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
"When have I ever not treated him like a person?" Had Victor been drinking too much or something? There was no other explanation for the nonsense he was spouting.Unaware that Victor had seen Simon leaving her room, Suzy assumed he was just drunk and ranting."When have you ever treated him like a
Victor hadn’t expected Suzy to admit it so readily. His whole body trembled with fury. “You actually admitted it? Fine, just fine. I’m going to tell Dylan right now!” As soon as he turned around, he froze. Standing behind him, silently and composed as ever, was Dylan. “Dylan, did you hear that?
"Good, if that’s the case," Dylan said, frowning. "So, Evangeline is innocent, and the real masterminds are Serena and Helena. Does your brother have any leads on Helena?""Not yet," Suzy replied. "My brother said Helena is extremely cunning. He’s been searching for her for months and hasn’t uncover
The man’s voice from inside the room was identical to Simon’s, but Suzy knew better than to trust what she heard. Words could be deceiving, and with someone as cunning as Serena, nothing was as it seemed. Suzy quietly cracked the door open just enough to peek inside. The moment her eyes landed on
Simon quickly approached, his expression full of urgency, and called out to the guards, “Stand down!” The guards hesitated for a moment, confused. They had just been ordered to eliminate Suzy, and now they were being told to retreat. But orders were orders, and within moments, they dispersed, retu
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
