Suzanne’s mind spun with confusion. Betty was outside Imperial Heights?
She hastily dressed, and with thepany of two vignt
bodyguards, she departed Sudvi and made her way toward the guarded gates of Imperial Heights.
Imperial Heights was the residence of high-ranking officials and dignitaries from Norvania. Thus, its
gates were heavily guarded to prevent outsiders from entering.
Stepping beyond the gates, Suzanne was met with a chaotic scene that ignited a fiery rage within her,
her fists clenching and trembling with intensity.

Behind Betty, several rtives held up banners bearing the words: Suzanne, Mom begs you for mercy
for Dario and Samuel.”
Betty knelt before the banner, tears streaking her face, resembling at pitiable and fragile mother.
Among the onlookers, at least two-thirds were reporters and media personnel, their cameras and
phones at the ready.
Seeing Betty, Suzanne’s eyes reddened with difort, her tears glistening. Though she wasn’t
Betty’s daughter, the genuine devotion she had poured into the past three years felt utterly wasted.
Even a loyal pet wouldn’t betray her, yet Betty’s actions seemed intent on destroying Suzanne
completely.
etty, Suzanne’s voice quivered with suppressed fury. doing?”
ne she burst into tears. “My
dear, I was wrong!
ald wrong!
At that moment, the media reporters were astonished to see
Suzanne, the pivotal figure in the incident, Nathan’s wife. They surged forward excitedly, snapping
photos, recording videos, and live-
streaming the scene.
The bodyguards, sensing the danger, surrounded Suzanne immediately. Their voices lowered as they
reminded her, “Madam,
let’s head home. Let Mr. Morrison handle this matter.”
Suzanne felt deeply troubled. While she could rely on Nathan, she couldn’t depend on him for
everything. He was busy dealing with national affairs, managing the conglomerate, and handling a slew
of external matters.
Moreover, the Morrison family was currently in disarray, with Daniel’s life hanging in the bnce in the
hospital. Suzanne couldn’t expect Nathan to resolve every crisis.
Whispers rippled through the crowd as onlookers exchanged spective nces, passing judgment
upon Suzanne.
Voices were raised among the rtives behind Betty, condemning Suzanne as an ingrate and using
her of abandoning her parents.
They evenmented that she abandoned the York family and wielded Nathan’s influence to imprison
Dario and Samuel. They painted her as a heartless betrayer.
The crowd erupted into a cacophony of jeers and booing, their eyes #aze with contempt.
Imprison?” Suzanne pondered. She seemed to grasp the situation.
Betty truly wanted to save Dario and Samuel, she could have contacted Suzanne privately. Disying
banners and causing a cmotion wasn’t about rescuing them. It was simply a threat to
extort more money from her.
Suzanne asked calmly, “Why were they imprisoned?”
Betty continued to cry without responding. A rtive behind her spoke up, “Samuel was used to be
involved in human trafficking,
while Dariomitted rape under the influence of alcohol. It’s all your husband’s doing!”
Suzanne scoffed, and loudly questioned in front of the numerous reporters, “Did Nathan force them into
human trafficking? Or force them into rape? Why use him of their wrongdoing?”
The rtive stood defiantly and retorted, “Everything was peaceful until they used you, this ingrate,
on the television the other day!
“Then, both Samuel and Dario ran into trouble this morning. If it wasn’t him, who else could it be?”
Suzanne indignantly dered, “That only proves they were able to hide their crimes well after
committing them, not that they were. innocent.
“If Nathan was manipting behind the scenes and framed them, Betty wouldn’t be kneeling here
unharmed. It speaks for itself.”
The crowd fell silent, unable to respond.
