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
The two of them never let personal feelings interfere with work. After a moment of silence, Suzy instructed, “Send someone to investigate Mark thoroughly again.”There was a chance, however slim, that Mark might have hidden something on himself to secretly communicate with someone. However, the se
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
Victor’s simple statement that Suzy was gone hit Dylan like a blow, nearly stopping his heart.He knew exactly what her silent departure meant, more clearly than anyone else.Even though he thought he was prepared for this moment, when it actually happened, he found himself unable to accept it.Her
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
As Dylan and Victor stepped out, they saw Helena standing in front of Suzy's door, alternately pounding on it with her hands and kicking it with her feet. "Suzy, you won’t open the door because you’re guilty, aren’t you?" Helena yelled, her voice dripping with rage. "Of course you are! You played t
