CEO Broke Down and Cried After I Divorced Him

Chapter 0073

Originally, she'd gone to give Suzy a hard time, only to end up taking a beating herself- Anne was seething with rage.

What infuriated her even more was that on the drive back, she muttered, "Mr. Dylan, Suzy has changed. She used to be so soft-spoken and gentle, but now she's terrifying. Sometimes I wonder if that kindness she showed before was just an act?"

Dylan gave her a dark, unreadable look and replied coolly, "If she scares you that much, maybe you shouldn't have provoked her.”

Anne was speechless.

What kind of response was that?

She was the one who'd been wronged! The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, though she held her tongue. Dylan's trust in her had only just been restored; it was best to tread lightly.

She fumed in silence the whole ride home. The moment she arrived, her first move was to start throwing and smashing anything within reach.

Downstairs, Helena was startled awake from her afternoon nap and, upon seeing Anne in a fury, quickly hurried over to calm her. “Sweetheart, what happened now?”

“What happened?” Anne picked up an antique vase and shattered it against the floor. “It's that wretched Suzy, of course! I finally convinced Dylan to take me to her under the guise of an apology, just to show her that despite everything, I could still win back his trust with ease. But instead...”

The memory of Suzy kicking and punching her in front of Dylan only made her more irate. She stormed around the living room, smashing anything she could get her hands on until finally, her temper subsided a little.

"Mom, something's off with Dylan!"

Helena poured her a glass of water. "What do you mean?”

"When Suzy attacked me, he didn't stop her..." Anne hesitated, unwilling to admit her. suspicion.

“Maybe I'm overthinking it. Suzy's with Claude now; Dylan has to show some respect. He didn't interfere because he was in a rush to get back to his sick grandmother. It couldn't be

aren't I?"

"Of course," Helena quickly agreed, "Dylan loves only you. Suzy could never measure up She spent three years trying and couldn't win his heart, especially now that they're

divorced."

Anne found this quite satisfying.

"Exactly! If Dylan truly felt something for her, he wouldn't still be treating her the same. way he always has. But even so, I won't let that woman off the hook. Mom, the person you contacted for the Scarlet Vell last time–

I haven't been able to reach them lately. Do you have any other way to get in touch?”—

A hint of unease flickered in Helena's eyes. "No, I don't."

“Really?” Anne replied, disappointment coloring her voice. “I was hoping they could whip up a poison and finally get rid of Suzy once and for all!"

Helena pressed her lips together. "There are plenty of ways to deal with Suzy,"

"You mean...?"

"The Harlows and our family have business dealings, and with Claude currently in charge, opportunities are bound to come up. In three days, the Wright Corporation is hosting a bidding gala for their new project. I'll make sure we settle old and new scores for you that night.”

Helena's smile was as sly as it was malicious. "Your priority right now isn't Suzy. It's getting in good graces with that old woman. Isn't she unwell go with you to pay her a

visit later.

At this, Anne's barely subdued anger flared up again. “I already suggested visiting her on the way back, but Dylan wouldn't allow it."

Helena laughed lightly. “And if he says no, does that mean you won't go?”

Anne considered it for a moment. "I should go. Who knows, I might even run into that wretched Suzy there. That old woman is so fond of her-I can't believe she wouldn't come to visit."

Helena nodded. "Perfect. Let's pay her a little visit ourselves."

At the Wright family estate, in the study.

When Dylan got the call from security about unexpected visitors, his usually calm gaze flickered, like a stone tossed into still water, sending faint ripples across its surface.
