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
“I’ve already lost three brothers. You’re the last one I have in this world,” Suzy sobbed, her words coming out in broken gasps. “You promised me—you said you’d take care of me in their place. How can you go back on that now?”Through her tears, she kept talking, barely making sense. “The company’s
At just a month into the organization, she found herself facing a ferocious, fully grown white tiger—one injected with some kind of stimulant, making it even more aggressive. In that place, there was no room for choice. Regardless of willingness or age, every command from the instructors had to be
Seeing Dylan standing there without even flinching, the murderous intent in Suzy's eyes intensified. She rushed forward, raising the knife in her right hand without hesitation, aiming straight for his chest…Just then, Diana arrived, her voice filled with disbelief. “Suzy…” she gasped, horrified.
"Jump, and I’ll let her go…" That sentence echoed in Suzy’s mind over and over. The man sneered when Suzy remained frozen. "What’s the matter? Didn’t you say Diana is like a sister to you? Turns out it’s all talk. When it comes down to it, you’re not willing to sacrifice your life for hers. "
The man’s gaze, eerily similar to Claude’s, was enough to make anyone second-guess. But to Suzy, the situation felt too suspicious.If this man was truly Claude, why go to such lengths to steal the ashes? Everything he had done seemed deliberately designed to make her believe it was Claude. If
Even though she saw him with her own eyes, Suzy still didn’t believe it. "I have to admit, your disguise skills are impressive…" Before she could finish, the man interrupted her with a soft laugh. "Suzy, even after seeing me with your own eyes, you still don’t believe I’m alive? Fine, come closer
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
