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
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
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
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
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
"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
"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
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.
