Evangeline’s crimson lips moved faintly. "His name is…" Before she could finish, her phone rang abruptly, breaking the moment. The sudden ringtone snapped Evangeline out of her daze. Suzy quickly stepped back, pretending as if nothing had happened. When Evangeline came out of her hypnotic stat
If he revealed her identity in front of Evangeline… “That idiot. Just because his legs are injured doesn’t mean his brain should stop working too,” Suzy thought.While Suzy silently fumed, she overheard the servants downstairs whispering, "Why would such an important figure from Zentora visit our
This was the first time in so long that the two of them had been this close. Dylan's face turned bright red, flushing all the way to his ears. Suzy's face was just as heated, and she remained frozen in place, still holding the same posture, completely caught off guard.Dylan had always been someone
The servant who had been relentlessly targeting Suzy fell silent. In truth, she had done it on purpose, her goal being to drive Suzy away. Orders had come from above, stating that Suzy must never discover the connection between her and Evangeline. As a result, she had to come up with every possibl
The message was crystal clear: Dylan needed to stay out of this, or she wouldn’t hesitate to go after him. It was a stark reminder of just how unhinged the woman truly was. Dylan wasn’t some ordinary man—he was the leader of the Yellowtail Squadron, with the full weight of Zentora behind him. Yet,
"Who do you think you are? You have no right to speak to me like that. Get Evangeline out here now!" Suzy demanded, her tone sharp and domineering. "How dare you utter our mistress’ name so casually? Who do you think you are?" the lead guard retorted. "Seize her! Let’s see which fool dares to go a
The news of Suzy’s failure quickly reached the woman. "Damn it! She must’ve done it on purpose. Otherwise, why would she make such a show of going after Evangeline so openly? Suzy Frost, I should’ve known better than to trust your lies!" The woman had thought Suzy had finally relented, but instead
Suzy nodded thoughtfully. "Exactly. She’s the same with me—clearly knows who that woman is, but no matter how I pressed her, she refused to say anything. It’s as if she’s deliberately protecting her." Dylan shared the same impression. "That woman treated her so poorly, yet she still defends her. I
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.
