Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Chapter 304

Susan couldn’t help but chuckle.

She faced Penny with a serene expression, “Don’t fret. I’m not planning on going back to the royals. So, there’s no chance for anyone to mock me.”

“Susan…” Judith went white, looking like she’d been sucker–punched.

Judith was convinced that with her genuine intentions, Susan would come around to acknowledging her eventually.

But did‘ Susan’s words really mean she was cutting ties with them for good?

For a moment, Judith felt somewhat dispirited.

Seeing this, Penny became slightly uneasy.

Susan was really in a league of her own.

It wasn’t that she was unwilling to rejoin the royal ranks; it was clearly a tactical withdrawal.

With these words, Susan was really putting her on the spot. If Judith started to believe she was the reason for Susan’s reluctance to come back, wouldn’t that render all her years of effort meaningless?

No, she wouldn’t let Susan pull her strings.

Penny bit her lip and spoke softly, “Mrs. Landor, let’s not be hasty with words in the heat of the moment. Whether or not you plan to rejoin the royal ranks, as the wife of the wealthiest man around, it’s important to stay informed. You wouldn’t want to embarrass Mr. Landor, would you?”

Penny first categorized Susan’s words as spoken in anger, then dragged Ben into the mix, aiming to confuse the situation.

Susan blinked and then looked over at Ben, “You don’t think I’d make a fool of you, do you?”

Ben wrapped an arm around her with a laugh and said casually, “Of course not! You’ve just made us billions. If I dared complain about you, the board would probably boot me out.”

Ben glanced at Penny with a playful look, “Susan’s artificial intelligence project just got stamped with an S–level for super–secret by the government and is branching out into all sorts of areas. Even Tonico’s bigwigs shot us a letter a while back, itching for a top–tier collaboration. So, Miss Nicholas, got any

piano accolades that can top that?”

Penny was stunned for a moment, her face turning slightly sour, “I…”

Susan’s status as Mrs. Landor was too high–profile; it slipped her mind that Susan had racked up such accomplishments.

Penny found her words with effort, “Playing the piano refines your sensibilities. It’s a world apart from pursuits reeking of money.”

“Oh? Is this refined attitude of Miss Nicholas the result of polishing up your sensibilities?” Ben let out a sigh, “Now you’ve got me wondering what Miss Nicholas used to be like.”

Most of the time, Ben was very calm, but once he started his sharp–tongued mockery, not everyone. could bear it.
