As Dylan’s words—"And what if I said yes?"—left his lips, Suzy’s phone rang, and at the same moment, a car hurtled toward them from the distance, speeding recklessly. Though the driver clearly saw them, the car came charging straight at them.With only a split second to react, Dylan wrapped his arm
As if reading her thoughts, Hawk spoke again. “Since Diana doesn’t seem to sway you, how about another deal? Do you want to find the person responsible for your family’s murder? I can help you. But if I do, you’ll agree to be my girlfriend.”Suzy rolled her eyes. “You’re that desperate for a woman?”
To prevent Hawk from targeting Diana again, Suzy returned and immediately instructed Allen to increase the number of hidden guards around the hospital. Yet, despite a few days passing, Hawk hadn’t made a single move.Did he realize that Diana was no longer a useful leverage and decided to abandon hi
Suzy felt her defenses crumble at Diana’s words. “Silly girl, why are you so good to me?”“Because you deserve it!” Diana said warmly. “Sis, once I’ve recovered, I’ll help you get justice for your family.”Suzy’s eyes filled with unshed tears. “Alright.”After hanging up, she immediately headed for
Though Hawk outmatched Suzy in hacking and hypnosis, there was one area where he couldn’t hold a candle to her: poison-making. Talent was innate—a gift that no amount of training could replicate. In the art of concocting poisons, not even their mentor, if he were still alive, could rival Suzy.Worki
Was this really something she needed to hear?Riley gave a quick, awkward cough. "You two keep talking—I’ll go check on the food preparation." She thought it might have been better if she'd excused herself sooner; after hearing far more than she’d intended, she half-wondered if Hawk might see the n
If not for their mentor’s sake, she would never have let him live this long.Just as the sharp tip of her needle was about to pierce Hawk’s left eye, her wrist was suddenly seized—by Hawk himself.“You’re unharmed?” she murmured, taken aback by his complete lack of any symptoms. So, he’d been preten
Hawk's gaze sharpened, cutting through her defenses. “You keep saying you’re avenging Claude, but up until now, I haven’t seen you take any real action against Dylan. Oh, wait—you did send Desmond a legal notice, which then disappeared into thin air. Hardly anything substantial.”The mockery in his
They were on the fourteenth floor, and he just jumped?Without hesitation, Suzy pressed the button on her watch. A thin silver wire shot out, wrapping tightly around the man’s waist mid-air. To her surprise, he didn’t appreciate the lifeline. Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out a knife and tri
Serena’s words lingered in Suzy’s mind, carving themselves deep: “That man looked quite a bit like you..."She had seen him before—the man Serena described was the same one she’d encountered that night at Evangeline’s estate. If what Serena said was true, that the man had lived here since childhoo
"Can you tell me more about the conflict between your sister and Helena?" Suzy asked, cutting to the heart of what she wanted to know. Evangeline didn’t strike her as the type to seize power by force. "It’s not much of a story—just a misunderstanding, really," Serena replied with a sigh. "Everyt
Serena was three years older than Evangeline, and the two sisters shared a decent relationship. In fact, they were each other’s last remaining family in the world. Their father had been nothing more than a servant, but his striking looks had caught the eye of their mother, the Empress. What starte
"I said, check if Nadia is sick!" Victor repeated, raising his voice for emphasis. "Nadia’s sick?" Graham asked, his exhaustion evident. "If I knew the answer, would I have called you?" Victor snapped. The whole point of this call was to confirm the truth. Finally, Graham seemed to shake off
"What do you mean, 'Nadia is dying'? She’s perfectly fine! Where does she even look remotely like she’s dying?" Victor snapped, his voice laced with disbelief. Not only was Nadia alive and well, but she seemed to be thriving—flirting with that younger guy like it was her new favorite pastime. Th
Seeing Dylan’s awkward expression, Suzy couldn’t help but smirk inwardly. Noticing Riley wasn’t around, she quickly asked, "Where’s Riley?" At the mention of her, Allen’s face darkened. "Don’t even bring it up. Last night, after you told me Riley was pregnant, I went to find her. We barely exchang
Dylan paused briefly on the other end of the line before speaking. "Helena really is dead." "Dead?" Suzy repeated, momentarily stunned. Had she been wrong all along? If Helena was truly dead, then it ruled her out as the mysterious woman. But if it wasn’t Helena, then who could it be? The woman’
Suzy paused for a moment and said, "That woman has been watching our every move from the shadows. Do you think it’s possible she swapped out the blood samples?" "Unlikely," Dylan replied. "If she did, why would she still be so adamant about keeping me out of this? If she’d already tampered with th
