When the red wire was pulled, the bombs around them remained inactive, and Suzy finally felt a wave of relief wash over her.Exhaling deeply, she wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead. "It's over."Ruby let out a long sigh of relief as well. "That was terrifying. I really thought—"Boom!Before
Just as Suzy thought she was facing certain death, the masked man appeared, striding toward her. Without a second thought, he rushed forward and pulled her into his arms, shielding her with his broad frame. The previous fire and now this explosion—she owed him her life twice over. This time, the e
When Suzy woke, her gaze met stark white walls—a strange, unfamiliar room that was clearly not a hospital. A dull ache lingered at the spot on her neck where the man had struck her.Looking down, she noticed her leg injury had been carefully bandaged. Just as she was about to throw off the blanket a
Was he planning to force his way? If that were the case, any gratitude Suzy might have felt for him saving her life would vanish in an instant. "Hawk, I’m warning you—think twice before doing something you’ll regret!" Her tone was sharp, but Hawk didn’t seem to hear her, or he simply didn’t care.
Victor glanced at Graham. "Are you seriously planning to call her? Let me warn you. She won’t come. Worse, she’ll probably think Dylan put you up to it and end up resenting him even more.""That kind of woman isn’t worth it!" Graham had no patience for Suzy. "Cut the chatter and give me her number.
She might be overthinking—after all, no one would risk their life by harming themselves.His wound refused to heal, and leaving now would be ungrateful, so she had no choice but to stay and help treat his injury.After several more treatments, the wound began to improve, but his condition worsened.
Hawk suspected he was hallucinating due to his weakened state. "What did you just say? Say it again?" "Don’t get too excited just yet. Even if I agree to date you, it’s not happening now!" Suzy said. "Not until we find Charlotte. Everything is off the table until then." "Alright!" The fact that
"Of course!" Hawk replied proudly. "She agreed herself." "Your talent for making things up really knows no bounds.”He knew full well how much Suzy disliked Hawk—it was clear as day. Suzy had even told him personally that she wouldn’t choose between him or Hawk. If he didn’t stand a chance, Hawk d
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.
