The more they failed to uncover, the more it confirmed that the relationship between the three was far from simple.Even Desmond couldn’t help but question whether his skills had deteriorated. Why else had he been letting Dylan down so much lately?Dylan glanced back at Desmond, making him lower his
Matthew’s fury only grew when his hand was stopped mid-air. "Who dares stick their nose where it doesn’t belong—"But when Dylan’s face came into view, Matthew’s expression changed in an instant, replaced with a flattering smile. "Ah, Dylan, what brings you here?"Even though Dylan was younger, Matt
Desmond stepped in, saying, "Mr. Wright and Mr. Claude are not close."Julian scoffed, refusing to believe it. "Not close? Dylan Wright, you’ve always been a man of profit, never doing anything that doesn’t serve your own interests. You may act like you’re helping Claude, but in reality, it’s all f
The real issue wasn’t just bumping into Dylan—it was that he had already noticed her.She should’ve waited a bit longer, at least until he had fully left the Harlow estate. A miscalculation, indeed.But regret wasn’t the priority. She needed to come up with a reasonable excuse—fast.Dylan’s steps
He had worked for the Harlow family for nearly thirty years. Though a butler, his influence was unrivaled, only second to the head of the family.Since Claude had never been appreciated within the family, he’d always dismissed him as unimportant. But times had changed, and with Claude on the brink o
"Jealous?" Dylan questioned himself, though he already knew the answer. His lips twisted into a mocking smile. "You’re just an ex-wife. Do you really think that’s even possible?"Suzy laughed instead of getting angry. "Exactly, so whatever I choose to do is none of your business, Mr. Wright."With t
She had her reasons for keeping her relationship with Dylan under wraps. If she didn’t want to explain, he wouldn’t press.That night, Allen slipped in discreetly to deliver her things, voicing his disapproval. “Even if you want to protect Claude, do you really need to do it personally? Why not let
Suzy was getting ready to accompany Claude to the office. Now that she was his personal caretaker, it was only natural for her to go wherever he did. While he went inside to change, she waited outside the door, idly kicking a pebble around. Suddenly, a strong hand gripped her arm.The touch was fam
“Heh, all these years, every time you’ve been in trouble, you’ve run to your parents. I can’t believe you still haven’t broken that habit,” the man sneered coldly. “Why did you lie to me?”“Lie to you? I don’t know what you’re talking about. I just got back from out of town and brought some local sp
“But he’s not home recently,” the man explained. “I called him yesterday to ask why he hasn’t visited me these past few days, and he said he had some business to take care of out of town.”“Did he say where he went?” Allen asked quickly. “Or when he’ll be back?”“No, he didn’t say, and I didn’t ask.
But the description was still too vague. There were plenty of men who matched it. In just a few hours, they had found several men with gray hair near their bangs.“Boss, something feels off,” Allen said. “It’s almost like this was an intentional clue, and these men with the same features seem delib
“The person who asked me to deliver the photos was a man,” the boy said.“A man?” Suzy was surprised. “What kind of man?”She had assumed it was a woman. To find out it was a man meant that Charlotte, aside from Mark and George, had yet another accomplice. She truly had sacrificed a lot to achieve h
“Who are you? Why did you catch me?” The little boy burst into tears as soon as he saw Suzy. “I want to go home! I want my mom!”“Don’t cry, little one,” Suzy said gently, trying to soothe him. “I just want to ask you a question. If you answer it, I’ll take you back to your mom.”“I don’t even know
Following Suzy's instructions, all individuals who had been at the orphanage with Charlotte during that time were thoroughly investigated, but no one suspicious was found.Back then, aside from Wendy having a closer relationship with Charlotte, she had no other significant connections with anyone at
Allen knew Suzy was probably furious—if it were him, he would be too. But... “I just stepped away to use the bathroom. It couldn’t have been more than three minutes. When I left the room, he was still unconscious. By the time I came back, he was gone.” Allen’s voice carried a hint of disbelief. “I
Suzy arrived at the café Dylan had arranged for her meeting with the woman. The moment she saw her, she got straight to the point. “I believe Dylan has mentioned the purpose of this meeting, so I’ll skip the formalities…” She placed a checkbook on the table in front of the woman. “This is worth tw
“You’re lying to me! You liar!” Timothy shouted as he bolted toward the door. Suzy quickly chased after him. “Dad, wait a moment! She’ll be back soon. I’m not lying—she’ll really be back soon!” “Get lost! Who’s your dad? I don’t even know you. Stop calling me that…” Timothy shoved Suzy aside.
