Chapter 492: Together in the Open

After enduring hours of harsh criticism from various members of the Alvarez family,

Susan finally left with Hayden, her body and spirit utterly drained. What hurt her most was Hayden's silence throughout the ordeal. He hadn't uttered a single word in her defense.

This incident brought Susan a brutal clarity about Hayden's true nature. She realized that she should have left him long ago.

"Tomorrow, I'll hold a press conference. You'll attend with me," Susan said, her voice devoid of the pleading tone she once used when begging for scraps of Hayden's affection.

"What time?" he asked, his tone indifferent.

"Ten o'clock."

"Alright. Do I need to prepare anything for the event?" Hayden asked, his words clinical, as though they were discussing a business deal.

Susan bit her lip. Even though she had long decided to end things with him, his coldness still stung.

"Hayden, you're better suited to being an actor," she said, her voice trembling with suppressed tears. In the past, at least he would occasionally feign concern for her. But now that he had secured her shares, he didn't even bother pretending.

"Thanks for the compliment. I've learned a lot from being with you every day," Hayden replied with a cold smile.
