Suzy decided not to tell Claude about the patent application for the project just yet. Nor did she plan to mention Dylan’s interference. If she could keep things off his plate, she would; all he needed was to stay positive and focus on his recovery.After two rounds of therapeutic baths and physical
Dylan glanced back at Anne. “I’m leaving.”Seeing that he was about to go as soon as he arrived, Anne, enduring the intense pain in her body, quickly got down from the hospital bed and hurried to his side, grabbing his arm. “Mr. Dylan, is it because of what happened at the bidding meeting? Do you fe
“Achoo…”By the time lunch was over, Suzy had sneezed multiple times. Claude glanced at her with concern. “Are you feeling unwell?”“No…” Suzy rubbed her nose. “Maybe the food’s just too spicy. Does this restaurant give away their chili for free or something?”“Are you sure you’re okay?”“Really, I’
Victor turned to Dylan, who was still standing by the door. “Buddy, you used to be unfortunate; now, you’re undoubtedly lucky.”Then, he threw a jab at Claude. “Mr. Harlow, just because you’ve got trouble walking doesn’t mean you need to go picking up someone else’s discarded shoes.”Smack!Before S
To Suzy's surprise, despite her harsh words, Dylan didn’t get angry—instead, he actually began eating the leftovers.After a brief pause, Suzy stood up. “Well, Mr. Dylan, it seems you’re really hungry. Help yourself.”Dylan didn’t stop her from leaving, but as she reached the door, his calm voice ca
Claude chuckled. "How about you follow through with your own advice before telling me?"Suzy scrunched her nose but didn’t respond, waving him farewell as she turned to leave.Watching her retreating figure, Claude’s previously clear eyes darkened, becoming unreadable.The next day.Thanks to Claude
After Suzy saved Martin, Mark, naturally came by to thank her.“Miss Frost, I can’t express my gratitude enough for saving my father.”Though Mark was already fifty, he looked no older than his mid-thirties. He wore a finely tailored black suit, perfectly pressed, with every hair in place, and the g
As Allen continued to go on about Dylan, Suzy felt the urge to kick him again. “Keep up this nonsense, and I won’t hesitate to make you mute!”Allen rolled his eyes, then handed her the peeled apple.Suzy took a bite. “How’s Anne’s situation?”She hadn’t reviewed the surveillance footage lately—part
As Selena finished speaking, blood suddenly trickled from the corner of her mouth. “Damn it, she bit her tongue to kill herself!” Victor stared at Selena in disbelief. “What kind of methods did Claude use to make these people so fanatically loyal to him?” Looking at Selena's lifeless body, Suzy
Whether Selena orchestrated the deception with the fake Dylan on her own or under someone else's orders remained unclear. Either way, it was undeniable that she was deeply connected to his disappearance. Suzy had no patience left for games. Going to confront Selena again would yield the same evasi
Selena pressed her lips together before finally revealing the truth. "Someone threatened me. They said if I told anyone, they’d kill me." "Who?" Victor demanded, his tone sharp. "I don’t know who he is," Selena replied, shaking her head. "He always wore a mask. The day after I bought this man, h
When Suzy stormed back into the café, Selena’s expression faltered. "Miss Frost, why did you show up in the middle of the night? Are you here for a drink?" Slap!Suzy didn’t waste time on pleasantries, striking Selena hard across the face. "Where is he?" "You’ve already searched everywhere," Sel
Suzy felt a pang of guilt for lying to Grace, but she had no choice. If Grace ever learned the truth, it would devastate her. No matter what, the news of Dylan’s disappearance had to be kept from her. "Let that rascal talk to me," Grace said over the phone, still sounding uneasy. "I’ve been having
Suzy quickly made her way to the wine cellar described by the man, heading straight to the back where a large iron cage stood. Inside was indeed a man, but his face was so disfigured it was impossible to tell who he was. Suzy’s heart sank as she scanned his frame. One glance was enough to confir
Selena burst into tears. "I’m just a young woman who’s never even been in a relationship! How do you expect me to get married after this?" "Cut the act," Maya snapped. "I’ll ask you one last time—where is he?" "I don’t know who you’re talking about! I’ve never seen the person you’re looking for!
They followed Maya to one of Selena’s more remote properties. The location was incredibly secluded, surrounded by abandoned structures and barren land. Suzy could hardly believe that Selena would choose such a place to hide someone. Maya pointed to an old, dilapidated factory. "The person you’re
“You mean that man? I bought him because I felt sorry for him. You have no idea—his face was completely disfigured, covered in terrible sores and pus. You couldn’t even tell what he originally looked like,” Selena explained in a soft, gentle tone. “My parents raised me to help those in need, so whe
