Chapter 56 There’s Something Wrong with the Scented Candle
Evan knew what Suzy was thinking, but he was still worried. Victor wasn’t the only one at the moment; there would be more in the future.
But no matter what, Suzy could only be his!
When the car arrived at the villa, Suzy suddenly remembered that she had not eaten yet. As soon as she got out of the car, her stomach growled.
Suzy couldn’t help but grumble, “It’s all your fault. I didn’t even have a meal.”
Suzy was speechless just thinking about it. She was indeed worried that something had happened to Evan. She even suspected that Evan’s enemy had done something to him. When she arrived at the Hughes Group, her legs had gone soft.
“I’m sorry.” Evan apologized and continued, “What do you want to eat? I’ll take you there.”
Since she had already returned to the villa, Suzy was in no mood to go out. She seemed to remember something and immediately said, “make some noodles for me.”
“Okay.”
After entering the villa, Evan took off his coat and walked into the kitchen.
Suzy replied to a few work messages on the sofa and leaned against the door. From her perspective, she could see Evan’s handsome profile.
She licked her lips and said, “The first time I ate your noodles, I was amazed. I didn’t expect the great Mr. Hughes to be able to cook.”
“I only know how to cook at the age of ten.” Then, he added, “But besides Cherry, you were the only one who had tasted my cooking.”
Suzy smiled at him. “Then I have quite the honors!”
Evan’s voice startled Suzy. She asked curiously, “Evan, how were you and Cherry before the establishment of the Hughes Group?”
Evan paused for a moment to hear this, and the expression on his face became a little strange. His voice also sounded indifferent.
“Not good.”
Suzy could vaguely guess Evan’s life in the past. It had to be said that Evan was capable of making the Hughes Group reach this stage today.
“You… Does your parents’ death have anything to do with the Carters family?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Evan’s face darkened.
Suzy’s expression instantly became nervous, and she cursed herself in her heart for saying such words. She hurriedly said, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mention this on purpose. It’s fine if you don’t want to tell me.”
Evan remained silent. He picked up the noodles from the pot to the bowl and placed them on the dining table.
“Eat.”
Suzy: “Okay, thank you.”
Evan added, “I still have some work to do. I’ll be back in a bit. Sleep first.”
“Aye.”
As she watched him leave, Suzy suddenly felt that the noodles in the bowl were no longer as fragrant.
In the middle of the night, Suzy was sleeping soundly. She vaguely sensed someone holding her in his arms, and a familiar scent came. Suzy hugged him with peace of mind. She vaguely heard the man ask, “Suzy, will you stay by my side all the time?”
Suzy answered in a daze.
The next day, she woke up early in the morning. Flora’s previous movie was over. Today was the first day of filming the TV series “Rule the World”. Its address was in the ancient town near Somo City. Suzy planned to go there with her.
Evan was still sound asleep, and Suzy didn’t wake him up. After washing up, she changed her clothes and sent Evan a message before she left.
[I have to accompany an artist to the ancient town today and won’t be back until tomorrow.]
It was not until they set off from Starlight Pictures that Suzy received Evan’s reply.
[Good, be careful.]
When they arrived at the ancient town, they checked into the hotel arranged by the production team. A brief moment later, a group of people walked in.
Teresa was in the lead, followed by several other artists.
Suzy had been paying attention to the movements of the Carters family. After the heroine of “Rule the World” was given to Flora, Teresa acted as another heroine from another costume series. It was not surprising that Suzy would meet Teresa here.
However, that series… Suzy knew that the ratings would be deficient.
After they had checked in and put away their luggage, they arrived at the set. Everything was going well today, While the director was also delighted with Flora. Suzy was relieved.
In the evening, after dinner, they returned to the hotel.
Suzy was staying in the same room as Janet. As soon as they stepped through the door, Suzy said, “Miss Carters, there’s something wrong with this scented candle.”
Janet hurriedly moved forward to light up the scented candle, smelled it carefully, and then tossed it into the trash.
Suzy frowned and asked. “What’s wrong?”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“It’s a kind of enticing aroma. If one keeps breathing it in, the people will fall into a coma. I’ll ask the hotel staff right away!”
Hearing this, Suzy pulled her back, and a trace of apathy flashed across her face. “You don’t have to ask. It’s Teresa’s fault!”
“What should we do now? Should we move to another room?”
Suzy curled her lips. “No need. Sleep!”
Janet could only nod.
After washing up, the two lay on the bed. The room door was opened in the middle of the night, and there was a faint sound of footsteps.
The two men sneaked in. In the darkness, before they could react, they tripped over something. Then, the other party punched one of them in the face.
Suzy walked to the side and calmly turned on the light!
They were two middle-aged men wearing masks and black casual clothes. When they looked at them, they were a little surprised!
“Didn’t she say they fainted?”
“It’s just two women. Let’s beat. It’s not like we can’t beat them!”
Janet swiftly made her move. The two initially confident men were beaten to the ground by her in a few minutes, and begging sounded continuous.
“Ah ah ah ah! Madam, it hurts, it hurts, we are wrong!”
“We just went to the wrong room!”
Janet stepped on the face of one of them and said fiercely, “Tell me, what do you want?”
Both of them howled in pain, but neither of them spoke.
Suzy calmly walked over and looked down at them. Her voice was distant as she said, “You’re not going to say it, right? Janet, cripple their hands and feet.”
The two couldn’t stand it because Janet was about to hit them. They hurriedly said, “It’s a woman. We don’t know who she is. She contacted us with her mobile phone! We’re just here for the money. Madam, let us go! We’ll give you the money!”
“What did she tell you to do?” asked Suzy.
Hesitation appeared on their faces as Janet viciously kicked their stomachs.
“You don’t want to say it, do you?”
“We say! She gave us your room number and said you had been knocked unconscious. She told us to pry open the door and take you away…”
The man looked at Suzy.
“And then?”
“Then strip your clothes and throw you on the street…”
As soon as he finished speaking, Janet punched him a few more times in anger.
“Madam, we were wrong. We were getting in over our head.”
Before doing this, the two didn’t know Suzy’s identity. They only wanted to get a fortune in danger, but now… they desperately begged for mercy.
