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
The more she wanted to avoid him, the more he seemed to show up.Suzy wanted nothing more than to ignore them altogether. But Claude wouldn’t allow it; appearances still had to be kept. With an icy expression, she pushed Claude’s wheelchair toward them. As soon as they came to a stop, she spoke up
"Isn’t that right?” Anne’s face was painted with wounded innocence. “I came all this way just to apologize, and you claim to forgive me, yet you won’t show me a shred of kindness. Suzy, if you don’t want to forgive me, just say it—doesn’t this feel a bit hypocritical?”Suzy studied her for a moment,
Originally, she’d gone to give Suzy a hard time, only to end up taking a beating herself—Anne was seething with rage.What infuriated her even more was that on the drive back, she muttered, “Mr. Dylan, Suzy has changed. She used to be so soft-spoken and gentle, but now she’s terrifying. Sometimes I
Clearing his throat, Dylan asked in a low, steady voice, “Who?”“Miss Wheeler and her mother.”The light in his eyes flickered out like a candle suddenly snuffed. “I’m not seeing them.”After a long night of waiting, the one he hoped would come still hadn’t shown. Dylan moved to the floor-to-ceiling
Before he could finish speaking, Suzy interrupted him. "Why did you sit up so quickly? Look, you’ve reopened the wound."Chiding him, she gently pushed him back down, lifting his shirt to check the damage. Fortunately, the wound had only split a little, causing some minor bleeding. She stopped the b
Suzy smirked, a glint of mischief in her eyes. “If you're that worried about the money, then take the job. It’s not like you don’t know how.”Allen chuckled. “And you’re not afraid I’ll ruin your reputation?”She shrugged. “I don’t care. I’ve got plenty more where that came from.”“Alright, then!” A
Suzy thought she was finally about to see the woman’s face, but just as the figure approached halfway, she abruptly turned her back to her. With the light behind her earlier, Suzy wasn’t able to catch a glimpse of her face. "You’re about to die, Suzy," the woman said, her tone dripping with mock
"She said she’d risk her life to protect you! What a wonderful sister-in-law you have, but too bad she ended up with you, a walking disaster!" The woman’s mocking tone cut like a knife. "If it weren’t for you, she’d still be the carefree, beautiful heiress she once was. You’ve turned her life into
The woman didn’t respond immediately this time. Suzy felt a flicker of hope—maybe she’d guessed correctly. Or perhaps the woman was just toying with her, drawing out the suspense on purpose. After all, Suzy had no real idea which one to choose. With the clock ticking down, she’d simply gone with
When Suzy remained silent, the voice rang out again, taunting her. “Your silence means agreement. Since you’ve agreed, let’s begin! Given how well you know Diana, this game should be easy for you. “After all, last time, I sent someone so convincing that even her own brother, Dylan, didn’t notice t
Suzy couldn’t shake a sense of unease, as if something terrible was about to happen. She didn’t suspect Dylan, assuming instead that something had happened to Elliot or Diana. “Send more people,” she instructed Allen. “Boss, don’t stress yourself. Have you seen how pale you look? You should ge
“What are you thinking?” Dylan sighed softly. “Even if I wanted to take something, someone would have to bring it to me first! Maybe I was just too worried about you. “I kept telling myself, over and over, that I had to get better so I could protect you. And somehow, I just found the strength. “
Suzy was also trying to figure out what Elliot was up to by deliberately sending Allen away. After checking with the gatekeeper, she confirmed that Elliot had left. It wasn’t hard for Suzy to guess his intentions. Most likely, he thought the antidote couldn’t be created, and since she wasn’t wi
"Mentor, I’m not blaming you. I just need you to know—if it’s not you helping me, I’d rather let my body give out completely. That’s why I’m staying.""That’s nonsense!" Suzy couldn’t hold back her temper any longer. "Elliot, why do you always have to be so stubborn? This isn’t about forcing me; it
A sudden voice startled not just the woman, but even Suzy, who hadn’t expected it at all. “Dylan, weren’t you…” When she had left, Dylan was lying stiffly in bed, yet now he was suddenly here. “I told you, no matter when, I’ll always be with you. So how could I let you face this alone?” Dylan’s f
