Chapter 0236
While Suzy hadn’t made much progress, the person lurking in the shadows was starting to feel uneasy.
“I thought this time we could finish her off, but who would’ve expected a mysterious man in a mask to show up and ruin everything?”
In a pitch–black room, a voice, distorted through some device, spoke with an eerie, ghost- like tone. “Have we identified him yet?”
“Not yet. He’s extremely cautious. Every time we try to follow him, he manages to shake us off.”
The voice let out a cold laugh. “I never imagined there’d be another man besides Hawk and Dylan Wright so interested in her.
“Well, it’s no surprise. She got her homewrecker mother’s looks–that face was made to lure men. Back then, plenty of them were obsessed with her mother.”
After a moment of silence, the voice spoke again. “Our tricks won’t hold her off for long. She’ll figure it out soon enough especially now that this mystery man has already uncovered Lisa’s involvement.”
“He’s got skills. Whatever method he used, he traced it back to Lisa effortlessly. Even if Suzy doesn’t believe it right now, eventually, she’ll dig deeper herself. When that day comes…”
“Exactly,” the other voice agreed. “When she does, Lisa will lead her straight to me, and the secrets I’ve buried for years will come to light. No one understands better than I do just how much she hates me. If she discovers the truth…”
The voice trailed off into a tense silence before continuing, “Since Lisa’s name is already out, we have no choice but to sacrifice her. Find someone else to pin it on too. After all, we weren’t the only ones involved. There was another fool who didn’t know their place…”
“I’ll take care of it right away!”
“Boss, we’ve got a lead.”
Allen arrived early the next morning, his expression tense and uneasy.
The moment Suzy saw him, she had a sinking feeling. “What lead?”
Before Allen could answer, Charlotte entered as well. “Suzy, I’ve found something too, but

answer. “It’s about Lisa, isn’t it?”
They both nodded.
Allen sighed. “I can’t believe it’s really Lisa! You’ve treated her so well. I just can’t wrap my head around why she’d betray you.”
Charlotte added, “I think she might have been forced into it. Why not bring her here and ask her directly?”
Before Suzy could say anything, Allen volunteered, “I’ll bring her here. I want to hear what excuse she could possibly have.”
After he left, Charlotte tried to calm Suzy down. “Don’t let this get to you. No relationship lasts forever in this world.”
Then, as if realizing she needed to clarify, she added, “Of course, the bond between you and me will never change. You’re more important to me than my own life.”
Suzy remained silent, saying nothing in response.
She had never imagined that someone she had personally trained and trusted would one day betray her.
If Lisa could turn against her, who else could she rely on?
About half an hour later, Allen returned alone.
“Lisa’s gone.
”
“Gone?” Charlotte frowned. “Did she escape?”
Allen shook his head. “I’m not sure. All I know is that she wasn’t there when I arrived. But
we’ve already sent people to track her down. We should have answers soon.”
As Allen predicted, it didn’t take long to locate Lisa’s whereabouts.
Shockingly, she was with Anne.
