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
"True, that project isn’t worth nearly that much, and if things go south, my entire ninety billion dollars could go down the drain. I mean that’s ninety billion dollars! Money most people couldn’t make in several lifetimes. Now that I think about it, maybe I was a bit impulsive."Then, with a shrug,
"Of course not! Even if you weren’t her granddaughter, I’d still like you just as much!” Grace quickly explained. “Don’t think I’m making this up—I mean every word!”“Don’t worry, Grandma, I was just teasing you!” Suzy hugged her gently. “It’s late. Let’s get some rest.”“Alright, Suzy. I truly hope
Grace did have plenty to talk about with Suzy, though most of it was spent persuading her not to forgive Dylan, insisting they weren’t a good match.“Grandma, have you forgotten that you’re his biological grandmother?” Suzy couldn’t help but laugh. What kind of grandmother sides against her own gran
It wasn’t just an excuse—Grace truly had been thinking about Suzy lately. After all, it had been a long time since they’d seen each other. Suzy had also been thinking about Grace and knew exactly what Dylan was trying to do. The woman posing as Charlotte was one of his operatives, helping them f
Suzy never imagined that one day her father would point a gun at her—let alone to avenge Charlotte.The moment Timothy appeared, Dylan instinctively stepped in front of Suzy without hesitation. “She’s your biological daughter. Are you sure you want to do this to her?”“Who do you think you are? The
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
