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
The plot of land was pivotal to Harlow Corporation's development strategy over the past three years. If the project succeeded, the benefits could easily exceed billions. For Claude, who had just taken the reins, this could be the perfect accomplishment to cement his leadership—a win-win deal, no dou
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
