. me. Can you please just let me go and marry Henry."
1 can bear with you in anything else, but not this. It's not negotiable." Manuel answered in a very unfamiliar voice.
What exactly had happened to have made Manuel so ruthless?
Susan raised her head from his neck and kept weeping, tears dripping down to his cheeks.
"Manuel, what's the point of marrying a woman who doesn't love you?" she asked.
"I don't care, as long as I love her."
"What do you see in me? I'll change. OK?" Apparently, Susan freaked out.
She was bad-tempered. She wasn't pretty, and she was good at nothing. So, she didn't know why Manuel would love her. She even thought no one would fall for with a woman like her. What was wrong with Manuel? What the hell did he see in her?
Her body? A sexy body that could fulfill a man's sexual desire?
If yes, she could also turn herself into a fatty.
Manuel didn't answer her question. It seemed that whatever Susan had said wouldn't work. He simply wouldn't listen to her or act as she wished
again.
Susan got off Manuel and stood up. Manuel seemed to sigh with relief then.
Susan lowered her head and put on the clothes that she's taken off.
Putting on her clothes, she said, "Manuel, I don't know why you do this. I don't know why you insist on marrying me, and I don't know what I can say or do to let you change your mind. But just so you know, I'm damn sure you won't be happy after marrying me. I swear it!"
She almost shouted out the last few words.
Manuel remained silent and bore with her rage quietly. In fact, he knew clearly that Susan hated him. At first, she just said she hated him but didn't really mean it, but now she did hate his guts. Then Susan got out of Manuel's room.
Her father was in the next-door room. She stood at the door but decided to open it. She knew it clearly that everything would be settled once she went in. She could do nothing to stop it. Since all of them wanted her to marry Manuel, she would let them know it was a huge mistake.
In the room, Justine was sitting next to Edward, and her eyes were red with tears. Susan couldn't tell whether Justine had been too sad because of Manuel or her father, Edward. All in all, she looked ten years older within one day.
Justine was a little surprised to see her then. So was Edward. He thought Susan wouldn't come visit him.
"Don't piss your father up. The doctor said..."
"I'll do as you wished" Susan interrupted abruptly.
Both Justine and Edward were stunned to hear that.
"Go to Manuel's room. We'll talk about the conditions." Susan said coldly, "Call the lawyer to come over, too."
"Are you serious?" asked Justine.
Susan smiled coldly and said, "After all, I won't be the one to suffer the most in the marriage."
It meant that she would make Manuel suffer even more.
Susan got out of the room first, then she gritted her teeth and went in Manuel's room once again. Manuel looked at her and got confused, since he never thought she would come back to him. But she said nothing this time, and just sat on the couch, as if she was waiting for someone.
As expected, Edward came in the room with the help of Justine shortly. They also sat down on the couch and didn't say a word until Jack, the private lawyer of Phillips family, arrived.
Manuel had guessed what Susan was gonna do.
"Jack, please mark whatever I'm gonna say. I'll legalize all of them later." Susan went straight to the point.
"OK." Jack said immediately.
Until then, Susan said bluntly, "I agree to marry Manuel."
Hearing it, everyone chose to be silent, Manuel included.
"But I've got five conditions." said Susan, "First, you two should get a divorce."
Fine. We've signed the divorce agreement. We just need to bring it to the divorce registration office and it'll take effect."
"I mean, you'll divorce my dad and give up on all the shared possessions." Susan interrupted her coldly, "Frankly speaking, you just can't take a penny from Phillips family."
"OK." Justine said without hesitation.
"I have to see your divorce certificate within today."
"OK." Justine agreed instantly.
"Second, after the divorce, you can't live in the manor of Phillips family again and you aren't allowed to be in touch with my father any more."
Justine seemed to hesitate a little but still nodded and said, "OK."
"Third, Manuel and I will move out and live on our own after we get married. Neither of you can meddle with our life or push us to have children. I'll never carry Manuel's child in my life!" "Susan..." Justine looked a little unhappy.
She could take any revenge from Susan, but couldn't bear to see Susan hurt Manuel in that way.
"OK." Manuel agreed.
Susan seemed to have thrown her eyes on Manuel but by no means would she be touched. She wouldn't be touched by this man any more.
"Fourth, I broke up with Henry, so I must pay him break-up fee to make it up to him." said Susan.
Hearing it, Edward was about to say something but Manuel simply interrupted, "Go ahead."
So, Edward had to bite his words back.
"Pay Henry 2000,0000 as a break-up fee. Buy the house that he's living in under his name." Henry was renting the house now. She'd thought of buying him a house back then but Henry turned it down. "You owe him."
"Fine." Manuel agreed without a second thought.
Susan laughed grimly. Well. After all, Manuel was spending the money of Phillips family. Of course he didn't care much about it.
"Fifth, the wedding will be scheduled on the date that I was supposed to marry Henry." It would be on Saturday.
It was better sooner than later. She didn't want to struggle any more, otherwise she would be driven crazy.
