“She’s been talking behind my back, spreading false rumors about me, and making Nate think poorly of me. That’s why he doesn’t likeanymore!
“She knows how to control men, and Nate must have fallen for it. It’s fine if I get hurt, but I worry Suzanne will hurt Nate. She’s crafty and can manipulate men like it’s a game

“He talks more and even helps around the house now,” Taylor added.

“But-” Sally tried to say more, yet her voice abruptly stopped as she noticed Suzanne approaching slowly. Sally looked at her with a guilty expression.
After greeting everyone, Suzanne calmly faced Sally and remarked, ” Ms. Hoffis, I could have exposed your wrongdoing, but I decided not to shyou. Why are you trying to cause problems in my family?”
Sally tried to stay composed and spoke in a soft tone, “Suzanne, I didn’t cause any problems. I was just having a conversation with’ everyone.”

“Suzanne, are you hungry? I can ask the housekeeper to whip up sdessert for you.”

purposely dropped it on the floor and pretended to fall. You made it seem like I mistreated you in front of Nathan.
“And remember that tin the military base dormitory? You

“You’re tricky and deceitful. Just because I can’t outsmart you doesn’t mean I’ll tolerate you forever.
Everyone in the room stared at Sally in astonishment, their faces showing a blend of disbelief, disgust, and disdain.
Sally rose to her feet, shaking with anger. She tightened her fist and cried out, “I didn’t do it! You’re spreading lies about me! You’re the one who’s good at spreading lies.
