Chapter 169

In the Landor’s family residence.

Ben arrived as fast as he could.

“Good day, Mr. Landor.”

“Good day, Mr. Landor.”

The servants greeted him softly.

Ben asked coldly, “Where’s Susan? Has she come back yet?”

The maids hesitated for a moment.

“Speak,” Ben said coldly.

One maid was shocked and quickly said, “Mrs. Landor was here. But not long after, she left with a suitcase.”

Ben felt his heart skip a beat. “She left with her suitcase? You didn’t stop her?”

Probably because Ben looked terrible, the maid said in a trembling voice, “Mrs. Landor didn’t say anything, so we didn’t dare to stop her.”

Ben looked even grimmer.

He quickly went upstairs.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw an extremely eye–catching document on the table.

Ben almost fainted when he saw the title.

Divorce agreement!

“Fuck, who is going to divorce?”

He suppressed the urge to kill and quickly read through it.

Susan mentioned that she didn’t want anything from the divorce.

At the end, she signed her name.

Susan also left a small note.

“If there’s no problem, you can sign it. When you go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce, just call me.”

Ben stared at the piece of paper, his eyes almost spitting fire.

“Susan.” Ben couldn’t help but grit his teeth.

In the hospital, even though Leo and Isabella were so shameless, he was still very calm.

However, while he was dealing with this group of people, Susan actually broke down his walls.

This woman!

She was a bastard!

He took out his phone and called Susan.

The call didn’t go through.

Ben became even more irritated.

He picked up the note and read it again.

He found that Susan even wrote a sentence on the back.

“Don’t come to me if I don’t look for you. Send me an email directly after confirming the time of the divorce. I won’t reply to you, but I will be there on time.”

Ben was stunned.

As long as Susan answered the phone or even replied to his messages, he could determine her current location within three minutes.

But now, she had told him to just email her.

Was she determined to avoid him?

Ben was on the verge of going crazy.

However, he couldn’t go crazy.

He had to get Susan back.

Ben forced himself to calm down.

He quickly looked around the room.

Susan left in a hurry. Other than a few clothes, she did not bring anything else with her.

When she left home, she would most likely stay in a hotel..

After all, the hotel would provide some daily necessities, and she could move in with her bag.

If it was a hotel, she would not choose an extravagant one. However, with her rationality, Susan would not choose a terrible one.

She should be in a medium–sized hotel.

Moreover, this hotel was definitely not too close to the Landor family’s residence or the company.

As a result, the range was greatly reduced.

There were still many hotels that needed to be checked out.

However, as long as he gave the order, it wouldn’t be difficult to find Susan in Anaville.

Ben went out without hesitation.

He wanted to take this divorce agreement with him.

Then, he could throw it in front of Susan.

“Ben, where are you going?” Charlie asked slowly as soon as he entered the house.

Ben pursed his lips and said nothing.

Charlie walked over and took the divorce agreement from his hand.

Charlie looked at it calmly and said, “She must have heard the conditions Leo put forward.”

“I know.” Ben pursed his lips.

He knew how hurt Susan would be when she heard this.

But he was also angry at Susan for not trusting him at all.

Even if he really had to choose one, would he give up on her for just 10% of the shares?

Did she underestimate him and herself too much?

“It’s not necessarily a bad thing for her to take the initiative to leave.” Charlie couldn’t bear it, but he still said, “Ben, I’ve thought about it carefully on the way. With Susan’s character, she wouldn’t kill people on purpose. She probably didn’t know that Penelope had an old injury on her head, and then she was angry. I believe that she didn’t know things would turn out so badly. However, whether she did it intentionally or not, disaster has already happened. She must pay the price for it. Do you know that?”

Ben took a deep breath. “Grandpa, let’s talk about it when I get back. I’ll Charlie stretched out his cane and blocked the way.

“Grandpa!” Ben frowned slightly.

go find her first.”

“Ben,” Charlie said calmly, “Susan has already made her choice, and it’s time for you to make your choice. Divorce like this is the best for both you and her. If you are still indecisive, then once Leo tells this to others, not only will Susan have to divorce, but she might also go to jail.

“You know, although I’m very disappointed in Susan, I’ve already done my best to protect her. I’ve suppressed the voices of all those who know about it and told them not to reveal it to the public. I promised Leo a large sum of property to make him give up on calling the police. Ben, I am protecting you and Susan. Do you understand?”

Ben was stunned.

When did Charlie promise Leo a large sum of wealth?

He didn’t know anything about it at all.

Charlie rubbed his eyes wearily. “Money isn’t important. I just hope that the family will be fine. I only hope that the two of you will be fine. At the very least, on the surface, you should be fine.”

Charlie spoke with a hint of stubbornness unique to the elderly.

He didn’t care what was going on between Ben and Leo in private.

However, as long as he was alive, the two of them couldn’t fight face to face!

Even if this peace was just an illusion, he chose believe in it as well.

“If you go and find Susan now,” Charlie continued, “What do you want to tell her after you find her? Tell her,that you want a divorce? There’s no need to do that. Tell her that you don’t want to divorce? If Leo gets the news and calls the police impulsively, all my efforts will be in vain! Ben, you can’t go to find Susan, and you can’t even find out where she is! If you insist on seeing her, you can only meet her at the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau. I’ll go with you and watch you go through the formalities.”

Ben clenched his fists slightly.

“All right, you can go back now.” Charlie pointed in the direction upstairs.

Ben closed his eyes.

At this moment, thousands of thoughts emerged in his mind.

In the end, these thoughts gradually settled down.

Ben also found the answer.

He really couldn’t go to find Susan now.

Three days. He only had three days..

In than theas d..

He didn’t know anything about it at all.

Ben also found the answer.

He really couldn’t go to find Susan now.

Three days. He only had three days.

In these three days, he wanted Leo and Isabella to believe that he had really chosen to give up on Susan.

Only in this way would they let down their guard.

Only in this way could he find evidence to turn the tables.

He thought to himself, “Susan, I only need three days.

“Can you wait for three days?”

Ben went upstairs in pain.
