Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 434

Even after hearing what Susan said, Ivan continued the countdown coldly.

"Eight minutes."

Susan clenched her teeth and scrambled to her feet.

Reaching her hand out to Victor, she started to plead, "You can’t do that, Victor.I’ve loved you for three years.I’ve also helped you! How can you be so cruel to me?"

"Seven minutes."

Ivan went on with the countdown, reminding Susan of what was at stake.

Susan felt tensed as if a time bomb was put above her head because of Ivan’s precise countdown.

When her phone on the bed rang again with Tammy’s name on the caller ID, it felt like a death warrant.

Susan lowered her head, glanced at her empty hands, and then tears streamed down her cheeks.

The continuous sharp ringing of her phone seemed like an assault to the silence of the ward.

Although Ivan was sure that Susan wouldn’t put her father’s life and the future of the Salazar family at risk over this, he was surprised that she still refused to tell them where Joey was after another two minutes.

"You only have five minutes left, Miss Salazar.I hope it is clear to you that even if you choose not to tell us anything now, we can still find out where Joey is.It’ll be just a matter of time.We can wait, but I’m afraid your father might not,"

Ivan warned her.

Susan raised her head and looked up at Ivan, her eyes livid with fury.

Ivan wasn’t fazed by her glare at all.

He looked Susan straight in the eyes and said expressionlessly, "Four minutes left, Miss Salazar.Where is Joey?"

Sitting on the bed, Susan’s phone kept ringing.

Ivan glanced at his phone to check the time again.He was about to say something when Susan cracked up a distinctive chuckle all of a sudden.

In the next second, she burst into laughter.Her eyes were red in anger, but her lips curved up into a wanton smile.

"Miss Salazar…" The frenzied smile on her lips confused Ivan.

"Yes, you’re right.Even if I don’t tell you, you will still find Joey."

Susan took a deep breath and smiled again, a sinister one this time.

"The Salazar family is nothing in your eyes.How can I bargain with you? I was doomed to fail right at the start, wasn’t I?"

Seeing the sudden change in Susan’s demeanor, Ivan had a bad feeling.

Wiping her tears, Susan reached for her phone and answered the call.

Before Tammy could speak on the other line, Susan said in a hoarse voice, "I’m sorry, Mom."

"What…"

Tammy was confused by Susan’s words.

When she was about to ask, the other line was already cut off.

Susan removed the SIM card from her phone and threw it into the trash can.She then turned to look daggers at Victor.

"I’ve loved you for three years, Victor! Three fucking years! I fell in love with you when I first saw you and I was willing to do anything for you! But what did you do? You trampled on my love and didn’t show even an ounce of mercy towards me! What did I do wrong? I’ve done so much for you, but in the end, you want to destroy my family!"

Even with tears all over her face, Susan’s frenzied smile didn’t wear off.

Waving her hands dismissively, she continued, "Yes, I took Joey away! I’ve hidden him! You are very powerful, right? Go ahead and look for him then! Find him if you can!"

When the ward fell into silence after Susan finished speaking, a chilly tension emerged all of a sudden.

"Susan Salazar!"

Victor’s cold voice boomed.

Susan almost jolted in fright, and the smile on her face froze for a moment.
