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
Before heading to the Goodwin family, Suzy made a stop at the hospital where Diana was staying, to check if Hawk had done as she’d instructed.At the ICU door, she put on her protective gear, ignored Dylan who was standing guard, and walked straight into the room.On the bed, Diana lay with her eyes
Victor added again, "He really does have feelings for you now..."What exactly had Dylan done to give them such an impression?With a soft chuckle, Suzy dismissed the idea outright. “Why would I want back a broken umbrella I already threw away?”Victor was left speechless. …At the Goodwin estate.
Suzy’s threat didn’t elicit the truth from Mark; he remained firm. “The Goodwin family was not involved!”Mark looked her straight in the eye. “You said that three years ago, during the assassination attempt, they mentioned the Goodwin family. Have you considered that they may have done that on pur
He paused, then continued, “You want me to lift the hypnosis on Diana. It’s not impossible, but there is a condition…”“A condition?” Suzy smirked. “Why not take it up with Dylan instead?”“He’s not worthy,” Hawk replied, his tone laced with disdain for Dylan. “Don’t worry, Junior. My condition is s
The man stood in shadow, entirely unfazed by the commotion behind him. He even had the leisure to tease her. "Impressive, Junior. You can still pinpoint sounds in a situation like this."Suzy stared at his tall silhouette, her expression even darker than the dim room. "Who exactly are you?"He chuck
"Fine, since that’s the case, I won’t beat around the bush. My condition is simple…” Hawk looked directly at Suzy, pausing with intent. “Be my girlfriend.”“Say that again?” Suzy was convinced she must have misheard. She’d expected him to demand her life, not… this.“As soon as you agree to be my g
Three minutes. There was only three minutes left.If it were anyone else, she might think they were bluffing, but Hawk… His mastery of hypnosis was unparalleled; he could control life and death remotely. Facing him was impossible unless their mentor was still alive.In the end, her skills simply wer
Suzy nodded. "Alright, fine. For your grandfather’s sake, I’ll help treat her but only because of him." Men were such liars. Victor was clearly worried sick, yet he couldn’t admit it to himself. She instructed him to carry Nadia into a guest room on the first floor. After taking her pulse, Suz
Seeing Nadia cough up blood, Victor froze in panic. In all the years he’d known her, Nadia had been practically indestructible—never sick, barely even catching a cold. For her to suddenly collapse like this was unthinkable, and it sent a jolt of fear racing through him. No matter how much he cal
After years of keeping him on a leash, she now wanted to cast him aside and run off with another man? That was a bit too brazen, even for her. Victor sped home, fury propelling him, and headed straight for Nadia’s room. Nadia had just gotten back from work and was about to take a shower. She had
Suzy flipped through the pages, her breathing growing more unsteady with every entry she read. The journal detailed, with chilling precision, how her father had been hidden away by Charlotte all those years ago. It turned out that not only had her mother survived, but her father was also still a
Suzy thought for a moment. "Let’s keep this to ourselves for now, especially from Dylan." With his injuries as severe as they were, his recovery had to take priority. Allen gave Suzy a conflicted look. “Boss…” He seemed to want to say something, but in the end, the words never left his lips.
Suzy's words rekindled a glimmer of hope in Dylan, but escaping from this place was far easier said than done, especially with his body covered in injuries. “Don’t bother!” Dylan said sharply. “Suzy, if you’re saying this out of gratitude, then spare me! Yes, I want to be with you again, but only
The man in black remained unfazed. "Oh, I forgot to mention, Miss Frost, I’ve been immune to poisons since childhood. Ordinary toxins have no effect on me. If you want to take me down, you’ll need something far more exotic." Suzy was speechless.It seemed Claude’s men weren’t to be underestimated.
The blade struck Dylan’s shoulder, a blow that added to his already battered and bloodied body. His arms and ankles, pierced and torn, bled profusely, and Suzy’s heart clenched at the sight. "Dylan… Are you insane?" Breaking free from the chains like that—did he have a death wish? "Suzy..." Dy
“Yes, it’s me!” Suzy said softly. “I’m sorry I came late.” Dylan was speechless.Seeing the faint redness in Suzy’s eyes, Dylan finally accepted that what he was seeing was real. This wasn’t some hallucination brought on by his longing for her. It was truly Suzy standing before him. After nearly
