EuropeNovelChapter 246 Suzanne was so young. Could she really be Jane Smith? Though Suzanne and Shane had heard rumors before, seeing Frankie in person still shocked them.
Shane masked his expression with a smile and introduced, "This is Dr. Smith, Jane Smith." Frankie and Todd were dumbfounded. The elusive expert they had been searching for so long turned out to be such a young woman? Shane couldn't be bothered to look at them and instead turned to Suzanne. "This is Mr. Lloyd, and this is Todd." If Shane weren't so well-versed in controlling his emotions after years in the business world, he might have already lost control and knocked them to the ground.
They actually dared to lay a hand on Suzanne! He could barely stand the thought of letting her lift a finger, yet these two had the audacity to hurt her? Frankie and Todd quickly composed themselves, their faces shifting into fawning smiles as they greeted Suzanne with careful respect, "Hello, Dr. Smith." Frankie extended his hand for a handshake, but Suzanne merely glanced at him and responded with a nod.
She had no intention of shaking hands and instead walked past them, heading inside.

After all, Jane had a well-established reputation, and now, she was Todd's last hope. Offending her was simply not an option.
Todd's eyes were practically glued to Suzanne.
Even with the mask covering her face, her figure and the effortless elegance she carried were undeniable. There was no doubt that whatever lay beneath that mask had to be stunning.
If only he could get her into his bed...
Shane's expression darkened. Speople just never changed! That bastard's body was in that state, yet he was still thinking about that? And now, he had the audacity to set his sights on Jane? Unbelievable! Did he really think he was worthy? Shane's icy gaze swept over Todd before finally settling on Frankie. His voice was cold. "Mr. Lloyd, Dr. Smith doesn't have much patience." Frankie instantly understood Shane's meaning. He turned and shot Todd a sharp glare, silently warning him. Shane had no interest in their father-son dynamic. If not for Suzanne's plan, he would have already thrown a sack over their heads and beaten them to a pulp.
Ahead, Suzanne's lips curled slightly as she walked.
Inside the living room, the decor was lavish-an unmistakable display of wealth. Every detail exuded opulence, from the intricate furnishings to the high-end finishes. One look and it was clear that money was no object. Suzanne exchanged a glance with Shane. This was a golden opportunity. The excitement in Shane's eyes was unmistakable-this was all money waiting to be claimed.
As the four of them took their seats, the Lloyds' maids brought out an assortment of exquisite pastries that filled the table. Even the coffee served was a premium, freshly brewed roast.
After Frankie's warning, Todd didn't dare let his gaze wander to Suzanne. Now, he sat obediently, his posture restrained and respectful.

There was a hint of impatience in his voice. The illness tormenting him had left him sleepless hight after night. If this continued, he would break sooner or later. Suzanne lifted her gaze, her cold eyes locking on Todd. "Why the rush?" In an instant, Todd felt as if he had been encased in ice. He dared not respond and could only sit stiffly to the side.
Frankie quickly forced a smile to ease the tension. Looking at Suzanne, he said warmly, "Dr Smith, I've heard of younremarkable skills. As long as you cure my son, you can nyour price. Whatever you want, it's yours." "Whatever you want"-the weight of those words made it clear how desperate they were. Suzanne sneered inwardly.
Yet when it cto ruining young women's lives, they had never om considered that most people couldn't afford the kind of treatment Todd needed now. The Lloyds were as ruthless as ever. Her gaze landed on Todd, cool and detached. "It's just an illness. It's nothing serious." Frankie and Todd immediately brightened.
Frankie, relieved and elated, stepped forward excitedly. "Then we'll be counting on you, Dr. Smith." Suppressing her discomfort at the thought of touching Todd, Suzanne finally looked at him and said, "Let's begin."
