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
Dylan never told Suzy what he was planning. No matter how many times she asked, he’d just flash a mischievous smile and say, "That’s classified information."Curiosity was a strange thing—the more someone kept a secret, the stronger the urge to uncover it became. And Suzy was no exception. The mo
Dylan's health had been deteriorating over the past few days. Sometimes, even speaking became a struggle.He didn’t dare tell Suzy. She was already overwhelmed with everything going on, and he didn’t want to add to her burden.Suzy noticed his silence after he called her name. He said nothing mor
"Evangeline Manor."Suzy froze. "What did you just say?""I tracked the figure all the way back to Evangeline Manor. They met with the Empress."Her mind went blank.The mastermind she’d been hunting for so long… was Evangeline?She suspected her sister-in-law once before, but she'd dismissed the th
"Evangeline, don’t think like that," Suzy said, comforting Evangeline. "Your kindness isn’t the problem—Serena’s lack of remorse is. Stop blaming yourself. Just leave her to me. I’ll handle everything. You just need to focus on getting better."Evangeline nodded, tears streaming down her face. "Su
Dylan couldn’t figure out what Suzy had in mind. She hadn’t explained her plan, leaving him completely in the dark.In reality, Suzy wasn’t planning to do anything. She’d decided to stop fighting and go along with the game.Whoever was behind this was clearly trying to mislead her, keeping her cha
"Suzy, please don't think that way anymore. If you do, I really don’t know what I’ll do," Evangeline said softly."Okay, I won’t," Suzy reassured her, squeezing her hand. "And you shouldn't think about it either. I’m right here with you. Just close your eyes and rest for a while."Evangeline obedie
Seeing how firmly Suzy insisted that Serena was the culprit, Simon didn’t argue further. He let out a long sigh. "Maybe you’re right. Like you said, the evidence does point to her.""I’ll find a way to make her confess," Suzy said with quiet determination.As they spoke, a loud crash came from Evan
"I’m on my way!" Suzy answered, then rushed straight to Evangeline's room.When she arrived, it was immediately clear that Evangeline wasn't struggling physically—it was her mental state that had deteriorated."I just got back," Simon said anxiously as he paced near the doorway. "The moment I walked
Suzy assumed that after enduring the punishment, Serena would break and tell the truth. But she didn’t.Even after being beaten to the brink of death, she refused to confess.Suzy stood there, watching Serena, who was slumped against the iron frame, her body covered in blood, her breathing shallow.
