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
And now? Just a few days later, Dylan had completely contradicted himself, and the blowback was undeniable. He’d blocked every possible way back for himself, and now that he wanted to turn things around, it wasn’t so simple. Complaints were one thing, but Desmond still couldn’t help feeling so
With a plan in mind, Diana wasted no time putting it into action. As the saying goes, the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, and luckily for her, she was a decent cook. In truth, Diana hadn’t always known how to cook. After an injury she sustained some time ago, she often found herse
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.
