Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love By Christin Donald (Edward) novel Chapter 142

Chapter 142 

The person in charge was bewildered. 

He glanced at Monica somewhat cluelessly and then looked at Susan, “Mrs. Landor, this…” 

Before Susan could say anything, Monica chimed in again, “Oh my, don’t you know? I was Mr. Landor’s first wife. If it weren’t for people mistakenly thinking I had died, I would still be Mrs. Landor right now.” 

Susan just looked at her expressionlessly. 

The person in charge was completely flabbergasted. 

The current wife and the ex–wife came together? 

What kind of intriguing script was this? 

He couldn’t help but cautiously glance at Susan. 

Susan calmly looked at Monica, “You said you were just here to look around.” 

“Yes, yes!” Monica nodded hastily, “I promise I won’t interfere with anything.” 

Then she couldn’t help but cover her mouth, “Oh dear, did I say something inappropriate just now? But, I was just stating some facts!” 

Susan continued to look at her with a blank expression.. 

Monica inexplicably felt a sense of unease. 

Sometimes, Susan’s gaze resembled Ben’s, which inexplicably frightened her. 

Monica gritted her teeth, finally backing down, “Alright, I won’t say anymore.” 

Susan withdrew her gaze and turned to the person in charge with a gentle look, “I’m not here to inspect the work, just here to have a look around. This is Ms. Lynn, she was curious and insisted on coming. I couldn’t refuse, so I had to bring her along. Could you please assign two people to accompany her throughout? If she has any questions, have them explain things to her.” 

Assign two people to accompany her throughout? 

Chapter 142 

This was basically supervision, right? 

The person in charge immediately understood, “Yes, Madam!”

After all, one was the current wife and the other was the ex–wife. 

The relationship between Mr. Landor and the current wife was still very strong. 

He knew perfectly well where his loyalties should lie. 

“There’s no need for someone to follow me, I…” Monica tried to decline. 

But Susan had already ignored her, walking straight in. 

“Ms. Lynn, I’ll find someone to accompany you,” the person in charge said, stopping her with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes. 

Monica pursed her lips, a flash of resentment sparkling in her eyes. 

So, Susan was keeping an eye on her as if she was a thief. 

But no matter how aggrieved she felt, it was useless. The person in charge indeed found two staff members who followed her closely, mirroring her every move. 

Monica glanced at the two burly men flanking her and was speechless. 

She refused to believe this! 

She was sure she could handle this Susan. 

A flicker of determination flashed in Monica’s eyes as an idea emerged in her mind. 

“I need to use the restroom,” she said. 

Surely they wouldn’t follow her that? 

As expected, the two hefty men didn’t stop her, only stationed themselves at the restroom door. 

Monica snorted softly, quickly walking up to the mirror. 

She took out a bottle of water from her bag, sprayed it on her eyes, instantly creating a pitiable, tear–streaked appearance.

She took a selfie with the mirror, and took another photo of the the restroom entrance. 

Then, she sent the photos to Thomas. 

two intimidating guards at 

Her tear–rimmed eyes and frail appearance made her look exceedingly pitiful. 

Thomas called back immediately, his voice laden with anxiety, “Monica, where are you? What happened?” 

Monica’s voice trembled faintly, as if she were terrified to the extreme, “Thomas, I…I… 

Before she could finish, she started sobbing softly. 

“What exactly happened?” Thomas’s voice became increasingly tense. 

With crying noises that sounded like she had reached her limit, Monica finally said amidst her sobs, “Thomas, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen grandpa. Today, when I came back, I just wanted to visit the Landor family to see him. But at the entrance, I met Mrs. Landor. For some reason, she refused to let me in when she heard I wanted to see grandpa, and even forcibly brought me to an advertisement shoot location. I don’t know how I offended Mrs. Landor. The moment I arrived, she had two burly men following me closely. Their stares are quite frightening, as if they intend to do something terrible to me. I was so scared that I hid in the restroom. Thomas, I am really scared.” 

Thomas was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, “Mrs. Landor? Susan?” 

“Yes, it’s her,” Monica cried, “Is she afraid that I will take her place? But I really just came to see grandpa. After all, he was once my grandfather.” 

As she spoke, her crying became even more intense. 

Thomas hesitated slightly, “Susan… isn’t that kind of person.” 

“Thomas, you don’t understand. When women become jealous, they can lose their sense of self,” Monica said tearfully. “Anyway, I’m now being restrained by the people she sent. Ben is not here. Can you come and save me?” 

Monica’s crying sounded genuinely distraught, not at all fabricated. 

Even though he believed in Susan’s character, Thomas couldn’t fully shake off his concern. 

He took a deep breath, “Send me your location.”

Monica quickly sent him her location, then pleaded pitifully, “I’ll wait for you here. You have to come quickly, okay?” 

Hearing Thomas agree, Monica finally hung up the phone. 

A flicker of smug triumph flashed in Monica’s eyes. 

Her father had advised her to stay put and just wait, but what good was waiting? 

This time, she was determined to take matters into her own hands. 

Quickly, she formulated a plan in her mind. 

Thomas was Ben’s best friend and infatuated with her. If Thomas saw her being bullied by Susan, he would definitely stand up for her. 

Ben might not believe her if she spoke ill of Susan, but he would certainly give credence to Thomas‘ words. 

All she needed to do was get Thomas firmly on her side, then everything would fall into 

place.
