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
“What are you doing here?” Suzy’s tone was sharp, glaring at the man who shouldn’t be there and unsure how long he’d been standing there. Dylan, who was casually washing some fruit, looked up at her.Following his gaze, Suzy suddenly realized her pants were still half-down. Her face grew warm, than
“My brother is really hopeless. Grandma sent him here to look after you, not to start a fight. When I get back, I’m telling Grandma all about this, so she’ll give him a good scolding!”“Grandma sent him?” Suzy blinked. She’d assumed he’d secretly followed her, finding out about her accident just to
“Aunt?”Suzy was stunned to see her long-lost aunt, Charlotte Frost, standing there. It had been years since they last met.Back when the entire Frost family was murdered overnight, it was Charlotte who had risked everything in the chaos to save Suzy. Charlotte had even arranged for Suzy to join a
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
