“If I remember correctly, I told you before I agreed to the marriage arranged by you that I no longer considered myself a part of the Riggs family,” Susan replied coldly.


    Mara looked at her with narrowed eyes.


    “What if your father asks you to return and work in thepany? Won’t you go back?”novelbin


    Susan didn’t answer.


    So, Mara continued, “Susan, Jada has been studying perfumery abroad and will graduate soon.


    That means she is returning and will be the new head of the Riggs family.


    I suggest you don’t overstep your bounds.”


    “I also advise you to stay in yourne.


    Stop causing trouble, especially around me.


    Otherwise, if I decide to work at the Riggs Group, it may not end up in your or your daughter’s hands,” Susan said coldly.


    These words angered Mara.


    She red at Susan with sharp eyes and shouted, “How dare you threaten me!”


    “Why? Don’t you like the feeling of being threatened? Isn’t this your favorite tactic?” Susan looked Mara straight in the eye and added, “If you don’t want me to get involved, get out of here now.”


    Mara clenched her fists tightly in anger.


    She red at Susan, but she could only turn around and storm off.


    Susan entered her grandfather’s ward.


    The next day, ine arrived at the hospital to visit Susan’s grandfather as promised.


    Madisyn was with her.


    When they walked out of the elevator, they saw a familiar figure in the corridor.


    He was leaning against the railing, seemingly lost in thought.


    ine quickened her pace, approaching the man.


    “Dane?”


    Dane was startled when he heard the familiar voice.


    He turned and looked at ine and Madisyn with a rare hint of panic in his eyes.


    The sounds outside the ward caught the attention of the people inside.


    Susan came out to see what was happening.


    She was surprised to see Dane.


    Dane quicklyposed himself.


    “Mom, what are you doing here?”


    ine looked at him in confusion.


    “I should be the one asking you that.


    What are you doing here?”


    “I’m here to visit a client,” Dane replied without missing a beat.


    “Oh, I see.” ine nodded.


    “Are you done? I’m here to see Susan’s grandfather.


    Since you are already here,e with us.”


    Dane pursed his lips, hesitating for a moment.


    In the end, he nodded.


    Susan invited them inside.


    Her grandfather, Erick, was sitting upright in his hospital bed, propped up by pillows.


    He was reading a newspaper.


    When he heard some movements at the door, he looked up and was surprised to see the group enter his ward.


    “Susan, who is this?” Erick inquired.
