Ice-Cold Ceo Crazy Love By Christin Donald ( Edward ) Chapter 307

Chapter 307

After her talk with Ben that night, Susan came to terms with things.

Penny continued to win Susan’s favor, displaying a level of humility that was almost excessive. Susan would attempt to have rational conversations with her, but if persuasion proved ineffective, she

wouldn’t let it bother her.

No matter how diligently Penny looked after her, Susan was aware that in her heart, Penny couldn’t

compare to Theresa, who was miles away, engrossed in her filming commitments.

Theresa was a friend to her.

If Theresa were to betray her, Susan felt she would be devastated.

However, when it came to Penny, it appeared to be of little consequence.

A simple pushback would suffice.

That was the difference.

Susan continued to exhibit this lukewarm disposition, neither overly enthusiastic nor completely ndifferent.

nd Penny, with her keen senses, couldn’t help but notice..

er heart couldn’t help but race.

enny thought to herself, “Why is Susan so hard to deal with?”

he had made every possible effort anyone else would have opened up to her by now.

ut Susan?

though she didn’t reject Penny’s attempts at closeness, it would be an exaggeration to say they were ily close.

True, her relationship with Susan had thawed somewhat.

But for Penny, that was hardly enough.

She hoped Susan would see her as a trusted friend, someone she could rely on like a good luck charm.

At this moment, Penny was filled with regret.

Why had she been so impatient that night, revealing her intentions and making Susan wary of her?

Otherwise, becoming friends with Susan would’ve been so much easier.

Naturally, there’s also the issue of having made a wrong assessment of the situation back then.

She had assumed that, since Susan and Yana were sisters, Susan would display the same impulsiveness that Yana had shown, despite her seemingly perfect exterior.

She didn’t anticipate that Susan and Yana were nothing alike.

The strategies employed with Yana had unintended consequences for Susan, achieving the opposite result.

In the end, the one who couldn’t keep her cool was herself.

Penny’s poor judgment about Susan led her to a significant error, compelling her to alter her course of

action.

Penny took a deep breath.

She had to remain composed. That was absolutely clear.

It was fortunate that she recognized the need for a change in her approach sooner rather than later.

Given her talent for charming people, she couldn’t fathom why she couldn’t earn Susan’s favor.

All she was waiting for was an opportunity.

Chapter 307

A chance to truly earn Susan’s trust.

Penny walled and walted; It had been such a long time.

But the opportunity she craved never came.

And Susan’s heart was like a fortress, always keeping her at a distance.

Eventually, Penny started to feel anxious.

Over time, she noticed Judith and Eason growing increasingly fond of Susan.

If Susan ever told Eason about what happened that month, and if Eason remembered and found out she was the one who hid that test report, she couldn’t bear thinking about how let down he’d be.

Penny was willing to swallow her pride, humble herself, and do whatever it took to stay by Eason’s side.

But she couldn’t bear the thought of him looking at her with disappointment and disgust.

To avoid that, she knew she had to be proactive. She had to replace a way to make Susan willingly help her Cover up what happened that month.

Penny’s goal was clear.

ut Susan’s emotional walls left her unsure of where to start.

enny felt incredibly frustrated.

et, despite the frustration, she had to do what needed to be done.

mat day, Judith and Penny carefully prepared lunch to take to Susan’s office.

er since Susan started working, they hadn’t missed a single day.

san attempted to talk them out of it a few times, but Judith and Penny just turned a deaf ear.

Susan gave up trying to persuade them.

Chapter 307

Around lunchtime in the lounge, Judith watched Susan eating with a contented smile and said, “Enjoy your meal, Susan.”

For decades, Judith had lived a life in a haze.

Now that she had reunited with her daughter, her life finally seemed to have a purpose.

Susan nodded and made an effort to eat, her cheeks bulging slightly with each bite.

As Susan considered reaching for some soup to moisten her meal, the bowl magically appeared in front

of her.

Penny thoughtfully included a straw and handed it over, “Here you go. It’s all set.”

Seeing Penny’s doting behavior, Susan felt a bit out of her element but still graciously accepted the

gesture.

After lunch, Judith and Penny prepared to leave.

“I’ll walk you out,” Susan stood up to say.

“It’s okay. We can make it on our own,” Judith hastily replied.

“Come on,” Susan said, smiling as she gently pulled on Judith’s hand.

Judith’s resolve softened on the spot, leaving her speechless and without any rebuttals.

Their car was parked across the street.

Susan walked them all the way to the other side of the road.

“Okay, Susan, that’s enough,” Judith said with a hint of reluctance, “I’ll swing by after work.”

Okay,” Susan replied with a smile.

Alright, off you go. I’ll keep an eye out until you’re back in the office,” Judith encouraged.

Susan nodded in agreement and turned to head back.

She encountered a green light and proceeded directly across the pedestrian lane.

She hadn’t gone far when sudden danger struckl

Out of nowhere, a car that had been at a standstill suddenly revved up and barreled forward.

Susan, looking ahead, was completely unaware of the peril.

Both Judith and Penny saw it happen.

Judith’s expression changed drastically.

“Susan! Come back!” Judith screamed as she dashed forward.

Huh?

At the sound of Judith’s voice, Susan turned around, a puzzled look on her face.

Just then, the out–of–control car came hurtling directly toward Susan.

udith was panic–stricken, straining with all her might to pull Susan to safety!

ust as she was about to reach Susan, suddenly, someone shoved her hard out of the way.

Pennyl Was she okay?

Across the street, Penny watched the speeding red car, her eyes reflecting a glint of steely calm.

At this distance, she could have easily avoided the car.

But why should she?

A wild look briefly crossed Penny’s face.

Wasn’t this the opportunity she had been waiting for?

Pretending to lose her balance, she fell just at the right moment.

And the car’s tire rolled right over her leg.

The pain was so intense that Penny wished she could pass out right then and there.

Yet, a smile curled at the corner of her mouth.

She knew she had seized her opportunity.

From this day forward, no matter her past wrongdoings,

they were

all erased.

She had won her gamble.
