Susan felt a wave of caution surge up, instinctively refusing, "I don't even know you. What could we possibly talk about?"

The man gave a slight smile, taking off his sunglasses to reveal a handsome, gentle face. "After today, you'll know me," he said, nodding politely at Susan. "I might be able to help you find a solution to your troubles. Don't you want to give it a shot?" Susan eyed the unfamiliar face, her heart full of wariness. She unconsciously took a step back, her eyebrows knitting together. "Do you even know what's bothering me?"

"It's all about Casper," the man said, as if he could read her mind, cutting straight to the chase. "I can tell you clearly, Valerie is indeed Eliza. She and Casper were married, and that Brock is their son. It's all true."

Just as she had suspected. Susan felt a mix of disappointment and confusion. But...

How did this man know all this so clearly?

"Who exactly are you?"

"If you want to know who I am, come with me," he invited again.

Susan shook her head, stepping back three times. How could she possibly go with a man whose name she didn't even know? What if he was dangerous? She'd have nowhere to turn for help. "I'm not going anywhere with you."

The man shrugged, looking indifferent. He seemed confident that one day, she would seek him out again. He handed her a slip of paper. "This is my contact info. I think you'll find it useful." Susan didn't want to take it. But... her hand reached out on its own, grabbing the slip of paper. A phone number, but no name.

"You're quite mysterious. Are you Casper's arch-enemy? Do you have a grudge against the Welton family, or is it with Welton International?" Susan speculated.
