In the surveillance footage, she left without a bond of hesitation, while the other woman didn’t leave until dawn.
So, the woman in his dream wasn’t Suzy at all–it was that man
Smash!
Dylan threw his phone against the wall.
It wasn’t anger toward Suzy that consumed him, but the painful truth he didn’t want to accept Suzy no longer had any feelings for him.
If she did, she wouldn’t have done something like this.
The realization hit hard. Her previous willingness to reconcile with him wasn’t out of rekindled affection—it was pure gratitude.
The more he thought about it, the more it tore at him. A deep sense of confusion and helplessness overwhelmed Dylan.
If she no longer loved him, was there any point in continuing to hold on?
After finally getting Dylan to leave, Elliot arrived, immediately questioning Suzy the moment they met.
“After you called me last night, I looked into it. Turns out the Scarlet Veil toxin Dylan was exposed to was a modified version–far more potent.
There wouldn’t have been time to develop an antidote, so last night…”
“What exactly are you trying to ask?” Suzy stared at him. “Whether or not something happened between me and him?”
The question wasn’t one a mentor and student should discuss, but their relationship had long since deviated from
the norm.
“Suzy, are you still doubting me?” Elliot frowned deeply.
“I wasn’t before, but what you just said makes me question you again. The moment Dylan was admitted to the hospital, I locked down the news…”
Suzy’s gaze was sharp as it fixed on him. “You claimed you investigated it–where exactly did you get your information?”
“L”
“If you’re going to lie, don’t waste my time.” Her piercing gaze bore into him. “Elliot, I never thought you’d actually stoop to something like this!”
“If you wanted to test me, to see if I still had feelings for Dylan, there were plenty of other ways to do it. But you chose to poison him with Scarlet Veil!”
She knew how insidious the toxin was, and there was no way Elliot didn’t understand its effects.
Even if the poison was neutralized, it would cause irreversible damage to the body.
The more she thought about it, the angrier Suzy became.

“If you’d used any other method, I wouldn’t have blamed you. But you went with the one thing I could never accept!
“Elliot, the bond between mentor and student ends here! From now on, you’re no longer my student, and don’t ever tell anyone that I was your mentor!”
Her voice was cold as she pointed toward the door. “Leave!
“You’re ending our relationship over Dylan?” Elliot’s brows furrowed deeply.
“You keep saying you don’t love him anymore, but this is what not loving him looks like?
“When something happens, I’m the first one you suspect. Now, you won’t even listen to my explanation. Is that how little I mean to you?”
Elliot’s chest ached as he spoke. “We’ve known each other for so many years. I always thought I held a special place in your heart.
“But now I see that, besides Dylan, no man matters to you at all.”
His voice grew hoarse, and his eyes reddened. “End it, then. If that’s what you want.”
With a bitter laugh, Elliot turned and stormed out.
The door slammed behind him with a resounding bang, and Suzy winced at the noise, her head throbbing. “That brat! He makes a mistake and still has the audacity to throw a tantrum. I must have spoiled him too much!” Her declaration to cut ties had been said in anger, meant as a lesson. She hadn’t expected him to actually…
