“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
“Yes, yes, I’ll definitely watch where I’m going the next time.” “Whew, that was close!” Desmond thought.Dylan’s eyes were filled with obvious disdain. “Looks like you need to eat something to boost that brain of yours.”“Wait, what?” Desmond froze, confused. “Not this—then what?”Had he overstep
"Sorry, I’m working," Suzy replied without a hint of hesitation.The blunt rejection caught Desmond off guard, even though he’d half-expected it. Taking a couple of steps closer, he tried again, a bit more pleading. “Miss Frost, it won’t take long—just the time for a quick coffee.”“I don’t drink c
There were plenty of open tables, yet Desmond chose one by the window. He threw a quick, subtle glance at the black luxury car parked across the street. Suzy caught his silent maneuver, offering a wry smile as she took her seat. “My time is short, Mr. Hill, so let’s skip the pleasantries.”Desmond
Dylan never told Suzy what he was planning. No matter how many times she asked, he’d just flash a mischievous smile and say, "That’s classified information."Curiosity was a strange thing—the more someone kept a secret, the stronger the urge to uncover it became. And Suzy was no exception. The mo
Dylan's health had been deteriorating over the past few days. Sometimes, even speaking became a struggle.He didn’t dare tell Suzy. She was already overwhelmed with everything going on, and he didn’t want to add to her burden.Suzy noticed his silence after he called her name. He said nothing mor
"Evangeline Manor."Suzy froze. "What did you just say?""I tracked the figure all the way back to Evangeline Manor. They met with the Empress."Her mind went blank.The mastermind she’d been hunting for so long… was Evangeline?She suspected her sister-in-law once before, but she'd dismissed the th
"Evangeline, don’t think like that," Suzy said, comforting Evangeline. "Your kindness isn’t the problem—Serena’s lack of remorse is. Stop blaming yourself. Just leave her to me. I’ll handle everything. You just need to focus on getting better."Evangeline nodded, tears streaming down her face. "Su
Dylan couldn’t figure out what Suzy had in mind. She hadn’t explained her plan, leaving him completely in the dark.In reality, Suzy wasn’t planning to do anything. She’d decided to stop fighting and go along with the game.Whoever was behind this was clearly trying to mislead her, keeping her cha
"Suzy, please don't think that way anymore. If you do, I really don’t know what I’ll do," Evangeline said softly."Okay, I won’t," Suzy reassured her, squeezing her hand. "And you shouldn't think about it either. I’m right here with you. Just close your eyes and rest for a while."Evangeline obedie
Seeing how firmly Suzy insisted that Serena was the culprit, Simon didn’t argue further. He let out a long sigh. "Maybe you’re right. Like you said, the evidence does point to her.""I’ll find a way to make her confess," Suzy said with quiet determination.As they spoke, a loud crash came from Evan
"I’m on my way!" Suzy answered, then rushed straight to Evangeline's room.When she arrived, it was immediately clear that Evangeline wasn't struggling physically—it was her mental state that had deteriorated."I just got back," Simon said anxiously as he paced near the doorway. "The moment I walked
Suzy assumed that after enduring the punishment, Serena would break and tell the truth. But she didn’t.Even after being beaten to the brink of death, she refused to confess.Suzy stood there, watching Serena, who was slumped against the iron frame, her body covered in blood, her breathing shallow.
