Chapter 0740
"That's exactly Charlotte's brilliance," Suzy said with a bitter smile.
"Every tsomeone investigates her, they find no connection. But what happens later? It's always a different
story."
She laughed at herself, the sound laced with self-mockery.
"I lived with Charlotte for so many years. Before | revealed my true identity,
everyone thought | had no ties to her either. Her greatest skill is her ability to hide. If not for that, | wouldn't have
been fooled for so many years."
Thinking about the years of deception, Suzy couldn't help but feel like a fool.
If she had been just a little smarter, Charlotte's schemes would have fallen apart long ago.
And then there was Claude.
Between the two of them, one manipulated her through family ties, the other through friendship. For twenty

years, they'd treated her like a pawn in their games.
Now they were both dead, yet their influence continued to haunt her life.
Noticing the shift in Suzy's expression, Dylan wheeled himself closer and placed her hand in his.
"Once we uncover the person behind all this, it'll all be over. After that, everything related to Charlotte will have
nothing to do with you anymore. Don't let irrelevant people affect your mood."
Suzy gazed at Dylan deeply for a moment and then nodded. "Okay."
Yet she couldn't shake the unease that had been growing in her chest. It was a feeling she couldn't quite put into
words, as if something terrible was about to happen.
But how could things possibly get worse when everything was already so bad?
As the thought crossed her mind, her right eyelid twitched again.
She'd never believed in superstitions before, but now she wasn't so sure.
After all, Dylan had narrowly
escaped disaster today. If he hadn't been prepared in advance, the
poison might have already taken his
life.
"Dylan, no matter what happens, you must remain vigilant."
She couldn't bear for anything similar to happen again.
Dylan understood her concern. "Don't worry. I'll take care of myself. Only by protecting myself can | protect you."
Suzy added, "And Grandma and

decisions for her sake.
He had already sacrificed enough for her. She just wanted him to stay safe in the future.
Seeing Dylan's silence, Suzy frowned and urged, “Answerquickly!"
Dylan knew her thoughts well and realized she wouldn't be reassured unless he agreed. Suppressing his true
feelings, he nodded.
"Alright, | promise you. No matter what happens, Grace and Diana will always cfirst."
"Dylan, don't just say it. You have to mean it!"
Suzy grabbed his hand firmly. "Promise me! If you break this promise, letface the worst fate imaginable!"
