Chapter 293 We Are Not Friends Anymore
“Ingrid, why were you there that day?” Susan asked calmly.
“Oh, I was drunk and felt a little tired that day, so I went to rest. Besides, I also wanted to keep a lookout for you, but I didn’t expect that … I would fall asleep.” As Ingrid spoke, she scratched her hair.”I’m sorry! Right, what happened that day?”
Susan did not speak and only stared at Ingrid, trying to find something from her face.
However, even though Ingrid was being stared at like this, she did not show the slightest bit of discomfort. Her expression was composed, and she even innocently blinked her eyes, looking very puzzled.
“Originally, I wanted to ask you why the paparazzi wire informed to come at ten o’clock but they
arrived at lalf past nine. But now, I don’t think I need to ask anymore,” Susan said lightly after a
while.
“Why?” Ingrid widened her eyes. “They came at half past nine? Why did they come so early?”
“Yeah, why did they come so early?” With a slight smile, Susan lowered her head and said, “Perhaps it’s destiny! Or perhaps, it’s a punishment because I trusted the wrong person.”
“Susan, what’s wrong?”Ingrid held Susan’s hand and asked worriedly.
Susan looked down at her hand and silently pulled it out. She shook her head. “It’s nothing. Ingrid, I only realized today that you are really something, Really! You are much more capable than the Ingrid that I know.”
“What do you mean? What do you mean by the Ingrid that you know? Susan, I don’t understand what you said today.” Ingrid had a pair of big round watery eyes. She would make people feel like
she was innocent.
Ingrid blinked, innocent and puzzled, her eyes full of confusion.
Sighing faintly, Susan said, “It doesn’t matter if you understand or not. I already have the answer I want. Anyway, I’m going to leave this place. To you, I don’t have much value anymore. Take care of yourself!
“He let me go once, and I will let you go this time. However, it is hard to say whether lie will let you Lo or not.”
After saying that, Susan stood up.
“Susan…”Grabbin: her wrist. Ingrid looked up at her. “What are you talking about? What do you mean by not letting go? What’s wrong with you? I’m so worried about you!”
“Enough, Ingrid!”
Susan couldn’t take it anymore and forcefully shook Ingrid off. Susan was very angry. “Since I’ve already said it, why don’t you drop your act? Don’t think that you’re very smart and you are good at scheming. Let me tell you. He knows everything I’ve done, including you and everything we’ve done! He has already seen through it. We are simply no match for him. I’m not his match. Neither are you!”
“Susan, why are you saying such things? Aren’t we friends?” Ingrid also stood up. She said in a sincere manner.
“Friends?” Susan sneered and said, “From today onwards, we are not friends anymore.”
Susan strode outside. Perhaps Hannah had heard the sound of a quarrel, she came out from inside and happened to see Susan walking out. “Susan, why did you leave? Why don’t you stay for a while longer? Susan?”
Susan gave a slight nod before leaving without looking back.
Unable to stop Susan, Hannah tumed to look at hertughter”What’s wrong with you?” Hannah asked with confusion
“It’s nothing Maybe she is in a budmood Mandidat you Sy you were oing to make desserts?”
Ingrid smiled and walked over.
“You’re such a toodie Aren’t you afraid of getting at Although Hannah said this, she still waved her hand and asked the servant to bring the desserts that she had prepared “By the way, last time you said that you already have a boyfriend. Who is he? Why didn’t you bring him here?”
“We broke up.” Ingrid replied nonchalantly
Hannah was stunned. “Broke up? Why did you break up so easily? Didn’t you say you were going to bring him here…”
“When young people are in a relationship, it’s normal for us to break up if we don’t think it’s working out between us!” Ingrid waved her hand and said disapprovingly. “Mom, don’t worry. I will definitely find you the best son-in-law!”
Seeing that Ingrid did not care, Hannah sighed, “How can I not worry? Your father will take that woman and…”
Hannah didn’t finish her sentence, and it seemed that she was very worried.
Ingrid stopped eating and turned to look at her mother. “Is my father really going to take that woman in? Did my uncle agree? How can my father do this?”
“Now your father is determined. No one can change his mind.” At the mention of this, Hannah, who was always decisive, also showed a sad look. “It’s my fault that I didn’t give birth to a son…”
“So what?” Ingrid suddenly became angry. “My uncle has a son. Can he inherit the family businn?
I have done so many things in the company over the years. Why am I inferior to men? Is that illegitimate son more capable than me?…”
“Ingrid!”
Hannah called Ingrid’s name softly and looked at her in surprise. Hannah had probably never seen Ingrid like this before.
It brought Ingrid back to her senses and she cleared her throat. “I mean, this is not your fault. If you want to blame someone, blame my dad. He is the one who has let you down.”
Looking at Ingrid affectionately, Hannah reached out to pull Ingrid into her arms and gently stroked her hair with one hand. “Mom knows that you are capable and sensible. It’s my fault that you are not a boy. Otherwise, everything in the Petersen family is yours.”
“Mom, why can’t a woman inherit the family business? Is it because I’m a woman that everything in the Petersen family has to be given to that illegitimate son? Why?” Ingrid slowly raised her head. There was some light flashing across her eyes, which Hannah had never seen before.
Hannah was pretty shocked, but at the same time, she was a little hesitant because of what Ingrid said. “What you said is right, but your father…”
“Mom, what will Dad do if he doesn’t have that illegitimate son?” Ingrid suddenly asked.
“Ingrid, what are you going to do?” Hannah suddenly felt a chill. Looking at her daughter, Hannah felt that she didn’t know Ingrid at all.
“Nothing, I was just asking. What can I do? I’m just a girl.”
Ingrid stuck her tongue out at her mother. She released her hand and continued eating,
Hannah looked at Ingrid while Ingrid was eating leisurely. It seemed that Ingrid was no different from usual. However, as Ingrid ate, she suddenly stopped and said thoughtfully, “I read a book that day and said that there were people who died in accidents every day in this world. The proportion of people who died in accidents is very high. Do you think the woman and her illegitimate son would also happen in this proportion?”
