As Suzy’s countdown ended, the men’s faces grew even paler, fear intensifying in their eyes. Yet none of them were willing to speak the truth.“So, that’s your choice,” she said, her voice as cold as a messenger from the underworld. “Take them out and give back double what they did to Diana.”“Under
The fact that, in that critical moment, Diana had called her first instead of Dylan spoke volumes about Suzy’s importance to her. But if she had answered that call, would Diana have avoided the crash?…Suzy was convinced that Diana's missing phone was still in the car. Since the dashcam footage onl
Standing in the doorway was none other than Dylan, who had returned unexpectedly.After Victor’s call, Dylan had indeed planned to leave. But as the elevator doors were closing, he thought he’d caught a glimpse of Suzy’s figure—just like that brief moment outside the ICU earlier.Curious and unsettl
Suzy’s voice softened as if speaking to a child. “Can you hear me?”Dylan moved to stand behind her, looking down at Diana, whose eyes remained tightly shut. It had been almost 48 hours since the surgery, yet she showed no clear signs of waking. He also heard that faint sound earlier, but despite S
Seeing that Diana had set her phone’s passcode to Suzy’s birthday, Suzy felt a bittersweet warmth. Though people often joked about in-laws being natural rivals, Diana had always treated her with genuine kindness.Pushing aside her emotions, Suzy began combing through the phone. If there was somethin
Suzy shot back, “What does it matter to you what I feel for him? Hawk, I expect Diana awake by morning—don’t make me set aside our shared history.”She hung up, tossing her phone onto the desk and leaning back in her chair. It took several deep breaths before her racing heart began to steady.In the
"Susanna Frost!!!" An uproar rippled through society. "Could it really be the Goodwin family’s cherished little princess, Susanna Frost, from twenty years ago?"As if sensing everyone’s curiosity, Suzy on the screen added, “I’m the only survivor of the Frost family massacre twenty years ago!”Dylan
Suzy nodded briefly to the group, then took her seat at the head of the table. Once she was settled, the others exchanged glances and sat down as well.She looked over them and spoke softly, “I know you’re all unsettled by my decision—not because I didn’t consult you beforehand, but because you're w
"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
