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. "
No one had ever dared treat Maya like this before. She glared at Suzy and asked, "Are you really not afraid of death?" "What do you think?" Suzy replied coldly, her expression unchanging. Maya couldn’t believe Suzy would actually kill her. "Then go ahead. Kill me. But if you do, you’ll never f
At Maya’s private villa, the butler personally escorted Suzy, stopping in front of the finest room in the estate. He gestured toward the door and said, “The man is inside, but he won’t let anyone near him—not even to deliver food. So, I’ll leave you to handle it from here.”The butler’s tone betraye
"I don’t care if I have to turn that entire city upside down—I will find Dylan!" Victor declared, his frustration boiling over. “There’s no need,” Suzy replied coldly, her expression unreadable. “I can handle this myself.” Despite the Whitmore family now targeting her, Suzy wasn’t concerned. In
Suzy followed Maya to an estate called Crystal Garden. "Miss Whitmore, may I ask who you’re looking for? I can inform them for you," the gatekeeper said, stepping forward to block their way. Maya, already losing patience, snapped, "Tell Selena Thomas to get out here and see me!" "Our lady isn’
“You mean that man? I bought him because I felt sorry for him. You have no idea—his face was completely disfigured, covered in terrible sores and pus. You couldn’t even tell what he originally looked like,” Selena explained in a soft, gentle tone. “My parents raised me to help those in need, so whe
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
Suzy quickly made her way to the wine cellar described by the man, heading straight to the back where a large iron cage stood. Inside was indeed a man, but his face was so disfigured it was impossible to tell who he was. Suzy’s heart sank as she scanned his frame. One glance was enough to confir
Selena burst into tears. "I’m just a young woman who’s never even been in a relationship! How do you expect me to get married after this?" "Cut the act," Maya snapped. "I’ll ask you one last time—where is he?" "I don’t know who you’re talking about! I’ve never seen the person you’re looking for!
They followed Maya to one of Selena’s more remote properties. The location was incredibly secluded, surrounded by abandoned structures and barren land. Suzy could hardly believe that Selena would choose such a place to hide someone. Maya pointed to an old, dilapidated factory. "The person you’re
