Chapter 1002 A Private Villa

Chapter 1002 A Private Villa

Manuel had no idea what Susan was thinking. Of course, they would come to court unless he was the

heartless type. He nodded heavily and agreed, "Okay."

Susan reluctantly agreed after getting Manuel's satisfactory answer, "Okay then, let Minerva be smug

for a few more days!"

"Let's go," Manuel held Susan carefully in his arms, afraid she might bump into something.

Besse followed in their footsteps. She didn't know why but she liked the feeling of being around them.

She even envied their bubbly relationship despite all the bickering.

The group returned to the garage, where the black car was still parked there. Besse hesitated as she

had just argued fiercely with Oscar earlier on.

She admitted that she lost her temper when Phantom accused her of something and after everything

Oscar did for her, it made her explode instantly.

But with Susan and Manuel's arrival, Besse understood that Oscar only wanted to wait for Susan to

arrive so they could expose Minerva's true colours together. As for how Oscar could help her out of this

mess, she wasn't sure but seeing how confident Susan looked meant that they must have found a

better way to clear her name.

As a result, she misunderstood Oscar and hurt him intentionally but didn't regret it because there were

no feelings between them anyway. Everything she did now was just an attempt to distance themselves

from each other as much as possible without hurting Doyle unfairly.

As Besse struggled with whether or not to get in Oscar's car before leaving the garage area, his black

car had already driven off without waiting for anyone else. He helped make up her mind by making a

choice himself, which left no room for doubt about his intentions towards her.

She thought about finding a place in the Capital, where she could stay temporarily until things cooled

down even if it wasn't perfect or comfortable enough, since such places should be easy to find in such

a big city.

Just as these thoughts crossed Besse's mind, Susan called out loudly form inside their car.

"Besse, come on, get in!"

Besse had been standing outside alone all this time looking bewildered by how friendly yet

presumptuous Susan seemed towards her. Despite feeling surprised by how familiarly close Susan

acted towards her without any prior acquaintance whatsoever, Besse didn't feel offended at all.

"Get in," said Susan again invitingly.

She couldn't resist Susan's enthusiasm, so she got into their car.

"Besse, Oscar just called Manuel and said your case will be in court within a week," Susan said.

Besse was sceptical.

"Oscar said you want to leave Northfield, right?" Susan asked.

Besse pursed her lips and nodded. "Yes, I want to go back." Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

"I understand. Even though you're not Hannah, I still feel sad." Susan sighed. "But I also understand if

it were me, I'd want to go home too."

Besse replied and smiled.

Susan was easygoing and seemed good at comforting people. She gave Besse an out when she

needed it most.

"Where are we going now?" Besse asked.

"Don't you know?" Susan was surprised. "Oscar wants us to take you to his private residence in the

Capital."

Besse frowned.

"Not the place where you stayed last time. Oscar said that wasn't comfortable for you so he arranged

for us to take you somewhere else. It's a villa owned by him with only a few servants there, don't worry

about feeling constrained."

"Thank you," Besse replied politely.

"You should thank Oscar... but never mind, don't thank him because he has ulterior motives..."

"Ahem!" Manuel interrupted Susan's words from beside them.

Besse couldn't help but laugh as she thought about how many messes Manuel would have to clean up

because of her personality alone.

Susan knew what Manuel meant but she simply ignored him and said to Besse, "I'll live with you there

in the following days."

Besse was surprised by what she said, and so was Manuel.

"I only promised you to go to the court..."

"Besse is unfamiliar with the Capital and needs someone around. Don't stop me or else I'll do jump

rope!"

Besse couldn't help but be amused by their talk.

"I'll stay with you." Said Manuel.

"Are you gonna live with two women? Isn't that inconvenient?" Susan refused.

Manuel was a bit mad-it turned out that when he compromised with her, things just got worse.

"Go stay with your cousin, I'll live alone with Besse," Susan said.

"Susan!" Manuel protested.

"I know how to take care of myself. If you're worried, you can hire a couple more servants. This is how

it's going to be." Susan replied firmly without negotiating with him.

Manuel was furious but didn't say anything more as he sat silently in the car.

Susan ignored him and turned to Besse. "Do you mind living with me?"

"I don't mind, but what about your husband?" Besse asked hesitantly.

Susan's lips curled into an evil smile as she leaned in close to Besse's ear like two old friends sharing a

secret. It felt natural for Susan and equally so for Besse who accepted her intimacy without hesitation.

"Just pretend everything is okay," Susan whispered into her ear before breaking out into a radiant smile

that conveyed an unspoken message that only they understood.

Besse wanted desperately not to understand what was happening between them but found it hard not

to when everything was written on Susan's face so clearly.

The car pulled up at a villa located in the suburbs of the Capital, quieter than downtown and more

conducive for living. They laughed and chatted along the way until finally arrived at their destination.

"You don't need to follow us anymore." Once again, Susan spoke sharply towards Manuel as soon as

they got out of the car.

Besse looked back at them and chuckled. Then she followed the servants to get inside the house first,

leaving room for this sweet couple.
