CEO Broke Down and Cried After I Divorced Him
Chapter 0024

Chapter 0024

Anne's words were theant to further drive a wedge between Dylan and Suzy, but to her surprise, Dylan didn't engage.

He simply said, "It's late. Finish your strawberries and get some rest."

Anne was speechless.

He'd changed.

In the past, when she brought things like this up, he never reacted so indifferently.

Now, he

Her gaze shifted, and Anne set down the strawberries, grabbing his hand. “Mr. Dylan, once you replace Suzy, let's not see each other anymore With the poison in my body, I don't know how much time I have left. When you replace her, the two of you should live happily together. After all, your grandmother and Diana both like her...”

Dylan's voice cut through her words sharply. "Who told you that Suzy and I were getting. divorced?"

"Huh?"

Anne hadn't expected him to ask that, especially after so many days had passed. She froze, trying to remember, and then it hit her she had bragged about it to Diana that day.

Anne lowered her gaze, fiddling nervously with her fingers like a child caught doing something wrong. “L..... I overheard your conversation with Desmond by accident, that's how I found out.

She looked up, her face full of grievance. "The only reason I told Diana was because she started yelling at me when I called you. She called me shameless, said I was purposely trying to ruin things between you and Suzy. But we were together first! It was Suzy who went out of her way to win over your grandmother and then took you away from me.

"She said so much, making it seem like everything was my fault. I was so upset that I blurted out the news about you and Suzy getting divorced. I regretted it afterward. Your grandmother's health isn't good, and If she found out about the divorce, she'd be furious. But Mr. Dylan, I swear I didn't mean to.”

As she spoke, tears started streaming down her face again.

Seeing her like this, what could Dylan say? He could only reply, "Get some sleep."

The Image of her earlier dramatic attempt at self-harm still lingered in his mind.

If he pressed her any further, who knew what she might do next?

It had been a long day, and he was exhausted.

Anne didn't say another word, quickly lying down. She had

ely managed to talk her way

out of this situation and dared not push her luck.

But just as she settled in, Dylan stood up.

Afraid he might be heading back to Bayview Heights, Anne quickly asked, “Mr. Dylan,

where are you going?"

"...To the office."

"At this hour?"

Dylan calmly put on his jacket, only looking at her once it was on. "Overtime."

With that, he turned to leave.

"Mr. Dylan..." Anne called after him, "Tomorrow morning, I'd really love some croissants. from Briarwood Café. Could you bring me some?"

Dylan paused for a moment before replying, "Alright."

Sensing his impatience, Anne didn't dare say anything else and let him leave.

As soon as he walked out, she quickly grabbed her phone to check for messages.

There was nothing.

She dialed the number twice and got no answer.

"Damn it, always failing me at crucial moments.

She called two more times, but still no response.

Anne tried to calm herself. "Dylan never lies to me. If he said he's going to the office, then that's where he's headed. Even if Suzy's at Bayview Heights, there's no way they'll cross paths."

Yes, that was it.

After all, she had blocked Suzy's number, and from the sound of her voice, it seemed like

she was drunk,

By the time she sobered up, she probably wouldn't want to see Dylan either-otherwise, why would she have stayed hidden for so long?

She decided to give Dylan a call later to make sure bo

arrived at the office.

Dylan had been on his way to the office, but then he remembered the man locked in the basement at Bayview Heights, who hadn't been fed all day.

The mastermind behind the scheme still hadn't been exposed, and the man might still prove useful

Dylan quickly spun the car around and drove straight back to Bayview Heights.

Seeing the front door wide open, his first thought was that the man had escaped, or perhaps an accomplice had broken him out. He rushed to check the security footage.

When the screen showed Suzy casually walking in and heading upstairs, the first emotion that flickered in Dylan's eyes wasn't anger but a brief, unacknowledged flicker of joy.

Without wasting another moment, he hurried upstairs.
