Chapter 167 

Charlie ordered the maid directly, “Prepare the car and take me to the hospital! I’m going to 

the hospital to watch over them.” 

The maid glanced at Ben hesitantly. 

Before Ben could speak, Charlie was enraged. 

“What’s wrong? Are my words useless?” 

The maid hurried off to prepare. 

Charlie was obviously angry now. 

Frowning, Ben slowly said, “I’ll go with you.” 

Charlie huffed coldly and went downstairs without even looking at him. 

Ben quickly ordered a few people to follow. 

Then he turned around and said softly to Susan, “Susan, grandpa still has some affection for Penelope. Don’t blame grandpa for what he said.” 

Susan shook her head, her eyes slightly red. “Go and accompany grandpa first. I’m fine.” 

Ben looked at her worriedly. 

However, he was still worried about Charlie. 

Ben reached out and hugged Susan tightly. 

He whispered, “Don’t worry, everything will be fine.” 

Then, he quickly chased after them. 

Susan was left alone in the room. 

When the servants passed by, they glanced at her carefully and then quickly walked past 

her.

Chapter 167 

No one dared to speak loudly. 

Susan pursed her lips, turned around, and slowly returned to her room. 

It was get 

late at night. 

Charlie and Ben didn’t return all night. 

There was also no news from the hospital. 

Susan stared blankly out of the window. 

She had been watching the whole time.. 

They saw the darkness retreat and the morning light wake up. 

Then, she stood up and made a decision. 

She had to go to the hospital. 

She couldn’t just sit here and wait for death. 

Isabella had taken the initiative and now had the upper hand. 

If she didn’t do anything, it would be regarded as tacit consent. 

She would naturally admit to what she had done. 

But no one could frame her for what she had not done. 

If she went to the hospital, at least she could understand the latest situation and find a way to defend herself. 

There was nothing she could do if she stayed at home. 

Susan drove straight to the hospital with a calm face. 

At the hospital. 

After a night of emergency treatment, Penelope Landor was pushed out from the emergency room. 

Chapter 167 

“How’s my mother?” Leo asked anxiously. 

The physician sighed and said slowly, “We have tried our best. Because there is an old wound in Mrs. Penelope’s head, and now there is a new injury, the situation is very serious. We have tried our best, but we can’t wake her up.” 

“What do you mean now?” Leo widened his eyes. 

The physician hesitated for a moment and said slowly, “She’s most likely going to become vegetative. The possibility of recovery is less than 1%.” 

“Mom!” Isabella cried in a low voice and looked heartbroken. “How… how could this be?” 

A vegetable… 

Charlie fell to his seat. 

Leo turned his head and looked at Ben like crazy. “Ben! What do you think of my mother’s 

current state?” 

“Be quiet!” Charlie stamped his cane. 

“Grandpa, do you still want to cover up for him at this time?” Leo was anxious. “My mother is in a vegetative state, and Isabella and I lost our child. Are we just going to let it go?” 

“Don’t make a fool of yourself outside. Send your mother to the ward first,” Charlie held his breath and said sternly. 

The medical staff quickly pushed Penelope into the ward. 

The others also followed him. 

Charlie glanced at the sleeping Penelope and sighed slightly. His heart was throbbing with 

pain. 

No matter how bad Penelope was before, but now that she was in such a state, those bad things disappeared with the wind. All he remembered were the good things she did. 

Since Charlie was silent, Leo couldn’t wait any longer. “There’s no one else now. It’s time for us to make things clear.”

Charlie ignored him. He glanced at Isabella and said, “Isabella, don’t stay here. Go rest next door.” 

Isabella burst into tears. “Grandpa, I’m not going to rest. Compared to mom, I’m already. very lucky. I just want justice now.” 

“Yes, both Isabella and I want justice,” Leo said resolutely. 

Charlie glanced at Ben. 

Ben had a calm expression on his face. “What kind of justice do you want?” 

Thinking that Ben had agreed, Leo was overjoyed and hurriedly said, “I’m afraid that my mother will live a life worse than death for the rest of her life. You have to be responsible for it. Also, my unborn child is gone. You have to be also responsible for it.” 

“How should I take responsibility?” Ben looked very easy to talk to. 

“It’s very simple.” Leo suppressed the joy in his heart and tried his best to say calmly, “You have to give us a large sum of money as compensation.” 

“How much do you want?” Ben asked. 

“I don’t want too much,” Leo said, “Just 10% of Storm Group’s shares.” 

10%? 

Ben smiled. “What ifl don’t?” 

to me, 

“You don’t want to give it to me?” Leo sneered and suddenly stood up. “If you don’t give it means that you don’t feel guilty at all. Maybe you’re the one behind what happened mom and Isabella! Then I’ll make it public and let everyone see how terrible you and Susan are.” 

“Leo!” Charlie couldn’t help but slam his hand on the table, looking a little angry. “What are you talking about?” 

Leo was displeased. “Grandpa, why are you still scolding me at a time like this? It was my brother and that bitch who did something wrong!” 

Chapter 167 

“No matter what, you two are still brothers.” Charlie was so angry that his face turned red. “You’re threatening your brother with the shares of Storm Group. What are you doing? Do you think I’m dead?” 

Leo sneered and said, “If this amount of shares could be exchanged for my child and my mother’s awakening, I wouldn’t want it. But could I bring them back? 

“You…” Charlie was so angry that his entire body was trembling. 

Ben held his hand tightly and said in a calm voice, “Grandpa, don’t worry. Leave everything 

to me.” 

“You can solve it? How?” Leo looked at Ben coldly. 

Leo was now the victim, and he had the right to ask for compensation. No matter what request he made, Ben had to listen. 

Otherwise, if he publicized this matter, Ben might lose more than just these shares. 

Leo felt that he had already shown mercy. 

Isabella’s eyes flickered as she said softly, “Actually, I have a suggestion.” 

“Isabella, go ahead,” Leo said hurriedly. 

“We all know that it was Susan who did it. It has nothing to do with Ben. I’m also heartbroken that my child is gone, but I also know that it’s wrong to vent my anger on someone else.” Isabella slowly said. 

She took a deep breath as if she had made a huge decision. Then, she slowly said, “As long as Ben and Susan divorce and give us a certain amount of financial compensation, this matter will be over.” 

“Isabella, that’s it?” Leo looked at Isabella anxiously. 

Isabella slowly shook her head, indicating that he should not say more. 

Out of trust in Isabella, Leo suppressed his anger and remained silent for the time being. 

At the door of the ward, Susan gently pushed the door open and was about to enter. 

5/8 

Then, she heard the overly calm voice of Ben. 

He said, “So, in combination with the two of you said, either I will give you 10% of the shares of the Storm Group, or I will have to divorce Susan.” 

Leo had other ideas, but Isabella had already agreed. “That’s what I mean.” 

As she spoke, she tugged at Leo. 

Leo said reluctantly, “All right, you can do either of these two things.” 

But in fact, Leo was reluctant. 

Anyone with a discerning eye would know how to choose between these two conditions. 

It was reasonable for Ben and Susan to divorce. Why did she make it as a condition? 

However, Isabella always had her own reasons for doing things, so Leo held back and was going to ask her in private. 

Outside the door, Susan ‘s hand on the door handle froze. 

She stood at the door without saying a word or moving. 

“All right, give me three days. I’ll think about it,” Ben said calmly. 

Susan lowered her eyes. 

Ben said. 

He would think about it. 

If he said so, it meant that he believed that she was the one who did it. 

That was why he hesitated and was willing to think about it. 

Ben shouldn’t have to consider between Susan and 10% of the shares. 

Should she… cry with gratitude? 

“Okay, three days.” Isabella said with a smile. 

Chapter 167 

She felt that Ben had already made up his mind. 

He just needed time to settle things with Susan. 

She was about to achieve her goal. 

Look, there was never a perfect match and true love in this world. 

Thinking of the stories of praising their love in her previous life, Isabella wanted to laugh. 

So what if they had deep feelings for each other? 

There was nothing that she could not do. 

“Okay, that’s it for the time being.” Charlie came to the final conclusion wearily. 

Susan stood quietly at the door for a while, then turned around and gently closed the door. 

She left the hospital without looking back. 

Three days. 

Ben didn’t know how to tell her, so he asked for a three–day deadline. 

Why did he have to do that? 

If he said that they were going to divorce, would she refuse? 

“Hey, Mrs. Landor, you’re out so soon?” A nurse asked curiously when she saw Susan. 

Susan did not stop and walked past her. 

The nurse scratched her head and muttered in a low voice, “Why is she acting so strange?” 

Susan sped all the way back to the car. 

She wanted to start the car, but her hands were shaking so hard that she failed to insert the key several times. 

Susan pursed her lips, got down of the car, and called a taxi. 

In the Landor’s family residence. 

1) 

“Mrs. Landor. 

The servants called out in low voices. 

Susan ignored everyone and returned to her room. 

She calmly turned on the computer and found the template of a divorce agreement. Then, she printed it down and wrote the terms expressionlessly. 

She didn’t want anything from the Landor family. 

She didn’t want anything that Ben had transferred to her. 

She would go back to where she came from. 

After that, Susan signed her name at the signature section. 

She placed the divorce agreement at the most eye–catching spot on the table. 

Then, she took her suitcase and left without looking back. 

Instead of making Ben rack his brains to think of a way to persuade her to agree to the 

divorce, it was better for her to take the initiative and leave on her own. 

She still had this bit of self–esteem left in her.
