Vivian thought for a moment and realized it truly wasn't worth it. She then confessed to Allen, "Someone did ask me to do it."Allen quickly asked, "Who?""I don’t know. That person approached me out of the blue and told me to find someone to take something out of the grave next to my father’s. “H
Suzy handled her father with the care and patience one might use with a child, gently coaxing him into a good mood. They say the elderly become like children again, and in his case, it couldn’t have been more true. Especially since his rationality was further affected by medication, making him ev
Suzy tried calling Dylan, but there was no answer. Frustrated, she called Desmond instead. “Where’s Dylan?”It didn’t seem like anything serious had happened. If it had, Desmond would have already informed her. But why wasn’t Dylan answering? Was he too busy, or had he simply not heard the phone?
Dylan glanced at Desmond and waved him off. “Go ahead.”“On it!” Desmond replied cheerfully, walking out with a spring in his step. He couldn’t help but marvel at his own flawless performance. Not a single crack in his act! At this rate, he might have a future in the entertainment industry. With h
"Dylan, don’t push your luck.”Just wheeling him to the bathroom was already more than enough of a favor. Now he was thinking about things he shouldn’t? He was clearly getting ahead of himself."My hands have been numb since early this morning," Dylan replied, shaking his wrist with an expression
"Forget it, just go. I’ll call Desmond later. If he’s not available, I’ll manage on my own. Even if the weather’s freezing and I catch a cold, so be it."Suzy chuckled. "Dylan, I’m curious—who taught you this art of emotional manipulation? You never used to be like this. Did you hire a private tutor
The situation was painfully clear to Suzy—she’d been set up. Whoever was behind this had been monitoring her every move, laying out a trap long before she arrived, just waiting for her to walk into it. Her gaze sharpened as she looked at the man in front of her, his eyes blazing with hatred. "Y
“"Besides, she’s nowhere near my mom’s age—she looks about the same age as me." After finishing his questioning, the officer turned back to Suzy. “Do you know the deceased?”“No, I don’t,” Suzy replied calmly. “As he just said, I don’t know the victim at all. Why would I kill someone I’ve never eve
"Jump, and I’ll let her go…" That sentence echoed in Suzy’s mind over and over. The man sneered when Suzy remained frozen. "What’s the matter? Didn’t you say Diana is like a sister to you? Turns out it’s all talk. When it comes down to it, you’re not willing to sacrifice your life for hers. "
The man’s gaze, eerily similar to Claude’s, was enough to make anyone second-guess. But to Suzy, the situation felt too suspicious.If this man was truly Claude, why go to such lengths to steal the ashes? Everything he had done seemed deliberately designed to make her believe it was Claude. If
Even though she saw him with her own eyes, Suzy still didn’t believe it. "I have to admit, your disguise skills are impressive…" Before she could finish, the man interrupted her with a soft laugh. "Suzy, even after seeing me with your own eyes, you still don’t believe I’m alive? Fine, come closer
The drive took about an hour and a half. When Suzy reached her destination, she got out of the car without hesitation.It was a mountaintop.The biting winter cold was relentless, with the wind howling and scattering Suzy’s hair. This mountain was a place she often came to when her mind was restl
The message from the caller couldn’t have been clearer: if Suzy wanted Diana to live, she would have to trade her own life.The phone wasn’t on speaker, so Dylan couldn’t hear the conversation. Suzy had no intention of telling him what was said, even as he pressed her for answers. "What did they sa
When Suzy received the photo sent by the enemy, a wave of rage surged through her entire body. The image showed Diana tightly bound, surrounded by a group of men with menacing expressions. The sender hadn’t said anything, but their intent was clear. Suzy instantly understood the threat. The th
Dylan's heartfelt confession stirred something in Suzy, but she quickly suppressed it."Now’s not the time for romance!" Suzy pulled her hand out of Dylan's grasp again. "There are so many people counting on us to save their livelihoods. Focus, and stop with the useless chatter!"Dylan nodded. "Got
"Dylan..." Suzy shivered, her skin crawling. "At your age, don’t you think this is terrifying? And where did you even learn this from? "Acting cute works for some people, but not for everyone! When others do it, it’s charming, but when you do it, it’s like... like an old bull stumbling into a cos
As Suzy guessed, the person had indeed turned their attention to Dylan.What she feared the most had finally happened. Now that things had started, there was no point in saying anything more. Even if she tried to distance herself from Dylan at this stage, it likely wouldn’t stop the other party.No
