Chapter: 857

"Miss Salazar, you." Ivan quickly shut his mouth and calmed himself.

He surreptitiously looked at Victor, who was sitting on the bed.

Susan looked straight at Victor. She pursed her lips and clenched her dress. It had been a week since Victor proposed to break off the engagement. Since then, Susan hadn't been able to sleep or eat. Once she calmed down, Victor's cold and distant words would fill her mind.

Susan thought that she had exhausted all her tears. But as soon as she saw Victor, her eyes swam with unshed tears.

For three years, she had been by his side. Even if they were just partners, she wasn't ready to believe that Victor had no feelings for her. How could he be so ruthless?

"Victor," Susan said softly.

However, Victor didn't respond and seemed to ignore her completely.

She lowered her eyes. A voice in her head kept putting her nerves on edge. ‘Victor doesn't take you seriously. Why are you still standing here? Leave now! Don't make a fool of yourself!'

But Susan didn't move an inch.

Ivan looked at Susan and then wisely left the ward.

Victor and Susan were left alone.

After standing and fidgeting for a while, she slowly moved closer to the bed.

"Victor."

"What is it?" Victor asked coldly, as he looked at her indifferently.

"Victor, I." Although Susan had been well prepared, she was heartbroken by Victor's indifference. She bit her lip and forced herself not to feel sad. She took out a file from her bag and said,

"I brought the contract."

Victor looked at the contract in her hand.

This was the contract Carson had sent to the Salazar Group a few days ago. Victor had used this contract to call off the engagement.

James had still held a glimmer of hope, so he didn't sign it immediately. He thought that the lover's tiff would get sorted out in a few days. But he was wrong.

In the next few days, investors withdrew their money from several

Salazar Group projects. The capital chain was suddenly broken, and everyone from the Salazar Group grew anxious.

James tried to call Victor several times, but the latter didn't answer. James had no chance of knowing what went wrong until Susan came back.

He and his wife took turns asking Susan what had happened and even asked her to apologize to Victor without knowing the reason. They said that this lovers' quarrel should end soon.

But Susan knew this wasn't some quarrel between Lovers.

How could they quarrel when Victor had made their relationship clear from day one? Now, he calmly canceled their cooperation.
