CEO Broke Down and Cried After I Divorced Him novel Chapter 724

It turned out the man hadn’t died at all—Claude hid him away from the world.

This revelation painted Claude in a slightly less villainous light.

Perhaps he wasn’t entirely heartless, still holding on to some semblance of brotherly affection.

But if Claude had hidden him, then who managed to find him?

Whoever it was must have known Claude intimately; otherwise, it would have been impossible to discover that someone presumed dead for years was actually alive.

Suzy wracked her brain, trying to think of anyone who might know Claude better than she did. The only name that came to mind was Charlotte.

Charlotte was Claude’s partner in crime for years, privy to almost everything about him. But she was long dead.

Could she have set all of this in motion before her death?

It seemed like the most plausible explanation.

If that were true, then whoever was orchestrating this now was still tied to Charlotte.

The mother-son duo with the last name Manson, along with Zack Barker, had all been dealt with.

Almost everyone connected to Charlotte was uncovered.

But was there someone Suzy had overlooked?

She thought hard but couldn’t pinpoint anyone.

Still, knowing the link to Charlotte made things a bit clearer.

Calling Allen into the room, Suzy gave a direct order. "Go through everyone connected to Charlotte again. Leave no stone unturned."

Allen nodded. "Already on it. The moment we realized the man was Claude’s brother, I sent people to investigate further."

Suzy felt a pang of guilt. "Allen, I’m sorry. You’re the one Riley really needs right now, yet I keep burdening you with everything else..."

When she received a call from one of the house staff, saying that Timothy was talking about ending his life, Suzy dropped everything and rushed back to the Hillside Villa.

"Dad, I’ve already told you, I’m busy right now. Can we discuss this later, after I get through this hectic period?" Suzy’s voice was laced with exhaustion. She was emotionally drained.

"Busy, busy, busy! All you ever are is busy!" Timothy shouted, his tone accusatory.

"Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to, Suzy. You just don’t want me to marry Charlotte! If that’s how you feel, let’s just cut ties altogether. That way, you won’t have to worry about me or what I do anymore!"

Cut ties...

The father and daughter were in the middle of a heated argument when the fake Charlotte entered the room.

She approached Suzy with a calculated expression and said, "Suzy, we didn’t want to pressure you like this, but…"

Her hand moved to rest on her flat stomach.

"I’m pregnant."
