Chapter 0043

Susanne supported Patrick as they soaked up the sun in a small square at Belmont Hills.

However, plenty of neighbors were around, pointing and gossiping about them.

“Wow, Susanne! You’re finally out today!” Betty, a woman about Susanne’s age, smirked and spoke with a hint of sarcasm. “I heard your son–in–law is back. Is he staying with you?”

Susanne snorted and could not be bothered to engage with Betty, simply replying, “What does it matter to you? You have no idea how amazing he is!”

Deep down, though, Susanne’s heart was beating fast. Alexander exceeded her expectations lately, and it left her slightly uneasy.

Where did all his money come from? Was he up to something illegal or unethical?

Thus, she decided not to argue back, afraid of making things worse and causing trouble for Amber and Alexander.

“Let’s go home!” The displeased Patrick pulled Susanne to her feet.

“Leaving already? Marriage is such an important thing, and he’s not even throwing a wedding celebration? Why don’t you host a banquet or something?” teased Betty mockingly, completely unfazed. “Oh, what is he doing now again? After being gone for so many years, where’s he working? Does he have a good job?”

Susanne, not in the mood to argue with Betty, snapped, “It’s none of your business!”

Betty chose to ignore her and chuckled mischievously. “Why so serious, Susanne? You think it’s embarrassing too, don’t you?”

Betty was clearly looking for trouble. Neighbors like her could not stand to see others do well. In all of Belmont Hills, Betty was the best at wagging her tongue.

Susanne was furious and glared at Betty.

“Oh, why are you still glaring at me? No matter what you do, you can’t change the fact that you have a worthless son–in–law!”
