A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 162

“You can slap me again, Celia, as long as it makes you happy. I don’t want to owe you anything!” She was his fiancée five years ago, but now Ashley is his fiancée. She is nothing to him anymore!

“You…” Celia retracted her raised hand, “I won’t hit you again, you owed this slap to my brother!”

“Okay! So, I don’t owe it anymore, right?” Susan ignored the palm print on her face and went upstairs with a faint smile.

Celia stood there blankly for some time, then she turned around and walked to the corner. She saw Leon leaning against the wall with one hand, his shoulders were trembling.

Afraid that he was crying she didn’t dare to just walk past him.

She stood behind him with red eyes, “Leon, let go! A simple girl like Ashley suits you better. Susan is too complicated.”

Leon did not say anything.

Sherry had been paying close attention to Susan; she was worried about her. When she saw her come back with a handprint on her face, but still smiling. Seeing her smile like that, Sherry was reminded of the day she saw William and Lucille’s intimate photos at the MH residence that day. That day, she had also smiled like Susan.

“Susan, what happened to your face?” Sherry held her hand sympathetically.

“It’s nothing!” Susan shook her head.

At this moment, Sierra was standing beside the elevator, looking at Sherry and Susan. Her eyes had a complexity in them, especially when she looked at Susan.

Sherry glanced at her without expressing any emotions. She seemed all right. She had recovered well and Payne also seemed to be good for her. Sherry thought. She should be happy now!

This was her mother.

A woman who made her unable to reach a verdict.

She was with Cohen, then Clark and now she was with Payne!

Sherry curled her lips into a bitter smile, “Susan, let me accompany you for a walk.”

Susan glanced upstairs, thinking that she had wanted to stay until the end of the banquet with good grace, but she didn’t expect this to happen. It also wasn’t good for her self-esteem to stay there any longer. “All right! Let’s go out!”

“Wait!” Sierra said suddenly.

Sherry was taken aback, “What is it, Mrs. Jones?”

Sierra ignored Sherry and walked up to Susan.

“What are you going to do?” Sherry became nervous.

Sierra’s gaze became cold, “No matter who you are, stay away from Leon in the future. I won’t let anyone hurt Ashley, even if it’s you Sherry, let alone Susan!”

Susan was a little surprised. The hostility in Sierra’s eyes made her step back unconsciously, “Mrs. Jones, how do you know my name? Also, you must have misunderstood, I have nothing to do with Leon!”

“Susan, you don’t need to explain to her.” Sherry shook her head, “Let’s go!”

“Hah!” Sierra sneered coldly.

Sherry paused and looked at her, “What are you laughing about?”

“Sherry, don’t tell me you want a woman your age to be your step-mother?”

“That has nothing to do with you!” Sherry was very angry.

“Do you think that if you know Cohen, you will have a someone to support you? You will never become the eldest daughter!” Sierra said mockingly and then looked at Susan, “And you! Don’t think that he will like you. That will never happen! He is not an affectionate person, not to anyone!”

Sherry and Susan realized that the “him” Sierra was referring to was Cohen, they both looked at Sierra in astonishment at the same time. Sierra continued to sneer, “Stop trying to be a stealing witch and trying to seduce my son-in-law again. You’d better forget about it!”

“You are really despicable!” Sherry responded, “Susan, let’s go!”

William worried about Sherry and Susan, stepped out of the elevator and saw them looking at each other with daggers in their eyes. He stood there blankly for a moment and then hurried towards them. “What happened?”

Sierra sneered, shot William a look and turned around to leave.

At this moment someone hurried in from outside and said to Sierra, “Mrs. Jones, Miss Jones has been kidnapped!”

“What?!” Sierra exclaimed, “How could she be kidnapped?”

“Whoever kidnapped her is very strange and doesn’t want any money. The demand is for her to cancel her engagement with Mr. Hickman otherwise…”

“Otherwise what?”

The man trembled with fear, “Kill!”

Ashley was kidnapped.

The engagement banquet became a mess after losing the bride.

Leon was shocked and felt even more guilty.

Susan was shocked too and everyone became really worried.

Payne’s whole face turned white as paper. He pointed to his subordinates and yelled, “Useless bastards! Is this how you protect her? You are all good for nothing!”

“Payne, we should think carefully about this.” Sierra said, standing beside him trembling with fear.

“Shut your fucking mouth!” Payne cursed at her in front of so many people and everyone became quiet in an instant. He realized that he became so violent that he cursed but he didn’t apologize, his face hardened as he ordered his people, “Go and find her!”
