Chapter 1023 Let’s Talk
At this very moment, she hated Tessa’s guts in her heart. This b*tch is simply the bane of my life! “No, I can’t sit on my hands like this.” Gnashing her teeth in hatred, she worked her brains at full speed before an idea soon came to her mind. She picked up the phone on her bedside table and dialed a number, saying, “Eunice, let’s talk.”
After a moment’s silence, Eunice’s nonchalant voice sounded through the phone. “I don’t remember having anything to talk about with you.”
Susan sneered. “Is that so? Well, it seems that I have no choice but to talk to Tessa then.” Just as she pretended to hang up the phone, she heard the sound of Eunice clenching her teeth. “Hold on!”
“I’ll be waiting for you at the hospital. If you’re not here in half an hour, I’ll have no choice but to call Tessa instead,” Susan said before hanging up right away.
Less than half an hour later, Eunice showed up in the ward with a rather sullen expression. “Why did you ask me to come over? Shoot!” She looked at Susan while holding her head high arrogantly.
Without beating around the bush, Susan came straight to the point, asking, “It was you who caused what happened to the stage elevator, wasn’t it? Also, it was you who bribed the stage operator to frame me, no?” Despite her questions, she sounded very positive about it.
Eunice’s eyes flickered for a moment before she warned in a serious tone, “Susan, stop throwing mud at me here, or I can sue you for slander.”
Susan stared at her maliciously. “Ha! You know very well whether I’m throwing mud at you.”
Eunice was creeped out by her stare, feeling as though she were being stared at by a venomous snake. Even so, she kept on playing dumb while refusing to admit it, saying, “What do I know? Didn’t you purposely drug Tessa’s cosmetics out of jealousy and bribed the stage operator into causing the stage incident for fear that the drug wasn’t potent enough?”
“That’s f*cking bullsh*t!” Susan swore at once in a fit of rage. “It was you who plotted the stage incident, but you worried that your reputation would be ruined if you were found out by Tessa and others. As it happened, what I did was found out, so you decided to shift the blame onto me and make me a scapegoat for you. I’m telling you, there’s no way you can make me take the blame for you!”
Feeling somewhat unnerved at first, Eunice was instantly relieved as she looked at the angry woman before her. She thought the latter had merely guessed the truth without finding any evidence of it. Instantly, she smirked with disdain, saying, “You’d better have proof to back up your story. If you have no proof of it, then everything you say is just a slander against me.”
Seeing how the woman wouldn’t admit what she’d done, Susan gnashed her teeth in resentment. The next instant, she rolled her eyes as an idea sprang to her mind. “Who told you that I have no proof of it? I’ve found proof of what you did, and it’s in my father’s hands. Otherwise, what do you think gave me the courage to confront you here?” Holding her chin high, she looked at Eunice with a sneer and continued, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t admit it now. The police will arrive very soon, anyway. And besides, I know why you did it. You did it to have Nicholas to yourself, no?”
As soon as she finished her speech, Eunice’s face instantly changed color, and her expression darkened.
At the sight of this, Susan narrowed her eyes, becoming even more certain that this woman was the culprit behind the stage incident!
A brief silence reigned over the ward. A moment later, Eunice’s voice rang between clenched teeth. “What do you want?”
“What I want depends on the choice you make.” Susan smirked smugly, knowing that Eunice had admitted it at last. “I can refrain from giving you away, and I know that you dislike Tessa. As it happens, I don’t like that woman either. I think we can work together to drive her away, but on condition that…” She intentionally paused for a moment to look at Eunice.
Eunice asked with a look of displeasure, “What’s your condition?”
“You have to give me a place in Group Two when my arm is fully healed,” Susan said. She knew full well that she wouldn’t have the chance to stay in Group Six anymore after this time’s incident, so she had to find the best way out for herself.
Naturally, Eunice also thought of this, and her brows furrowed. “That’s not up to me.”
