Oliver shot a menacing stare and licked the blood from the corner of his mouth. He grinned viciously.


    Nathan held himself back from hitting him and shoved him to the ground. Having vented his rage, he


    pulled out a handkerchief to clean his hands and turned away.


    Sally blocked his path with both of her hands in displeasure. “You think you can just hit somebody and


    walk away? Do you care to exin why you did that?”

    Nathan stared at her in disgust. She had be so unfamiliar to


    him. She had made a disgrace of her name and her ce in his heart. He brushed past her and left


    Hoffis Manor behind.


    Sally was startled. She seemed to realize something. She hurried into


    the study and turned on the listening devices, only to find that they


    were all out of order.


    Her face turned pale, and she slumped into a chair.


    After a few moments, Sally came rushing out of the study. She found Oliver sitting on the couch. He


    clenched his teeth as he rubbed salve


    on his wounds.

    ing’s wrong. All our listening devices have been destroyed. Do think Nathan is suspecting us?”


    Oliver’s eyes were on Sally like she was some kind of fool. “You think he just came to pick a fight with


    me for fun?”


    “Then what do we do?” Sally was at a loss.


    “He has no proof,” Oliver scoffed. “He would have thrown you in jail by now if he had proof that you


    were involved.”


    Sally sneered, “That’s impossible. I used to be the person he loved the most. He wouldn’t have me in


    jail even if he wasn’t in love with me


    anymore.”


    Oliver brushed her off with a snort.


    After a while, Sally muttered thoughtfully, “That look he gave me earlier was so strange. He’s not as


    gentle as he was before. Could he be suspicious of my identity?”


    “It’s only natural that he suspects you,” Oliver said as he put the


    medical kit away. He stood up and added contemptuously, “You and Chubs are worlds apart in nature.


    You two aren’t evenparable.”


    Sally gritted her teeth and growled, “Then why don’t you get rid of her quickly? Why keep her around?


    She’s Nathan’s wife now, and you’re never going to have her in your life.”


    Oliver turned and red at her. His eyes were like those of a bloodthirsty devil. He asked coldly, “Do


    you have a death wish?”


    Sally swallowed nervously but pretended to be calm. “Just wait and see. If you don’t kill her, she’ll send


    you to jail when she regains her


    memory.


    “She’ll take away everything you own! All the wealth of the Hoffis family will wind up in her hands. Not


    only will you lose her, but you’ll also lose your life.”


    Oliver’s eyes dimmed. Sally saw the look on his face and suggested, ” If killing her is too much for you,


    why not imprison her?


    “Keep her under your control for the rest of her life. Then, you can do


    whatever you want with her.”


    An eerie smile crossed Oliver’s face as he nodded to Sally.


    As night fell, the garden of Sudvi was lit up with soft yellow lights that illuminated the paths.


    In the bright hall, Suzanne rested her chin on the back of her hand at the dining table. She stared at the


    food that had grown cold before her. She wondered if she should call Nathan to see if he would be


    home for dinner.


    Her appetite waned as she thought about him. She knew that Nathan was busy and couldn’t be home


    with her every day. She had to get -used to such a life.


    Hearing the sound of footsteps, Suzanne hurried to the front door. A smile broke out on her face when


    she saw that Nathan was home.
