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
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.
