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.

Betty, seeing no benefit in further conversation, retreated to the comfort of the York family with disappointment.

A week passed, and the long-awaited DNA test results were finally ready.

Despite mentally preparing herself for the outcome, Suzanne found herself shattered by the reality they revealed.

She stood dumbfounded outside the hospital with tears clouding her vision as she saw the words confirming her lack of biological relation.

The report validated all the suspicions and inconsistencies surrounding her identity.

If she wasn’t Suzanne, then who was she? Where were her true and friends? And what dark motives lay behind the elaborate sch to mold her into Suzanne?

On her ride home in the car, her mind swirled with these unsettling questions. Overwhelmed and unable to unburden herself, she found herself longing for Nathan’s comforting presence.

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