Could it be…


    Fear gripped Susan.


    That bastard Onyx-he was as good as dead to her now!


    Her loathing for Onyx deepened.


    She swore vengeance, but a thorough check of the room revealed no sign of him.


    Just then, her phone rang.


    “Susan, you really are something.


    ” Mara’s taunting voice came through.


    “You’re a walking disaster! You haven’t even married Onyx, yet have managed to get him killed!”


    “What? He’s dead?” Susan was shocked.


    A N G E L A ‘s L I B R A R Y


    “Don’t y dumb with me.


    You didn’t know? Onyx has been arrested and got a life sentence!” Mara scoffed.


    ALL of Onyx’s tax evasion and various other illegal activities during his tenure had been exposed, resulting in his arrest.


    Mara had worked hard to pair Susan off to free herself from her, but her ns had failed miserably as Onyx proved to bepletely useless.


    Susan took a deep breath.


    That scoundrel got what he deserved!


    “I did what you asked me to,” Susan said evenly.


    “Hmph, you just got lucky this time.


    Wait until the next marriage I arrange,” Mara retorted sharply.


    “Why should I? I’ve already…” Susan began to argue, but the call ended abruptly before she could finish her sentence.


    Even though the call had ended, Mara was far from satisfied.


    She had racked her brains to find a marriage partner for Susan.


    Onyx seemed like a decent person on the surface, but in reality, he was very cowardly and selfish.


    That was why she was able to deceive Esteban into consenting to Susan’s marriage!


    Finding someone else like Onyx wouldn’t be easy.


    Susan didn’t dwell on Mara’s schemes.


    She had agreed to meet up with Madisyn and had set a day aside for shopping together.novelbin


    When Madisyn saw Susan again, she looked at her in shocked silence for quite some time.


    “What’s the matter?” Susan asked, puzzled.


    She was dressed neatly and properly today.


    Everything seemed in order.


    “Why have you lost so much weight?” Madisyn asked with concern, taking her hand.


    “Susan, what’s been happening?”


    “I told you, there’s been some family issue.


    I’ve been swamped Lately and haven’t had much appetite.


    But now that I’m out today, let’s eat until we can’t anymore,” Susan responded cheerfully, trying to sound casual.


    Madisyn, knowing Susan well enough, could tell the smile was strained.


    “Susan, what’s really happening with your family? Why can’t you share it with me?”
