Anne shifted her position slightly, a sly smile playing on her lips as she looked at Dylan’s dark expression. “If you’re so determined to give her everything, go ahead. The real question is will she live long enough to actually take it?”
Dylan clenched his fists, barely restraining the urge to lash out. “You’d better pray you can. keep up this arrogance forever.”
Anne smirked, her tone light and teasing “I don’t want to be like this. It’s all because you pushed me to it. I warned you ages ago that I have a short temper and little patience. You’re the one who didn’t listen.”
Dylan had no desire to exchange another word with her.
Without a response, he turned and stormed out
Watching his retreating figure, Anne hummed a cheerful tune, clearly pleased with herself. “Dylan, there’s nothing quite as satisfying as having you wrapped around my finger.
With her goal achieved, she settled back comfortably, ready to focus on becoming the perfect bride.
Despite his anger, Dylan decided to follow Anne’s instructions for the sake of Suzy’s safety. He instructed Desmond to proceed with the wedding preparations, hoping that by pretending to cooperate, Anne would no longer use Suzy as leverage.
But he underestimated just how far Anne would go.
When Dylan found out that it was Matthew and Julian who had attacked Suzy, he immediately had the two of them detained.
In a dark, cramped basement, the father and son sat together, waiting uneasily.
“Didn’t that person say they’d protect us?” Julian’s voice quivered as he glanced around nervously. “Is this what protection looks like? I don’t even know who brought us here, but one thing’s for sure–it has to do with Suzy. We attacked

Once bold, he now resembled a coward, worn down by past failures. “That woman, Suzy, she’s terrifying. If she really is the one who had us brought here, we’re done for.”

He shuddered, recalling firsthand how ruthless Suzy could be.
The more Julian thought about it, the more panicked he became. “I never should have listened to that guy! He told me that if I attacked Suzy, he’d help me reclaim everything that was rightfully mine. Turns out, he was just playing me for a fool!”
As Julian rambled on, Matthew scowled deeply. “We don’t even know who brought us here yet, or what their intentions are: For all we know, we’re being watched right now. Stop saying things you shouldn’t!”
How had he never realized before how foolish his son could be?
“I don’t care whether they are watching us or not!” Julian retorted, his nerves frayed. “If they want information, they can have it. As long as they spare my life, I’ll tell them everything!”
Matthew was about to reprimand him again when Dylan emerged from the shadows. The sight of him made Julian jump. “It’s you!”
Dylan stood there, his cold gaze cutting through the darkness, exuding an air of chilling authority. “Start talking.
Julian opened his mouth to speak, but Matthew quickly interrupted. “Mr. Wright, as far as I know, my son and I haven’t wronged you. Why would you lock us up like this?”
“Dad, stop wasting your breath,” Julian muttered, glancing warily at Dylan. “He’s been listening to us the whole time–there’s no point in denying anything now.”
Turning to Dylan, Julian hesitated. “If I tell you what you want to know, will you let us go?”
“Yes,” Dylan replied coldly.
Julian pressed on. “Alright, I’ll tell you. But you have to promise not only to release us but also to ensure our safety afterward.”
