"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’s instincts told him whatever Suzy was about to say, it wouldn’t be pleasant.“I’m busy.”“Oh, you seem pretty free to me,” Suzy arched a brow, clearly undeterred. “What’s the matter? Don’t want to hear it?”Before he could respond, she let out a dry laugh. “You might not want to hear this, bu
The question he didn’t dare ask himself was the very first thing Diana threw at him when he got back to the office.“I told you ages ago, that Anne was a fraud. Told you over and over, and yet, you never believed me.” Diana had only heard about her brother dumping Anne through friends, and now that
The intruder was none other than Anne’s mother, Helena Fox, with the receptionist panting behind her. “Mr. Wright, she slipped past security, and I couldn’t stop her!”Diana, ready to apologize for bumping into her, quickly switched gears when she realized who it was. “What are you doing here? Don’
““Whether it was the earlier kidnapping involving Miss Frost, the secret poisoning of Anne, or the recent staged abduction that implicated Miss Frost—all of it was orchestrated by Lillian,” Helena stated, her voice unwavering.Diana scrutinized Helena’s face, noting that despite her nearly fifty yea
Everyone present assumed the worst for Anne, including Dylan, who ultimately couldn’t stand by idly. He lunged forward, reaching out to catch her, but he was a moment too late.From the 88th floor, her fate seemed certain—until, three floors down, a high-rise window washer with impressive reflexes m
Suzy chuckled. "So, why don’t you go and bring her over?""...Boss, you already knew?" Allen laughed at himself, "Well, of course, someone as sharp as you wouldn't be in the dark about anything.""What would I know?" Suzy looked bewildered, "I don’t know anything. I just think Lilian’s been through
So, this was the truth she had been searching for all these days?Suzy found it hard to accept.“Where is he?” she asked, her gaze fixed on Zack. Her words came slowly, deliberately. “Take me to him.”“He’s gone,” Zack replied. “As for where he went, he didn’t tell me. He’s the master, and I’m just
Dylan hadn’t expected Allen to speak up for him. He had assumed Allen was on Elliot’s side these days. But now, the more Dylan looked at Allen, the more he found him agreeable. Once he and Suzy reconciled, he decided he would properly thank Allen. With hope written all over his face, Dylan tur
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
