Chapter 532: Chapter 532 Susana’s Memory (1)

The room was quiet.

If not for the light fragrance left on the pillow, it would seem that no one had come here before and that Susana was alone.

Susana slowly turned around and reached out to the sunken part of the sheet where Marlon had just slept. She then slowly clasped her two palms together.

It looked like she was holding him.

Gradually, Susana’s palms got cooler, and the sadness in her heart began to spread throughout her body.

Memories flooded over her head like a tide, and she drowned in the memory of the past again.

Susana had a happy childhood.

Her family was not that rich, but it was good enough to give her a carefree and happy life.

Susana’s father, Eric Bard, used to be a senior executive of a big company, and Kamila worked in the finance department of the same company. After Susana was born, Kamila was afraid that she could not take good care of Susana, so she hired a nanny.

It was not difficult for Susana’s parents to pay a nanny since they had considerable revenue.

However, the good times would not last long. Kamila was fancied by another senior executive and sexually harassed by that man many times. Because they worked in the same company, and the offender was a leader, Kamila did not dare to tell anyone and had to manage to put up with him.

Seeing that Kamila dared not to resist, the senior executive pushed his luck and tried to inebriate Kamila so as to sexually assault her.

Kamila struggled to break free and locked herself in the bathroom to call Eric. Eric quickly arrived. He didn’t care if the offender was a leader or not. Since that man dared to touch Kamila, Eric would not spare him.

It was quite big news at that time. Eric called the police. However, due to the lack of surveillance cameras in the hotel and the fact that Kamila was that man’s subordinate and she wasn’t hurt physically, that man wasn’t convicted.

Afterward, the leaders of the company talked to Eric and Kamila separately. They made it clear that the man Eric beat up was a relative of the CEO. Since they had no solid evidence, it was unnecessary for them to make it big. If the couple still wanted to work in the company, they had to dismiss the case and apologize to that man.

They would persuade the higher-ups to stop investigating this matter.

Eric didn’t expect that they would turn from the victim to the calumniators.

Of course, he didn’t agree, but Kamila knew the stakes and how narrow-minded that man was. If they quit, that man would definitely ruin their reputations.

In addition, the CEO repeatedly promised that he would transfer Kamila to another position so that she wouldn’t need to have connections with that man again.

Therefore, Kamila agreed to dismiss the case, but she would never apologize because they did nothing wrong, and they absolutely would not admit anything they didn’t do.

The company had no choice but to accept it, and this incident was covered up.

But soon, the offender began to retaliate. First, the project that Eric was responsible for went wrong, and then Kamila was investigated and involved in corruption. Eric’s problem was more serious because his mistake caused a worker to get killed in a fall.

Both of them were expelled, and the company also issued a statement, which had them rejected by other companies.

Because of this, Eric became depressed and got drunk every night.

After getting drunk, he would beat Kamila and scold her, saying that it was all because of her, otherwise, he wouldn’t end up like this.

At that time, Susana was less than five years old, and every day she had to watch Kamila being beaten up by Eric.

In order to support the family, Kamila had to let go of her dignity. She had worked in a restaurant as a dishwasher and also as a street cleaner.

She was afraid that Susana would be beaten up by Eric when he got drunk. So she brought Susana with her wherever she went.

Susana was sensible and would wait for Kamila until Kamila finished her work.

Later, Eric drank too much and fell into the river, drowning to death.

Eric left nothing but debt to Kamila when he died. He mortgaged the house and took a loan, saying that he was going to start a business. But in the end, he spent all the money on alcohol.

Kamila had no choice but to sell the house to pay off the debts. The senior executive who had harassed Kamila before began to pester her again after knowing that Eric died. He used all sorts of methods to force Kamila.

Kamila had no choice but to try her luck with a business card given by a noble lady, and that noble lady was Yvette’s mother, Alena.

After Alena learned about Kamila’s predicament, she invited Kamila to go abroad with her. And Susana could also be Yvette’s friend.

From then on, Susana stayed with the Lynn family and began a new life.

The Lynn family was very kind to them. Susana and Yvette soon became good friends.

Susana thought that life would be happy and peaceful until Alena’s and Yvette’s sudden disappearance cast a shadow over the whole Lynn family.

Because Kamila was brought back by Alena, when Kamila proposed to leave, Zachery asked her to stay and continue to work in the Lynn family.

Kamila was rather meticulous, so Zachery asked her to be in charge of some housekeeper things.

Susana lived with Kamila in the housekeeper’s room. Marlon also became dispirited because of the disappearance of his sister and mother.

After being lectured by Zachery, Marlon rebuilt himself again. He started to learn more to enrich himself and make himself stronger so that he could find Alena and Yvette as soon as possible.

Since she was a child, Susana knew that Marlon would get up early and go to bed late at night every day. In her heart, Marlon was more like a deity.

Besides, Marlon was particularly gentle, and he was always polite to her and Kamila.

At that time, Susana could not tell if he treated her as his sister.

Gradually, Marlon grew up into a young man. He began to socialize more often and sometimes came home drunk.

Marlon was quiet and always fell asleep when he got drunk. He wouldn’t beat or scold anyone, and he never made a scene.

Every time, Susana would bring him a glass of warm water and put it on the bedside table.

When Marlon saw her, he would smile with relief, "You have grown up, little Susana. Thank you for the water."

Marlon didn’t look as energetic as a young person should be. Susana knew that he must have been exhausted from work. In order to reach his goal, he had put in more than ten times the effort of ordinary people.

She hesitated and said, "Mr. Lynn, don’t work so hard. I believe you will definitely find your mother and sister one day."

Marlon lowered his eyes and chuckled. "I hope so."

When Susana saw the look on his face, for the first time, she suddenly felt a slight pain in her heart.

She suddenly wanted to reach out to smooth his frown.

But in the end, she still did not dare to reach out.

After a pause, she said firmly, "Mr. Lynn, I will also work hard."

Marlon rubbed his temples with his slender and beautiful fingers and smiled, "Do you have dreams?"

"You are my dream, Mr. Lynn!" Susana mustered her courage and blurted out.

Marlon was stunned for a second.

Susana became timid again. She lowered her eyes slightly and whispered, "I want you to be happy, Mr. Lynn. I want to be strong enough to help you find your mother and sister."

There was no light in the room, only the yellow dim light from the skirting line heater lit up her side face.

Marlon cracked a smile. For the first time in so many days, he revealed a sincere smile.

He sat up to be level with Susana. Then he reached out to rub her hair and said gently, "Susana, thank you. But I hope you focus on your studies and do what you really want to do. You have your own life, and you don’t have to bear any burden for others. Understand?"

Susana did not fully understand what he meant. But under the dim light, when she saw Marlon’s handsome face and heard his gentle voice, she suddenly understood what it meant when people said they were enchanted.

Marlon leaned back and said tiredly, "Go back to bed, or you won’t grow taller."

Susana nodded. She walked out of the room and looked back again.

Marlon’s shirt was not buttoned. The collar was casually pulled open, revealing his delicate collarbone.

No matter what posture he made, he was always attractive.

Susana felt that her worship of Marlon seemed to have changed.

Gradually, she became greedy.

She knew that it was impossible, but she couldn’t stop herself from having the same thought.

One day, a paper she hid in the book fell to the ground and was picked up by Kamila.

After reading what the paper said, Kamila was shocked. For the first time, she argued with Susana and even gave Susana a slap.

Kamila was also shocked by what she did to Susana. She felt sorrier for her daughter.

Kamila sat on her heels and pointed at the love letter. "Susana, we have to know our places. Mrs. Lynn kindly took us in and Mr. Lynn supported your education. But you can never have any feelings for Marlon. Do you understand?"

Susana was not convinced. Her face was red and swollen as she cried, "Why? I like him. Why can’t I like him?"

Kamila was so angry that she covered her chest with one hand and said hoarsely, "Do you want others to judge us and say that we had ulterior motives? Who are we? And who is Marlon? Do you think people like them can really have a romantic relationship with you?"

Susana was stunned and did not know how to answer.

Zachery was so kind to them that Susana forgot that there was a great difference between her and the Lynn family.

Kamila tore the paper into pieces, shattering Susana’s hope.

She said word by word, "Mr. Lynn and Mrs. Lynn are good to us. Remember, we can’t do anything to let them down!"

Susana ran out of the room crying. Just as she went out, she heard the driver, Roger Field, say that Marlon got drunk in the bar and was injured.

Susana was so worried about Marlon that she begged Roger to take her with him.

Roger knew that Susana was close to Marlon, so he agreed without thinking much of it.

When they arrived at the bar, Roger asked Susana to wait in the car. But he did not come back for a long time.

Out of worry, Susana got out of the car and went into the bar.

As soon as she stepped in, she heard ear-piercing music. Susana had never been to the bar before. The smoke inside made her choke and unable to open her eyes.

After getting in, she was stopped by a man with dreadlocks. "Girl, you alone?"

Susana ignored him and tried to walk away, but he didn’t let her go.

"Don’t go, girl."

He sized Susana up and down. Susana’s student uniform looked a bit strange in this place, but it also made her look pure and pretty.

"Look at you. Is this your first time here? How about I show you around?"

As he spoke, the man tried to put his hand on Susana’s shoulder.

Susana ran away. But the man followed behind and tried to find her out.

She had to hide in an empty private room. When she looked around at the decoration of the room, she remembered that when Marlon couldn’t text her back, he would always send her a picture to tell her that he was in a social engagement.

This private room looked very similar to the one in the picture. So Susana peeked through every room one by one through the door crack.

Finally, she saw Marlon lying on the sofa in a private room.

She hurriedly pushed the door open and found that his forehead was bleeding. It seemed that he had fought with someone.

Susana was flustered. She stepped forward and held Marlon’s hand. "Mr. Lynn! Mr. Lynn, what’s going on?"

Before she could finish speaking, Marlon suddenly opened his eyes. Because of the alcohol or something else, his eyes were bloodshot, which made him look like a devil.

Susana was shocked and murmured, "Mr. Lynn..."

However, Marlon reached out and pulled her over. Susana fell into his arms. Then, he planted a warm kiss on her lips.

Susana widened her eyes and could not make any reaction at all.

She was already eighteen, but she had never ever held a man’s hand, let alone had a kiss.

Susana was not stupid, and she knew that Marlon was drunk.

He might not want to do this. This kiss was just the side effect of taking alcohol.

Susana thought of what Kamila had said and hurriedly pushed him away. She called out, "Mr. Lynn, look at me..."

Marlon leaned back slightly and frowned as he stared at her. "Susana?"

Susana was held too tightly by him, and she managed to nod and say, "Mr. Lynn, let’s go home."

Marlon didn’t look as sober and rational as he had always been. He pinched her chin and said softly.

"Help me, Susie."

Hearing this, Susana felt as if something had exploded in her brain.

Because Marlon would never call her "Susie" when he was sober.

But Susana dared not to think that it was because Marlon also had special feelings for her.

Even if she had prayed for it a hundred times in her heart, she knew it would never happen.

Marlon lowered his lips again, sucking her small earlobe. The atmosphere seemed to suddenly change.

Susana’s cheeks were red, her vision got blurred. She could not say anything to refuse him.

Because it was Marlon, no matter what he wanted to do, she would let him be.

It was not as pleasant as the kiss. Marlon didn’t kiss her for long and could not wait to get into her.

He looked strange, and his whole body was burning like fire.

Susana instantly cried in pain.

As their sweat mixed, Marlon didn’t stop his moves. He could not notice how Susana felt and was eager to vent his desire.

When it was over, Susana rested her head on Marlon’s arm and fainted from the pain.

When she woke up again, Susana moved stiffly and felt sore all over. Accidentally, she woke Marlon up.

Marlon was at a loss for a moment, as if he didn’t know what was going on.

Susana pulled up her shirt and sat up, exhausted. She muttered, "Mr. Lynn..."

Marlon frowned and rubbed his temple hard. The hangover made him very tired.

When he saw the woman clearly in front of him, his face instantly darkened and he said coldly, "What are you doing here?"
