Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Chapter 240

Theresa gaped at Susan’s radiant face and then noticed the various marks on her neck, which left her stunned.

“Theresa, are we having breakfast? I’ll just be a sec.”

As Susan spoke.

Theresa pushed her into the room

Then, she slammed the door shut.

Susan looked at her, puzzled.

Theresa’s voice dropped to a whisper, “Susan, how could you not resist!”

Susan was speechless again.

Theresa became more frantic. “Don’t panic. There’s still time to fix this. Just tell me who was with you last night, III pay him off to keep his mouth shut. Then, you need to fly back home and pretend like nothing happened”

Susan was speechless again

She seemed to understand a little.

Susan cleared her throat, attempting to clarify.

Theresa waved her hand dismissively. “I know, you’re embarrassed to have me foot the bill. But trust me, it’s better to run this through my accounts. They’re harder to trace. I’ll keep your secret, no doubt

about it. But you have to think about how you’re going to deal with Mr. Landor. Whether to come clean or keep it hidden. My advice would

As Theresa was talking, Ben appeared

He looked at Theresa, with his expression unreadable. “So, what’s your advice?”

Theresa was speechless

She stiffened up in an instant

What was going on?

How did Ben end up here?

Theresa numbly glanced at Susan “Why didn’t you say something?”

Susan was at a loss. “I wanted to, but there was never a good moment.”

Theresa felt like she could die of embarrassment.

What had she done!

She was advising Susan on how to cover up an affair right in front of Ben?

Theresa offered an awkward smile and began to inch backward.

Finally, she retreated to the door. She quickly opened the door and jumped out.

“It’s all a misunderstanding, Mr. Landor, just a big misunderstanding.” Theresa blurted out before shutting the door and making a quick escape.

At the doorway.

Thomas watched Theresa with a schadenfreude–laden expression on his face.

Theresa, having just wiped off sweat, caught sight of his infuriating smirk and instantly felt her blood boil.

“You knew Ben was coming, that’s why you insisted on Susan staying in her own room last night, right?” Theresa ground out through clenched teeth. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

“Yeah.” Thomas admitted without hesitation.

“So why did you just…” Theresa took a deep breath to calm herself and continued, “Why didn’t you stop me?”

“I did try to stop you, but couldn’t hold you back,” Thomas said with a sly grin.

“Great, just great.” Theresa glared at him, already imagining various scenes of Thomas being deep– fried in her

head.

“Of course, I’m great,” Thomas responded nonchalantly.

At that moment, Henri, a famous actor, happened to open the door.

Theresa’s eyes flickered with an idea, and she deliberately bumped into Thomas’s hand before falling to the

ground.

Thomas was speechless.

Theresa started crying as if she was the heroine of a tragic play. “Thomas, what are you doing? I really don’t know where the person you’re looking for is! Even if you push me, or beat me to death, I still wouldn’t know!”

Thomas was speechless.

Wait a minute, this scene seemed strangely familiar!

Henri saw Theresa on the ground, crying pitifully. His protective instincts kicked in, and his gaze towards Thomas turned sharp.

He went over to help Theresa up and then glared at Thomas. “Why would you bully a woman like that? Are you even a man?”

Thomas was speechless.

Theresa wiped her tears. “It’s okay. He didn’t mean it.”

Thomas’s gaze darkened.

Was she playing him?

He remembered Monica pulling similar stunts before.

Back then, he was too concerned about her to notice.

But seeing Theresa’s quick change of tactics, the image of Monica in his heart crumbled a bit more.

As for Theresa.

She was blatantly trying to frame him.

But Thomas found himself amused instead of angry.

Did she really think she could get the better of him this way?

Thomas immediately put on an apologetic expression. “I’m so sorry, I was just too hasty and forgot about Rose’s leg injury. I might have pushed a bit too hard. Rose, I am truly sorry. Is there any chance you could give me an opportunity to make it up to you?”

Theresa narrowed her eyes.

Well, well.

Thomas wasn’t going to be easy to deal with.

She smiled gently. “What’s there to make up for? It’s just a trivial matter.”

“How can this be a trivial matter? Since Rose has hurt her leg, I’ll be your legs for the entire day, Thomas said decisively. He walked over, scooped Theresa up in a princess carry, and lifted her off the ground.

Theresa stared at him with her mouth agape.

“Please accept my apology,” Thomas said, his voice soft, but his eyes gleamed with a hint of challenge.

Theresa suddenly smiled. “Then please do me the favor. I’ve got a sudden craving for pan–fried buns. There’s a

Coraland breakfast joint about two miles from here. Carry me there.”

Thomas was speechless.

Thomas was momentarily silent. “Don’t go overboard.”

“Is it too far?” Theresa’s voice suddenly grew louder. “Then never mind, you don’t have to make it up to me.”

“Let’s go! I’ll carry you there!” Thomas gritted his teeth and strode out with Theresa in his arms.

Henri was speechless.

Hmm… what was his role in all this?

Was he just pulled out to be a prop in their drama?

Although he was somewhat baffled.

But Henri looked at the hand he had just used to help Theresa up, a hint of amusement in his eyes.

He had been in the entertainment industry for quite a while.

But a natural beauty like Rose was truly a rare find.

Especially since this time, they were scheduled for a four–month closed sel filming.

And among the actors, it was only the two of them, a man and a woman.

Though he a and children, playing a couple on set was no big deal, right?

Henri thought so, feeling a certain warmth spreading through him.

Rose, right?

She would be his sooner or later.

When Ben and Susan were ready to come out.

Thomas and Theresa were already gone.

Susan made a call, and Theresa told them to enjoy their couple’s time and not to disturb them, then hastily hung

Susan faintly heard Thomas’s voice in the background.

She couldn’t help but smile.

“I think, this pair might just work out,” Susan said.

Ben raised an eyebrow. “We’ll see.”

He affectionately ruffled Susan’s hair and said indulgently, “Let’s go, time for breakfast.”

“Okay,” Susan said with a smile, linking her arm with his.

The two of them walked hand in hand to the hotel’s restaurant.

There were all kinds of breakfasts on the table in the restaurant.

“Not bad. There’s quite a selection of French breakfast options,” Ben said.

“This hotel is mostly occupied by our crew now; it must be something Mr. Witt arranged specifically,” Susan said as they chatted.

As they were talking.

Suddenly, out.

a voice rapo

‘Susan, I’ve got your breakfast ready, all your favorites.”

Susan paused and turned around to see Eason holding a tray, looking at her with eager anticipation.

Ben turned around, his face expressionless, as he sized up Eason.

So, this was the legendary guy trying to steal his girl?
