With Evangeline's permission, Serena immediately went to the prison and took Suzy away. Evangeline, however, couldn’t shake her unease. “The more I think about it, the more unsettled I feel. Serena wouldn’t have suggested taking Suzy without having some kind of plan. If she can be so ruthless to h
"I have no idea who would go to such lengths to frame me and sabotage our relationship as sisters!" Suzy had half-expected Serena to drop the act and be honest with her, but instead, she had launched into another performance. If she loved acting so much, why wasn’t she pursuing a career as an ac
At three in the morning, the door to Dylan’s room creaked open, a narrow gap forming as someone carefully pushed it from the outside. In the past, even the faintest noise—like the buzz of a mosquito—would have roused him. But now… On the bed, Dylan slept soundly, completely unaware of the intrud
"Boss, everything went exactly as you predicted!" Riley eagerly reported to Suzy, recounting the events in detail. "So, Helena really tried to kill Dylan?" "Exactly!" Riley confirmed. "Luckily, you planned ahead and had Allen disguise himself as Dylan and lie in his bed. Helena didn’t realize an
"Why waste so many words? I ended up in your hands because I wasn’t good enough. Kill me or torture me—do whatever you want!" Helena wasn’t truly unafraid; she was gambling. She was betting that Dylan wouldn’t actually kill her. He didn’t know the full story yet, so how could he possibly end her
"Just when my mother thought she had found the love of her life, she discovered that your scumbag father was already married with children. Heartbroken, she returned to Xandria, only to realize she was pregnant with me. "Every other child had a father. But not me. And people never let me forget it
Helena couldn't accept it at all. After so many years, she'd been hating the wrong person. "Dylan, you've done all this just to clear your father's name! "I investigated this countless times back then. It was your father, not anyone else. So, stop making excuses!" She was convinced she hadn't mi
Serena watched Suzy cautiously. "Of course, if you don’t want to go, that’s fine too. I just think this might be a good opportunity for you and Evangeline to reconcile."Suzy thought for a moment. "I think you’re right! I was indeed too impulsive. I acted without investigating and ended up killing s
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.
