Once Suzie made her decision, she said softly, "Fine. Buckle up."
The moment the words left her mouth, she slammed her foot onto the gas pedal. The sports car let out a ferocious, throaty roar as she jerked the steering wheel, peeling out onto the street.
"Whoa, you don't mess around, do you?" Chester let out a breathless exclamation.
They had only spent an afternoon together, but she had already handed him surprise after surprise.
This woman didn't just have a radiant complexion and stunning curves; she was decisive, completely cool under pressure, and brilliantly sharp.
Chester tallied Suzie's virtues in his head, staring at her with unabashed admiration.
Earlier, Suzie had kept shooting him wary glances.
But now, her mind was entirely consumed by what Mia had said, and her mood had completely plummeted.
She had dragged the people around her down after all.
Whether it was Stella, Oliver, or Hayden—friendship aside, they had all been incredibly kind to her, and they had protected her babies.
She could not stand by and let Jamie hurt them!
Suzie's resolve regarding her prior decision before entering the plastic surgery clinic solidified even further.
The car tore down the avenue and quickly arrived at Timefly Studio.
When Suzie hopped out of the car and sprinted for the elevator, Chester was right on her heels.
She didn't have the time to entertain him right now. She needed to see the documents, understand the grounds for the lawsuit, and figure out her next move.
When she burst into the office, Mia was waiting anxiously.
Mia glanced at the man following Suzie inside and shot her a questioning look, silently asking who he was.
Suzie frowned and turned to Chester,
"Go out and take a right. That's the lounge. Wait there and grab a coffee. I have some business to handle."
Chester nodded, ever the gentleman,
Jamie!
What kind of heartless monster was he to pull a stunt this ruthless?
And what kind of strings had he pulled to get a lawsuit like this fast-tracked and validated?
He had backed both her and Hayden into a complete corner.
A tidal wave of pure hatred crashed over Suzie.
Watching Suzie's reaction, Mia swallowed hard.
She also felt Jamie was crossing a massive line.
He had seized upon this so-called "fraud" and blown it entirely out of proportion.
The most terrifying part was the stipulation clearly stated in the document: They were not seeking financial compensation.
The implication was clear. If this went to court and they lost, Hayden would be facing actual prison time.
