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
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
