Chapter 119 Mr. Old Smith’s Call
Evan’s eyes lit up, and then he picked up the phone.
“Grandpa.”
Mr. Old Smith’s deep voice came from the other side of the line. “I just saw the news and heard that you’re injured. How are you? Is your injury serious?”
“It’s not serious. Grandpa, don’t worry.”
Evan knew very well that the call was not just to show concern for him, but also to tell him that he and Suzy had been on the news.
Sure enough, Mr. Old Smith continued the next second, “It’s good that you’re all right. By the way, what’s your relationship with that Suzy? Did you not discuss cooperation because she was kidnapped?”
It was Mr. Old Smith who introduced this cooperation to him.
“Mm,” Evan replied.
Mr. Old Smith’s voice suddenly turned cold. “That’s hundreds of millions in profit! Evan, tell me! Did you ask to cancel the engagement with Wendy earlier because of this Suzy?”
Evan’s grip on his phone tightened slightly.
Mr. Old Smith had been already old. He hardly cared about the Smith family anymore.
But he knew very well how cruel and merciless this person had been when he was young.
Evan paused for two seconds and then replied, “I do have something to do with Suzy, but it’s not what you think. I helped her because she is from the Carters family. She knows a lot of inside stories about them.”
Hearing that, Mr. Old Smith on the other side narrowed his eyes. He knew about the feud between Evan and the Carters family.
“You don’t like her?”
“Yes, Grandpa, don’t you know how much I hate the Carters family? She used to be a daughter of theirs. How could I like her?”
“Evan, you”d better not lie to me!” After that, he asked again, “Is there any news about Wendy?”
Evan sighed. “Not yet.”
Mr. Old Smith knew that it was impossible to find her so quickly. Even Wendy’s uncles had no clues yet.
He hung up the phone in disappointment, then immediately called his eldest son, Clifford.
“Hello, Dad.”
Mr. Old Smith asked, “Are you still in Somo City?”
“Yes, what’s wrong?”
“Help me investigate the relationship between Suzy and Evan in private.”
Upon hearing this, Clifford said suspiciously, “Why are you investigating these two? Did they offend you?”
“No, Evan was the fiance I selected for Wendy.”
Wendy’s five uncles didn’t know about this fiance.
Clifford was shocked.
“Fiance?” He cried out in surprise.
Not only had they prepared all kinds of gifts for Wendy, but they had also prepared a fiance for her. Clifford was shocked in his heart.
…
On the other side, Teresa was also in the hospital. She had come over because of the wound on her face.
Now she was looking at Earl in exasperation. “Earl, you should prepare to leave me there without hesitation when Levy told us to die together!”
Hearing this, Earl looked a little embarrassed. “I… The situation was urgent at that time. Teresa, do you want to see me die with you? Besides, we are all fine now.”
What he said made sense. Of course, it was good to be alive.
Teresa thought of what had happened just now. Evan never thought about leaving Suzy.
He was actually thinking of dying with her!
And he was injured for Suzy!
What a touching love!
Teresa’s eyes were full of jealousy. She looked at Earl impatiently and said, “Get out. I don’t want to see you.”
Earl didn’t know what to say.
He left the ward and was going to buy some food for Teresa, but he didn’t expect to see Suzy on the balcony.
She was looking downstairs in a daze. No one knew what she was thinking.
Earl walked over and asked softly, “Is Evan dying?”
A voice came from behind. Suzy was startled and glared at Earl.
“What nonsense are you spouting? He’s fine!”
“Oh, that’s really disappointing. I thought your backing was gone.”
Earl mocked her and was about to go downstairs when Suzy stopped him. “Earl, did you drug my breakfast and kidnap me with Levy?”
After being rescued, Suzy found out everything from Janet.
Now Levy had no money or status. How could he sneak into her crew and drug her breakfast? There must be someone helping him secretly.
A trace of bewilderment flashed through Earl’s eyes when he heard this.
“What are you talking about? I kidnapped you with Levy? My sister was also kidnapped.”
Suzy’s mouth curled into a sarcastic smile. “Don’t deny it. You just didn’t expect that Levy would kidnap Teresa either!”
“Suzy, don’t put the blame on me. I’ve been busy with the company’s affairs and have no time to plot against you. I wouldn’t have had time to come here but for Teresa’s injury on her face…” Earl seemed to remember something and frowned. “Did you send someone to put the peanuts in Teresa’s food?”
Suzy did not respond to Earl. She narrowed her eyes slightly and asked, “Does Rachel’s injury have anything to do with you?”
Earl flew into a rage. “I told you I’m busy and don’t have the time to plot against you!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately realized what Suzy meant. “So, you think that I sent someone to deliberately injure Rachel and put the blame on Teresa?”
Earl raised his hand angrily and planned to slap Suzy.
Upon seeing this, Janet, who had just walked out of the elevator, hastily rushed over.
“Earl, what are you doing?”
Earl fiercely glared at Suzy but didn’t continue attacking. Instead, he said mockingly, “Suzy, have you heard that great winds blow upon high hills? You probably don’t only have enemies from us Carters family right now.”
He snorted and turned to leave.
“Miss Carters, are you all right?”
Suzy shook her head and fell into deep thought.
She knew very well that if it was Earl who did it, he would admit it under such circumstances.
Evidently, the person behind had been making the Carters family a shield the entire time. If it wasn’t for the fact that she had encountered Earl today, she would likely not have realized that there was a treacherous person hiding behind.
This person was also a member of the crew.

“Miss Carters, I bought a lot of food. Mr. Hughes should wake up now, right?”
Janet’s voice interrupted Suzy’s thoughts. When she heard Evan’s name, Suzy’s gaze instantly turned even gloomier. She shoved the bag in her hand to Janet.
“Take this medicine for him. I still have to shoot, so I’ll leave first.”
“Alas… Miss Carters.”
Janet pursed her lips as she watched Suzy leave determinedly. In any case, Mr. Hughes had been injured because of Miss Carters. How could she just leave like this?
