Comeback Of The Adored Heiress
Chapter 634

“Darling, we have issues to address at the company.

Let’s head back.

”

“No, let’s wait a moment,” Esteban replied quietly, taking a seat.

Mara was surprised.

When she came to her senses, she clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her palms.

She had hoped Esteban would be completely disillusioned with Susan and lose all desire to speak with her, but he chose to stay by her side!

Was their family bond that strong? Mara felt a surge of jealousy.

She had always been fond of Esteban, but Susan’s mother had won his affection first.

After Susan’s mother died, though Mara took her place, Esteban’s concern for Susan never waned.

She had no choice but to sabotage Susan, hoping to turn her into a disappointment that would never meet Esteban’s expectations.

Yet, somehow, even without a piano teacher, Susan performed beautifully.

When Esteban complained about Susan’s outdated clothes, he would occasionally ask her to buy new clothes for Susan.

Mara had never intended to buy new clothes for Susan.

Whenever Esteban gave her money, it was always spent on new outfits for Jada.

If Esteban ever asked about it, Mara would simply lie, claiming that Susan had chosen the clothes herself.

With Esteban and Susan rarely speaking, her deceit had gone unnoticed for years.

Now, seeing Esteban still care about Susan so much stirred a deep anger within Mara.

Yet, she saw a silver lining in this unexpected turn of events.

She knew all too well about Susan’s grandfather’s critical condition.

The doctors had made it clear that even with surgery, the odds of survival were slim-only a thirty percent chance of success.

And now, Susan had brought in some unknown doctor to perform the operation, a decision Mara was convinced would lead to disaster.

In Mara’s mind, this was the perfect chance to ensure Susan’s downfall.

When Esteban witnessed the failure with his own eyes, his disappointment in Susan would be inevitable.

So, Mara settled in to wait, though each passing minute frayed her nerves as the anticipation grew.

To Susan, each passing minute felt like an eternity.

The Light above the operating room stubbornly remained on, even as three agonizing hours crawled by.

Her anxiety gnawed at her, twisting her insides with every second that ticked away.

Was Grandpa okay?

Another hour dragged on before the light finally flickered off.

The door creaked open, and the doctor who had entered earlier stepped out, her expression unreadable.

Mara, feigning concern, immediately rushed forward.

“How is he?” she demanded, her voice laced with faux urgency.

But before the doctor could utter a word, her eyes locked onto the figure being wheeled out, a white sheet covering the face.
