Chapter 1725


    "Wait here for a bit, alright? Let thest visitor leave before you go in," the officer instructed


    Thssa, guiding her to sit on a bench outside the visitor''s room.


    Thssa nodded, and the officer hurried off to attend to other duties.


    She found herself sitting against the wall, pondering curiously. Susan had no known family left in the


    world. Who could possibly know she was locked up here, looking to have a word with her?


    Driven by curiosity, Thssa leaned closer to the wall, hoping to catch a snippet of the conversation


    from the other side.


    Indeed, muffled voices seeped through, the wall''s instion leaving much to be desired.


    "Callum, you''ve deceived me again!" Susan''s voice,den with anger, reverberated.


    Callum? He came back to see Susan?


    At the mention of that name, Thssa felt a pang of curiosity. She hadn''t expected Callum to be the


    visitor.


    "I haven''t lied to you," Callum responded, his tone calm.


    "Not lied? It was you who convinced me toe back, arranged for me to model at the jewelry


    competition. You''re the one who had me switch Thssa''s designs, assuring me the surveince


    was wiped and all I had to do was use Thssa of fraud on stage! But then you turned the


    tables on me, showing Thssa''s original work and ying the surveince for all to see. You set


    me up to be jailed, didn''t you?" Susan''s voice trembled with fury, demanding answers from Callum.


    Originally, when she had kidnapped Thssa but failed to kill her, it was Callum who had arranged


    for her toy low abroad. Though life had been tough overseas, it was safe. Suddenly, Callum had


    someone bring her back, promising a return to her modeling career and a shot at a normal life.


    After years of living in exile, constantly on the run and despised, Susan was fed up. But even worse


    was the discrimination and rejection she faced abroad.


    It was this intolerance that had driven Susan to agree to return, only to find herself trapped by


    Callum once more.


    Instead of starting anew, she was now behind bars.


    "Your visa was expired anyway. Even if you hadn''te back, you''d have been deported right into


    Lysander''s hands. Do you think you''d stand a chance of surviving once Lysander got hold of you?"


    Callum''s voice was chilling.

    Susan scoffed, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Callum, after all this effort, isn''t it just to show off


    to Thssa, make her feel indebted to you, so you can swoop in and y the hero? So, did you


    confess your love to her after leaving the station? Did she ept you?"


    "Whether she epts me or not is between us, and it''s none of your business!" Callum struggled to


    contain his anger.


    "Is that so? Then why use me? Callum, I''m not a tool for your pursuit of Thssa. You better find a


    way to get me out of here. Otherwise, I can''t guarantee I won''t spill about the discord you sowed


    between Thssa and Lysander three years ago," Susan''s eyes darkened with malice.


    Thssa''s grip tightened, her body tense.


    The content of this dialogue both shocked and chilled her.


    "Who would believe the word of a lunatic!" Callum bit back.


    "A lunatic? I''m far from it. I remember everything about what happened. Have you forgotten, Mr.


    Gordon? Maybe I should jog your memory?" Susan''s voice wasced with a coldugh.


    Thssa''s eyes widened, her ear pressed against the wall, listening intently.


    What exactly had Callum done three years ago?
