The Wrong Woman

Chapter 174

Suzanne supported Betty’s decision to divorce, but she drew the line when it came to providing her a place to stay.

Instead, she encouraged Betty to look for a job, to enrich herself with knowledge and skills, and to become a better self.

Though the sun bathed the outside world in its warm glow, Suzanne’s thoughts churned in turmoil.
