The Wrong Woman

Suzanne lay on the side of the bed where Nathan had slept last night. She closed her eyes, reminiscing all that had happened with him last night.

Suzanne ate instant noodles for lunch. When the doorbell rang, she set her fork down and went to open the door.

Cole was standing outside with some vases of flowers around him. He handed Suzanne some cash and said respectfully, “Good afternoon, Madam. Here’s the money from the flowers.”

Suzanne stared at the money and asked curiously, “Wasn’t there a thunderstorm last night? How did it all sell out?”

“General Morrison had me go sell them at the workers’ dormitories.”

Suzanne recalled Nathan’s phone call last night and smiled. She happily accepted the cash. “Thank you.”

Cole then said, “General Morrison also asked me to drive you home

Madam.”

Suzanne was taken aback.

With Sally in mind, she didn’t want to step into Sudvilla again.

After some thought, Suzanne asked “Does Nathan want me to return to Sudvilla?”

“Yes, Madam. But he respects your decision. If you choose not to go. back, you can rent a larger house to live in.”

Suzanne hesitated for some time before saying, “Let’s go back, but not to Sudvilla.”

Cole was surprised. “Where then, Madam?”

“Morrison Residence,” Suzanne said firmly.

If Nathan was willing to try things out with her, she would definitely do the same with him. She was going to stay at Morrison Residence and spend some time getting his family’s approval.

Suzanne packed her things up and left the house. She then followed

Cole back to the Morrison Residence.

A battle was awaiting her. But for Nathan’s sake, she was no longer going to retreat.

When Suzanne stepped into Morrison Residence, she thought they would look down on her and criticize her like they used to.

But it was quite the opposite. Wendy, who looked down on her the most, was incredibly enthusiastic to see her. It was clear she was trying to suck up to Suzanne.

“Are you coming back to stay, Suzanne?”.

Suzanne replied politely, “Yes, Wendy. I hope we can get along well

All Wendy saw when she looked at Suzanne was money. Wendy w opportunistic by nature. Now that she knew Suzanne was a famou artist who could create artworks worth millions, she couldn’t wait t

kiss up to her.

“You don’t have to be so polite. Edgar, hurry and clean up Mrs.

Morrison’s room.”

Suzanne smiled politely and went upstairs with her things.

Dim light flickered in the humid, dark storage room, revealing two figures standing in the corner.

A man’s voice asked, “How is the Foghunt?”

“Still ongoing,” a delicate woman’s voice answered.

The man chastised, “You’ve had two years of training and one year of searching. Have you been fucking around all this while?”

“Sir, Nathan Morrison is on the lookout too. Once he has any news

about them, I’ll be able to reach them before he does.”

“Isn’t that woman you swapped with just some ordinary heiress? How did she end up being some secret charity artist?” the man asked.

“I was shocked too. I didn’t expect her to be so famous.”

“Kill her if she gets in your way.”

“It’ll be difficult. She’s Nathan’s wife right now.”

The man turned and slapped the woman right in the face. The noise echoed throughout the room. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

The woman fell onto the floor from the force but quickly got back up to her feet again.

“You useless piece of shit! We spent a ton of resources to help y steal this heiress’ identity just so you could get close to Nathan. Morrison. But you kept her alive, and now she’s a liability! You still haven’t managed to marry Nathan. Instead, she became his wife,” th man growled.

“I’ll kill her as soon as possible and marry Nathan Morrison, sir. That way, I’ll get more confidential information about Norvania and

complete Project Foghunt.”

“That engineer, the only person who knew our target’s identity, is now dead. No one in this world knows what they look like now nor whether they’re male or female,” the man quipped. “It’s like searching for a needle in a haystack.”

The woman replied, “Don’t worry, sir. I’ll definitely complete my mission. I won’t let you down.”
