The Wrong Woman

Sally finally realized that Nathan was angry at her. She allowed tears to flow down her face freely so that she could look pitiful.

Then, she apologized sincerely, "I'm sorry, Nate. Why are you being so mean to me all of a sudden?"

Nathan questioned angrily, "Did you really think I wouldn't know about you framing Suzanne just because there weren't any surveillance cameras in Sudvilla?"

All color was instantly drained from Sally's complexion. She could only gaze at Nathan, not knowing what to do. A moment later, she managed to recover from her shock. "Suzanne was the one framing me!"

"You really don't want to admit it, huh? Do you think I'm that stupid, Sally?" Nathan looked extremely disappointed.

It was then Sally realized that she could no longer keep the truth under wraps from Nathan. She burst into tears and slapped on a guilty expression.

"I'm sorry, Nate! I know I've made a terrible mistake!"

Nathan did his best to reel in his temper. He took a deep breath though his tone was tinged with anger.

"If that were the case, then you wouldn't have accused Suzanne stealing the necklace, nor would you have pissed Grandma off to the point that she got hospitalized!

"From now on, you're forbidden from meddling with my matters concerning Suzanne! You're also not allowed to visit Grandma on your own! If I catch you repeating this mistake, I will never let you off

the hook!"

Sally approached Nathan and meekly grabbed his hand. Then, she

started swaying it coquettishly.

"Nate, I know I'm in the wrong here. Please forgive me, okay? I won't repeat this mistake ever again."

Nathan shook Sally's hand off furiously before taking a step

backward. He said coldly, "I'll have my men deliver your belongings to your home tomorrow. You'd better reflect on your actions at home." Once he was done speaking, he walked toward the door and pressed

the doorbell.

Sally kept crying as she pleaded for mercy and apologized to Nathan. She even resorted to acting cute and whining to him like a spoiled brat. Still, Nathan remained unmoved.
