Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Susan straightened her back.

The taxi just now was still waiting at the door.

Susan directly asked him to drive her to a hotel.

She rushed to the front desk to complete the formalities.

The girl at the front desk looked at Susan enviously. “Hey, look at you. You must be a very successful businesswoman, right?”

“Huh?” Susan raised her head in confusion.

The receptionist,continued, “With your style, it makes people feel that no matter how difficult things are, you can’t be defeated! You never cry, am I right?”

Susan smiled slightly, then took the room card and went to her room.

He closed the hotel door.

Susan leaned against the door, slightly stunned.

Did she look like someone who never cried?

Ben said that he didn’t like to see her cry.

Therefore, it seemed that she had not cried for a long time.

Susan walked to the bathroom numbly.

She looked up at herself in the mirror.

Then she was stunned again.

She raised her hand and slowly wiped the corners of her eyes.

It seemed to have been quite a long time since she last cried.

Why did her tears suddenly fall?

It was really… ridiculous.

What was there to cry about?

Wasn’t it just a divorce?

They had only been married for a few months. The sooner they get divorced, the better.

Susan tried her best to comfort herself.

However, her tears continued to fall silently.

She had been slandered by Isabella face to face before.

She only felt angry.

Charlie criticized her harshly.

She felt helpless.

But now, Ben didn’t blame her. He just calmly said that he would consider it for three days.

All of a sudden, she felt as if the world was falling apart.

She had never realised that she was such a loser.

In this world, there was not a single person who was willing to trust her wholeheartedly.

In the past, she didn’t think so. She felt that this was her fate and she would accept it.

However, Ben gave her hope.

It made her feel that the two of them were the same and could always trust each other.

But now, Ben had crushed her hope.

All of a sudden, Susan felt as if she had fallen into an abyss.

Outside, the weather was refreshing.

However, Susan closed the curtains and allowed herself to fall into darkness.

At the hospital.

“You have to be responsible for the follow–up of my mother, don’t you? I’ve told you in advance that we want the best environment and the best treatment!” Leo said.

Ben nodded expressionlessly.

Leo still wanted to say something.

Charlie waved his hand, feeling a headache coming on. “Enough. If you only know how to negotiate, you don’t want to accompany your mother at all. Get out of here!”

I “Grandpa, what are you talking about? It’s not that I don’t want to accompany my mother. I’m just fighting for her living condition,” Leo said.

“Get lost, get lost.” Charlie couldn’t be bothered to talk to him anymore.

Without pretending to be filial, Leo took the opportunity to say with a smile, “Then I’ll go out first.”

Before leaving, he did not forget to pull Isabella.

Isabella didn’t dare to face Penelope in the first place. She resisted for a while and followed her out.

“Isabella, are you really all right?” Leo looked at Isabella worriedly. “My brother has found the best physician. Why don’t we have another examination?”

Isabella’s heart skipped a beat and she quickly said, “There’s no need. You’re busy enough with mom’s matter. I’ve seen a physician myself. I’m fine. It’s just… just the child… It’s all my fault. I didn’t protect him well.”

Tears welled up Isabella’s eyes as she spoke.

“How can it be your fault?” Leo gnashed his teeth. “It’s all that bitch’s fault.”

Isabella just cried in a low voice.

Leo looked around and said in a low voice, “But we’ve suffered so much this time. Why do you have to pull me back and stop me from making more demands?”

Isabella sneered in her heart.

Leo was just a springboard for her.

Judging from Leo’s current attitude toward Penelope, Isabella knew that when his initial enthusiasm passed, she would come to no good end.

Her true target had always been Ben.

All she wanted was a divorce between Ben and Susan.

Only in this way would she have a chance to take over her spot.

In that case, how could she help Leo make conditions? Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

However, she couldn’t say that.

“Your condition is too outrageous, and Ben won’t agree to it. Furthermore, it’s Susan who did it, and it has nothing to do with him. Even if you spread the news and wanted to drag him down, Ben can still get away with it. He must divorce her so he wouldn’t get involved in all this. In fact, there’s no difference in our conditions. In the end, they will definitely divorce, and Ben will be the one to take care of himself. But if I take the initiative to put it forward, it would seem that the two of us are kind, and both Ben and grandpa will have to owe us a favor.” Isabella said in a gentle voice.

Leo thought for a moment and nodded. “That makes sense.”

“Of course.” Isabella’gently said: “I’m doing this for your sake.”

Leo sighed and pulled her into his arms. Then, he said in a low voice, “I know you’re good to me. It doesn’t matter if this child is gone. We’ll have more children in the future.”

As he spoke, he couldn’t help but wrap his arms around Isabella’s waist.

A trace of disgust flashed across her eyes.

She had to think of a way to get rid of Leo, that idiot, as soon as possible after she got rid

of Susan!

In the ward..

Charlie looked at the sleeping Penelope in silence.

Ben didn’t say anything and just accompanied him silently.

“Oh, Ben, Penelope has failed in her life as well,” Charlie said slowly.

Ben just listened.

Ben

“Your father passed away two years after marrying her. He didn’t really love her and didn’t leave her a penny in his will.” Charlie looked a little tired. “At that time, your brother hadn’t been born, and your father didn’t even know about his existence. Therefore, although he didn’t like you, he still left the inheritance to us.”

“Penelope is afraid that she won’t have a place to stay, so she has been carefully taking care of me in the following years.”

Charlie said slowly, “I know that her thoughts aren’t pure. But no matter how impure her thoughts are, Ben, they’ve become a little sincere over the past few decades.”

“I know.” Ben nodded.

Charlie looked at Ben and said, “I know that she has plotted too much in private, so I decisively helped you divide the family property this time. But Ben, she doesn’t deserve to

die.”

“I know.” Ben continued to nod.

Charlie’s hands trembled. “If… if it’s really Susan… What are you going to do?”

Ben lowered his gaze. “Grandpa, we haven’t figured it out yet.”

Charlie coughed and said, “I don’t want to believe that Susan is such a person, either. However, there are only three people in the room, two of whom are victims. Penelope is still in a coma and it’s hard to say whether she will live or die. Therefore, Penelope couldn’t have harmed herself. Isabella has no reason to sacrifice her child and Penelope in order to force you to divorce. Ben, I know you don’t want to face the truth, but the truth is right in front of you.”

Charlie also felt sorry for Ben.

It was not easy for him to meet a girl he liked.

It took him a lot of effort to start a new chapter of life.

However, if it was really Susan who did it, no matter what, Charlie would not allow her to continue to be with Ben.

It was not only because of Penelope, but also because it proved that Susan had a bad character.

If Ben fell in love with such a person, it would be better for them to split up as soon as possible.

“Grandpa, we’ll see in three days,” Ben didn’t argue with Charlie and just said directly. Charlie rubbed his aching temples and said, “It’s up to you. Three days, just three days.”

He lowered his eyes and stopped talking.

“Grandpa, go back and rest first. The best physicians and nurse are here to watch over them. They’ll be fine,” Ben said.

Charlie shook his head.

Ben said in a firm tone, “Grandpa, either I help you out or I’ll find someone to take you out by force.”

Charlie hadn’t slept all night, and he couldn’t stand it at all in his poor health.

“You…” Charlie glared at Ben.

Ben looked back at him unflinchingly.

Charlie said angrily, “All right, all right, I’ll go home. But I don’t want to see Susan for the time being. Let her stay in the room and not come out.”

“Susan will avoid you,” Ben said.

He did not intend to persuade Charlie to trust Susan now.

This would only make Charlie feel that he was covering up for her.

It would be better to let Charlie see the truth with his own eyes three days later.

In the current situation, he had to temporarily separate his grandfather from Susan.

Otherwise, he would feel distressed if Susan was wronged.

Charlie was angry, and he was also worried.

With that thought in mind, Ben helped Charlie out of the ward.

A nurse happened to enter the room. When she saw Ben, she said, “Mr. Landor, are you ready to leave? Mrs. Landor has been gone for a while. She didn’t look well when she left. Mr. Landor, please check on her.

They all knew that Ben doted on his wife, so the nurse said that to win a good impression

of Ben.

Ben suddenly changed his expression.

He suddenly looked at the nurse and asked, “What did you say? Susan was here?”

Charlie frowned as well. “We’ve never seen Susan here!”

Ben looked terrible, and the nurse trembled and hurriedly said, “She’s been here. Mrs. Landor couldn’t find the place, and I showed her the way myself.”

Ben looked even grimmer. “When did she leave?”

The nurse thought quickly, then said, “About half an hour ago.”

Half an hour ago.

Ben quickly calculated the time in his mind.

At that time.

What did Susan hear that caused her to leave with a pale expression?

Ben immediately had an answer in his heart.

His face instantly darkened.

Seeing Ben like this, Charlie sighed. “You can go first. Just ask the driver to send me

home.”

Ben nodded hurriedly, instructed the driver to get in, and then ran all the way out.

The nurse looked blankly at the back of Ben and asked Charlie uneasily, “Mr. Landor senior, what’s wrong? Did I say something wrong?”

Charlie shook his head and massaged his temples in distress.

This time, Ben was deeply in love.

He still didn’t know how to end this matter.

Charlie thought, “Susan oh, Susan, even if you were careless, how could you… do such a thing?

“Even if I wanted to convince myself to forgive you, I couldn’t.”
