The reason Tanya frequently changed partners boiled down to one thing—she’d been deeply hurt by men before. Growing up abroad, she lived alone for most of her life. From as far back as she could remember, her closest companion had always been the family nanny. But when the nanny passed away due to
Suzy immediately headed to Charlotte’s private villa, her mind solely focused on tracking her down as quickly as possible. She remained completely unaware of everything happening with Dylan—unaware that Diana had tried to contact her, unaware of Hawk’s interference, and oblivious to the fact that D
Riley seemed to agree. "It’s possible we’ve been tricked. Someone like Mark, who’s so obsessed with Charlotte, wouldn’t be swayed by just a few words." Suzy stared at the family portrait, lost in thought. When Mark revealed this secret, she had carefully observed his expression. There were no si
The door opened, revealing a simple room with only a bed inside. Lying on the bed was a woman. It wasn’t Charlotte, but a disfigured woman whose features were entirely unrecognizable. Riley noticed her too and asked, “Who are you?” The woman seemed unable to hear, showing no reaction at all.
Riley quickly explained the situation. "That woman was turned into a puppet by Charlotte, programmed to attack Suzy. Suzy feels sorry for her and doesn’t want to harm her, so she asked me to find a rope to restrain her." Allen’s expression darkened, his brow furrowing deeply. "I’ll look for one. Y
"She’s your mother, whom you haven’t seen in over twenty years..." Suzy outright refused to believe it. "Charlotte, do you think I’m still gullible enough to believe anything you say?" After being deceived for so many years, there wasn’t a single truthful word Charlotte had ever spoken to her. S
"That injury ruined her uterus. From that moment on, she could never have children again! A woman who couldn’t bear children and had nothing left but that seductive face to keep your father’s attention. What use did she have anymore? So, I took a knife and peeled her face off, layer by layer, like p
Though she hadn’t seen her mother in over twenty years, Suzy’s love for her had never waned. If losing Claude before had shattered her heart, her mother’s death now was enough to destroy her entirely. Clutching her mother’s lifeless body, Suzy refused to let go, even as Charlotte emerged from a
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.
