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
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
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!
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
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
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
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
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.
