A video quickly appeared on her phone screen, showing a private meeting between Dylan and Mark.
Suzy recalled Dylan’s insistence that he had no personal connection with the Goodwin family, but in the video, their interaction told a different story.
Had he lied to her?
Suzy didn’t take the video at face value.
Given Hawk’s tendency to manipulate, she immediately sent the video to Avalon, who was skilled at verifying such content.
Not long after, Avalon replied, confirming the video was authentic with no signs of tampering.
So… Dylan had indeed deceived her.
Just then, her phone rang; it was Allen. “Boss, I’ve been keeping an eye on Mark, and he
hasn’t met with anyone suspicious lately… except…
Suzy’s eyes narrowed. “Except?”
“Except Dylan,” Allen admitted, hesitating. “Just two nights ago, he visited the Goodwin
estate.
Two nights ago was the exact time captured in the video. If Dylan truly had no connection to the Goodwins, why a secret meeting at night?
“Keep a close watch on him,” she instructed, hanging up. Suzy replayed the video, muttering, “Dylan, you’d better not be involved in this, or…”
Over the following days, Hawk kept a low profile, and Suzy decided to let him have his moment, biding her time. She had her hands full anyway.
The Harlow Corporation’s project was entering its official launch phase, and there was also.
Diana…
Despite Diana’s cheerful front during their visits, Suzy couldn’t ignore the subtle signs of unease in her eyes.
She seemed to be struggling with depression.
Most of the time, Diana preferred to be alone, lost in her own world. Like now…
After work, Suzy’s first stop was always the hospital to check on her. As she entered, she found Diana alone, just as she had been many times before. Diana wasn’t sleeping; she sat

distant and
Suzy bit her lip, balancing the items in her hands so she could free one to open the door. Suddenly, a presence pressed close behind her. She didn’t need to turn to know it was Dylan.
The
nerve of him–standing so close he was practically embracing her as he opened the door. “Let me help,”
Did she need his help? Not in the slightest.
But for Diana’s sake, Suzy didn’t say anything, instead greeting her with a smile as she walked inside. “Diana…”
At the sound of her voice, Diana’s blank expression melted into a warm smile. “Sis, you’re here!”
She acted as if she didn’t even see Dylan, her entire focus on Suzy.
“You’re five minutes later than yesterday,” she remarked with a soft, observant tone.
“There was a bit of traffic,” Suzy replied gently. Although it was just a simple comment, Suzy sensed Diana’s mental state had only worsened. Her dependence on Suzy, coupled with her total disregard for Dylan, was unsettling.
Diana hadn’t spoken a word to him since Suzy arrived as if he didn’t exist in her world. It was just her and Suzy, no one else.
Realizing she couldn’t ignore this, Suzy decided to act. Right in front of Dylan, she hypnotized Diana, hoping to uncover her thoughts. “Diana, tell me what you’re seeing.”
At first, Diana didn’t respond.
After about five seconds, tears began streaming down her face as she muttered, “Ugly…so ugly…”
Suzy pressed further. “What’s ugly?”
“I’m ugly,” Diana sobbed, her voice breaking. “There’s this long scar on my head… it looks like a centipede with legs crawling everywhere. It’s hideous, so disgusting.”
