Chapter 405 The Weight of Betrayal

Seeing Susan’s number on the screen, Patrick felt his anger flare instantly.

The moment he answered, before he could even speak, Susan’s voice came through. “I want to see you.”

Her tone was unnervingly calm.

Lately, whether it was about my other family or Lillian, every phone call had been a battle.

But this calmness, how long had it been since we last had such a conversation?

Patrick forced down his anger for the moment, his voice low. “What do you want?”

“Is she at Grandmount Pinnacle?”

Patrick frowned. “What?”

Susan pressed on. “You put that woman in the villa at Grandmount Pinnacle, didn’t you?”

Her tone, which had been oddly composed, shattered into a furious roar.

All the restraint she had struggled to maintain crumbled entirely.

She was shouting through the phone.

Even with the distance between them, Patrick could hear the sheer desperation in her voice–it was as if she wanted to tear someone apart.

Already seething, Patrick was in no mood to listen, especially after being humiliated by Stella Dawson earlier.
