The Wrong Woman

Chapter 58

Suzanne gripped the painting tightly in her hands and glowered at Wendy. Wendy was truly materialistic. She worshiped nothing but money and status.

A shiver ran up Suzanne’s spine the moment her gaze landed on hi handsome face. A wave of anxiety enveloped her heart.

He was a stranger to her. Why was she afraid of him?

Unsettled, Suzanne took a step backward.

Wendy, on the other hand, beamed when she saw the man.

“It’s you, Dr. Hoffis! Did you accompany Sally here?” Wendy asked smilingly.

Wendy reached out to grab it, but Suzanne noticed what she was doing and put the painting behind her, all the while glaring at Wendy.

Wendy said. “I don’t
