A question, yet with the tone of a statement.From the first day she’d entered the Harlow estate, Suzy had a special fondness for the food here. The dishes were always just to her taste, even surpassing Allen’s skills. And now she realized—the chef was actually Claude himself.Claude gave a small sm
Suzy was eager for an answer, but after waiting what felt like ages, Dylan still hadn’t replied.“Has he fallen asleep?” she muttered, exhaling a frustrated sigh as she tossed her phone aside and tried to get some rest herself.But sleep didn’t come. After tossing and turning, she finally picked up
Victor rambled on, but Dylan only latched onto one word, "Woman?""Yeah…” Victor frowned, suddenly realizing something. “Wait, you didn’t even know if T was a man or woman? Then why would she say you knew her information?”Dylan set down his glass. “Didn’t know before, but I do now.”Victor looked e
"You’re kidding, right?" Suzy scoffed, feeling like Allen had to be out of his mind. "He had zero interest in me for three years, and now, post-divorce, he's suddenly interested?"“Then why would he help you?” Allen countered. “With his high standards, he’d never step in unless he had something to g
Suzy cast a glance at Allen, crossing her arms. “I am getting a bit worn out. Why don’t you take over for me?”Allen tossed the documents back onto the table. “He’s not worth it.”He was finding that cripple Claude more insufferable by the day. No way would he tolerate slaving away for Claude.Suzy
"Mr. Dylan, Tina agreed to meet with you!" Desmond burst into the room, forgetting to knock in his excitement.Dylan raised an eyebrow, surprised. "She agreed?"Desmond nodded eagerly. "Her assistant just replied, saying she's willing to meet. Today at three in the afternoon, Room 1008 at the Royal
Dylan let out a dry laugh. "As you just mentioned, she's my ex-wife. To me, she’s nothing more than a stranger now."A stranger...That was exactly the outcome she had wanted, yet somehow, an inexplicable heaviness pressed against her chest.Suppressing the unwelcome feeling, Suzy replied softly, "T
Seeing the two of them emerge from the elevator, Suzy frowned slightly. She had timed it perfectly, thinking they would have already left, only to end up running right into them.Was Dylan developing a habit of these surprise returns?As he looked at her, clearly not expecting to see her there, a st
The drive took about an hour and a half. When Suzy reached her destination, she got out of the car without hesitation.It was a mountaintop.The biting winter cold was relentless, with the wind howling and scattering Suzy’s hair. This mountain was a place she often came to when her mind was restl
The message from the caller couldn’t have been clearer: if Suzy wanted Diana to live, she would have to trade her own life.The phone wasn’t on speaker, so Dylan couldn’t hear the conversation. Suzy had no intention of telling him what was said, even as he pressed her for answers. "What did they sa
When Suzy received the photo sent by the enemy, a wave of rage surged through her entire body. The image showed Diana tightly bound, surrounded by a group of men with menacing expressions. The sender hadn’t said anything, but their intent was clear. Suzy instantly understood the threat. The th
Dylan's heartfelt confession stirred something in Suzy, but she quickly suppressed it."Now’s not the time for romance!" Suzy pulled her hand out of Dylan's grasp again. "There are so many people counting on us to save their livelihoods. Focus, and stop with the useless chatter!"Dylan nodded. "Got
"Dylan..." Suzy shivered, her skin crawling. "At your age, don’t you think this is terrifying? And where did you even learn this from? "Acting cute works for some people, but not for everyone! When others do it, it’s charming, but when you do it, it’s like... like an old bull stumbling into a cos
As Suzy guessed, the person had indeed turned their attention to Dylan.What she feared the most had finally happened. Now that things had started, there was no point in saying anything more. Even if she tried to distance herself from Dylan at this stage, it likely wouldn’t stop the other party.No
Dylan lowered his gaze, watching Suzy’s current state with a mischievous smile. "From now on, if you say anything I don’t like, I’ll kiss you. One word, one kiss."Suzy, having regained her strength, raised her hand to retort. "Do you think you’re—"Before she could finish her sentence, he kissed he
Asking Dylan to persuade Grace was futile. Everyone in the Wright family knew how stubborn she was. Once she made up her mind, no one could change it, especially when it involved Suzy."Suzy," Dylan said, locking his eyes onto hers. "Do you really think I can convince Grandma to stop worrying abou
With a sigh, Suzy turned to face Grace. "Grandma, whoever is behind this is relentless. They clearly want me dead. I don’t want to drag you all into this."Grace stepped closer, gently taking Suzy’s hand in hers and holding it firmly. "Silly child, we’re family. No matter what happens, we should fa
