The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1213

"Susan, what the heck are you saying?" Bruce's voice was tinged with a mix of frustration and dismay as he reacted to Susan's harsh words.

"Isn't it true though? Neither of you can give me what I want, and you just drag me down! I'm fed up with both of you!" Susan yelled before storming back upstairs.

With a loud slam, she shut the door of her room, her sobs muffled within its confines.

Susan’s parents had no clue about where the two hundred thousand had come from. It was the money that she had paid her own price for in humiliation!

That glaring yet precious money didn't just fail to multiply under her parents' care. It vanished in days, as if her youth had been gambled away with it.

No one could fathom the agony and rage churning in her heart.

Seeing Susan's outburst, Bruce and Lucy exchanged a look of silent understanding. With a snort, Bruce retreated to his study.

After crying her eyes out, Susan caked on makeup to hide her puffy eyes and headed to the hospital.

In the hospital's dressing room, Callum Gordon just had the cast removed from his leg. The doctor advised, "You'll still need crutches for a few months. Try not to put weight on the injured leg. After two to three months of rest, you should be walking on your own."

"Thank you, Doctor," Callum replied, his voice gentle and polite.

"You’re welcome," said the doctor, smiling in return.

"Congrats, Mr. Gordon, on getting that cast off. Must feel good to lighten the load," Susan said as she walked in, smiling. She handed him a bag of nutrients, "Heard you were getting your cast off today, so I thought I'd drop by."
