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
"Not long ago, didn’t you ask Allen to relay a message to me? You suspected that the assassination attempt three years ago, along with your parents’ and brothers’ murders, might be linked to the Goodwin family?" Charlotte asked. "This grudge isn’t only yours; it’s mine too, and revenge shouldn’t res
Thinking it might be someone she knew, Suzy looked up—only to see a complete stranger standing in the doorway.The man was tall, easily over six feet, with a muscular build, but his expression was off, almost unhinged. Charging toward her, he yelled, “Dear, come here! Let’s sleep together!”Seeing
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
