Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love By Christin Donald ( Edward )
Ice-Cold Ceo Crazy Love By Christin Donald ( Edward ) Chapter 144

Chapter 144 

Theresa, a high–achieving student in classical literature, lost all traces of her literary grace when she began hurling insults. 

Her words were like arrows, each striking right at Monica’s heart. 

“You, you, you…” Monica stuttered for a moment, wanting to retort, but facing Theresa’s flawless figure, she couldn’t find the words to express her indignation. 

Susan, who was standing beside them, initially wanted to throw a few jabs at Monica as well, but she soon realized that Theresa’s verbal onslaught was venomous enough that she didn’t need to intervene. 

Especially when she saw Monica’s face turning from red to pale, it was just too hilarious to behold. 

Unable to contain herself, Susan burst into laughter. 

Initially, Monica’s wrath was directed at Theresa, but Susan’s laughter redirected it towards her. In a fit of anger, she glared at Susan and exclaimed, “Susan! The Lynn family and the Landor family have been allies for generations. You’re siding with a stranger and laughing at me, does Ben know about this?” 

“Do you plan to tattle?” Susan replied with a light chuckle, “Feel free to do so. Would you like me to call him for you?” 

As she spoke, Susan even pulled out her phone, putting on a show of dialing Ben’s number. 

“You…” Monica reached out, attempting to grab the phone from her. 

She had been using her connection to the Landor family to boost her status, but given Ben’s current stance, would she dare to actually involve him? 

“Seems like Ms. Lynn aren’t as confident as you claim to be,” Susan said as she sneered and put her phone away, leaving Monica with a face that seemed to have been slapped twice over. 

Monica’s face was a sight to behold, a myriad of unpleasant hues painting her frustration and embarrassment. 

Losing interest in Monica, Susan turned towards Theresa with a friendly expression and

extended her hand, “Nice to meet you, Miss Rose.” 

Theresa grinned.

She had taken a liking to Susan, especially after witnessing her put Monica in her place. 

Happily shaking Susan’s hand, she said, “Pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Landor. I must thank you for speaking up for me, helping me secure this spokesperson role. This opportunity means a lot to me. I’ll always remember your kindness.” 

Susan felt slightly awkward and said honestly, “Actually, I didn’t intend to advocate for your at that time. There were four photos laid out, and honestly, I couldn’t make out much from them, so I just casually pointed at one. I had no idea the person in the photo was you, let alone that Ben would finalize the endorsement so quickly. If you want to thank someone, 

thank fate.” 

This really was…a complete coincidence. 

Theresa was momentarily taken aback. 

Mrs. Landor was surprisingly candid. 

She could have easily accepted the gratitude, gaining favor in the process, but chose to reveal the entire story instead. 

This honesty made Theresa appreciate Susan even more. 

With a smile, she said, “Even if was a casual remark, the fact remains that you helped me, Mrs. Landor. I want to express my heartfelt thanks. If you ever need my assistance, I’ll do my best to help.” 

Just as they were having a pleasant conversation, Monica couldn’t stand being left out and interjected resentfully, “Sweet words, but what help can a mere model offer?” 

Susan shot her a sidelong glance and asked, “Do you know why turtles live so long?” 

“Why?” Monica furrowed her brows in confusion. 

“Because they certainly don’t interrupt conversations and annoy people like you do,” Susan retorted.  sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Susan and Theresa seemed to be hitting it off splendidly. In contrast, Monica felt deeply humiliated, her face turning a grim shade of green. 

Inside her mind, a whirlwind of venomous words spun wildly. 

Susan, Theresa! 

If she could seize the opportunity, she, Monica, would surely make these two pay! 

As Monica was furiously cursing inwardly, she suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure. 

Thomas was rushing in with a worried expression on his face. 

This seven–star hotel was one of Ben’s properties! Thomas had accompanied Ben here a few times, so the hotel staff recognized him as Ben’s close friend. 

Hence, the security let him in without any hesitation. 

Upon entering, Thomas frantically began searching for Monica. 

In his eyes, she was extremely fragile, in dire need of protection. 

Maybe Susan didn’t mean any harm, but it was possible that Monica had frightened 

herself. 

Regardless, Monica desperately needed him right now, and he had to stay by her side. 

Upon seeing Thomas searching for her, Monica’s eyes lit up instantly. 

Suddenly, she grabbed hold of Susan’s hand. 

“What are you doing?” Susan asked, looking at her with surprise. 

Clutching Susan’s hand tightly and shouting, Monica exclaimed, “Mrs. Landor, what are you trying to do?” 

Then, with an exaggerated stumble backward, she plunged directly into the swimming pool.

Susan was dumbfounded. 

Theresa was dumbfounded too. 

The two exchanged a baffled look, both utterly perplexed. 

Even the nearby staff were somewhat stunned. “What is Ms. Lynn playing at?” 

Everyone present had clearly seen that Monica had fallen in by herself. 

With such a clumsy ploy, was she really trying to frame Mrs. Landor? 

Was this some kind of joke? 

While everyone was left scratching their heads in confusion, Thomas swiftly rushed over. 

“Thomas?!” 

Susan and Theresa exclaimed in unison. 

“Huh?” 

Susan gave Theresa a somewhat puzzled glance. 

Did Theresa also know Thomas? 

However, it seemed like Thomas didn’t hear anything; frantic, he jumped straight into the swimming pool. 

He struggled to swim over to Monica and pulled her up to the surface. 

Monica genuinely couldn’t swim. 

After being rescued, she spat out several mouthfuls of water before finally catching her 

breath. 

Thomas was gently patting her back, looking at her with concerned eyes. 

Finally, Monica seemed to recover, her eyes brimming with tears as she threw herself into Thomas’s arms, “Thomas, thank goodness you arrived just in time! Otherwise, I might have actually drowned.” 

As she spoke, tears cascaded down her face.

Thomas felt a sharp pang in his heart as he continued comforting her, murmuring, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.” 

After crying for a bit, Monica finally regained her composure. With a face full of grievance, she turned towards Susan, “Mrs. Landor, we… we have no grudges against each other, why did you push me into the pool? Is it because I’m a good match for Ben in terms of family. background, and also his ex–wife?” 

Thomas’s eyes narrowed suddenly, involuntarily shifting his gaze towards Susan. 

He had turned towards the commotion upon hearing Monica’s voice. At that time, Susan had her back to him, and he could only vaguely perceive that some conflict seemed to have occurred between Susan and Monica before Monica ended up in the pool. 

Could it really be that Susan had deliberately pushed Monica in? 

It didn’t seem like it! 

Susan furrowed her brow, finally understanding the source of Monica’s absurd actions. 

She must have seen Thomas coming! 

Moreover, the reason Thomas came might even be connected to her! 

“This woman really doesn’t know how to stop courting disaster,” she thought, thoroughly exasperated.
