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
No wonder the investigation had led nowhere—she hadn’t fully grasped just how conniving Anne really was. Suzy had thought Anne was just a little manipulative, but it turned out she was both cunning and low enough to go to any lengths.“Anne, we could’ve stayed out of each other’s way, but you had to
Seeing it was Suzy, Anne froze, stunned for a moment before fully grasping the situation.“Suzy, it’s you!” she snarled, lunging toward her with claws outstretched. Anne could hardly believe it was Suzy who’d orchestrated her capture.“Yes, it’s me! You dumped a whole load of dirt on me, so I figur
As Suzy advanced step by step, Anne’s panic overwhelmed her, and she could no longer worry about the rat that might still be crawling inside her pants. Her heart was pounding rapidly as she backed away, only to feel the cold wall press against her spine—there was nowhere left to run.Right now, Suzy
When Anne woke, her mind was blank.She stared at the ceiling, utterly lost. She couldn’t even remember her own name, her head filled with one persistent question: “Who am I? Where am I?”Suddenly, a sharp pain struck her head, as if something were gnawing inside her skull. The pain was intense, but
Suzy felt a pang of guilt for lying to Grace, but she had no choice. If Grace ever learned the truth, it would devastate her. No matter what, the news of Dylan’s disappearance had to be kept from her. "Let that rascal talk to me," Grace said over the phone, still sounding uneasy. "I’ve been having
Suzy quickly made her way to the wine cellar described by the man, heading straight to the back where a large iron cage stood. Inside was indeed a man, but his face was so disfigured it was impossible to tell who he was. Suzy’s heart sank as she scanned his frame. One glance was enough to confir
Selena burst into tears. "I’m just a young woman who’s never even been in a relationship! How do you expect me to get married after this?" "Cut the act," Maya snapped. "I’ll ask you one last time—where is he?" "I don’t know who you’re talking about! I’ve never seen the person you’re looking for!
They followed Maya to one of Selena’s more remote properties. The location was incredibly secluded, surrounded by abandoned structures and barren land. Suzy could hardly believe that Selena would choose such a place to hide someone. Maya pointed to an old, dilapidated factory. "The person you’re
“You mean that man? I bought him because I felt sorry for him. You have no idea—his face was completely disfigured, covered in terrible sores and pus. You couldn’t even tell what he originally looked like,” Selena explained in a soft, gentle tone. “My parents raised me to help those in need, so whe
Suzy followed Maya to an estate called Crystal Garden. "Miss Whitmore, may I ask who you’re looking for? I can inform them for you," the gatekeeper said, stepping forward to block their way. Maya, already losing patience, snapped, "Tell Selena Thomas to get out here and see me!" "Our lady isn’
"I don’t care if I have to turn that entire city upside down—I will find Dylan!" Victor declared, his frustration boiling over. “There’s no need,” Suzy replied coldly, her expression unreadable. “I can handle this myself.” Despite the Whitmore family now targeting her, Suzy wasn’t concerned. In
At Maya’s private villa, the butler personally escorted Suzy, stopping in front of the finest room in the estate. He gestured toward the door and said, “The man is inside, but he won’t let anyone near him—not even to deliver food. So, I’ll leave you to handle it from here.”The butler’s tone betraye
No one had ever dared treat Maya like this before. She glared at Suzy and asked, "Are you really not afraid of death?" "What do you think?" Suzy replied coldly, her expression unchanging. Maya couldn’t believe Suzy would actually kill her. "Then go ahead. Kill me. But if you do, you’ll never f
