"Not only do you have an overactive imagination, but you're also ridiculously self-centered!" she scoffed, amazed at how he could twist such unrelated things into a connection. Seeing him about to speak again, Suzy pulled her hand free from his grip and held up a ‘pause’ gesture. "If you want that
This question was one he’d already answered, so her bringing it up again clearly meant she hadn’t been satisfied with his previous response. Suzy wouldn’t doubt him without reason—something must have pointed her suspicions back in his direction.Seeing Dylan stay silent, her gaze sharpened. “Why are
Eager to hear what Allen had uncovered, Suzy found Dylan’s refusal to leave particularly irritating. “And what does it matter to you who he is?”Allen chimed in, “The boss is right. Who do you think you are? Why should we explain our relationship to you?”Judging from her reaction, it seemed less li
"Because I’m in love with you!"Dylan’s words hit Suzy harder than she’d expected, leaving her momentarily stunned. The bitterness of his disdain over the past three years was still fresh in her mind, and now, just days after their divorce, he had a complete change of heart?Even Allen, who’d suspec
Seeing that Suzy was clearly annoyed, Dylan softened his tone. “No matter who was right or wrong in the past, I’ll make it up to you from now on.”“That won’t be necessary!” Suzy replied bluntly. “I don’t want your compensation, and I couldn’t care less about your feelings.”Couldn’t care less…A pa
“No,” Allen replied. “I’ve found a few leads, but the actual identity is still under investigation.”Suzy’s face fell. She’d thought they’d finally cracked it. If they didn’t have that information yet, what had prompted Allen to come find her in the middle of the night?Years of working together mea
Though Suzy had always seen him as a friend, Allen decided he’d take a bold chance this time!**After a restless night of tossing and turning, Suzy finally managed to get a bit of sleep just before dawn. Her mind had been tangled in knots all night, and no matter how she tried to clear it, unwanted
Her words—"Then die"—were cold and absolute.Everyone present could see that Suzy was done with Dylan. If she had even a trace of lingering feelings, she wouldn’t have said those words so easily and decisively.But Dylan didn’t believe it, not for a second.He stepped forward, tall and determined, c
Dylan was visibly surprised by Suzy’s suspicion. "Why would you suspect Evangeline?" Suzy gave a hollow laugh. "Yeah, why would I? She’s my sister-in-law. Of all the people to doubt, why her? I don’t know... Maybe I’m overthinking it. But something about her feels... off." "What do you mean?"
"You have no idea how proud your brother is to have you as his sister," Evangeline said with a chuckle. "He doesn’t just brag about you to me—he talks you up to anyone who’ll listen.""Oh?" Suzy laughed. "Is there some juicy story here I don’t know about?""Actually, yes!" Evangeline's eyes lit up
Hearing Suzy’s explanation, Evangeline finally understood her intent. "I get it. But I'll need to discuss it with the council first. It’s not a decision I can make alone."The news of Serena's potential release quickly sparked outrage among the royal council. Many ministers had already been dissa
"The first?" Suzy echoed. So that meant Evangeline hadn’t visited her in months. It wasn’t really surprising.After everything that happened, Evangeline must've been too disillusioned to bother. If Suzy were in her shoes, she wouldn’t have come either. Suzy understood that feeling better than
To test her theory, Suzy tipped the bottle and poured two black pills into her palm, then held them out to Evangeline and Helena.The sisters exchanged a brief glance, saying nothing. Without hesitation, they each took a pill and raised it to their lips."Wait!" Just as Evangeline was about to swa
The moment the words left her mouth, Evangeline raised her hand and slapped Helena across the face. "You just can’t stand seeing me happy, can you?""I was talking to Suzy. Why are you so worked up?" Helena said, rising from the couch. Without hesitation, she returned the slap with equal force. "I
With the evidence laid bare, there was no point in wasting more time arguing with Helena. Suzy immediately called Evangeline and asked her to send someone over."I knew it," Helena said with a bitter laugh, her eyes filled with disdain. "I was right all along. I said it from the start—there was no
Helena seemed to read Suzy’s thoughts. "Whether you believe me or not, we need to deal with her first. Anyone bold enough to break in at this hour can’t be up to anything good. Hurry up and take her down!"Suzy let out a cold laugh. "You really will say anything to protect yourself, won’t you?""Fo
That night, the two of them were sleeping soundly when a strange scent suddenly filled the room.Naturally, Suzy was the first to notice it—after all, she was a doctor and more sensitive to such things. Realizing something was off, she quickly pulled the blanket over Dylan's nose and mouth, then sl
