Not long after Suzy arrived at Hillside Villa, her phone rang. It was a call from Dylan. Thinking he might be feeling unwell, she answered, “Are you not feeling okay?” “No, it’s not that. I just wanted to ask if you got home safely.” Suzy took a deep breath. “Dylan, unless it’s something about
After tidying up her things, Suzy prepared to head out. There were a few herbs she needed to buy.Unable to sleep in the early hours of the night, she had spent the time studying the poison in Dylan’s system. One of the reasons Claude’s poison was so difficult to counteract was that she had never kn
Nadia’s steps faltered. “The Steele family gave me this life. If it weren’t for them raising me back then, I would’ve died miserably on the streets. So, everything I do now—it’s what I owe them.”“And do you think it’s worth repaying them with your life?” Suzy stepped closer. “Nadia, you’re not movi
"After all these years, I didn’t gain much, but at least I became a decent cook.”Suzy didn’t hold back her agreement. "Alright." Watching Nadia walk away, Suzy turned and left as well. She spent the next two days focused on developing the antidote. During that time, Dylan hadn’t called her even
When it came to being oblivious to romantic cues, Suzy could easily claim the top spot—no competition needed.Under normal circumstances, Dylan should have been left speechless by her lack of response. But, true to form, he seized the moment. “I know. That’s why I need to tell you what I truly feel
“How’s that brat doing?”“Sis, is my brother okay?”Seeing the worry written all over Grace and Diana's faces, Suzy quickly smiled to reassure them. “Just a minor issue and it’s already resolved. With me here, what’s there to worry about?”As she spoke, Suzy gently supported Grace by the arm. “It’s
Suzy stood there for over ten minutes, scrutinizing Dylan’s face, but she didn’t notice anything unusual. If it was a disguise, she would have recognized it immediately. His skin was clearly natural, leaving no possibility that Claude had impersonated him.Still uneasy, Suzy waited until Dylan turne
"Then find someone else!" "You just said yourself, no one knows my habits better than Desmond. If there really is someone more suitable," Dylan’s dark eyes locked intensely onto Suzy, "that person… is you."Suzy felt like she had just dug her own grave. She shouldn’t have meddled, but she genuinel
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.
Something was definitely wrong.Suzy decided to confront the Tiger Unit directly. "Why did it take you so long to respond when the attack happened?" The squad leader responded, "We tried to move out the moment we heard the commotion, but someone blocked our path, preventing us from reaching the sce
The intruder, having achieved his goal, didn't linger any longer. As he left, he threw out a chilling warning, "This time, I’ll take Evangeline’s life. In a few days, I'll come back for yours!"With that, he leaped out of the window just as the guards arrived.Under these circumstances, Suzy couldn
After waking up, Suzy found it impossible to fall back asleep.She gave up trying and got out of bed.Here, she and Dylan weren’t sharing a room; she’d asked Desmond to stay with him instead. After all, they hadn’t officially remarried yet, and keeping some distance felt like the right thing to do.
Dylan was visibly surprised by Suzy’s suspicion. "Why would you suspect Evangeline?" Suzy gave a hollow laugh. "Yeah, why would I? She’s my sister-in-law. Of all the people to doubt, why her? I don’t know... Maybe I’m overthinking it. But something about her feels... off." "What do you mean?"
