Just ahead was a sheer cliff, and Suzy was standing right at the edge…For anyone else, a shove like that would have meant certain death. But Suzy was able to turn peril into survival. As she spun around mid-air, she used her momentum, twisting with a swift, agile movement to catch herself and escap
Hearing the strain in Allen’s voice, Suzy quickly asked, “What happened to Diana?”“There was a car accident. She’s in critical condition.”A car accident, critical condition…Those words echoed in Suzy’s mind, drowning out everything else. She recalled the two calls from Diana she’d ignored earlier
"The call was answered! The miracle doctor picked up the call and said he’s nearby and will be here soon!" Desmond nearly jumped with excitement as he hung up. "But there’s one condition—he wants everyone to clear the area for now, and all the security cameras here need to be shut off."Dylan didn’t
Just as Dylan reached the door, he saw Diana being wheeled out of surgery. Before he could ask, the doctor informed him, “The operation went well, Mr. Wright, but she’s not entirely out of danger yet. She’ll need to be monitored in the ICU for the next couple of days.”Once Diana was settled in the
Thinking it was a staff member, Suzy quickly shut her laptop and slipped behind the door just before they entered. She wasn’t afraid of being caught, but it didn’t hurt to show a little respect for the official personnel.But as the door opened, she realized…the visitor seemed even sneakier than she
And she was impressive.He and Dylan had been trained rigorously since childhood, and few people could match their skills. Yet he had exchanged dozens of blows with Suzy and hadn’t gained the upper hand. Her skills were clearly on a level above his.With a newfound respect, Victor looked at her diff
“The number you’re trying to reach is currently on another call. Please try again later…”Victor tried twice, only to hear the same automated message.“Who could he be on the phone with for this long?”Dylan never spent more than a minute on any call, no matter who it was. If he was on this one for
The entire organization had only one person who had ever seen Hawk—their mentor, who passed away five years ago. Now, no one in the world knew what Hawk looked like.But why would he, with no grudge against the Wright family, go after Diana? Suzy shook her head, thinking she was likely overthinkin
"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
