Diana thought about how cold Suzy was toward her brother these days, and her mood soured further. Pulling out her phone, she snapped a few pictures of Suzy with Claude and sent them straight to Dylan. If she was feeling miserable, he shouldn’t get off easy either—there was no way he wasn’t at least
With about half an hour left until the banquet officially started, most of the guests had already arrived. Notable figures from various industries mingled, their glasses raised in toasts, creating an atmosphere of grandeur. The Goodwin family truly commanded respect. Their influence in politics had
Diana’s anger flared as she continued, “Today’s supposed to be Suzy’s big day, yet you made a grand entrance with Anne by your side. How do you think that makes Suzy feel?”The more Diana thought about it, the angrier she got. She’d wanted to chat with Suzy earlier, but seeing her brother so cozy wi
Martin ordered his men to break down the door. The moment it swung open, the scene inside left everyone gasping in shock, especially Anne, who was standing at the front of the crowd. She froze for several seconds, then rushed inside, attempting to slam the door shut.But Suzy wasn’t about to let he
Looking at Dylan, who stood stoically nearby, Anne broke free from the people restraining her and rushed to his side. “Mr. Dylan, it’s not what it seems! Let me explain—I didn’t know anything about this…”Diana cut her off angrily. “Anne Wheeler, do you have any shame left? Your mother just admitted
Suzy’s eyes widened, and without hesitation, she wrenched her arm free from Dylan’s grip and sprinted toward Claude, who was on the verge of rolling into the pond. Despite her speed, she was still a step too late.Claude splashed into the water.If he had been able-bodied, she wouldn’t have worried
Listening to the murmurs around them, Diana leaned closer to Dylan and whispered, “I used to think your chances of getting back your wife were slim, but now…”She gave him a sympathetic pat on the shoulder. “Good thing you don’t have feelings for Suzy; otherwise, you’d probably be coughing up blood
The rest of Anne’s words were cut off by the sharp slap Dylan delivered, leaving her stunned, hand clutching her face. She looked at him in disbelief, struggling to process what had just happened. “Mr. Dylan, I thought you… I thought you trusted…”Before she could finish, Dylan’s hand shot up, clamp
“Yes, it’s me!” Suzy said softly. “I’m sorry I came late.” Dylan was speechless.Seeing the faint redness in Suzy’s eyes, Dylan finally accepted that what he was seeing was real. This wasn’t some hallucination brought on by his longing for her. It was truly Suzy standing before him. After nearly
A group of burly men instantly surrounded Suzy, their sheer size and strength making her look like a defenseless rabbit encircled by a pack of wolves. Following the priest's orders, they launched a brutal assault, aiming to take Suzy down with no mercy. But Suzy wasn’t someone to be easily dealt
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!
