Her clueless expression was a rare sight, and it instantly amused Allen, who chuckled. "Oh, it’s there. A strong smell. Maybe try sniffing again?" Unaware of the mischief glinting in Allen’s eyes, Riley earnestly leaned in for another sniff. "What smell? I can’t catch anything at all!" Suddenly,
Riley hadn’t expected Allen to propose to her. From the way he looked, it was clear he had planned this in advance. This moment—this exact scene—was something she had dreamed of for years. Ever since falling in love with Allen, she had longed for this day. But back then, his heart and mind had b
"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
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
"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
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,
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
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
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.
