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
A video quickly appeared on her phone screen, showing a private meeting between Dylan and Mark. Suzy recalled Dylan’s insistence that he had no personal connection with the Goodwin family, but in the video, their interaction told a different story.Had he lied to her?Suzy didn’t take the video at
So, that’s why she was withdrawing from the world?“Diana, listen to me—you’re not ugly, not at all. You’re just as beautiful as you were before…”“No, it’s not true. You’re lying,” Diana sobbed, more tears slipping from her tightly closed eyes. “They all say I’m ugly… I heard them. They said even w
Dylan never told Suzy what he was planning. No matter how many times she asked, he’d just flash a mischievous smile and say, "That’s classified information."Curiosity was a strange thing—the more someone kept a secret, the stronger the urge to uncover it became. And Suzy was no exception. The mo
Dylan's health had been deteriorating over the past few days. Sometimes, even speaking became a struggle.He didn’t dare tell Suzy. She was already overwhelmed with everything going on, and he didn’t want to add to her burden.Suzy noticed his silence after he called her name. He said nothing mor
"Evangeline Manor."Suzy froze. "What did you just say?""I tracked the figure all the way back to Evangeline Manor. They met with the Empress."Her mind went blank.The mastermind she’d been hunting for so long… was Evangeline?She suspected her sister-in-law once before, but she'd dismissed the th
"Evangeline, don’t think like that," Suzy said, comforting Evangeline. "Your kindness isn’t the problem—Serena’s lack of remorse is. Stop blaming yourself. Just leave her to me. I’ll handle everything. You just need to focus on getting better."Evangeline nodded, tears streaming down her face. "Su
Dylan couldn’t figure out what Suzy had in mind. She hadn’t explained her plan, leaving him completely in the dark.In reality, Suzy wasn’t planning to do anything. She’d decided to stop fighting and go along with the game.Whoever was behind this was clearly trying to mislead her, keeping her cha
"Suzy, please don't think that way anymore. If you do, I really don’t know what I’ll do," Evangeline said softly."Okay, I won’t," Suzy reassured her, squeezing her hand. "And you shouldn't think about it either. I’m right here with you. Just close your eyes and rest for a while."Evangeline obedie
Seeing how firmly Suzy insisted that Serena was the culprit, Simon didn’t argue further. He let out a long sigh. "Maybe you’re right. Like you said, the evidence does point to her.""I’ll find a way to make her confess," Suzy said with quiet determination.As they spoke, a loud crash came from Evan
"I’m on my way!" Suzy answered, then rushed straight to Evangeline's room.When she arrived, it was immediately clear that Evangeline wasn't struggling physically—it was her mental state that had deteriorated."I just got back," Simon said anxiously as he paced near the doorway. "The moment I walked
Suzy assumed that after enduring the punishment, Serena would break and tell the truth. But she didn’t.Even after being beaten to the brink of death, she refused to confess.Suzy stood there, watching Serena, who was slumped against the iron frame, her body covered in blood, her breathing shallow.
