"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
"Suzy!" Evangeline hadn't expected Suzy to actually go through with it. Her voice trembled with shock and anger. "That’s your biological brother! You killed him!" "He’s not my brother. He’s a fraud!" Suzy’s face was cold, her tone even colder. "And you, Evangeline, you’re next. Since you’re so d
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.
