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 glanced at Suzy, saying, “If it were your sister, would you trust leaving her entirely in someone else’s care?”“What are you getting at?” Suzy had a feeling she understood but pressed anyway. “You feel she’s safe at Bayview Heights, but not here? Fine, if that’s the case, take her back yourse
"I..." Simon started to speak, but before he could finish, Suzy tilted the glass and poured the entire drink into his mouth. "Ugh—cough, cough!" Simon choked, sputtering as he nearly drowned in the alcohol. Suzy quickly patted his back, looking entirely too amused. "Slow down, will you?" “Slow
Hearing Suzy call him "Brother" made Simon Frost's body tremble involuntarily. He hadn’t expected that after so many years, Suzy could still recognize him. How could she not? He was her eldest brother. It didn’t matter if twenty years, thirty years, or even forty years had passed—she would alw
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
