Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love
*** N 73% 06:20 âWhatâs wrong?â Ben asked when he saw Susan looking perplexed upon his return.
Susan shook her head. âNothing much, just met a weird guy.â
âA weird guy?â Ben instantly became alert, âMale or female? What did he do to you?â
Susan looked at him amusingly. âA man. But he didnât do anything, just asked a few questions.â
âA man! Asking questions?â Ben became even more vigilant. âWhere is he?â
Ben seemed ready to confront the man.
âDonât worry. He just asked a few questions.â Susan reassured him with a smile.
âWhat questions?â Ben inquired.
A hint of confusion flashed in Susanâs eyes, âNothing special, just about my health and strength.â
Ben was puzzled.
*Probably he was just surprised to see a girl enjoying such intense rides, Susan said nonchalantly.
After finishing her explanation, she smiled and suggested. Iâm a bit tired. Letâs find a place to sit, okay?â
Ben, still feeling weak in the knees from the ride, quickly agreed.
At the nearest dessert shop.
As soon as Susan ordered, her phone started buzzing incessantly with messages.
She opened it and took a look.
It was all from Theresa.
[Susan, you really left me in the lurch. How could you just abandon me like that?
[Do you have any idea how annoying Thomas is!
[He said he was too lazy to walk and insisted on going on the Ferris wheel with me. Once would have been fine, but now itâs our fifth time! I said I wanted to leave, but he threatened to call our parents!
[Is he insane or what?!
[Ah, itâs the sixth time on the Ferris wheel. Iâm losing my mind.]
Susan chuckled at the message and then calmly set her phone aside.
dd MMA TO 73% 06:20 âBen, let me tell you aboutâ¦â Susan began to share the latest gossip with Ben when suddenly she noticed someone waving and smiling at her from behind Ben.
Susanâs smile twitched.
âThe beautiful foreign lady, we meet again,â Allen approached them warmly, taking a seat uninvited at their table.
Ben looked at Allen expressionlessly, âWhat, do you want to be thrown out again?â
Remembering the experience of being thrown out last time, Allenâs scalp tingled.
But he composed himself quickly.
âHmph, last time it was in the Storm Group, you could kick me out, but now weâre at an amusement park. Youâre not the boss here, what right do you have to kick me out?â
âIs that so?â Ben glanced at Allen, then made a phone call.
âYes, buy shares in this amusement park, as many as possible. Itâs okay to buy it outright. I give you half an hour,â
Ben spoke calmly and hung up.
Allen felt a chill run down his spine. He stammered. âYou⦠you canât fool me. Buying an amusement park canât be that fast.â
Ben raised an eyebrow, saying indifferently. âThen just wait here.â
Allenâs smile froze on his face.
He sat there stubbornly, âFine, Iâll wait.â
And thenâ¦
Before even half an hour had passed, the amusement parkâs security approached Ben.
âBoss.â they greeted respectfully Ben looked at Allen with a smirk. âNow, it seems I can throw you out again.â
Allenâs face paled instantly. âYou canât do thisâ¦â
Ben raised an eyebrow and said indifferently, âThrow him out.â
A shriek like a pig being slaughtered filled the air as Allen was dragged away, yelling, âBeautiful foreign lady, I will be back. For you, I will never give up.â
Susan remarked, âIs he really a prince?â
Ï & M M Ben quipped, âProbably got hit by a meteorite on the head at birth.â
Susan shook her head, not giving much thought to this little interlude.
73% 06:21 âYou will pay for treating a prince like this.â Allen, disheveled, was thrown outside the gate, issuing his final threat.
âA prince?â
However, the security guards only sneered and walked away without looking back.
Allen became anxious.
Was it their expression of disbelief in his royal identity?
Did they think he couldnât possibly be a prince?
âWait, I have ID, I can prove who I amâ¦
But the guards didnât stop for a second, leaving without turning back, as Allen thought about chasing after them.
Suddenly, Allenâs hand was abruptly grabbed.
âWho dares to grab me?â he snapped, turning around in frustration, only to find himself faceâtoâface with Easonâs emotionless expression.
âEason, itâs you!â Allen exclaimed as if seeing a savior, gripping him eagerly. âQuick, help me tell those security guards that I really am a prince.â
Eason pried Allenâs hand off, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, âWhat have you done?â
âItâs all because of that Ben!â Allen fumed. âWhen you suddenly disappeared, I wandered around and guess what? I was incredibly lucky to bump into Ms. Miller at a dessert shop.â
His eyes brightened as he spoke. âMs. Miller is still so beautiful, just like the girl of my di Easonâs eyes narrowed dangerously. âThen what happened?â
âI just went over to say hi. But that Ben, so detestable, insisted on separating a pair of lovers. He actually threw me out.â Allen recounted with a mix of indignation and selfâpity.
Eason seemed to reach his limit, grinding his teeth. âFlirting with someoneâs wife right in front of them, and you just got thrown out, not beaten up or maimed. Youâre actually quite lucky.â
âEason!â Allen looked at him in disbelief. âYouâre siding with an outsider! Youâre no longer my best friend. Iâm going to remove you from my friend list.â
âThe feeling is mutual,â Eason said, turning to leave.
dd MM âHey, wait for meâ¦â Allen jogged after him. âEason, do you think Ms. Miller could actually be your sister?â
73% 06:21 At the mention of Susan, a brief smile flickered across Easonâs face, but then his expression turned grave again.
âWhatâs wrong?â Allen asked curiously.
Eason pursed his lips. âAfter arriving in Coraland, I looked into Susanâs background. Her father is Carl, her mother is Jane, and she has a fraternal twin sister, Yana. Her family background is quite clear.â
âSo, sheâs not your sister?â
Eason hesitated. âI thought so too, but after seeing her today, I had this inexplicable feeling.â
âYou saw her too?â Allen was surprised. âA special feeling? Youâre not thinking of pursuing her, are you?â
Easonâs eyebrows twitched in irritation, and he couldnât help but kick Allen lightly. âNonsense! You know I love thrilling rides. I came to this amusement park specifically for the âEternal Loveâ ride, known for its intense spins. While queuing, I discovered Susan was right in front of me.â
âAnd then?â Allen urged.
âAlmost everyone gets off that ride looking pale as death, but not Susan. She came off looking radiant and energetic, as if she hadnât had enough fun yet.â Eason recalled, his gaze softening as he thought of Susanâs sparkling eyes.
Allen was taken aback. âApart from your family, there are such brave souls in the world?â
Eason chuckled. âI was surprised too.â
The Nicholas family has a unique gene, endowing each member, regardless of gender, with a robust physique and natural strength far beyond ordinary people. Furthermore, every generation, both men and women, have a natural aptitude for intense activities.
By this logic, Susan seemed like a naturalâborn Nicholas family member.
âThereâs another thing, Susan has a rare blood type,â Eason continued, âSo did my mother. But then, Yana also has a rare blood type. Iâm not sure where Susanâs blood type comes from.â
âSo, what are you implying?â Allen prodded.
âI plan to stay a few more days. Ideally, Iâd like to get a sample of Susanâs blood. One way or another, I want an answer.â Eason declared.
Allen excitedly slapped Easonâs shoulder. âStaying is the right choice. You can help me strategize. I wonât leave until I win over my goddess.â
Eason disgustingly shrugged off Allenâs hand. âGet lost.â
JJ JMM ATO *å»åº 73% 06:21 Allen became frantic. âEason, you canât be like this. Think about it, if Susan really is your sister, and she marries me, weâll be family. You know my character, Iâll endure any scolding or hitting without fighting back after marriage! As for Ben, with his high position, Susan might suffer injustices!â
Eason was speechless.
Though the logic was twisted, it strangely made some sense.
Swayed for a moment, Eason narrowed his eyes but quickly regained composure.
âShut up. I warn you for the last time, if you keep bothering Susan and Ben, Iâll call the Queen and report how youâre tarnishing the reputation of the Ethopian royal family abroad.â
Allen looked at Eason with a woeful expression. âAre you even my friend anymore?â
Seeing Allenâs miserable face, Eason suddenly felt quite pleased.
âSusan, could you be my sister?â He thought.
Eason decided he needed to meet Susan again, ideally to have a longer conversation to confirm some details.
If he could obtain a sample of her blood or hair, that would be even better.
Of course, opportunities like this were rare, so he planned to patiently wait while expanding some business.
ventures in Coraland.
Eason thought he would have to wait a long time for such an opportunity, but it came sooner than expected.
A movie directed by Mr. Witt,titled âLove in Bi start shooting after months of preparation.
in Bitter which Susan had singleâhandedly financed, was about to Additionally, the movieâs lead actress, Rose, was a close friend of Susanâs.
Eason learned that Susan would be attending the movieâs opening ceremony.
If he could also attend, it would be the perfect chance to interact with her privately.
