Chapter: 858

Susan told her parents everything that happened in the past three years, and just like that, her father's last hope fizzled out.

James signed the contract and urged Susan to give the contract to

Victor, regardless of her emotional state.

"Victor."

"Susan, I thought I made myself very clear the other day." A trace of impatience flashed through his eyes as he saw Susan's red eyes.

Once again, tears welled up in her eyes. She took a calming breath and said, "I know. I have no other intentions."

"In that case, you can leave now. Since your father has signed the contract, I will ask Ivan to implement it as soon as possible and reinvest in the Salazar Group projects," Victor said this to drive

Susan away.

Susan bit her lip hard and stood by the bed. She looked at Victor and wanted to ask him something.

Susan wanted to ask that what if she were Rachel? Would he have still been so heartless?

“Anything else?" Victor frowned with piercing eyes.

Susan could only look back at his indifferent face. She was longing to ask him something, but the words stuck in her throat. She felt a little dispirited. After a few seconds, she took a deep breath and forced a smile.

"I talked to Dr. Turner earlier. He said that it would take at least half a month before you could get discharged from the hospital. I know there are many rumors going around online at the moment. Knowing you, you will do something about it, but—"

"Susan." It was something he didn't like to hear, so Victor cut her off abruptly in a voice so cold.

"That's none of your business."

His disregard for what she was trying to say made Susan bite her lower lip, yet she still responded so calmly, "I just care about—"

"No need." There was not a trace of emotion on Victor's face, but he did sound steely.

With tears welling in her eyes, Susan lowered her head and didn't say a word for a while. When she finally collected herself, she raised her head again and feigned a smile. As she tried to keep her voice from quavering, she uttered, "You see, I'm quite officious."

Susan stared straight to Victor, trying to see how he would react.

However, Victor didn't even look at her.

Susan tightened her grip on the hem of her dress. Then, hidden under her dress, she tightly pinched her palm with her nails that were covered with exquisite manicure. This way, she could let out and hide her embarrassment at the same time. Forcing a smile, she said,

“Anyway, I won't stay for long. I have other things to do today. But before I go, I just want to ask you. Do you remember what you said before? If our cooperation is cancelled, in addition to the film contract and the cooperative contract between the Salazar Group and the Sullivan Group, you will also give me three houses in Delmor

Community."

"Yes. Don't worry. I will ask Ivan to make the arrangements so that the transfer procedure will be done as soon as possible." As Susan reminded Victor of their agreement, his expression became even colder.

But then Susan pursed her Lips, looked up at Victor, and suddenly said, "No. I actually don't want those houses."
