NovelEnglishChapter 227:
Meanwhile, Darren, who had been out of touch for years and had only recently reconnected with her, had
recognized her from merely seeing her from behind.
The irony stung.
“Susie!” Darren's voice broke through the air, laden with frustration from the day’s events. Hearing the interview
about Kristopher and Cathy only fueled his anger.
“It's tto leave. If you must stay late, focus on your work. It's not appropriate to eat and watch TV in the
office.”
Susie looked up, her face still bright with amusement from the news.
But when Darren scolded her, Susie's face shifted quickly. “Why are you so angry? Are you in a bad mood? It's
pitiful enough that I have to work overttonight. Now, | get lectured for watching the news and eating
noodles. Can't | even take a break?”

that interview are nothing but despicable.”
Susie rolled her eyes at him. “Mr. Cox and Miss Miller have been in love for years. It was Mr. Cox's ex-wife who
caused trouble in their relationship yesterday. How can you speak like that? In my view, the shameless woman
who exploited Mr. Cox’s situation and married him is the real villain here!”
Darren, caught off guard by Susie's retort, stiffened.
He raised his voice, “What are you talking about? Kristopher cheated during his marriage. He...”
“Darren,” Belinda interrupted him calmly before he could finish. “Where should | put this jewelry box?”
Darren paused, shifting his gaze from Susie. “Cwith me,” he said. As they walked away, he couldn't resist
shooting a fierce glare back at Susie. “Watch your words in the future!”
Susie rolled her eyes again, turned back to her noodles, and deliberately turned up the volof the news.

After a few bites, she suddenly stopped, her eyes fixed on the face of Kristopher’s ex-wife on the news.
The woman who had walked in with Darren earlier... Was she Kristopher’s ex-wife?
“Susie has crossed the line.”
After they entered the storage room, Darren took the jewelry box from Belinda’s hand and placed it carefully in
the cabinet. His brow furrowed as he whispered, “I think she’s too young to distinguish right from wrong.”
He then turned to Belinda, giving her a meaningful look. “Belinda, don’t take Susie’s words to heart.”
“I haven't,” replied Belinda with a dismissive tone. “Darren, you know Kristopher and | have divorced. All that is
behindnow. There's no need for worry or agitation.”
A shade of pallor washed over Darren's face. “Belinda, I...”
“Darren,” she interrupted, taking a deep breath and sliding her hands into her pockets. “She’s merely echoing
the chatter from the Internet. Engaging her would only affirm that her words affect us.”
Moreover, it had been clear that Susie didn’t recognize Belinda when they had first entered the room. However,
following the argument...
Belinda was no longer certain.
