“I will never leave you again.”
“What?” Maria threw the tissue into the trash can.
“I thought you said it would take you a while longer to cback.
How cyou returned all of a sudden?”
Sitting cross-legged on the sofa across her, Odin shrugged his shoulders and said, “Well, I missed you so much, so I cback.
“Oh really now? Yeah, right.” Maria was amused by his flattering words.
But on second thought, something worrisentered her mind.
She suddenly stopped smiling and asked, “Does Victor know?”
“Don’t worry about it.
He won’t know.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI’LL make sure of it,” Odin replied casually.
He knew what troubled Maria, and he wanted to reassure her that everything would be fine.
“That’s good.
But you and I both know Victor is a cunning man.
He had questions about your so-called death and had speople investigate it.
I was worried that his men might find you here.”
“I’m not afraid of him because I’ve got everything all figured out.”
As soon as he finished speaking, his phone suddenly vibrated inside his pocket.
He took it out and looked at the screen.
It was a text message.
“It’s done.”
Odin took one last look at the message and deleted it.
At the stime, Maria’s phone vibrated.
What she received was not a cryptic text but a piece of breaking news.
Maria glanced at the long article and didn’t care about the content at first.
Unexpectedly, a familiar nattracted her attention.
Something bad had happened to Susan Salazar.
“Today, at 3:20 p.m.
on October 26th, Susan Salazar committed suicide by jumping off a building.
The first responders declared her dead on the spot.”
“It can’t be.
Susan’s dead?” Maria gasped in horror.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOdin put his phone down and leaned back on the sofa, pretending to be confused.
“Mom, who is Susan?”
“A stupid and greedy woman who wanted to get what she didn’t deserve,”
Maria replied disdainfully.
“But I can’t believe it.
She committed suicide? It just doesn’t seem right to me.
Susan would never give up in her quest for power.
Could there be someone else responsible for her death?”
Busy adjusting his cuff link, Odin didn’t say anything.
“Odin, you haven’t answeredyet.
Didn’t you say that you would cback in a few more days?” Maria didn’t mention anything more about Susan’s sudden death.
She didn’t really care about that heartless woman.
