Just as Suzy was about to rip off the mask, the woman reacted swiftly, covering her face and turning away, putting distance between them. "Miss Frost, your actions suggest you’re going back on your word!”The woman’s voice was filled with fury. Suzy sneered. "Can’t I change my mind?" With that
"She was such a heartless leader, always favoring outsiders over her own people. It was no wonder she was bound to be despised.Suzy wasn’t just angry at Allen; her frustration carried over when she got back inside and saw Dylan as well. "Dylan, of all times, you just had to show up now. Do you hav
"Not good, it’s probably that woman sending people after us again," Dylan said as he scooped Suzy onto his lap and ordered Desmond, "Move!"Desmond stood there, speechless. “Show off your charm, but make me do all the work. You’re truly my great boss,” Desmond thought.Without a word, Desmond star
"Of course, I’m afraid!" Desmond replied. "Even the best fighter can’t handle being outnumbered. If a group shows up, I’ll feel much safer with you around. Besides, you’re better at this than me, so I’m begging you—just come with me!" Watching the two disappear down the hall, Suzy scoffed. "Desmon
Suzy’s words carried an underlying message: the only reason her attitude toward Dylan had changed was because she felt grateful to him. But gratitude was the last thing Dylan wanted from her. "Suzy, everything I’ve done for you has been entirely my choice," Dylan said earnestly, his eyes fixed o
”As the saying goes, once is enough when it comes to suffering. I think my boss would be much better off steering clear of yours.”"That’s not fair," Desmond countered. "My boss was deceived by Anne back then. If it weren’t for her manipulation, he never would’ve treated Mrs. Wright that way..." "
The woman ended the call abruptly, and when Suzy tried calling back, the number was already disconnected. Thinking about Riley, who was now in that woman’s hands, Suzy felt her heart clench. She immediately called Allen. "Riley’s been taken by her!" "What?" Allen’s chest tightened at the news. "
"Boss, can I choose not to answer that?" Allen's evasive response was already an answer in itself. In the past, if Suzy had asked him a question like this, Allen would have responded without hesitation. After a moment of silence, Suzy said, "Don’t let Riley become another Nadia Fletcher." …Su
As Dylan and Victor stepped out, they saw Helena standing in front of Suzy's door, alternately pounding on it with her hands and kicking it with her feet. "Suzy, you won’t open the door because you’re guilty, aren’t you?" Helena yelled, her voice dripping with rage. "Of course you are! You played t
Victor had prepared a lot to say, but before he could even get a chance, Helena kicked him out, not even letting him step inside.Returning empty-handed, Dylan frowned deeply. "You can't even handle such a trivial matter!""I don’t like hearing that from you. What do you mean by ‘such a trivial matt
The door slammed shut with an echoing bang, leaving Dylan rubbing his temples in frustration as Helena's parting words about not letting Suzy get away with it reverberated in his mind. This wasn’t going to end peacefully, that much was clear. Pressing his lips into a thin line, Dylan sighed and
Dylan froze at Suzy’s words, her calm yet cutting tone stopping him in his tracks. She was right. If he touched her, he’d have to take responsibility. But in his current situation… A bitter smile tugged at his lips as he prepared to move away from her. Yet, just as he started to shift, Suzy grab
With those words, Dylan stretched out an arm and pulled Suzy into his lap. "Why don’t you join me in testing it out?" "What nonsense are you spouting?" she snapped, trying to push him away. "Helena’s still waiting for you. Letting her misunderstand wouldn’t be good." "She’s no one to me," Dylan
After Helena left, Suzy couldn’t help but imagine Dylan’s face turning green with frustration, and the thought instantly brightened her mood. That would teach him a lesson about throwing his attitude her way!She was just about to head for a shower when her phone buzzed. It was Simon. "Brother,
"Not yet!" "If you’re still awake, could you come to our room for a moment?""Sorry, but I already promised Mr. Wright that I wouldn’t get involved in anything between you and him.”"I see." Helena pressed her lips together before adding, "Actually, it’s not really about getting involved. I just wa
Halfway through the meal, Helena excused herself to use the restroom. Riley, sensing an opportunity, decided she should give Dylan and Suzy some time alone. Perhaps they had things to say that couldn’t be discussed with Helena constantly hovering nearby. With that thought, Riley found a quick excu
"Isn’t this a bit too much?" Riley exclaimed, eyeing the table piled high with food. "How are you going to finish all this?" Suzy replied casually, "Helena’s joining us later." Riley paused, then gave Suzy a thumbs-up. "You’re really nailing this ‘best ex-wife ever’ thing. You’ve taken it to a w
