That night, the two of them were sleeping soundly when a strange scent suddenly filled the room.Naturally, Suzy was the first to notice it—after all, she was a doctor and more sensitive to such things. Realizing something was off, she quickly pulled the blanket over Dylan's nose and mouth, then sl
Helena seemed to read Suzy’s thoughts. "Whether you believe me or not, we need to deal with her first. Anyone bold enough to break in at this hour can’t be up to anything good. Hurry up and take her down!"Suzy let out a cold laugh. "You really will say anything to protect yourself, won’t you?""Fo
With the evidence laid bare, there was no point in wasting more time arguing with Helena. Suzy immediately called Evangeline and asked her to send someone over."I knew it," Helena said with a bitter laugh, her eyes filled with disdain. "I was right all along. I said it from the start—there was no
The moment the words left her mouth, Evangeline raised her hand and slapped Helena across the face. "You just can’t stand seeing me happy, can you?""I was talking to Suzy. Why are you so worked up?" Helena said, rising from the couch. Without hesitation, she returned the slap with equal force. "I
To test her theory, Suzy tipped the bottle and poured two black pills into her palm, then held them out to Evangeline and Helena.The sisters exchanged a brief glance, saying nothing. Without hesitation, they each took a pill and raised it to their lips."Wait!" Just as Evangeline was about to swa
"The first?" Suzy echoed. So that meant Evangeline hadn’t visited her in months. It wasn’t really surprising.After everything that happened, Evangeline must've been too disillusioned to bother. If Suzy were in her shoes, she wouldn’t have come either. Suzy understood that feeling better than
Hearing Suzy’s explanation, Evangeline finally understood her intent. "I get it. But I'll need to discuss it with the council first. It’s not a decision I can make alone."The news of Serena's potential release quickly sparked outrage among the royal council. Many ministers had already been dissa
"You have no idea how proud your brother is to have you as his sister," Evangeline said with a chuckle. "He doesn’t just brag about you to me—he talks you up to anyone who’ll listen.""Oh?" Suzy laughed. "Is there some juicy story here I don’t know about?""Actually, yes!" Evangeline's eyes lit up
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.
