The Divorcee Amazed the World

But slowly, she calmed down. “Willis is the son of the Santana family, and Bruce too. Since Willis isn’t interested in you, marrying Bruce is also an option. He did say he would take responsibility for you, right? Let him be responsible.”

Susan frowned, “But I love Willis.”

“Silly girl, Willis doesn’t love you anymore. There’s no need to insist on him.”

“But Bruce said he has someone in his heart.”

Grace’s expression changed slightly, “Who is the person in his heart?”

“He didn’t say a name, just that she died.”This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Even better, it’s neat if she’s dead. As long as he’s willing to marry you, why bother about so much? After you marry Bruce, both Willis and Helena will have to respectfully call you ‘sister-in-law,’ just think about that satisfaction.”

Susan covered her head, “But…”

“No ‘buts.’ When you’re young, you may think love is greater than the heavens. However, when you reach my age, you’ll realize love is just so-so, and men are all the same.”

Susan fell silent.

She picked up a birth control pill and tried to swallow it.

Grace snatched it away.

“Since you’re going to marry Bruce, why take birth control pills? If you get pregnant, just have the child. It’s better to get married because of a child. I did the same; I got pregnant with you, and your father agreed to marry me.”

Susan hesitated, “What if someone drugged him, and I end up with a deformed child?”

Grace thought for a moment, “It should be fine. I did the same when I got pregnant with you. I secretly drugged your father. Look at how smart and beautiful you are now. At that time, I was worried about the effect on the baby, so I asked several doctors. They all said as long as the man isn’t continuously taking drugs, there won’t be a significant impact, just regular check-ups later on.”

Susan sighed, “But I don’t want to have a child; this is too sudden, I’m only twenty-two.”

“Eventually, you’ll have to have one sooner or later. It’s better to have it early.”

“But I love Willis.”

Grace tapped her forehead with her index finger, “You have a stubborn mind. How can you be so clueless? You’ve slept with Bruce; do you think you still have a chance with Willis? Listen to your mother; I’m speaking from experience. Bruce is not inferior to Willis.”

“Well, alright,” Susan reluctantly agreed.

“In a few days, when your father comes back, we’ll talk to Owen about this. By then, you and Bruce can get engaged and married.”

But Susan couldn’t find any happiness in this.

She was truly troubled.

What kind of situation was this?

She had always liked Willis from childhood, and now she was talking about marriage with Bruce.

They weren’t even that close.

Ten days later.

Owen returned from abroad.

Grace explained the situation to him in detail.

Owen, initially furious, had no other choice but to accept the situation.

They had to go with the flow.

Arrange the wedding for the two as soon as possible.

After a discussion among them, Susan called Bruce, “Bruce, my mom said we should meet tomorrow night to discuss our wedding with our families.”

Bruce’s expression turned cold, “What wedding?”

Susan was surprised, “You said you would take responsibility for me.”

“I said that, but I didn’t say I would marry you.”

“If you don’t marry me, how will you take responsibility for me?”

Bruce lazily said, “I’ll provide the money to help you fix your reputation.”

Susan was infuriated, “Bruce, son of a bitch! Shameless bastard!”

Bruce’s mother, Alva, died in childbirth.

He had never seen his biological mother.

It was a deep scar in his heart.

Insulting his mother was something he couldn’t tolerate.

Susan called him a “son of a bitch!”

When Bruce was in primary school, a kid insulted him, saying he had no mother. On the way home, Bruce confronted him, and the kid ended up with a swollen face, a broken rib, and couldn’t get out of bed for half a month due to pain.

Bruce’s eyes turned cold instantly as he heard Susan’s insults.

He hung up the phone and blocked Susan’s number.

She couldn’t reach him anymore.

Frustrated, she poured out the story to Ryan.

Of course, she exaggerated and added her secret weapon – tears.

As expected, Ryan, after hearing the story, was furious. He immediately called Bruce.

Bruce calmly explained, “I took clients to Tang Palace that day, and someone tampered with the food. I asked my men to find two women to come and provide the antidote. But Susan showed up, deliberately dressed provocatively, touched me, seduced me, and asked me about my preferences in women. I chased her away, but she didn’t leave. During that time, she was quite enthusiastic as well. If you don’t believe me, ask her.”

Ryan couldn’t bring himself to ask such a question.

However, after hearing Bruce’s explanation, Ryan’s anger subsided.

He didn’t seem as furious anymore.

After some contemplation, he said, “Since the die is cast, you two just be together. Pick a date and get engaged.”

Bruce laughed, “Dad, you care a lot about your face. Susan is Willis’s ex-girlfriend, and everyone knows it. Are you not afraid of being laughed at for asking me to marry his ex?”

After hearing Bruce’s words, Ryan fell silent.

It indeed didn’t sound good if this matter spread.

He didn’t want to become the subject of gossip.

Bruce, sensing his father’s silence, played the recorded phone call.

The phone played Susan’s angry voice clearly, “Bruce, you scum! Shameless bastard! Son of a bitch!”

Alva was Ryan’s first love.

She was a figure he held dearly in his heart.

Susan insulted her by calling Bruce a son of a bitch!

Ryan’s impression of Susan deteriorated.

He nonchalantly told Bruce, “Handle it yourself; just don’t let it affect the business cooperation between the Santana and Varley families.”

“You can rest assured, I’ll handle it.”

That day, Susan received a check from Bruce, delivered by his men.

The amount was two million.

There was also a note attached.

The note read: “The top beauty at Tang Palace costs only a few thousand for a night. Giving Susan two million is quite generous. Please take the money and undergo cosmetic surgery to repair your reputation. From now on, we owe each other nothing. You seemed to enjoy that night, didn’t you?”

Susan was infuriated!

Her anger surged!

The hand holding the note trembled incessantly!
