“I want to!” Allen replied urgently. “Riley asked me the same question, and I already told her that no matter what, even if there’s no baby, I still want to marry her.”“Is that really the truth?” Suzy pressed.“Of course!” Allen answered without hesitation. “I’ve never taken this lightly. When I sa
Back in his room, Dylan struggled to calm the storm raging in his mind. He knew his avoidance would only leave Suzy disappointed and angry, but he genuinely didn’t want to drag her down with him. Unable to sleep, he tossed and turned until he finally gave in and drank a bit of alcohol to settle
Victor’s simple statement that Suzy was gone hit Dylan like a blow, nearly stopping his heart.He knew exactly what her silent departure meant, more clearly than anyone else.Even though he thought he was prepared for this moment, when it actually happened, he found himself unable to accept it.Her
Victor thought Dylan was wallowing in his emotions, but in reality, Dylan was busy tracking down Suzy’s whereabouts. Despite his efforts, he couldn’t uncover even the smallest trace. It was as if she were intentionally hiding herself. …And Dylan was right—Suzy was indeed deliberately concealing
Drake?The name alone carried an air of intimidation. "If that’s the case, then I might as well meet him," Suzy thought. "Who knows? I might even be able to use him." With that in mind, Suzy ignored the couple, allowing them to carry her to the car in the dead of night. The two seemed complete
Finally, Drake stirred as if waking from a nap, letting out a yawn before speaking. "What did you just say?"It had to be said—Drake’s voice was surprisingly pleasant. Deep and rich, like the sound of a cello.Still, Suzy didn’t hold much hope for his appearance.After all, men in the underworld usu
“It’s you!” The man looked confused. “You know me?”Instead of answering, Suzy asked, “You don’t recognize me?”“Should I?” He studied her intently, but his blank expression didn’t shift.In his eyes, Suzy saw nothing but confusion. “You’ve lost your memory, haven’t you?”His eyes narrowed in surpr
She thought that after that incident, their paths would never cross again. But to her surprise, Elliot had his father pay a hefty sum to track her down, declaring his intent to become her apprentice.Of course, she refused.She had no interest in taking on disciples, especially not one who was alrea
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.
