"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
“Congratulations to Lyndon Corporation for winning this bid…” Before the host could finish, the tightly closed doors were suddenly pushed open. “Twenty billion dollars!”The disruptor was none other than Suzy’s ex-husband, the one man who always got under her skin—Dylan.Dressed in all black, exudi
At this particular moment, the dressing room was completely empty. After searching around, Suzy finally found a gown that fit—a floor-length red dress. She didn’t waste time overthinking it, quickly changing into the gown and grabbing a mask.She could have used makeup to disguise herself well enoug
When Suzy saw the hand reaching for her, her first thought was that Dylan had sent someone after her. After publicly embarrassing him like that, there was no way he’d let it slide, so he’d likely dispatched someone to tail her.Eyes flashing with determination, she seized the hand, ready to flip her
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.
