"Is that so?" Anne scrutinized Dylan’s every expression, searching for any sign of deceit. She found none.Had she been overthinking it all along?Smoothing her brows, she said, "Fine, but let’s discuss everything after the wedding.""Sure."Dylan’s easy agreement made Anne’s suspicions waver even m
Suzy’s unexpected appearance caused an uproar among the guests. "What is she doing here?" "Is she here to crash the wedding?" "She looks like trouble. We’d better keep our distance."Helena shot up from her chair the moment she saw Suzy and stormed toward her. "Suzy, you wretch! How dare you s
"You should’ve just lowered your head as I asked," Suzy sighed, her tone mockingly regretful. "Now look what’s happened… On such a joyous day, too. What a shame."Allen chimed in from the side, his tone light and teasing. "One jab on each shoulder—at least it’s symmetrical."Helena, too frightened t
Charlotte’s expression froze momentarily but returned to calm in a second. Her face filled with confusion as she looked at Suzy. "What are you talking about? When have I ever deceived you?""You tell me," Suzy said, her voice trembling. She couldn’t believe the one person she trusted, her only fami
"I practically raised you myself. No one knows your temper better than I do," Charlotte said, her voice trembling. "If I didn’t make you completely give up on him, you would never have left. That’s why I worked with Helena to stage that kidnapping. It was supposed to be just for show, but Helena to
Charlotte’s sudden act stunned everyone in the room, catching them completely off guard.Suzy froze for several seconds before snapping back to reality. She rushed forward, snatching the knife from Charlotte’s hand and grabbing tissues from the table to press against the wound. "Leave me alone!" C
The figure stepped beside Suzy, bowing respectfully toward Charlotte’s body. Suzy didn’t turn her head, but out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the visitor. Seeing the familiar mask on his face, she let out a derisive snort. "Ridiculous." Even after his identity had been exposed, h
Suzy never expected Charlotte to specifically mention Hawk in her final letter. It was clear her aunt genuinely liked him, but... Sensing someone behind her, Suzy quickly folded the letter and tucked it away. Before she could fully conceal it, a hand reached over and snatched it from her grasp.
Finally, Drake stirred as if waking from a nap, letting out a yawn before speaking. "What did you just say?"It had to be said—Drake’s voice was surprisingly pleasant. Deep and rich, like the sound of a cello.Still, Suzy didn’t hold much hope for his appearance.After all, men in the underworld usu
Drake?The name alone carried an air of intimidation. "If that’s the case, then I might as well meet him," Suzy thought. "Who knows? I might even be able to use him." With that in mind, Suzy ignored the couple, allowing them to carry her to the car in the dead of night. The two seemed complete
Victor thought Dylan was wallowing in his emotions, but in reality, Dylan was busy tracking down Suzy’s whereabouts. Despite his efforts, he couldn’t uncover even the smallest trace. It was as if she were intentionally hiding herself. …And Dylan was right—Suzy was indeed deliberately concealing

Back in his room, Dylan struggled to calm the storm raging in his mind. He knew his avoidance would only leave Suzy disappointed and angry, but he genuinely didn’t want to drag her down with him. Unable to sleep, he tossed and turned until he finally gave in and drank a bit of alcohol to settle
“I want to!” Allen replied urgently. “Riley asked me the same question, and I already told her that no matter what, even if there’s no baby, I still want to marry her.”“Is that really the truth?” Suzy pressed.“Of course!” Allen answered without hesitation. “I’ve never taken this lightly. When I sa
Back in her room, Suzy couldn’t stop replaying the image of Dylan avoiding her. The truth was, she didn’t truly want to reconcile with him. Even if it was for Grace and Diana, it wasn’t something she felt compelled to do.The real reason she had gone through all this trouble was that she didn’t wa
Dylan never expected that Suzy and Helena were working together! Everything—the drama, the accusations—was all an act orchestrated by Suzy to force his hand. She had teamed up with Helena to pull off this elaborate show. It wasn’t hard for Dylan to see through Suzy’s intentions after all this ef
