CEO Broke Down and Cried After I Divorced Him novel Chapter 829

That night, the two of them were sleeping soundly when a strange scent suddenly filled the room.

Naturally, Suzy was the first to notice it—after all, she was a doctor and more sensitive to such things.

Realizing something was off, she quickly pulled the blanket over Dylan's nose and mouth, then slipped out of bed.

Moving quietly, she opened the door just a crack.

Outside, she saw someone approaching.

The figure wore a black trench coat, and most of their face was hidden behind a mask, making it impossible to identify them.

The person entered Helena's room.

Suzy held her breath and crept to the door, pressing her ear against it to listen.

"Suzy trusts you so much right now. You need to make the most of this opportunity," a voice said from inside.

"Once you take down Evangeline, Xandria will be yours. You won’t have to live in her shadow anymore."

"Exactly," Helena said, her voice thick with resentment.

"I’ll use Suzy to reclaim everything Evangeline stole from me—her power, her possessions, and her life.

“She thinks I’m no match for her now, but everything she has exists because I let her have it. And now, I’m taking it all back."

"That’s right. She owes you, and you’ll get back every bit of it. When you become the leader of Xandria, don't forget what you promised me."

"Of course not. Everything I promised will be yours the moment we succeed. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am today. I’ll never forget what you've done for me."

So, Helena wasn’t the mastermind behind the secret organization.

The real leader was the woman in that room.

"Don't say that," the voice responded.

"This is a win-win partnership. All right, let’s wrap it up before Suzy notices something’s off. I’ll leave now."

Hearing footsteps approaching the door, Suzy didn’t retreat to her room.

She stood right where she was, waiting for the person to come out.

This might be her only chance to see the woman's face.

She froze at the sight of Suzy fighting someone in the hallway.

"Suzy, what’s going on?" Helena asked, her face a picture of shock.

Suzy glanced at her. "Shouldn’t you be the one telling me?"

Helena’s expression turned confused. "What do you mean? I was sleeping when I heard noises outside. I thought there was a break-in, so I came to check. Why do you sound like you think I’m lying?"

"Whether you’re lying or not, we’ll know soon enough—once I catch this person and let you both have a nice chat," Suzy said, her voice steely.

She suspected Helena had come out to distract her, giving the masked intruder a chance to escape.

Just as this thought crossed her mind, Helena suddenly tossed a gun toward her.

"Suzy, take it!"

Suzy’s eyes darted to the weapon in midair.

For a moment, she couldn’t figure out what was really going on.
