When they finally met, Charlotte had done nothing but cry and lament, claiming Suzy was closing in on the truth about her being the killer. Every word dripped with desperation, designed to evoke Ruby’s sympathy.The more Ruby thought about it, the paler her face became."What are you standing there
Charlotte's expression darkened the moment she saw Suzy. Turning to Ruby, she demanded with evident displeasure, “Ruby Andrews, you dare betray me?”Ruby remained silent, staring at her sister in disbelief. This was the same sister she had trusted so deeply, the one she had defended all these years.
Anyone would struggle to accept such a blow, let alone Ruby! Yet Charlotte seemed utterly indifferent to Ruby’s anguish, even adding fuel to the fire. “You’re right. If I didn’t need you, I never would have reconnected with you! From the moment I left the orphanage, I planned to abandon everything
“Yes, they treated me well, especially your father…” The mention of Suzy’s father brought a noticeable shift in Charlotte’s demeanor. Her expression softened, almost glowing, as if recalling the warmth of sunlight after a long winter. “I was six when I was brought into the Frost family. He was sixt
"Charlotte, even without blood ties, my father was your brother by law!" Suzy couldn't believe how twisted Charlotte's thinking had become. "Even if my mother hadn’t come into the picture, it would’ve been someone else. My father didn’t love you, and even if he did, it would’ve been impossible! A f
This place had been Charlotte's contingency plan, a last resort for escape. She knew better than anyone how relentless Suzy’s obsession with uncovering the truth was. Even if using Ruby as a scapegoat worked temporarily, it wouldn’t fool Suzy forever. She needed a safety net, a final card to play i
Suzy’s sharp eyes caught Charlotte’s attempt to pull a dirty trick. She lunged forward, yanking Allen and Riley away, and delivered a powerful kick to knock the vial of poison from Charlotte’s hand. The force sent Charlotte stumbling backward, slamming into the wall with a resounding thud.Suzy did
At the critical moment, Allen struck Charlotte with a precise chop to the back of her neck. Earlier, when he and Riley noticed Ruby returning halfway, they had contemplated going back themselves. It was Riley who suggested waiting to see how things unfolded. Fortunately, he followed her advice; ot
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.
