CEO Broke Down and Cried After I Divorced Him novel Chapter 812

Suzy hadn’t thought much of it at first.

She followed the instructions given to her.

There was no reason for them to target Evangeline or so she believed.

But just minutes after hanging up, Simon called again.

"Suzy, I can’t get through to Evangeline!"

Hearing that, a wave of unease washed over her.

"Let me try."

She quickly ended the call and dialed Evangeline’s number.

Once.

Twice.

She didn’t answer again and again.

Just as she was about to call Simon back, her phone rang.

It was an unknown number.

The moment she saw it, a chill ran down her spine.

A sinking feeling settled in her gut as she took a deep breath and answered.

The voice on the other end was as cold as ever.

"Miss Frost, I’ve decided on a meeting place. Come to the Grandview Hotel—"

"Is Evangeline with you?" Suzy cut him off, her voice sharp with anger.

A low chuckle echoed through the line.

"Oh? How did you figure that out? I was just about to tell you, but I guess your brother beat me to it."

"You promised me you wouldn’t touch them!" Suzy snarled, pulling her car to the side of the road, her grip tightening around the wheel.

"I did everything you asked—why the hell are you going back on your word?"

The voice on the other end let out an amused laugh.

"Did I ever actually promise you anything?"

Suzy’s heart pounded with fury.

"And even if I had, I never said I’d keep my word. That’s the thing about me—I never play fair.

“I would’ve thought you’d learned that by now. But clearly, you still don’t know me well enough.

“Or maybe you do know, but you’re just too naive to admit it. Honestly, I’m surprised you even believed me in the first place.

“If I were you, I wouldn’t trust a damn thing my enemy said."

Every weapon she had, her custom silver needles, the specialized watch on her wrist, was confiscated.

Only after they stripped her of anything useful did they finally let her through.

She was led to a penthouse suite.

The second she walked in, her eyes locked onto Evangeline—tied up, restrained, but very much alive.

"Sis—"

"Don’t come any closer!" Evangeline cut her off, shaking her head urgently.

"Suzy, get out of here! Leave me!"

Like hell she would.

"Evangeline, if I were the one in danger, would you leave me behind?"

"This is different," Evangeline argued.

"You mean too much to Simon—if anything happens to you, it’ll break him!"

"And you don’t mean just as much to him?"

Evangeline opened her mouth to respond, but before she could, a cold, mocking voice filled the room.

"How touching. But let’s not waste time arguing, ladies. Because today—neither of you are leaving."
