CEO Broke Down and Cried After I Divorced Him novel Chapter 840

Something was definitely wrong.

Suzy decided to confront the Tiger Unit directly. "Why did it take you so long to respond when the attack happened?"

The squad leader responded, "We tried to move out the moment we heard the commotion, but someone blocked our path, preventing us from reaching the scene in time."

"Who stopped you?"

"I’m not sure. The person was dressed entirely in black, and we couldn't see their face. All I know is that they were highly skilled. Even with our numbers, we couldn’t overpower them."

A single person against a whole squad?

To verify their claim, Suzy reviewed the surveillance footage.

It was exactly as they had described.

At the time of the attack, a figure dressed in black had intercepted the guards.

The person’s face was completely obscured, even more concealed than the attacker who had gone after Evangeline.

This had been a carefully planned assassination.

Suzy’s heart tightened with guilt as she thought back to how she’d initially suspected Evangeline.

Yet, when it mattered most, Evangeline had risked her life to protect her.

Now she’d lost her child and paid an unimaginable price.

Shame washed over Suzy. How could she have been so blind?

Dylan had been right. Evangeline was family—her sister-in-law. She should never have doubted her.

She needed to be more like Diana, who had always trusted Evangeline, no matter the circumstances.

Suddenly, a terrifying thought struck her.

What if her suspicion of Evangeline wasn’t her own?

What if she’d been hypnotized?

The more she thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.

"Serena, was it you?" she demanded the moment she stepped into the room.

Serena's expression was the same as before—blank confusion as she stared at Suzy.

"Are you here to ask if I remember you? I’m sorry… I still can’t. I’ve tried, I swear. But whenever I think about you, my head starts pounding. The harder I try, the worse it gets."

She rubbed her temples, her face contorted in visible discomfort.

"I don’t think I’ll ever remember you. Please, just stop coming here. I feel sick just looking at you."

Her distress seemed genuine. But Suzy didn’t believe it.

"Enough with the act, Serena. You know perfectly well whether you remember me or not.

“Do you really think this little performance will erase my suspicions? You're underestimating me if you do. Whatever you've done, you're going to pay for it."

Without another word, she turned and shouted, "Guards! Since she can’t remember me, why don’t you help her jog her memory?"

A group of prison guards entered moments later, carrying various tools designed to break through even the most stubborn resistance.
