CEO Broke Down and Cried After I Divorced Him novel Chapter 824

Was Evangeline staying quiet to avoid exposing their act?

If that was the case…

Suzy put on an angry expression and scoffed at Simon.

"So, in your eyes, it’s only about your wife now? I don’t even matter to you anymore, do I?"

"Stop twisting the situation! That’s not what this is about!" Simon’s expression darkened further.

"I’m talking about your lack of trust in your sister-in-law! She’s family—how can you not believe her?"

"Family?" Suzy sneered.

"She’s only my sister-in-law because you married her. Otherwise, she and I have nothing to do with each other.

"And I have every reason to doubt her! Didn’t you say she thinks you care too much about me? That she’s jealous of me?"

"You’re being completely unreasonable!"

Simon rubbed his temples, exasperated. "She was joking when she said that!"

"You think it was a joke, but maybe that’s just what she wanted you to believe."

Suzy let out a cold laugh. "You think you really know her? Maybe you don’t know her at all."

"I know her better than you do!" Simon snapped, grabbing Suzy’s wrist.

"No matter what, you need to apologize to her."

Suzy yanked her arm free. "And what if I don’t?"

"You don’t have a choice."

"Oh, I definitely do!" Suzy huffed and shoved Dylan forward.

"Since I’m so unwelcome here, I’ll just leave! And as for Dad? I’ve taken care of him long enough. It’s time for you, his son, to step up!"

"Suzy!" Simon called after her, chasing after them.

"Get back here!"

Suzy acted as if she hadn’t heard him, storming off with Dylan, never looking back.

As soon as they were out of earshot, Dylan whispered, "Don’t you think you’re overacting just a little?"

Suzy clapped a hand on his shoulder. "Shut up and play along. We don’t know if anyone’s eavesdropping."

Dylan sighed. "So, if that’s the case… should I add to the drama?"

"Exactly!" Suzy nodded.

"Hurry up and pretend to talk me down."

Helena stared at her, stunned. "Wait… what did you just say?"

"I said I’m here to seek refuge!" Suzy huffed.

"I had a huge fight with Evangeline, and now I have nowhere else to go. So, I came to you!"

"You fought with Evangeline?" Helena’s surprise deepened.

"Why?"

"I thought about what you said and realized you were right."

Suzy sighed dramatically.

"So, I started watching Evangeline more closely, and sure enough, she’s not as simple as she seems…"

She narrowed her eyes. "She might really be hiding something. So, I confronted her, and we got into a huge argument."

"So… you believe me now?"

Helena’s expression shifted, a gleam of satisfaction flashing in her eyes.

"Yes," Suzy nodded.

"Which is why I’ve decided… to team up with you against Evangeline!"
