Chapter 0022
Anne truly hadn’t expected Suzy to record the conversation, let alone deliberately cut out parts of it.
Her heart raced uncontrollably.
She didn’t even dare to look at Dylan.
For so many years, she had always acted pure and kind in front of him, which was why he trusted her so completely.
Now, he must be deeply disappointed in her.
If he discovered that she had been deceiving him all these years…
No, she absolutely couldn’t let him doubt her.
“No, this isn’t me…” Anne anxiously explained to Dylan, “Mr. Dylan, I never said those things.”
She angrily banged on the closed door. “I never did anything to harm you. Who on earth is instructing you to slander me like this?”
Suzy had encountered plenty of shameless people in her life, but none as brazen as Anne.
Anne’s shamelessness shattered Suzy’s perception of her.
Suzy sent the recording to Allen and asked him to forward it to Dylan. “Mr. Wright can have someone verify its authenticity.”
Anne was speechless.
Was this woman trying to drive her to the edge today?
Looking at Dylan again, though he remained silent, the way he looked at her had clearly changed.
His gaze darkened, and Anne sorrowfully asked, “Mr. Dylan, I really didn’t do it. We’ve known each other for so long. I’ve never lied to you. Can’t you believe me?”
Dylan still didn’t speak. He just stared at her for a long time with an inscrutable look before turning to leave.
“Mr. Dylan…”
Anne rushed after him, trying to grab his hand, but he dodged her. “I have business at the
company.
“No matter how much I explain, Mr. Dylan won’t believe me anymore, will he?” Anne laughed at herself bitterly. “I thought, no matter what happened in this world, you’d

always trust me, just like I trust you.
“No matter what others say, I’ve only ever believed in you and would never doubt you. But I didn’t realize, all along, I’ve been fooling myself. Since that’s the case, there’s nothing left to say. If you don’t believe me, then I’ll prove my my life.”
ence!
With that, she quickly ran toward a nearby pillar and slammed into it with full force…
Dylan rushed to catch her, but it was too late.
Blood was already seeping from her forehead where she’d struck the pillar.
Catching her just before she collapsed, the first thing she said was, “Mr. Dylan, do you believe me now?‘
“…I’ll take you to the hospital.”
“No, I won’t go…” Anne struggled, refusing to let him lift her. “If you don’t believe me, what’s the point of living? Besides, I’m already poisoned, and I won’t live much longer.”
“Stop talking nonsense. I won’t let anything happen to you.” Dylan scooped her up in his
arms.
Anne wrapped her arms around his neck, tears brimming in her eyes as she gazed at him. Mr. Dylan, do you believe me now?”
Dylan lowered his eyes to look at her and nodded. “Yes.”
“Mr. Dylan…” Anne buried her head into the crook of his neck, pretending to sob pitifully. Thank you for still believing in me. I’ve never lied to you, and I never will, not before, not now, not ever. So, no matter what anyone says or does, you have to trust me, okay?”
“Okay.”
As Dylan carried her out, Anne shot a provocative smile in the direction of the private room.
She knew the people inside could see her.
Earlier, she had noticed that while the glass on the doors and windows seemed from the outside, everything outside could be clearly seen from the inside.
Did they really think a mere recording could destroy Dylan’s trust in her?
How Naive,
So Ridiculous!
“Dammit…”

Suzy remained indifferent to Anne’s taunt, but it infuriated Riley, who had been watching
from the shadows.

Once the two had walked away, she shoved open the door to the room. “Boss, don’t tell me you’ve spent the past three years being bullied by that little witch?”
Suzy didn’t answer, instead pouring her a glass of wa
“Calm down.”
Riley grabbed the glass and downed it in one gulp, her anger far from quelled.
She slammed the glass down onto the table. “If there had been a chance just now, I would’ve made that little witch regret ever being born.”
The more Riley thought about it, the angrier she became. “Isn’t Dylan supposed to be sharp and clever? Fooled by just a few words from that witch, where’s the sharpness? Where’s the cleverness?”
Suzy’s gaze involuntarily darkened.
Because of love, Dylan was willing to be deceived.
But when it came to her..
—-
Because there was no love, he never believed her.
Seeing Suzy’s silence, Riley stopped talking. She had sensed her sadness.
After all, Dylan was her first love.
How could anyone just stop loving someone the moment they say it was over?
Just as Riley was about to offer some comfort, Suzy’s phone rang.
It was Allen calling-
“Boss, Dylan just called me. He wants to reschedule the treatment. When are you available?
He really was willing to be deceived.
The veins on the back of Suzy’s hand bulged as she gripped her phone tightly. “On the day Claude takes over the company.”
If it weren’t for Claude, she wouldn’t have even continued the treatment.
In fact, it was out of her kindness that she hadn’t poisoned Anne already.
After hanging up, Suzy asked Riley, “Got any cake?”
Her mouth suddenly tasted bitter, and she craved something sweet.
Riley grabbed her hand. “Come on, let’s go have some fun.”
The best way to forget someone was to shift one’s love elsewhere.

At Heavenly Charm.
“Bring me all your handsome and skilled ones, Riley ordered.
Before long, the manager returned with several men who were all good–looking and well- built.
Riley poured Suzy a drink. “Boss, the world is full of men. You don’t need him specifically. If he doesn’t know what’s good for him, just kick him out. No need to hold onto him.”
Suzy took the glass and downed it in one go. “Exactly. If he doesn’t listen, kick him out. The next one will be even more obedient!”
She waved over a handsome guy. “Come over and have a drink with me.
Drowning her sorrows with alcohol was something Suzy had never done before.
No matter how tough things got in the past, she had always managed to control her emotions.
But today…
As the saying goes, drinking to drown sorrows only made them worse. The more she drank, the more miserable she became. She lost control and went far beyond her limit.
“Boss, I’ll take you home.”
Riley helped the completely intoxicated Suzy into the car.
Halfway through the ride, Riley received a call and had something urgent to handle, so she had no choice but to ask the driver to take Suzy home on his own.
Not long after Riley got out of the car, Suzy woke up.
She glanced outside and said to the driver, “This isn’t the way to my house. Turn around!”
The driver hesitated. “Miss Riley instructed me to take you to Hillside Villa…”
“Quit talking nonsense!” Suzy kicked the back of the driver’s seat. “My home is at Bayview
Heights. I’m not going to any Hillside Villa. Turn arou now.”
The driver had no choice but to comply.
With a quick turn, the car sped toward Bayview Heights. 1
