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
"Aside from being angry, do you really not feel anything else?" Suzy asked. After all, Nadia had been by Victor’s side for so many years. Even if there wasn’t love, surely there was some familial bond. How could he seem so indifferent when someone close to him was sick?"Nothing," Victor replied wi
Miss Maya, whose full name was Maya Whitmore, had just turned twenty. Through her investigation, Suzy learned that Maya was the daughter of the richest man in the region, a figure who essentially ruled the area like a local king. Being his daughter made Maya the equivalent of a princess. It was
She hadn’t expected Suzy to track her down here after all. Narrowing her eyes, Maya let out a cold laugh. "Too bad the person you’re looking for is already dead." Suzy moved like a gust of wind—before anyone could react, she was in front of Maya, her hand wrapped around her neck. "Maya Whitmore, m
Maya had underestimated Suzy’s reflexes. In a flash, Suzy leaped out of the coffin, her movements swift and precise. She grabbed Maya and hurled her into the coffin instead, then stood guard, ensuring no one dared come near. The butler’s face turned ashen as he saw Maya shoved into the coffin. "
The man in black remained unfazed. "Oh, I forgot to mention, Miss Frost, I’ve been immune to poisons since childhood. Ordinary toxins have no effect on me. If you want to take me down, you’ll need something far more exotic." Suzy was speechless.It seemed Claude’s men weren’t to be underestimated.
The blade struck Dylan’s shoulder, a blow that added to his already battered and bloodied body. His arms and ankles, pierced and torn, bled profusely, and Suzy’s heart clenched at the sight. "Dylan… Are you insane?" Breaking free from the chains like that—did he have a death wish? "Suzy..." Dy
“Yes, it’s me!” Suzy said softly. “I’m sorry I came late.” Dylan was speechless.Seeing the faint redness in Suzy’s eyes, Dylan finally accepted that what he was seeing was real. This wasn’t some hallucination brought on by his longing for her. It was truly Suzy standing before him. After nearly
A group of burly men instantly surrounded Suzy, their sheer size and strength making her look like a defenseless rabbit encircled by a pack of wolves. Following the priest's orders, they launched a brutal assault, aiming to take Suzy down with no mercy. But Suzy wasn’t someone to be easily dealt
As Selena finished speaking, blood suddenly trickled from the corner of her mouth. “Damn it, she bit her tongue to kill herself!” Victor stared at Selena in disbelief. “What kind of methods did Claude use to make these people so fanatically loyal to him?” Looking at Selena's lifeless body, Suzy
Whether Selena orchestrated the deception with the fake Dylan on her own or under someone else's orders remained unclear. Either way, it was undeniable that she was deeply connected to his disappearance. Suzy had no patience left for games. Going to confront Selena again would yield the same evasi
Selena pressed her lips together before finally revealing the truth. "Someone threatened me. They said if I told anyone, they’d kill me." "Who?" Victor demanded, his tone sharp. "I don’t know who he is," Selena replied, shaking her head. "He always wore a mask. The day after I bought this man, h
When Suzy stormed back into the café, Selena’s expression faltered. "Miss Frost, why did you show up in the middle of the night? Are you here for a drink?" Slap!Suzy didn’t waste time on pleasantries, striking Selena hard across the face. "Where is he?" "You’ve already searched everywhere," Sel
Suzy felt a pang of guilt for lying to Grace, but she had no choice. If Grace ever learned the truth, it would devastate her. No matter what, the news of Dylan’s disappearance had to be kept from her. "Let that rascal talk to me," Grace said over the phone, still sounding uneasy. "I’ve been having
