The Years Between Signing and Seeing novel Chapter 639

Suzie decided not to waste any more mental energy on it. Lexi hated Chloe with a burning passion; even if Suzie stopped looking, Lexi would never give up the hunt.

Suzie was just getting ready for bed when her phone suddenly rang. It was Hayden.

"Suzie, are you home?"

Hearing the panic in his voice, she sat up immediately. "Yeah, I'm about to go to sleep. What's wrong?"

Hayden exhaled a heavy sigh. "Check the trending topics online right now. I'm almost at your place. Let me in when I get there."

He hung up before she could respond.

Frowning, Suzie threw the covers off, slipped into a light cardigan, and walked out into the living room while opening her social media apps.

She scrolled through the trending list, not seeing anything immediately alarming. But when she reached the number six spot, her heart plummeted.

The headline read: *Single Mom Exploits Three Adorable Kids for Cash to a Sickening Degree.*

With trembling fingers, Suzie tapped the link. The subheadings were a targeted attack: *Owner of Iris Dream Studio, Suzie Sterling—The Mother Behind "Sugar Buddies".*

Suzie took a sharp breath as she scrolled. There were paparazzi-style photos of her and the kids at the park, and a shot of Zoey getting a nosebleed on a commercial set.

Next came photos of her luxury SUV, the upscale gates of her apartment complex, and the front of her high-end studio.
