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 stood there for a long time, so long that his legs grew numb before he finally turned and walked away.…Some found joy while others faced disappointment.News of Suzy rejecting Dylan soon reached Hawk’s ears. His gloomy mood lifted instantly. “I didn’t even have to make a move, and Dylan’s al
Sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow across Dylan’s sleeping face.“Mmm…”He squinted, raising a hand to shield his eyes. Suddenly, flashes of last night flooded his mind.Suzy had come to him. She’d said she forgave him, and then the two of them…His eyes flew open, and he tu
Recalling his past actions, Dylan let out a bitter laugh, his gaze on Anne filled with utter contempt. “Get out!”Anne scrambled to her feet, stumbling toward the door. Just as she reached it, she turned back to him. “Mr. Dylan, I won’t say a word about this, especially to Suzy. You don’t have to wo
“What did you just say?” Suzy looked at Hawk in disbelief. “Repeat that.”With a smile, Hawk obliged. “Starting today, I’ll be officially working at Harlow Corporation.”“And who approved that?” Suzy’s voice raised in annoyance.Hawk pointed directly at her. “You did, of course!”Suzy was left speec
Unable to tolerate him any longer, Suzy threw a punch straight at Hawk. “Just die already!”But Hawk caught her hand, wrapping it in his warm grip. “Such a temper, especially in this summer heat. It’s not good for your health.”She tried to pull her hand free, but the more she struggled, the tighter
Anne expected Suzy to be furious at her words, but Suzy only replied, “Makes sense.”So that was why he’d suddenly confessed to her, so full of apparent sincerity. For a moment, she’d nearly believed him—but it turned out to be nothing more than a petty scheme for revenge. Even if she had believed
That was why he’d held back from seeing Suzy—yet Anne had gone behind his back…Looking at Anne now, any remaining sentiment Dylan once had for her was gone. “My business with her is none of your concern, Anne. Don’t think I don’t know what you’re trying to do.”“Mr. Dylan, I swear, I wasn’t…” Anne’
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.
