Effie watched him, a cold smile curving her lips, disdain flickering in her eyes.
She quickly stepped back, putting more distance between them, her gaze wary in case he tried to retaliate.
Mr. Holt gritted his teeth, forcing himself to look up at her, eyes blazing with hatred and agony. Struggling for breath, he rasped, "You... you bitch! Damn you! You actually dared to lay a hand on me!" Wasn't this woman unconscious just now? How was she suddenly standing there, full of fight? Effie's reply was icy. "You brought this on yourself, Mr. Holt.

It wasn't long before a familiar figure hurried toward the guest room.
Effie slipped into the shadows, hiding in a corner.
She watched as Suzan, looking smug and self-satisfied, pushed open the door.
A moment later, chaos erupted inside the room.
Hidden in the corner, Effie heard the commotion and let a cold smirk play on her lips.
You shouldn't go around hurting others, but you can't let your guard down, either. Suzan was getting exactly what she deserved-she had no one to blbut herself.

Damn it, that woman was ruthless.
When he saw Suzan, his fury doubled-clearly, he thought she was behind this mess.
