The real issue wasn’t just bumping into Dylan—it was that he had already noticed her.She should’ve waited a bit longer, at least until he had fully left the Harlow estate. A miscalculation, indeed.But regret wasn’t the priority. She needed to come up with a reasonable excuse—fast.Dylan’s steps
He had worked for the Harlow family for nearly thirty years. Though a butler, his influence was unrivaled, only second to the head of the family.Since Claude had never been appreciated within the family, he’d always dismissed him as unimportant. But times had changed, and with Claude on the brink o
"Jealous?" Dylan questioned himself, though he already knew the answer. His lips twisted into a mocking smile. "You’re just an ex-wife. Do you really think that’s even possible?"Suzy laughed instead of getting angry. "Exactly, so whatever I choose to do is none of your business, Mr. Wright."With t
She had her reasons for keeping her relationship with Dylan under wraps. If she didn’t want to explain, he wouldn’t press.That night, Allen slipped in discreetly to deliver her things, voicing his disapproval. “Even if you want to protect Claude, do you really need to do it personally? Why not let
Suzy was getting ready to accompany Claude to the office. Now that she was his personal caretaker, it was only natural for her to go wherever he did. While he went inside to change, she waited outside the door, idly kicking a pebble around. Suddenly, a strong hand gripped her arm.The touch was fam
No wonder the investigation had led nowhere—she hadn’t fully grasped just how conniving Anne really was. Suzy had thought Anne was just a little manipulative, but it turned out she was both cunning and low enough to go to any lengths.“Anne, we could’ve stayed out of each other’s way, but you had to
Seeing it was Suzy, Anne froze, stunned for a moment before fully grasping the situation.“Suzy, it’s you!” she snarled, lunging toward her with claws outstretched. Anne could hardly believe it was Suzy who’d orchestrated her capture.“Yes, it’s me! You dumped a whole load of dirt on me, so I figur
As Suzy advanced step by step, Anne’s panic overwhelmed her, and she could no longer worry about the rat that might still be crawling inside her pants. Her heart was pounding rapidly as she backed away, only to feel the cold wall press against her spine—there was nowhere left to run.Right now, Suzy
The man was unremarkable, about the same age as Tanya.As soon as he saw Suzy, he demanded, “Did you have me detained? Who do you think you are?”“Who do I think I am? Shouldn’t you be asking yourself that?” Suzy replied with a cold smile. “Talk—what’s your relationship with Tanya?”“Oh, so Tanya se
"Do you think you can just decide that you’ll stick around me?" Suzy sneered at Dylan. "Dylan, the only reason I let you in today was to tell you to stop pestering me. "I tolerated you before because of Grandma, but that doesn’t mean I’ll keep putting up with it. From now on, stay away from me. I
"Is there a problem?" Suzy countered. "A man and a woman traveling together... it might spark rumors.”Suzy laughed. "Oh, so you do care about your sister's reputation? I thought you were willing to sacrifice even your own sister for your own goals. After all, you knew she was getting close to Ell
None of them were fools. Suzy suddenly pushing the two of them together clearly had a reason. Was it to hide them from some danger, or was it something else entirely? Neither of them wanted to leave, but Suzy didn’t give them the chance to refuse. She simply ordered them, saying, “Your tickets a
Seeing that Diana seemed genuinely interested in Elliot, Suzy made a decision. “Let me help you!” “No, no, absolutely not!” Diana practically leapt out of her chair at the suggestion. “Sis, you can’t get involved. I can handle this on my own! If you step in, Elliot might get the wrong idea, so I r
Over the next few days, Diana visited Elliot almost every day, bringing him food. The dishes were different each time, effectively making her his personal chef. But with frequent visits came the inevitable spread of rumors. Whispers started circulating within the organization, claiming Diana was
Diana admitted her mistakes earnestly and apologized sincerely to Elliot. “You’re right, and I promise I’ll never do something like that again. My sister isn’t my brother’s possession. She shouldn’t have to waste her life on him.”“Do you really mean that?”Despite Diana’s seemingly genuine tone, El
With a plan in mind, Diana wasted no time putting it into action. As the saying goes, the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, and luckily for her, she was a decent cook. In truth, Diana hadn’t always known how to cook. After an injury she sustained some time ago, she often found herse
And now? Just a few days later, Dylan had completely contradicted himself, and the blowback was undeniable. He’d blocked every possible way back for himself, and now that he wanted to turn things around, it wasn’t so simple. Complaints were one thing, but Desmond still couldn’t help feeling so
