CEO Broke Down and Cried After I Divorced Him novel Chapter 781

The thought of Suzy and Elliot sharing the most intimate connection sent sharp pangs through Dylan’s heart.

Making this decision took every ounce of his strength.

After all, no man would willingly hand over the woman he loved to someone else.

If he had any other choice—if he could still stay by her side—he would never have allowed this to happen.

The pain was unbearable as if it was tearing him apart from the inside.

"Suzy, when I'm gone, promise me you'll find happiness with Elliot."

…

Suzy hadn’t used her body to detox Elliot.

The reason she had sent Allen away was because there were things she needed to say to Elliot in private.

She walked up to him, her gaze steady and unwavering.

“Elliot, if you weren’t my apprentice, your life or death would mean nothing to me. But you are my apprentice, and that means I can’t just stand by and let you die.

“But…” Her expression hardened.

“Even if I have to save you, it won’t be in the way you’re hoping for.”

“Mentor…” Elliot frowned.

“Are you just like Allen? Do you think I’m deliberately forcing you into this?”

Suzy let out a cold laugh.

“Aren’t you? Elliot, you’re my apprentice. We haven’t been together for long, but I know you far better than you think.

“And honestly? Allen wasn’t wrong. You’re using the fact that I have to care about you to push me into a corner, knowing full well I won’t just let you die.”

“I wasn’t—”

The smirk on Suzy’s lips deepened. “Oh, really? You know better than anyone whether that’s true.

“And here’s another thing Allen said that I do agree with—if you don’t even care about your own life, why should I?”

Her tone sharpened. “If you really want to die, just say the word. I won’t stop you.”

Elliot hadn’t expected Suzy to say something like that.

“Since we were once mentor and student, I’ll do you the favor of making sure you get buried properly.”

“You really hate me that much?” Elliot’s face was full of hurt.

“You say I’m your only apprentice, but then you turn around and treat me like this. Is this what I mean to you?”

“Mean something to me?” Suzy let out a mocking laugh.

“Maybe once, I had some respect for you as my apprentice.

“But that was before. Now, I don’t feel a damn thing for you.

“Having a student who only thinks about sleeping with me? That’s nothing but a disgrace.”

She was deliberately saying this to provoke him—to make him finally give up on the twisted thoughts he should’ve never had in the first place.

No matter what, she could not and would not use her body to detox him.

To her, Elliot wasn’t just a student, he was like a younger brother.

And there was no way she could ever do that with someone she saw as her own family.
