"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
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 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
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
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
Suzy and Dylan tensed the moment they heard those words. Suzy’s expression turned especially grave. "What did you find?" Allen strode forward, handing her a navy-blue folder. "Someone tried to breach our firewall. It was a targeted attack. But I turned it around on them, traced their ID, and ma
The two siblings chatted for a while before ending the call.After hanging up the phone, Suzy turned to Allen and said, "Continue tracking them."Allen nodded. "Got it. I'll get to work now."After Allen left, Suzy said to Dylan, “You should also send some people to secretly protect Diana and the ot
Diana thought that after saying all this, Elliot’s attitude might change. However, to her surprise, the mockery in his eyes only deepened."So, according to you, I should be thanking her?" Elliot sneered."You don’t believe me?" Diana assumed he thought she was lying. "Everything I said is true! T
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.
