Chapter 0081

Downstairs in the lobby.

After changing out of her outfit and looking composed, Suzy pretended she'd just come back from the restroom as she searched for Claude. To her surprise, she spotted him from afar, surrounded by a group of people.

Worried he might be having trouble, especially since he'd recently been injured, Suzy hurried over. As she got closer, she caught snippets of the conversation.

"Is this really how you treat your guests, dear nephew?" Martin demanded from the center of the crowd, his voice thick with anger as he confronted Claude. “Or is there something you're holding against me? If so, just say it."

Meanwhile, Helena clung to his arm, whining pitifully, “Darling, I feel like fainting....."

Suzy quickly pieced together the situation. She had to admit she'd been a bit impulsive today. But seeing Helena and Anne parading in front of her had ignited her anger, and any sense of restraint had gone up in flames. She'd already hit them, and there was no taking it back.

Just as she moved to push through the crowd, a hand gripped her arm.

That familiar touch-Suzy didn't need to turn to know it was Dylan. Sure enough, when she glanced back, there he was, with Anne at his side, eyeing her with a smug expression.

"By the look on your face, I'd say you're up to speed on what happened,” Suzy said coolly, meeting his gaze. "What's this-coming to defend your future mother-in-law?"

Dylan's eyes narrowed slightly. “You really think Claude can protect you?”
