The Sweet Pursuit by Golden Autumn
Chapter 221

"While I was still thinking of excuses and comforting myself after he forsook me, he went ahead and pushed me to Cruise.

"I finally understood that in his eyes, I'm just a sl*t with loose morals." Suzy did not know what to say to her. She could only reply in a low voice, "If you finally get it now, it's never too late to get your life back!" Winona's face was pale. With eyes filled with sorrow, she nodded slowly and said, "I've

already told him that I want to break up with him. He thought that I was doing it in a huff. He thought that just like before, I'd take the initiative to go back to him after our quarrel. But only I know that I'm thoroughly done now. He's dead to me. Love is dead to me! I'll never go back to Capital City again, and I've bought a plane ticket to Marriot. I'll be leaving in three hours."

Suzy was happy for her. "With that talent of yours, you'll lead a good life without relying on any men!"

"You're right!" Winona raised her head. She held her tears back and swallowed the lumpy grievance in her throat. "Looking back now, I was truly an idiot. I wasted seven years on a person who wasn't even worth it. I got nothing out of it in the end!"

She took a deep breath and looked at Suzy with a sneer on the corners of her mouth. "Suzy, do you know why Bennett lost this collaboration?"

Suzy listened to her words and seemed to have something to say, but she looked at Winona and said nothing.

Winona continued, "Before he came here, Bennett bribed the person in charge of this project in George's company. The person leaked some information to Bennett, saying that George was planning on taking over the collaboration with Hilde alone and he already had a countermeasure. At that time, Bennett panicked and tried his best to inquire about Hilde. He heard that Hilde and that butler of his loved Cantent woman, so he deliberately brought me along with him. However, this morning, Bennett received news that the information he had inquired about before was not completely accurate. Hilde and his wife had a very good relationship, and there were zero young and beautiful Cantent assistants around him." Winona heaved a sigh before continuing, "I'm now suspecting that all of this has been George's plan all along. He wanted to kick Bennett out from the very beginning! I think that even the person from his company had deliberately surrendered the information to Bennett so that he'd feel anxious and try anything in the face of crisis. As for George, he stood quietly behind him and watched as Bennett made a fool out of himself in front of Hilde while trying to leave Hilde with a positive impression of him. It was especially repulsive when Bennett asked me to keep Hilde company. He must have been utterly disgusted with Bennett!

"George is gentle and considerate to you, which in turn reminded Hilde of when he and Mrs. Merck were a young couple. I think at that time, Hilde already had a conclusion in his heart.

"As for the bracelet that made him become even more confident with his decision, I assume you must've been the one who managed to get it for George, right?

"I've seen Mrs. Merck's photo album. The two of you look somewhat alike when she was

younger, so you were George Laine's best weapon!"

Suzy's eyes were dark and deep. She shot a faint glance at Winona.

Winona's tone sounded sincere when she said, "Suzy, I'm not here to sow discord between you and George. I can see that he treats you very well, but he's deep and unfathomable. You can't read him, so you must be careful. "At the very least-"Winona took a deep breath and said slowly, "Don't end up like me!"

Suzy nodded lightly. "Thank you for the reminder. I know what I should do."

"That's good, then. You're smarter than me, so you'll turn out even better than I did!" Winona took a step back. Her eyes were gentle and sincere as she said, "I'm very glad that I got to meet you, Suzy Shirley. I hope I'll get a chance to see you again in the future!" Suzy nodded. "Take good care of yourself!"

"You too!"

On the way back after saying goodbye to Winona, Suzy could not help but start thinking of her words. Did George bring her here so that she could go home to see her grandfather, or was it as Winona had said, that he wanted to use her to conquer the Merck couple.

However, regarding the search for the bracelet, it was impossible for him to know her relationship with the River family. Otherwise, the lie would have gone too deep.
