So, they had been betrothed since childhood. Back then, Nadia was sunburned and covered in dirt from the streets, to the point where people would often mock him, saying he had a country bumpkin for a wife.Victor, who already despised the idea, was too afraid to voice his displeasure to his grandfa
Suzy didn’t expect Elliot to regain his memory at this moment. For a moment, she felt awkward, unsure of what to say. “I...”“Mentor, don’t worry. You can lie to me. I’m not angry!” Elliot said weakly. “On the contrary, I’m just happy to be reunited with you.”For the past three years, he had lived
Logically, the people from the Hayes family should have stopped trying to harm Elliot. After all, he was her apprentice, and before making any move against him, they would have to consider the consequences! Recent investigations had indeed confirmed that none of this had anything to do with the oth
With Elliot’s promise, Simon felt much more at ease.If he had to choose, he’d actually prefer Elliot. Not only was he younger than Dylan, but he was also more familiar with Suzy and seemed to care about her a lot.A girl would be much happier with someone who loves her, rather than someone she love
Before this, Elliot had never met Dylan, nor did he even know of his existence. He only learned about him when someone came looking for Suzy, and she refused to meet him. Noticing that Suzy seemed off, he quietly asked the servant and found out that Suzy had gotten married during the time he lost h
After Elliot provoked Dylan, he left one final remark. "Dylan Wright, since you’ve already decided to abandon my mentor, don’t go back on your word. She’s not your possession to pick up and discard at will!"Having said his piece, Elliot turned and walked away. Dylan stared at the iron gate that Ell
Back then, she had sworn she would never forgive him, even harboring resentment toward him. But now, things were different. Before, she gave him several chances, even considering reconciliation. Whether out of gratitude or something else, at the very least, she no longer hated him. So, no matter
“Gone?” Not only Suzy but even Simon and Elliot were surprised by Dylan’s departure. They had expected Dylan to cling stubbornly and refuse to leave, yet less than a day had passed before he seemingly gave up. Elliot sneered. “So much for his so-called love for my mentor. It crumbles at the fi
Tanya glanced at Suzy, her voice edged with frustration. “You don’t believe me, do you? You think I’m just dodging your questions!"I don’t understand why you and Dylan are so convinced I met with some mysterious man. But I swear, I didn’t! Look at me now—I’m at rock bottom. I’m not even afraid of d
Thanks to timely intervention, Tanya was pulled back from the brink of death. However, she remained tight-lipped about the man she’d secretly met. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she repeated firmly. “Tanya, if someone dared to target you here on Dylan’s turf, it shows how ruthless the
The man was unremarkable, about the same age as Tanya.As soon as he saw Suzy, he demanded, “Did you have me detained? Who do you think you are?”“Who do I think I am? Shouldn’t you be asking yourself that?” Suzy replied with a cold smile. “Talk—what’s your relationship with Tanya?”“Oh, so Tanya se
"Do you think you can just decide that you’ll stick around me?" Suzy sneered at Dylan. "Dylan, the only reason I let you in today was to tell you to stop pestering me. "I tolerated you before because of Grandma, but that doesn’t mean I’ll keep putting up with it. From now on, stay away from me. I
"Is there a problem?" Suzy countered. "A man and a woman traveling together... it might spark rumors.”Suzy laughed. "Oh, so you do care about your sister's reputation? I thought you were willing to sacrifice even your own sister for your own goals. After all, you knew she was getting close to Ell
None of them were fools. Suzy suddenly pushing the two of them together clearly had a reason. Was it to hide them from some danger, or was it something else entirely? Neither of them wanted to leave, but Suzy didn’t give them the chance to refuse. She simply ordered them, saying, “Your tickets a
Seeing that Diana seemed genuinely interested in Elliot, Suzy made a decision. “Let me help you!” “No, no, absolutely not!” Diana practically leapt out of her chair at the suggestion. “Sis, you can’t get involved. I can handle this on my own! If you step in, Elliot might get the wrong idea, so I r
Over the next few days, Diana visited Elliot almost every day, bringing him food. The dishes were different each time, effectively making her his personal chef. But with frequent visits came the inevitable spread of rumors. Whispers started circulating within the organization, claiming Diana was
Diana admitted her mistakes earnestly and apologized sincerely to Elliot. “You’re right, and I promise I’ll never do something like that again. My sister isn’t my brother’s possession. She shouldn’t have to waste her life on him.”“Do you really mean that?”Despite Diana’s seemingly genuine tone, El
