The grave had been restored so remarkably well that anyone less meticulous than Suzy wouldn’t have noticed the disturbance at all.
Who would tamper with a dead person’s grave?
Could it be the same person responsible for murdering her family?
Wanting to uncover what had been done, Suzy ordered the coffin to be opened. But what she discovered was something she never expected–Charlotte’s body was gone.
The coffin was completely empty.
If Dylan hadn’t brought her here, she might never have found out.
Suspicion crept into her mind as she turned to Dylan, her eyes narrowing. “Dylan, I recall your parents‘ memorial isn’t until next week.”
Dylan’s brow furrowed tightly. “So, you think I’m the thief shouting to catch the thief?”
“You tell me.” Suzy let out a cold laugh. “After all, you have every reason to hate my aunt.
It wasn’t untrue. Her aunt had gone to great lengths to keep the two of them apart, even doing things that worked against Dylan’s interests. In her final moments, she had even used her dying breath to tell Suzy not to be with him.
That made Dylan an obvious suspect.
“What would I gain from doing this?” Dylan snapped. “Can’t you, for once, think of me in a better light?”
Suzy crossed her arms and stepped closer, her tone dripping with mockery. “And isn’t this your gain? Creating a reason to get close to me under the guise of concern. It’s all very convenient.”
Dylan’s jaw tightened, his frustration barely contained. “Is that really what you think of me? That I’d stoop so low?”
“Yes.” Suzy’s lips curled into a sneer. “To me, you’re exactly that kind of person. So let me save you the trouble. Give up on your little dream of getting back together with me.
“You’re still young, Dylan. Go find someone else. Maybe then Grandma will finally get the great–grandchild she’s been dreaming of before it’s too late.”
Dylan felt like he’d been punched in the chest.
Was she trying to kill him with frustration? Because it sure felt like it.
Dylan pulled her into his arms, his voice low and deliberate. “For

Grandma, nothing would make her happier than you giving birth to her great–grandchild coming. So, Miss Frost, why not do her a favor and grant her wish?”
Ha…”
Suzy shoved him away, her gaze cold. “Have you forgotten your own words, Mr. Wright? On our wedding night, you told me that I wasn’t worthy of your touch, and I’d never be the one to give you children.
“And you certainly lived up to that promise. In three years of marriage, you didn’t just refuse to touch me, you wouldn’t even look at me.”
Her piercing gaze locked on Dylan, the mockery in her eyes intensifying. “Tell me, were in my shoes, could you just pretend none of that ever happened?”

As Suzy had hoped, Dylan didn’t show up for the next few days.
She didn’t care anymore; her words were meant to get under his skin, to push him away.
She was sick of him hovering around her every few days.
Even her accusations about him tampering with the grave had been intentional. Dylan, no matter how infuriating, would never do something as despicable as disturbing her aunt’s remains.
The real culprit had to be tied to her parents‘ murder. Only someone that ruthless could stoop to such madness.
But what Suzy didn’t expect was that she’d misjudged the situation entirely.
An anonymous call came through a few days later.
“If you want your aunt’s remains returned intact, stop investigating the Warren family.” “Ha!” Suzy let out a cold laugh. “What’s the matter? Afraid of what I’ll uncover?”
“Cut the crap,” the distorted voice snapped. “If you don’t want your aunt to be left to rot, you’d better do as I say.”
‘And what if I refuse?” Suzy’s voice was steady, her resolve unyielding. Threats were the last thing that could ever intimidate her.
