A black box. Anonymous delivery. Just from those two details alone, it was clear—whatever was inside wasn’t going to be anything good.It could be something dangerous. Without hesitation, Suzy turned to Allen. "Push Dylan back. Get him out of the way."Dylan, however, refused to budge. "Suzy, I’m
"If that’s the case, then they’ve been setting up this trap for a while and waiting for you to walk right into it. This means we can’t go." If both Dylan and Allen could see the problem, Suzy obviously could too. But… "I have to go. If I don’t, my brother could be in danger." The whole point
Suzy packed up and boarded the plane to Xandria with Dylan and Timothy.Allen wanted to come too, but she wouldn’t allow it.Right up until they were about to board, he was still pleading. "Boss, just let me go with you!"This trip was unpredictable—there was no telling if they would make it back sa
"I’ll go get Dad," Simon said, striding toward the plane. Suzy followed close behind. It had been over twenty years since Simon last saw their father.The moment he laid eyes on Timothy, his emotions spiraled out of control. "Dad… it’s really you!" The sight of his father, who hadn’t changed
Doubt was like a seed—once planted, it would only grow. And that was exactly what was happening with Suzy. Something about Evangeline’s behavior didn’t sit right with her. She couldn’t shake the feeling that Evangeline was hiding something. So, during dinner, she brought it up again. "Simon
Without a second thought, Suzy refused. "Evangeline, you should stay back. Dad’s unstable. He might hurt you."Evangeline smiled reassuringly. "I’ll keep my distance."Since she insisted, Suzy didn’t argue further and led the way to Timothy’s room.Even before they reached the door, they could alrea
Suzy was beyond curious now. What exactly was Evangeline planning to do? And why did she look so confident? Timothy, eager to see Charlotte, ate quickly—shoveling down his food as if his life depended on it. Within minutes, his plate was spotless. He barely swallowed his last bite before hurry
Seeing Suzy looking at her with admiration, Evangeline finally decided to explain."It’s actually pretty simple. Dad’s mind has been affected by years of medication. He’s not thinking rationally anymore. So, treating him like a rational person won’t work.“He’s obsessed with finding Charlotte, right
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.
