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
Suzy’s gaze darkened slightly before she spoke again, shifting topics. “I’m going to prepare for the surgery. I’ve decided it’s best if I handle it myself to be absolutely sure.”“There’s really no need,” Claude replied gently. “Besides, the Goodwin family might be arriving soon, and if they see you
Suzy's parting words—"I won’t hesitate to make you pay"—echoed in Dylan’s ears like a relentless loop. His gaze darkened, bloodshot with frustration. “Am I really that worthless in your eyes?”"Yes," Suzy responded without hesitation. "You’ve never been any kind of decent person. Falling in love wi
Just then, Suzy’s phone buzzed with a call from Charlotte. Glancing around to ensure she was alone, she answered quietly, “Aunt…”“Suzy, you didn’t even tell me when something this serious happened?” Charlotte’s anxious voice came through. “If Mrs. Goodwin hadn’t filled me in, were you planning on k
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.
