Yara was undeniably fast, her movements revealing a clear proficiency in combat. But to Riley and Raven, her skills were nothing to be impressed by.Though they called it a competition, the two worked seamlessly to flank her, quickly cornering Yara in a narrow alley.“What’s wrong? Out of energy?” R
Suzy had deliberately arrived late earlier because she’d been confirming Tanya’s identity. The nightclub was a place Tanya frequented, so it didn’t take much effort for Suzy to get her name. Sharing the same last name as Mark was far from a coincidence.What Suzy still couldn’t determine was the ex
Suzy didn’t buy it. “Just you? All by yourself?”After hiding the truth for over twenty years, would Mark really confess everything now, just to protect Tanya?Mark nodded. “Yes.”Suzy let out a mocking laugh. “And the reason?”“No real reason, just jealousy of your father,” Mark replied. “We were c
As Suzy pressed the blade against Tanya’s neck, ready to make the cut, Mark panicked and called out, “Suzy, every crime has its culprit. I’m the one responsible for their deaths. If you want revenge, take my life but leave my daughter out of this. She’s innocent!”“Innocent?” Suzy’s lips curled into
"Over a hundred lives lost, and you think repaying it with just your own will suffice? That’s far too easy for you," Suzy said coldly, her gaze shifting to Tanya. Her face had grown pale from the blood loss, and Suzy’s tone turned sharp. "Tanya seems to have a thing for handsome men. Since we know
This was the first time Tanya had ever asked this question in all these years.Even though Mark had never said anything outright, Tanya had long suspected that he was protecting someone. She had chosen not to ask, assuming that if he wanted her to know, he would have told her. But now, after everyth
“Tanya, I know I’ve wronged you,” Mark said, his voice heavy with guilt. “But I made a promise to her—never to tell you who she is.”His face was filled with anguish as he looked at Tanya. “And there’s a good chance Suzy is listening in on us right now. That’s why I can’t say any more.”Tanya felt a
Suzy understood exactly what Hawk was implying, but she couldn’t bring herself to believe it. Her aunt was gone—she had died in her arms. How could that possibly be a lie?Seeing the doubt flicker across her face, Hawk chuckled lightly and continued, “I get it. It seems impossible. Your aunt passed
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.
