Chapter 116 Some People Just Need a Lesson
Susanna paused for a moment. She couldn't say that she was delayed because she went to a private hospital to visit Maria.
She pretended to be calm and replied, "The traffic was too busy. I should have taken the subway instead of a taxi."
"A taxi is fine. Even if there's traffic congestion, you can relax in the car. There are so many people on the subway, what if you get squeezed?"
Austin has always been worried about Susanna's situation, after all, only he knew that Susanna was pregnant.
Susanna knew that Austin was worried that she, as a pregnant woman, needed to be more careful.
They glanced at each other, understanding the meaning of each other.
After finishing the meal, Susanna was very satisfied.
She found that she actually liked the life of being together as a family.
In the future, the house will only be more lively with the baby's coming.
After things here being settled down, she planned to go back to Novaria to have the baby and then settle there.
After chatting for a while after dinner, Susanna couldn't help but yawn. Lately, she had been feeling a bit sleepy.
Austin noticed and quickly stood up, saying, "It's getting late, everyone should rest early."
The Main reason was that they shouldn't disturb Susanna, who was already pregnant, from resting.
All brothers left together, since they still had to discuss Erica's matters when backed home.
Once they left, the hall quickly returned to its quiet state.
Madison held her hand and said, "Susanna, you should save it when get the compensation."
Susanna refused quickly, saying, "No, it is your money, I can't take it. Besides, Vincent also needs money at the hospital."
"Didn't your brother pay Vincent's medical expenses for ten years? It's your choice to take it whether for starting a business or saving it in a fixed deposit. I'm afraid I'll get confused holding this money. Now my parents also know that I received compensation, they even called me to go back and visit," Madison replied.
Susanna knew what kind of people Madison's parents were. When Vincent had a car accident and needed money, her parents didn't give a penny, and even instigated Madison to divorce and sell the house directly for money.
In short, Madison's maternal family is not good people.
Susanna consented. "Alright, I'll hold onto the money for you, I'll give it back to you if you need anything in the future."
Susanna accepted the money on behalf of Madison, to be used for her retirement in the future.
After washing up at night, she lay in bed and touched her abdomen. It seemed that her belly was already slightly bulging.
At that moment, her phone rang.
It was Dick calling.
Susanna remembered sneaking away in the afternoon and felt a little guilty. She answered the phone, asking, "Are you just getting off work now?"
Answered Dick. "Yeah, we were busy and just finished dinner. We are taking a break, after all, tomorrow is the wedding, and many details need to be checked to avoid running out of time tomorrow."
Susanna felt even more guilty. "I'm sorry, I should have stayed late with you today."
"It's okay, it is understandable that something urgent occurred at home. Now all the colleagues know that you received compensation from the government. Remember to treat everyone to a meal."
Susanna forced a faint smile, answering, "Of course."
"Oh, Susanna, since everything at your home is settled, you have to come to the engagement venue tomorrow."
Susanna knew that Erica was involved in this matter. She was really scheming, actually daring to ask her to come to the wedding venue.
Did Erica feel free because she had known that she didn't intervene in the wedding layout?
"Susanna, do you not want to come?" Dick interrupted her thought and asked.
Hearing his voice, Susanna hesitated for a moment. "I think you've already arranged everything very well. I'll just be on duty at the studio tomorrow."
"No, Susanna, you are the designer of this activity. You should come to oversee the engagement venue. And Ms. Jones wants to thank you in person. You have to come over, no matter what, so we can explain to our studio over here."
With the conversation reaching to this point, Susanna really didn't know how to refuse.
"Susanna, do you and Mrs. Jones have a history, or any grudges?" Dick asked.
Susanna answered without hesitation, "No, we don't know each other."
Susanna immediately denied it. She didn't want to bring up past events that would affect her current life.
In the end, she reluctantly agreed. "Okay, I'll come to oversee the wedding venue tomorrow."
"Alright, remember to come early and don't be late. Rest early."
After hanging up, Susanna was a bit angry.
That slut, Erica!
Erica must want to disgust her deliberately, which was why Dick insisted that she must come to the wedding venue tomorrow!
She couldn't explain it if she didn't show up.
But if she showed up, she would have to see her ex-husband Aaron, who was about to be engaged to his mistress Erica, at the engagement venue she personally designed!
Just thinking about it made her feel unwilling!
She must vent her anger.
Susanna went online and posted: [I'm a wedding designer. I received the engagement invitation of my ex-husband and his mistress. Now his mistress is demanding that my company requires me to attend the wedding tomorrow. I'm just a humble worker and can't refuse the boss's request. What should I do when I go to the engagement venue tomorrow? I'm online waiting, quite urgent!]
She just wanted an outlet to vent, but in just a minute, there were over a thousand comments.
[I suggest you take a bomb to the venue and blow them up directly, forget about work.]
[You're in a tough spot, I hope you're not fabricating information for attention. I'm waiting for your updates.]
[You can bring a gift, like a Standing Spray for a funeral, or a sign indicating your ex-husband's affair.]
Many people were discussing in the comments section, and a heated argument broke out over gender issues.
However, Susanna saw a highly liked reply, sending a Standing Spray?
That seemed like a good idea.
After all, the entire theme of tomorrow's engagement venue was decorated with flowers. It would be fantastic if she decorated with some white roses.
Susanna immediately took out her phone and ordered flowers.
Since her warning to Erica during the day didn't work, she decided to accept this gift.
If she made her feel uncomfortable, then no one should expect to be comfortable!
Susanna touched her abdomen and went to bed.
The next day, Susanna woke up very early, being extremely excited probably because she knew she was starting her plan today and.
She had never made trouble from childhood to adulthood!
After getting ready, she came out, and Madison was sitting on the sofa. "Susanna, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, I'm going to work."
After leaving the house, Susanna called the owner of flower shop and asked them to deliver the 'gift' to Erica's engagement ceremony at a certain time.
As the designer of the engagement banquet, she knew the schedule and understood that delivering the gift at the right moment would have the greatest impact. Anyway, she didn't care about being retaliated against.
She clicked the work group and saw the photos shared by everyone in the group of the engagement venue.
After leaving the community, Susanna saw Grace and Andrew coming aggressively, shouting, "Susanna, stop right there! If you don't give us the money today, you're not going anywhere!"
