Chapter 0454
After finishing her words, Nadia turned and walked away without so much as a glance at Victor.
From start to finish, it was as if he didn't exist a complete and utter dismissal.
Victor, already feeling a pang of guilt after what he'd said, stood frozen for a moment.
He didn't know why, but every the saw Nadia, the words just spilled out uncontrollably.
It wasn't what he truly felt, not even close, but his mouth refused to cooperate.
It was maddening how habits could take over like that.
The instant the words left his mouth, regret followed. He had meant to say something to fix it, but Nadia's
complete disregard for him made it impossible.
Watching her walk away without even turning back, Victor's frustration boiled over. He chased after her, calling
out, “Nadia, what's with your attitude? Don't think you can act so high and mighty just because Grandpa likes
you.
"At the end of the day, you're not really his granddaughter, so don't start thinking you're something special!"
From the living room, Suzy let out an exasperated sigh. "Unbelievable. His mouth is even worse than Dylan's
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtever was."
The thought of Dylan brought Suzy's attention back upstairs.
She went up to his room and pushed the door open, finding him on his phone. The moment he noticed her, he
quickly locked the screen, his gaze darting nervously.
Suzy raised a brow but pretended not to notice. "It's late. Get srest."
"Sure," Dylan replied, a little too quickly.
Suzy narrowed her eyes slightly, studying him for a moment before leaving and shutting the door behind her.
Something wasn't right with Dylan lately, and she was determined to figure out what it
was.
Back in her room, she opened her laptop and prepared to hack into his phone. Just as she was about to start, her
phone rang.
It was Victor.
He had just left and was already calling. Could something have happened to Nadia?
With that thought in mind, she answered. "Victor Steele, can't you go five minutes without

causing trouble?"

...I just had a question for you. Why are you so quick to snap?" Victor grumbled.
It was bad enough that Nadia had a terrible attitude, but now Suzy was giving him the streatment. Victor
couldn't help but think that both he and Dylan had hit the jackpot when it cto women with the worst
tempers.
"Spit it out already. | don't have all night."
Victor took a deep breath. "When you were examining Nadia earlier, did you notice anything unusual? Like
maybe she was hypnotized or, | don't know, under skind of spell?”
The more Victor thought about it, the more he was convinced something wasn't right. Nadia's change in behavior
had been far too sudden, almost unnatural.
Suzy immediately understood what he was getting at.
"No."
"Are you sure?" Victor pressed. "Because if not, why else would she suddenly act so differently?"
"Maybe you should start by looking at yourself," Suzy shot back. "Victor Steele, has it ever crossed your mind
that maybe she's just had enough of you? No one stands in the sspot forever, waiting for someone to turn
around."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith that, Suzy ended the call, her tone leaving no room for argument.
She turned her focus back to her laptop, fingers poised over the keyboard, when her phone rang again.
Thinking it was Victor, she didn't bother checking the caller ID before answering sharply. She's dying. If you don't
figure out your feelings soon, you'll regret it when it's too late!" "Who?" Allen's voice cfrom the other end,
sounding confused. "Boss, who's dying?" Suzy froze for a moment before replying flatly, "No one."
But Allen wasn't buying it. Her earlier words had struck a nerve, and as he thought them over, one ncame
to mind-Riley.
Especially since he'd noticed her looking pale and barely eating these past few days. Could it be...
Allen's chest tightened at the thought, and he completely forgot the reason he'd called in the first place.
When the line went quiet, Suzy frowned. "Why aren't you saying anything?" Chapter 0454
Allen snapped out of it, his voice steadier this time. “I found a lead on that tattoo."
