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
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
"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
"They…" Simon clenched his fists, his eyes filled with a hatred so deep it seemed to burn through him. "At first, Charlotte didn’t kill the three of us outright. She found three boys around our age, disguised them to look like us, and hid the three of us away in secret. "When I woke up and saw her
"Because of that, I specifically asked our mentor about it. He told me there was no connection between us, and the familiarity I felt toward you might just be because you reminded me of a family or a friend. "At the time, I believed every word he said. After all, he claimed to have saved my life.
Suzy already had a few suspicions about the connection between Simon and Evangeline, but they were just suspicions. What if things weren’t as she imagined? She needed to hear it directly from him. "About Evangeline and me..." Simon hesitated, his handsome face tinged with a faint, almost impercept
"I planned to wait until I found Dad so we could reunite as a family," Simon explained. "That’s why I haven’t come back to see you until now.""How did you even know Dad was still alive?" Suzy asked, needing to know who had told him. "I overheard it," Simon admitted. "When I tried to assassinate C
"You have no idea. I just saw a man walk out of her room!" Victor fumed, his expression filled with indignation. "A man leaving a woman’s room in the middle of the night—what do you think that means? "You nearly died for her, and now she’s sneaking around with some other guy behind your back!" He
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.
