Dylan’s explanation didn’t convince Timothy in the slightest. "You’re in cahoots with this ungrateful daughter of mine. Do you really think I’d believe a word you say? I’ve already made myself clear..."He turned to the fake Charlotte with a face full of affection. "I will never doubt Charlotte aga
Suzy raised an eyebrow. "Fine."She didn’t have the time or energy to waste on something so trivial and pointless.The man who impersonated Claude was exposed, and Vivian Watson’s son had finally admitted to framing Suzy. Yet, despite this, the police still hadn’t fully cleared Suzy of suspicion.A
Timothy’s actions were too quick for Suzy to stop. As she saw Dylan wounded by her own father, her brow furrowed deeply. She rushed forward and forcefully pulled Timothy away from Dylan, ignoring everything else to try to stop the bleeding. However, Dylan held her back. "Don’t waste your time."
Timothy’s face was filled with regret. "Charlotte is the only person in this world who truly cares about me. And you, you ungrateful daughter, put on a show of being dutiful, but it’s all a façade!"If you were really filial, you wouldn’t stop me from being with Charlotte!"Suzy had heard enough of
"Take a bath, my foot!" Suzy scoffed, rolling her eyes. "Let Desmond help you!"Desmond, who had been awkwardly averting his gaze to avoid witnessing the two of them flirting, stiffened at the sudden mention of his name. "Uh, actually, I just remembered I have a lot of unfinished work to handle. I
Dylan grabbed a blanket and gently covered Suzy, then sat there, staring at her without blinking.To Dylan, Suzy was the most beautiful woman in the world—someone he could never get tired of looking at.She was genuinely exhausted and ended up sleeping for over an hour without showing any signs of w
The two played around for a while until Suzy realized Timothy was about to come back. She quickly had Dylan lie down, covering him with a dark-colored blanket to make him look frail. “Make sure you act convincingly. Don’t let my dad notice anything’s off!” “Don’t worry,” Dylan said with confidenc
Timothy pulled several small porcelain bottles from his pocket and handed them to Suzy in one go. Suzy took them, her expression urgent, and quickly opened each one. “No, none of these! I already examined him earlier. “He’s been poisoned with Red Spider Lily! It’s an incredibly lethal toxin. Witho
Suzy folded her arms and shot Dylan a look. "Dylan, what’s your deal? Not long ago, you were sneaking around stealing antidotes, trying to push me toward Elliot, even calling him a decent choice. “But now that it’s your sister in the picture, suddenly he’s not good enough?" She arched a brow, he
Diana wanted to go after Elliot, and though Suzy wasn’t entirely on board with the idea, she had to admit the girl had a point. If Elliot was left alone, he would undoubtedly spiral into his own thoughts, overthinking everything. Having Diana by his side might help ground him. But… He wasn’t in
“I just want him to be safe. He’s already suffered too much because of me. I don’t want him to go through any more pain. If he has to hate me, then so be it.”What she didn’t realize was that the words she spoke today would set Elliot on a path of no return.Suzy knew that Diana was struggling with
Elliot’s meaning couldn’t have been clearer. He was severing his ties with Suzy as her apprentice.She hadn’t expected him to go this far. It was obvious how furious he was, utterly convinced that they had set him up together. Even though Diana already told him the truth, he refused to believe a
"I was terrified. I was afraid they’d lock me up again, so I ran into the nearest room to hide. But the moment I stepped inside… you grabbed me and threw me onto the bed."She hesitated, her face flushing with embarrassment as she looked at Elliot. "I struggled, I really did. But I was too weak—it
Diana’s words made Elliot’s already icy gaze turn even more terrifying. His voice dropped dangerously low. “What did you just say?”The look on his face made it clear—he was on the verge of losing control. One wrong word, and there was no telling what he might do.But she had already come this far
Suzy’s words left Elliot completely stunned. “That’s impossible.”Allen chimed in, “It was her. I saw her outside the room just now.”Elliot’s frown deepened. “No wonder she kept struggling. I thought it was because I was being too rough, that she was uncomfortable…“But wait, so she stayed silent
Suzy thought she had misheard. "What did you just say?"If her ears were working fine, then why did she just hear something that shocking?Dylan felt the same way. He too thought he was hallucinating. "Say that again."Both of them spoke at almost the same time.Allen had expected this exact reacti
Suzy paused for a moment before curling her lips into a self-deprecating smile. “Back then, I really did manage to stay true to my decision. But later…” She hesitated briefly before continuing, “From the moment you shattered your legs for me, the walls I built around my heart started crumbling un
