Chapter 28 Return to My Side
As night fell, the venue of the five-star hotel was decorated delicately and luxuriously. Under the illumination of crystal lamps, guests in suits and crisscrossed cups came and went.
The Carters family doted on Teresa very much. Not only did they invite many celebrities from the upper class, but they also invited many big shots and media reporters from the entertainment circle.
Suzy came with Flora. When they arrived at the hotel, she asked, “You don’t want to see the Carters family, do you? Why do you insist on coming with me?”
Flora blinked and smiled. “I’m here to watch the fun!”
At the banquet’s door, Teresa, dressed like a princess, was holding hands with Levy to entertain the guests. When Teresa saw Suzy coming, the smile on her face deepened. She said proudly, “Suzy, I’m happy you’re here. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have known Levy. You will bless us, won’t you?”
Suzy swept his gaze over the two in front of her and curled her lips into a smile: “Yes, congratulations. I hope that you two can be together forever.”
It must be said that the two of them were quite a good match. Suzy was a little reluctant to destroy the marriage contract.
After that, Suzy walked into the banquet with Flora. She looked up and found that acquaintances surrounded her. Michael entertained the guests not far away, and Aaron was standing opposite her.
Suzy felt disgusted when she saw the two men. She was about to look away when Michael looked at her with an unpredictable smile on her face.
Suzy frowned slightly. She knew in her heart that Teresa had invited her to the banquet not only because she wanted to show off to her but also because the Carters family had plotted against her.
Suzy told Flora, “I don’t know what the Carters family is planning, but be careful. Don’t drink or eat anything.”
Hearing this, Flora nodded.
The two of them found a corner and sat down. At that moment, a loud noise came from the door. Suzy heard someone say excitedly, “Mr. Hughes is here.”
Suzy had long guessed that Evan would also be attending the banquet. When she heard the news, she couldn’t even be bothered to look at him. She only felt depressed.
Suzy would be able to clarify the relationship between her and Levy after today. She recalled the news that since Evan already had a girlfriend, he probably wouldn’t let her sleep with him anymore, right?
Alas… With such a big patron gone, what should she do if she had no money in the future?
Thinking of this, Suzy couldn’t help glancing in Evan’s direction. Many people from the Carters family surrounded him. Although Evan’s expression was indifferent and a little far away, Suzy still felt that he was in a bad mood.
What grudge did Evan have with the Carters family?
At this moment, Evan chatted briefly with the members of the Carters family before leaving, and then Thomas walked over towards him.
“Alas, Evan, look at Suzy. I don’t know which brand her dress belongs to. This designer is very good! The dress she used to attend CIRA’s party was also very good. I don’t know who this designer is. I want to recruit her to join us.”
“Don’t mention her.”
Evan’s gloomy and cold voice resounded, and it terrified Thomas that he instantly didn’t dare speak another word!
Thomas thought in his heart: Suzy was blind!
“Isn’t Mr. Hughes good?”
Why did she have to hook up with an engaged man?
…
At that moment, the Carters family’s Third Young Master, Alex Carters, also sought out Suzy.
Alex also had his own company named ACLC. Like CIRA, which specialized in luxury brands, ACLC’s reputation was no match for CIRA’s.
“Suzy, long time no see.” Alex smiled. Flora had gone to the bathroom, leaving Suzy alone. Therefore, Alex said, “Did you design this dress yourself?”
Suzy did not reply. Instead, she asked, “Is there anything wrong?”
Alex was the person from the Carters family people whom Suzy hated the most.
Suzy liked fashion design very much, but she was forced to enter the entertainment circle by Alex’s mother, Mrs. Carters. The two most popular dresses in ACLC was Suzy’s creation during her college time. Still, her design had been embezzled by the brand Alex had created.
At that time, Suzy didn’t care about this matter because she regarded them as family. But when she thought about her previous life, when she was useless in the entertainment circle, she realized that the Carters family had been using her. That was why Suzy wanted to leave with the money.
However… Alex had taken Suzy back from abroad. Alex had broken Suzy’s leg, and she had been locked up in the basement for half a year. If she didn’t give him the blueprints, she would suffer torture and live a life worse than death…
“Suzy, would you like to be a designer for ACLC? I’ll offer a high price for you.”
Following Alex’s voice, Suzy raised her eyes. Her expression was extremely gloomy.
“I’m sorry, but ACLC is not worthy.”
After saying that, Suzy stood up and left. She went to the bathroom and recalled half a year when she could not see the light of day. Those cold dishes… she could not help but vomit.
Flora ran into Suzy when she went out of the bathroom. At this time, Flora had been waiting outside the door.
When she saw Suzy walk out of the cubicle, she hurriedly asked. “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”
Suzy shook her head. “I’m fine.”
Then, Suzy washed her face and put on some lipstick again.
“Do you bring cigarettes?”
Flora took a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from her bag and handed them to her. She then looked at Suzy. Seeing that Suzy didn’t want to say anything more, she had no choice but to say, “Then I’ll leave first. If you need any help, feel free to call me.”
“Okay, thank you,” Suzy faintly smiled.
Suzy went to the balcony near the bathroom and lit a cigarette. In fact, in the rebellious period, Suzy also knew how to smoke, but when Mr. Carters found out, Suzy was punished by his domestic discipline and did not dare to smoke again.
At this time, the smoke surrounded her cold face. Suzy looked down at the night view of Somo City, thinking about something.
Right then, a cold and mellow voice sounded out from behind her.
“What’s wrong? Why are you so unhappy to see the man you like getting engaged to someone else?”
Suzy looked back and was slightly stunned when she saw Evan behind her. Then she said, “Evan, can you listen to me carefully? Levy is not the man I like. You misunderstood me!”
Evan sneered at Suzy’s slightly ugly complexion and slightly red eyes. “Misunderstanding?”
“That photo from before, it’s…”
Before Suzy could finish her sentence, Evan stepped forward and threw the cigarette in her hand aside. Then he wrapped his arms around Suzy’s waist, turned around, and pressed her against the wall.
Suzy looked up. Before she could react, Evan’s deep voice rang in her ears.
“Suzy, I’ll give you a chance to sever all ties with Levy and return to my side.”
Evan had always been ruthless to those who betrayed him and schemed against him. He had never given them a chance. But now, facing Suzy… Evan admitted that he was crazy!
He firmly told himself that he was giving Suzy a chance because of her that he could sleep peacefully.
There was nothing else!
