The next morning, after spending yet another night at the hospital because Anne's pain had kept her from letting him leave, Dylan was finally on his way to the office. As they approached an intersection, he suddenly instructed the driver, "Take me to Bayview Heights."He had been wearing the same c
North Avenue was an hour and a half drive from South Avenue.Suzy arrived at the Goodwin family’s estate as promised in disguise. Using the pretense of treating an illness, she took the opportunity to hypnotize Martin. Unfortunately, she didn’t manage to extract any useful information.As she left,
"Two hundred million dollars?" Dylan barely hesitated. "Deal!"Three years ago, after being drugged during an ambush, a girl saved his life despite being seriously injured herself.After a night together, the girl disappeared by morning.It had been too dark that night to see her face clearly, but
Dylan’s eyes shifted back to the balcony, giving Desmond a subtle look.Desmond searched the area and reported, “Sir, there’s no one here.”“Call the doctor.” Dylan’s gaze turned cold. "And tell the hospital to lock down all exits. Not a soul steps foot inside or out without my explicit authorizatio
When Dylan spun the woman around to face him, his expression darkened instantly, like a shadow passing over his features.From behind, she had looked strikingly similar to Suzy, but her front was a different story. Her appearance was plain, a far cry from Suzy’s striking beauty.The fact that he’d e
At the hospital.The moment Dylan stepped through the door, Anne threw herself into his arms. She clung to him like a rag doll, trembling against him. "Dylan, I feel awful... I feel so terrible..."“Where does it hurt?” Dylan tried to push her away, but instead of letting go, she only clung tighter
Just as Dylan was about to pull off her mask, Suzy swiftly pulled a silver needle from her waist and stabbed it directly into his palm.“Ugh...” A sharp pain shot through Dylan’s hand, forcing him to let go. Seizing the moment, Suzy leaped off the balcony.From the eleventh floor, she landed grace
But the description was still too vague. There were plenty of men who matched it. In just a few hours, they had found several men with gray hair near their bangs.“Boss, something feels off,” Allen said. “It’s almost like this was an intentional clue, and these men with the same features seem delib
“The person who asked me to deliver the photos was a man,” the boy said.“A man?” Suzy was surprised. “What kind of man?”She had assumed it was a woman. To find out it was a man meant that Charlotte, aside from Mark and George, had yet another accomplice. She truly had sacrificed a lot to achieve h
“Who are you? Why did you catch me?” The little boy burst into tears as soon as he saw Suzy. “I want to go home! I want my mom!”“Don’t cry, little one,” Suzy said gently, trying to soothe him. “I just want to ask you a question. If you answer it, I’ll take you back to your mom.”“I don’t even know
Following Suzy's instructions, all individuals who had been at the orphanage with Charlotte during that time were thoroughly investigated, but no one suspicious was found.Back then, aside from Wendy having a closer relationship with Charlotte, she had no other significant connections with anyone at
Allen knew Suzy was probably furious—if it were him, he would be too. But... “I just stepped away to use the bathroom. It couldn’t have been more than three minutes. When I left the room, he was still unconscious. By the time I came back, he was gone.” Allen’s voice carried a hint of disbelief. “I
Suzy arrived at the café Dylan had arranged for her meeting with the woman. The moment she saw her, she got straight to the point. “I believe Dylan has mentioned the purpose of this meeting, so I’ll skip the formalities…” She placed a checkbook on the table in front of the woman. “This is worth tw
“You’re lying to me! You liar!” Timothy shouted as he bolted toward the door. Suzy quickly chased after him. “Dad, wait a moment! She’ll be back soon. I’m not lying—she’ll really be back soon!” “Get lost! Who’s your dad? I don’t even know you. Stop calling me that…” Timothy shoved Suzy aside.
But when Wendy turned around, there was no one there. She had distinctly heard that voice, though. Could it have been her imagination? She searched the area thoroughly but found nothing. It seemed increasingly likely that it had all been in her mind. Without staying much longer, Wendy left. Un
In his heart, there was only Charlotte. If the curse’s poison flared up, it would undoubtedly kill him. After Charlotte’s death, the prolonged absence from her caused your father’s mental state to deteriorate. Now, he’s…" Wendy pressed her lips together, leaving the rest unsaid. "Just prepare your
