CEO Broke Down and Cried After I Divorced Him novel Chapter 833

To test her theory, Suzy tipped the bottle and poured two black pills into her palm, then held them out to Evangeline and Helena.

The sisters exchanged a brief glance, saying nothing.

Without hesitation, they each took a pill and raised it to their lips.

"Wait!"

Just as Evangeline was about to swallow hers, Suzy called out, stopping them both.

"I don't think either of you is lying. I think there's something bigger going on here."

Evangeline was the first to respond. "What do you mean?"

Suzy's gaze darkened. "I think someone is trying to turn the two of you against each other. And as for me..."

Her eyes narrowed. "Whoever it is doesn't just hate you—they hate me too. I think this is a plan to pit the three of us against each other."

Helena frowned. "A plan to destroy all three of us? Who would hate us that much?"

Suzy's eyes narrowed as a thought struck her. "Serena."

F...

The initial they'd been chasing. Serena Ford.

It suddenly all clicked into place.

"No," Evangeline said immediately, shaking her head.

"That’s impossible. Serena has been locked away in the royal prison for months. She doesn't have the freedom to orchestrate something like this."

Suzy’s smile was laced with irony. "Are you sure about that?"

…

To get to the truth, Suzy asked Evangeline to keep a discreet eye on Serena’s activities.

Days passed. Everything about Serena's behavior seemed ordinary—too ordinary.

No suspicious moves, no strange visitors.

"I think you might be overthinking it, Suzy," Evangeline said one afternoon.

"Serena isn't the same person she used to be. I’ve seen her myself—she’s not just locked away physically. Mentally, she’s... broken. I don’t think she even has the clarity to scheme anymore."

"Her mental state isn’t normal?" Suzy's brow furrowed.

"Then maybe I should go see her for myself."

Suzy headed to the royal prison and finally came face-to-face with Serena.

But Serena just stared, expression blank. "Suzy Frost? Who’s that?"

"Not even a little?" Suzy pressed.

"Look closely. Maybe it’ll come back to you."

Serena did as she was told, lifting her gaze to study Suzy’s face with an almost childlike focus.

"Nope," she said after a few moments.

"Nothing. Not a single thing. But from the way you’re talking, I guess I should know you. Why can’t I remember?"

Her words were simple, but Suzy picked up on something beneath them: clarity.

Logical reasoning.

Her speech didn’t match the vacant, broken persona everyone believed she had.

Suzy reached out and helped her up from the cold stone floor. "It’s okay. If you can’t remember now, maybe it'll come back later."

Serena nodded. "Maybe. I’ve probably just been locked up too long. My brain’s gone a little foggy."

She sighed heavily, glancing around the dim cell.

"It’s lonely in here. Day after day, it’s just me—eating, sleeping, pacing the same four walls. You're the first person who’s visited me in… forever."
