"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
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.
