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,
Downstairs in the lobby.After changing out of her outfit and looking composed, Suzy pretended she’d just come back from the restroom as she searched for Claude. To her surprise, she spotted him from afar, surrounded by a group of people.Worried he might be having trouble, especially since he’d rec
The phrase "You should know who you’re messing with" made Claude's gaze darken. “What kind of explanation are you looking for, Uncle?”“That depends on what kind of compensation you’re willing to offer.” Martin was a master of manipulation. “I may not be the most powerful figure in Ashbourne City, b
"Tsk tsk, turns out it’s a case of ‘the pot calling the kettle black.’ How shameless!”“Wouldn’t surprise me if those injuries were self-inflicted. Why else did they delete the footage?”“Five seconds! She only took five seconds to recover the video—absolute genius. I’m in awe!”Anne and Helena stoo
Just as the middle-aged man seemed ready to spill the truth, another massive wave crashed against the ship. Unprepared, he was thrown hard against the glass panel nearby. The impact was severe, and blood immediately spilled from his mouth. Seeing this, Suzy pushed everything else aside and rush
Suzy stared at the monstrous wave closing in on them, and despite her composed exterior, fear gripped her heart. After all, she was human, and humans feel fear, especially when someone else’s life depended on them. With Diana on her back, her tension was overwhelming. Her palms, clenched around
Just when Suzy thought she could make a clean escape, a massive wave crashed against the ship, causing the enormous vessel to rock violently.Carrying Diana on her back, Suzy nearly lost her footing.The group of fighting men fared worse, with several of them tumbling to the deck. As they scrambled
Hearing Suzy’s words, the group of men burst into laughter. Their leader stepped forward, sneering. "You think you can kill our boss and still walk out of here alive?" "If you want my life, you’ll have to prove you’re capable of taking it," Suzy shot back. Wasting no time, she sent a few silver ne
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
