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
“You’re not entirely innocent, so I owe you nothing…”Suzy was left speechless, and even Desmond, standing behind Dylan, could barely restrain himself from wishing he could stitch his boss’s mouth shut.“Oh, sir, if only I’d realized sooner that your intelligence and emotional IQ don’t match up. No
Dylan looked him up and down before turning away. Desmond quickly caught up, barely a few steps behind when Dylan spoke in a low voice, “Report on my desk by morning.”“Uh?” Desmond blinked, completely thrown. “You mean the new project report?”Dylan glanced back. “What do you think?”Desmond’s mou
Dylan bringing up the topic of their marriage was the last thing Suzy expected.For him, their marriage had always been something to ignore and hide. Besides his grandmother and sister, no one else—certainly not any of the Harlow family relatives—had ever known about it. Now that they were divorce
“Luckily, I’m not that free. Taking care of Mr. Claude keeps me busy enough—I hardly have time to spare for anyone else.”Dylan was speechless.Desmond rolled his eyes subtly. “Serves you right,” he thought. “That’s what you get for running your mouth!”And, as usual, it was up to him to smooth thi
Allen scoffed. “Now you know how it feels to be betrayed? When you sold out your friend, did you ever think about whether they’d be angry or hurt?”“I…”“Enough with the excuses. Just go find her already!”Finding Mia wasn’t too difficult—she didn’t only have one client. In fact, there was someone e
Whether or not he knew the man, they gave him only three days to track down the person who had given him one hundred thousand dollars. It wasn’t about being harsh—they simply understood that, under pressure, people can sometimes tap into hidden potential, especially when their own lives are at stake
“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
