"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
All his life, Dylan had prided himself on being shrewd. Yet here he was, realizing he’d been played by Anne—a woman more than a decade his junior. The flash drive had laid everything bare, recording her repeated manipulations and her attempts to shift blame onto Suzy.It wasn’t just this recent kidn
“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.
