No matter how resolute Claude’s words had been moments ago, seeing Suzy truly about to harm herself broke through his defenses. In an instant, he bent down, snatched a small stone from the ground, and hurled it at her. The stone struck her wrist, sending the knife clattering to the floor. His ey
"Claude!" Suzy rushed forward to stop him, but it was too late. Claude’s eyes locked onto hers as he clung to the last shreds of life. “Suzy... if it wasn’t because you wanted to know where Dylan is, would you even care if I lived or died?” “No, that’s not true!” Suzy’s tears fell uncontrollab
"Avalon dared to hide this from me?" When had this happened? Avalon had kept this from him for five years! No. It couldn’t be true. "Avalon loved you so much," Suzy said gently. "So much that she did countless things for you without ever asking for anything in return. Claude, stop holding onto
No matter what Suzy did, the man refused to reveal Dylan’s whereabouts. His resolve was as unyielding as Claude’s had been. Even when Suzy told him that Claude was dead, he remained silent, his loyalty unwavering. "My master may be gone, but his orders remain. He commanded us never to reveal Dyl
Victor was having a hard time processing it. "Are you saying the person before wasn’t Lucas but Claude?""Yes!" Suzy’s voice was hoarse. "The Dylan from before was actually Claude in disguise. As for the real Dylan, I don’t even know where he is now. I've searched everywhere I could think of but st
They had hoped that once they arrived, they would finally see Dylan. But who could have expected… "When did you see him?" The young man claiming to have seen Dylan was in his twenties, a local from the area. The locals here were all tall and robust, both men and women. Even someone like Victor, w
The man pressed his lips together. "I see." That was all he said, offering no further comments. Suzy didn’t press him for more, and when the day’s tour ended, she handed him another card. "Here’s twenty thousand dollars. Consider it a tip for today. You’ve spent the whole day with us, and I really
They had thought following that man would lead them to Dylan's whereabouts, but the next day, he mysteriously disappeared. The agreed-upon meeting time came and went, yet the man never showed up. Suzy sent people to his home, but after searching for hours, they found no sign of him. When they qu
"I planned to wait until I found Dad so we could reunite as a family," Simon explained. "That’s why I haven’t come back to see you until now.""How did you even know Dad was still alive?" Suzy asked, needing to know who had told him. "I overheard it," Simon admitted. "When I tried to assassinate C
Suzy already had a few suspicions about the connection between Simon and Evangeline, but they were just suspicions. What if things weren’t as she imagined? She needed to hear it directly from him. "About Evangeline and me..." Simon hesitated, his handsome face tinged with a faint, almost impercept
"Because of that, I specifically asked our mentor about it. He told me there was no connection between us, and the familiarity I felt toward you might just be because you reminded me of a family or a friend. "At the time, I believed every word he said. After all, he claimed to have saved my life.
"They…" Simon clenched his fists, his eyes filled with a hatred so deep it seemed to burn through him. "At first, Charlotte didn’t kill the three of us outright. She found three boys around our age, disguised them to look like us, and hid the three of us away in secret. "When I woke up and saw her
"I..." Simon started to speak, but before he could finish, Suzy tilted the glass and poured the entire drink into his mouth. "Ugh—cough, cough!" Simon choked, sputtering as he nearly drowned in the alcohol. Suzy quickly patted his back, looking entirely too amused. "Slow down, will you?" “Slow
Hearing Suzy call him "Brother" made Simon Frost's body tremble involuntarily. He hadn’t expected that after so many years, Suzy could still recognize him. How could she not? He was her eldest brother. It didn’t matter if twenty years, thirty years, or even forty years had passed—she would alw
They were on the fourteenth floor, and he just jumped?Without hesitation, Suzy pressed the button on her watch. A thin silver wire shot out, wrapping tightly around the man’s waist mid-air. To her surprise, he didn’t appreciate the lifeline. Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out a knife and tri
Serena’s words lingered in Suzy’s mind, carving themselves deep: “That man looked quite a bit like you..."She had seen him before—the man Serena described was the same one she’d encountered that night at Evangeline’s estate. If what Serena said was true, that the man had lived here since childhoo
"Can you tell me more about the conflict between your sister and Helena?" Suzy asked, cutting to the heart of what she wanted to know. Evangeline didn’t strike her as the type to seize power by force. "It’s not much of a story—just a misunderstanding, really," Serena replied with a sigh. "Everyt
