The bat tattoo had no connection to Claude. Instead, it was tied to a centuries-old secret royal guard organization from an ancient and mysterious kingdom shrouded in secrecy.When Suzy heard this, her eyes narrowed dangerously. "The Kingdom of Xandria?" "That’s right," Allen confirmed over the ph
"She’d find out eventually," Dylan said. "Grandma has been through a lot over the years; she’s not as fragile as you think."Suzy handed him the glass of milk she had poured. "It seems like you've made up your mind. If that's the case, I won’t stop you."If he wanted to leave, why insist on holding
It had been several days since Dylan left Suzy’s place. He thought she might call to check on him, but she didn’t. Not a single call, not even a message. He should have been happy about this. After all, it meant she wouldn’t be dragged into his mess anymore. But the sense of emptiness in his he
After finishing the prescription, Allen packed up his medical kit. "If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way."Just as Allen slung his bag over his shoulder and prepared to leave, Dylan finally asked, "Is Suzy really that busy?"Why else would she agree to come but send Allen instead? She had to b
Yes, he had already lost her once. If he were to lose her a second time...Just the thought of Suzy belonging to someone else made Dylan’s heart feel as though it were being torn apart. But...Being with him wouldn’t guarantee her safety.She hadn’t had a single peaceful day in the first half of her
Suzy said, "Alright, I’ll never doubt you again in the future!" Steven looked especially pleased to hear that. "Come on, let me take you to my private estate." "I’d rather not. Staying at the hotel is fine," Suzy declined deliberately. "Why would you stay at a hotel when you’re on my turf?" St
Steven’s words were only one side of the story and couldn’t be fully trusted. To uncover the truth, Suzy needed to keep investigating. She disguised herself as a servant and infiltrated Evangeline’s private residence. Despite being the queen, Evangeline didn’t live in the royal palace. Her posit
Evangeline was thirty-five years old but maintained herself so well that she looked like she was in her twenties. After changing her clothes, she headed to the dining room for dinner, while Suzy stayed behind in her room to clean. Taking the opportunity while tidying up, Suzy discreetly searched
"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
Serena was three years older than Evangeline, and the two sisters shared a decent relationship. In fact, they were each other’s last remaining family in the world. Their father had been nothing more than a servant, but his striking looks had caught the eye of their mother, the Empress. What starte
"I said, check if Nadia is sick!" Victor repeated, raising his voice for emphasis. "Nadia’s sick?" Graham asked, his exhaustion evident. "If I knew the answer, would I have called you?" Victor snapped. The whole point of this call was to confirm the truth. Finally, Graham seemed to shake off
"What do you mean, 'Nadia is dying'? She’s perfectly fine! Where does she even look remotely like she’s dying?" Victor snapped, his voice laced with disbelief. Not only was Nadia alive and well, but she seemed to be thriving—flirting with that younger guy like it was her new favorite pastime. Th
Seeing Dylan’s awkward expression, Suzy couldn’t help but smirk inwardly. Noticing Riley wasn’t around, she quickly asked, "Where’s Riley?" At the mention of her, Allen’s face darkened. "Don’t even bring it up. Last night, after you told me Riley was pregnant, I went to find her. We barely exchang
