Chapter 184
Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love
Compared to Timothy, who was overjoyed, Susan looked very apathetic.
She looked at him with a frown and asked, âWhat are you doing here?â
âSusan.â Timothy took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down.
Now, Ben was also there, too.
If Susan met Ben, Timothy would have no chance to win her heart.
Therefore, he had to plan carefully.
This might be his last chance.
âI came here to tell you something important, Timothy said slowly.
âWhat is it?â Susan remained indifferent.
âYou wanted to use the nurseâs phone because you wanted to check some news, right? I came from Anaville, so if you want to know anything, it will be quicker if you ask me about it,â Timothy said. âBy the way, I saw Ben, and I know where he is now. If you want to see him, I can take you to find him.â
Susanâs eyes flickered slightly.
donât we find a place to sit down and talk?â Timothy suggested cautiously.
Susan was indeed uninformed about the situation outside the town, so she nodded in agreement.
âI âI did it,â Timothy thought with ecstasy.
He took out his mobile phone and secretly sent a few messages to make some arrangements.
Ever since Susan was missing and Ben couldnât find her, Timothy had known that his chance had come.
He was ready to give up everything, his company, property, and family.
He had to find Susan ahead of Ben and went to a strange city with her to start a new life.
Since it was a strange city, no one there would know about his past with Yana.
He could find a normal job, and even though he couldnât make as much money as he did now, he felt it was worth it as long as Susan was with him.
Susan left the hospital with Timothy.
d M Clara hurried to catch up with her holding a bag. âSusan, Susan, you forgot your bagâ¦â
However, Susan didnât hear her.
Clara was surprised as she watched Susan leave with a strange man.
Susan had been there for months, but she never went out to see anyone.
che had no do foolings and didnât socialize like a robot.
The only thing she needed was her laptop.
But now, she had left with a mam.
Clara was curious, but she didnât think too much about it since it was Susanâs private affairs. She went home alone.
Timothy took Susan to a cafe.
âSusan, I remember that you like cappuccino very much,â said Timothy gently. âIâve ordered a cup for you.â
Susan raised her eyebrows and replied, âActually, I have no preference for any kind of coffee. They taste all the same in my eyes. I like cappuccino just because of the catchy name.â
The smile on Timothyâs face froze.
But soon, he smiled again.
âSusan, you must want to know what happened after you left, right?â he asked.
âYes, and itâs the sole reason why I came here with you,â Susan replied.
Timothy pretended not to notice the coldness in her tone.
The felt He put on an indignant face as if he felt sorry for her, âSusan, what happened between you and Ben?
Why did he do this to you?â
Susan pursed her lips. âWhat did he do to me?â
âYou may not know, but after you left, he accused you of stealing some important documents from his company. He even spread the news worldwide to look for you,â Timothy said in an angry tone. âSusan, I know you didnât do that. How could Ben slander you like that?â
Susanâs lips trembled slightly. âDid he⦠really say that?â
Countless thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant.
She wondered if Ben came to the town looking for her because he was afraid that she would leak the information about their Al technology?â
But she soon denied the idea.
Shaking her head, she said, âYouâre lying. Even if Ben doesnât love me anymore, he is a man of principles and wouldnât slander me like that.â
âSusan, do you really know him?â Timothy sighed. âDo you know why he is known as a tyrant in the Industry? Itâs because he would use every means to get what he wants. Itâs the same for him in the marriage. I know you are a very excellent woman, and Ben knows that, too. Now, the two of you are preparing to divorce. You are the person in charge of the Al project of his company. Thus, even if you will keep the relevant Information confidential, would Ben believe you?
âHe was afraid that you were mad at him and would work for his enemy company with the information.
Thus, he decided to go all out by ruining your reputation so that no other company would hire you.
âSusan, Ben has always been like this.â
Timothy tried to persuade her.
However, Susan had completely calmed down.
She looked calmly at Timothy and asked, âWhy should I believe you, Timothy?â
âIf you donât believe me, you can check it yourself.â Timothy handed his phone to her with a frank expression.
Susan narrowed her eyes and took it.
She searched for Benâs name on the Internet.
To her shock, a trending topic âBen accused his exâwife of stealing business informationâ popped out on the screen.
Susan frowned as she quickly looked at it.
The topic was from a few months ago. She saw many comments condemning her. Judging from the number of comments, the post was very popular back then.
The more Susan looked at it, the angrier she became.
Soon, she saw another piece of news about Ben.
âBen and Monica remarried and held a grand and enviable weddingâ.
Susanâs hands began trembling.
She continued to scroll through the news.
She saw a lot of beautiful pictures of the wedding and even Ben and Monica In their wedding dresses.
In the photo, Ben looked handsome while Monica looked a little shy.
A lot of comments said that they were a perfect match.
âBen is finally with the woman he loves the most.â
âOnly after he left his exâwife can he meet a new one. Fuck his exâwife. I wish Monica a happy life.â
There were a lot of such comments.
Susanâs fingers froze.
So it was true that Ben and Monica remarried and tried to slander her?
Susan couldnât believe it.
She could understand that Ben divorced her for the sake of his own reputation.
She could also understand that he remarried Monica.
But she couldnât understand that Ben kicked her when she was already down.
âNo, Ben wouldnât do that to me,â she thought.
âItâs fake news.â Susan raised her head and said word by word. Timothy, you tampered with the phone, so the search results it showed were all fake.â
Timothyâs heart skipped a beat, but he managed to look calm.
1 âSusan, if you donât believe me, you can use someone elseâs phone to check it.â
Susan fixed her gaze on him, then got up and went to borrow the phone from the guest sitting next to her.
That person readily lent her his phone.
Susan searched for Benâs name again.
However, she saw the same news as she did on Timothyâs phone.
She still didnât believe it.
She borrowed another phone from someone else.
But no matter which phone she used, the search results it showed were the same.
âThank you.â Susan returned the phone to its owner in a daze and then slumped into her seat, Timothy looked at her with pity. âSusan, do you believe me now?â
Susan pursed her lips and slowly stood up. âIs Ben in this town? Do you know where he is?â
âI know that you donât want to see him, right?â Timothy replied in a hurry. âLetâs leave this place secretly.â
However, Susanâs eyes suddenly turned icy. âNo, take me to see him.â
Timothy was stunned and said anxiously, âSusan, since things have come to this point, why do you still want to see him? Now, he regards you as an enemy, and he is always cruel to his enemy. I know you are mad at him, but he is so powerful that you and I together canât defeat him. On the way here, I have already decided to give up everything in Anaville and leave this place with you. We can go abroad where no one knows us and where Benâs power couldnât reach. We can start a new life. Leave here with me, Susan.â
Susan looked at himâ quietly.
For some reason, Timothy felt a little guilty under her gaze. He gritted his teeth and said, âThis is the only solution. If you stay here and are found by Ben, who knows how he will deal with you?â
âWell, I want to know that too.â Susan laughed gently.
Susanâs weird reaction stunned Timothy. âSusan⦠are you out of your mind in anger?â
âNo, I just want to confront him face to face.â Susan was very composed. âIt seems that you wonât take me to see him, Timothy,â
Susan walked toward the door of the cafe.
Timothy looked at her back, and his eyes gleamed with agony.
Ben had been looking for her for four months, and Timothy had been looking for her no shorter.
Ben had known her for a year, but Timothy had known her for more than ten years.
âWhy did she insist on seeing him even after seeing the news?
I made a mistake before.
But now, Iâm willing to give up everything to make it up for her. Why canât she forgive me?â Timothy wondered.
Seeing that she was walking further and further away, Timothy suddenly turned grim.
He had been suppressing his emotions for so long that he was about to go crazy.
This was the only chance that he probably could succeed.
He couldnât care about the consequences.
Susan walked to the door of the cafe and wanted to leave.
But a waiter stopped her with a smile.
Frowning, she turned to look at Timothy.
Timothy stood up with a calm face. âSusan, I canât let you do anything stupid, nor can I watch you risk your own life to see Ben.â
âItâs none of your business, so you have no right to tell me what to do!â Susan continued in an icy voice, âNow, tell me, what do you want?â
She was a little shocked and angry.
Although she no longer loved Timothy, she never doubted that he was a good man.
That was why she agreed to come to the cafe with him.
But now, she couldnât understand what Timothy was doing.
âIâm trying to help you,â Timothy muttered. âYouâll know it in the future.â
Even if the news on his phone was fake, it was a fact that Ben was a heartless person.
Ben might love Susan now, but who could guarantee that he would be loyal to her forever?
Ben couldnât.
However, Timothy could. â
Susan might not understand his actions now.
But after a long time, she would finally understand his love for her and know that she would be the happiest woman in the world after being with him.
Seeing Timothyâs expression, Susan suddenly had a foreboding.
She said fiercely, âTimothy, let me go.â
âWhat if I donât?â Timothy looked very calm.
Then, I will see you as my enemy for the rest of my life,â Susan warned word by word.
âReally?â Timothy smiled bitterly. âThatâs better than the two of us just being strangers.â
He calmly gave the waiter at the door a look.
Before Susan could react, the waiter suddenly took out a handkerchief and covered her mouth and nose.
She sniffed a pungent smell.
Her pupils constricted. She wanted to struggle, but she felt that she was losing her strength quickly.
Soon, she passed out again.
