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
Dylan’s eyes narrowed, and he scoffed. "It’d be wise to give up on something that will lead nowhere."“And how would you know it’ll lead nowhere?” Suzy shot back. “Maybe Mr. Claude actually appreciates my type. At least he doesn’t assume I’m up to something.”Dylan’s expression flickered, but he sai
This kiss, unlike his earlier attempt to “stop the bleeding,” hit Suzy with an intensity she hadn’t anticipated. A spark ignited where their lips met, sending a jolt that shot straight to her brain.“Smack…”Suzy shoved Dylan back, landing a slap across his face. “This is the first and last time. Ne
After saying that, Dylan turned to Suzy and said, "I’m fine. Worst case, I’ll take a few cold showers. You should head back now. Don’t let anything else happen with your father."A strategy to retreat and advance?Suzy chuckled softly, then tossed the antidote toward Dylan. “No need for all that tro
Without giving Dylan a chance to refuse, Linda. Lane darted off, chasing after Suzy. It was already quite late, and Suzy was walking briskly. By the time Linda caught up, Suzy was outside the gates, about to get into her car. “Mrs. Wright, wait a moment...” Seeing the housekeeper out of breath
"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
