“Police station?”“That’s right!” Allen replied. “Anne and Helena tried to escape from the Goodwin family when Claude met with that accident, but Dylan caught up with them. At first, I thought he was going there to comfort Anne. “But when he arrived, he slapped her right across the face, then had b
Suzy let out a cold laugh. "Julian, is this all you've got? If you’ve got the guts, why don’t you come at me yourself?”“...Hitting you would only dirty my hands!”“I don’t mind dirtying mine!”She strode up to him, and with a swift motion, slapped him across the face.“You…you…” Julian stammered, s
Many people in the room saw what was happening, yet not a single one moved to intervene. To them, Suzy was nothing but an unwelcome presence. Though she held Claude’s final wishes, she didn’t have the legitimacy in their eyes. Despite having the backing of the Goodwin family, Suzy was just a mere

Harlow Corporation, underground parking lot.At midnight, Suzy finally wrapped up her work after a long day. In reality, she didn’t have much left to do. The project wouldn’t officially launch for a while, and most of the preparatory work was already in place with dedicated personnel handling ever
It was as if Suzy hadn’t heard him. She bent forward to get into the car, but just as she was about to settle into the seat, Dylan grabbed her arm and pulled her back out.Without a second thought, Suzy’s fist shot straight toward his face. She moved fast, but so did he, catching her fist in his ha
Bayview Heights, second-floor study."Can’t help."Staring at the long-awaited reply that finally came through, Dylan’s brows knitted in frustration. He quickly typed a response."Not enough?"But as soon as he hit send, an error message appeared below."Sorry, you and this contact are no longer con
"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
