Chapter 233

Suzanne raised an eyebrow when she saw the caller ID-Shane. Letting out a slow breath, she leaned back against the driver's seat and picked up the call.

Before she could even speak, Shane's voice came through. "The Lloyds have been hounding me for days. They're offering a fortune for you to treat Todd. What do you think?"

Suzanne paused. It made sense that they'd reach out to Jane. After all, the women Austin had brought in weren't exactly ordinary.

A cold glint flickered in Suzanne's eyes. Without hesitation, she replied, "I'll take the job."

Shane, who had been ready to rant about the Lloyds, choked on his words. He shot up from his office chair, his voice rising. "Are you serious? Are you actually considering working with them? After everything they've done to you?"

He knew exactly how badly the Lloyds had treated Suzanne. Helping them now made no sense. If anything, he had expected her to kick them while they were down, not lift a finger to help.

Shane was fuming, but Suzanne remained calm. She noticed a stray dog crossing the road ahead and gently eased her foot onto the brake, slowing down. "Why wouldn't I take it? They're offering a fortune. And just because I'm taking the job doesn't mean I'm going to make things easy for him."
