CEO Broke Down and Cried After I Divorced Him novel Chapter 823

"So, just because she said it, you believe it?"

Evangeline let out a sorrowful laugh, her expression full of disappointment.

"I’m your sister-in-law, but instead of trusting me, you choose to believe an outsider?"

"And being my sister-in-law automatically makes you a good person?" Suzy scoffed, giving Evangeline a scrutinizing look.

"I think Helena made a good point—I never spent enough time with you before, so I never had the chance to see your true colors.

"But now… after these past few days, I don’t think you’re as simple as you pretend to be.

"Your kindness is just an act. Deep down, you’re more ruthless than anyone. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have stolen the throne from Helena!"

"Suzy…" Simon stood abruptly, his face dark with anger.

"Do you even hear yourself right now? She’s your sister-in-law! Even if you don’t trust her, do you really not trust me either?

"If she were truly as sinister as you claim, do you think I’d be with her?"

"Maybe I used to believe you," Suzy shot back, her eyes filled with scorn.

"But now? I think your judgment is seriously flawed. You can’t even tell whether the woman sleeping beside you is good or bad!"

"You—!" Simon’s hands clenched into fists.

He pointed a trembling finger at Suzy, his voice thick with frustration. "You’re being completely unreasonable!"

Then, without another word, he grabbed Evangeline’s hand. "We’re leaving!"

"Oh, so when you can’t win the argument, you just walk away?" Suzy sneered.

"Evangeline, whether you admit it or not, I know there’s something off about you.

"I don’t have proof yet, but I will find it.

"And if it turns out you are behind all of this, I promise you’ll pay for it."

"Then let’s talk when you actually find proof!" Simon’s voice was firm as he turned and walked away with Evangeline.

Once they were out of earshot, Dylan, who had been silent the entire time, finally spoke in a low voice. "Your acting is getting better and better."

Suzy blinked. "Nice catch!"

"Suzy, I’m telling you, you went way too far just now! Do you even realize what you did?

"Evangeline is pregnant! If you have a problem with her, you talk to me first. But instead, you humiliated her in front of everyone!"

There it was.

Her brother, the ultimate wife-lover.

It was great for Evangeline to have such a devoted husband.

But for Suzy? This was just painful.

How could Dylan see through the act so easily while her own brother remained completely clueless?

Even if he didn’t understand her, shouldn’t he at least understand Evangeline?

Wasn’t she the love of his life?

If he didn’t even know the woman he loved so deeply, what kind of love was that?

Then again, if Simon hadn’t figured it out, why hadn’t Evangeline said something?
