Susan looked at Carlson and mildly said, ’ Initially I didn't want to explain what had happened at the swimming pool, but I have to explain it now. Because Wanda cares about me and is standing up for me, I don't wish to see her get hurt by a worthless person. Also, it’s because Sara has crossed the line and acted too shamelessly. If I don't explain what happened, then I’ll just be helping the wicked perpetuate wicked deeds."
"Are you going to help Ms. Lane frame me, Ms. Susan?” Sara asked with a fierce countenance.
She could not keep up with her persona anymore because she was on the verge of breaking down.
Susan gave her a contemptuous look and said to Carlson, "First of all, I have to apologize to you for not keeping the black card you gave me well, Mr. Schuman. Ms. Sara taunted me with her status as the future Mrs. Schuman and wanted my black card, so I had no reason to not give it to her. Besides, she’ll soon be Tyler's wife, so it’s reasonable for her to take my card. But I would like to make it clear right now that she doesn't seem to be worthy of carrying the status of Mrs. Schuman."
Carlson's gaze turned austere as he turned to look at Sara.
Susan did not intend to talk more about this matter and started recounting the reason Sara fell into the water. "I have nothing to do with Ms. Sara falling into the pool, but if she insists that I have something to do with it, then my explanation for that is that Ms. Sara tried to attack me but I dodged it. She fell into the pool by accident.”
A baby's cries sounded outside. The nanny carried the child inside.
Susan looked at Tyler and said, "You have the freedom to choose the person you like, and I'm in no position to tell you who to choose. But seeing how I’ve spent years with you, I hope you can hear me out. Sara isn't worthy of becoming Mrs. Schuman. If she does actually become Mrs. Schuman, then there's no guarantee that she won't put the Schuman family at stake."
After saying that, Susan wanted to take care of her baby. She left after saying goodbye to us.
Tyler’s countenance was pale, and his eyes contained a hint of pain.
Sara's eyes were crimson. She held Tyler's arm and continued to put on a pitiful look." I can explain, Tyler. What she said isn't true. I didn't do anything. I'm innocent."
I saw the heartbroken look on Tyler's face when Susan left, and it immediately dawned on me that he didn't care about what Susan did, nor did he care about whether or not Susan lied or why Sara fell into the pool. What he cared about this whole time was Susan's attitude.
