Or had she seen through it all along and simply pretended not to? If it was the latter, then her silence was a quiet rejection. The thought struck Elliot like a blow, a sudden ache spreading through his chest. Of course. If even a stranger like Diana could see through his feelings, there was
Elliot’s sudden declaration of “Mentor, I like you,” left Suzy completely stunned. “What did you just say?” she asked, staring at him in disbelief. Elliot was speechless.Judging by her reaction, she genuinely seemed surprised. Did this mean she hadn’t realized it before? But how? Even Diana h
Forget them. Suzy had already said her piece, and whatever they chose to do from here on out was their problem, not hers. Let them exhaust themselves—she wasn’t going to engage. But Suzy had underestimated their determination, as well as their capacity for absurdity. She had also grossly overest
With so much food piled up, just looking at it was overwhelming. Forget eating—it was enough to make her feel full, maybe even nauseous. The very thought of finishing it was stomach-turning. Both men’s faces darkened, each looking more miserable than the other. “Suzy…” “Mentor…” They spoke a
Considering how thoroughly Desmond explained, if Suzy still didn’t believe him, it would suggest there was no trust left between them at all.Besides, Dylan’s leg had ended up in its current condition because of her. How could she ignore him? And on top of that, Diana was with him too. But thinkin
Dylan was furious. His gaze stayed glued to the photo, unblinking, as if it held all the answers to his frustration. Watching him, Desmond felt a pang of guilt. “Sir, maybe Elliot’s situation was more critical, and that’s why Mrs. Wright went to him first.” “Does he look like someone in critic
It was natural for people to feel vulnerable and crave comfort when they were unwell.Dylan followed the housekeeper all the way to Elliot’s room, arriving just in time to see the two locked in an embrace. The sight hit him harder than the photo had. It was clear that Suzy cared about Elliot.
Suzy’s words left no room for negotiation—sticking around would only make Dylan seem shameless.In the past, he never would have tolerated such humiliation. But now…The woman he loved was on the verge of being taken by someone else. What was pride compared to that? Pride meant nothing when weighed
“She doesn’t deserve to be called a mother. Just thinking of having someone like her as my mother makes me sick!” Tanya’s voice trembled with unrestrained anger. Whenever Charlotte was mentioned, Tanya couldn’t keep her emotions in check. “If we could choose our parents, I’d rather be an orphan!”
Suzy blocked the man’s escape and switched on the lights. But before she could act, the man quickly spun around and grabbed Tanya, wrapping an arm tightly around her neck. “Don’t move or I’ll kill her!” If there was one thing Suzy hated, it was being threatened. Her expression turned cold as she
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
