Chapter 0364
She had never hated someone so much that she wanted to skin Charlotte alive and rip her apart.
Yanking her off the ground, Suzy dragged her toward the entrance of the hidden chamber.
Charlotte thought Suzy would demand to know where the switch was. But to her surprise, Suzy didn’t even ask.
Instead, she opened the door effortlessly.
“How did you know?” Charlotte asked, stunned.
Suzy cast her a cold glance. “I’m not as stupid as you think.”
For so many years, the only reason she had been deceived was because she believed Charlotte was her only family in the world. She hadn’t known the truth that Charlotte wasn’t even a real member of the Frost family.
Her reputation as the top assassin wasn’t for nothing. She had entered and escaped countless deadly places before. A mere hidden chamber was nothing to her.
What’s more, Suzy had already taken note of the chamber’s mechanisms when they first entered.
Outside, Riley and Allen were still frantically searching for the switch. Riley, in particular, had pressed herself against the wall, running her hands along every crevice. When the door suddenly opened, she nearly toppled forward.
Allen quickly reached out and grabbed her, pulling her back.
But in the process, Riley lost her balance and ended up falling onto him, pinning him to the ground.
The unexpected position–Riley on top of Allen–instantly shifted the atmosphere, becoming charged with an awkward, unspoken tension.
For reasons he couldn’t explain, Allen’s heartbeat suddenly became erratic.
This was a feeling he had never experienced before.
To him, Riley had always been like a buddy–someone he treated no differently than a friend. The idea of his heart racing around her had seemed impossible.
Yet here it was, happening now.
“Hah! The two of you really are loyal to Suzy,” Charlotte’s mocking voice cut through the moment like a blade. “She’s inside, her life hanging by a thread, and the two of you are out here flirting…”

Her derisive tone snapped them both back to reality, shattering the fleeting intimacy.
Riley quickly scrambled off Allen, flustered, and rushed to explain herself to Suzy. “Boss, it’s not what it looks like. I just-”
“No need to explain,” Suzy interrupted, her tone cold and decisive. “Go to the streets and find some beggars. The more, the better.”
“Beggars?” Riley was momentarily stunned. “What do you need beggars for?”
Suzy cast a sharp glance at Charlotte, then shoved her toward Allen. “Lock her those beggars. Whoever fucks her the most gets the biggest reward.”

Both Riley and Allen were speechless.
Riley’s lips curled into a sinister smirk. “Understood. I’ll make sure we find plenty of strong, able–bodied men. She’ll be having the time of her life in no time.”
Once Charlotte was dragged away, Suzy turned to head back toward the basement.
Riley, confused, called after her. “Boss, did you forget something? Just tell me what it is, and I’ll get it for you.”
Suzy’s eyes reddened instantly. “No, I’ll go myself.”
Worried there might still be hidden dangers–especially since the mysterious man hadn’t been found yet–Riley followed her.
When Riley saw Suzy kneel down and pick up the disfigured woman from the floor, she was baffled. “Boss, are we taking her too?”
Suzy nodded heavily. “Yes.”
Though she didn’t understand, Riley reached out. “Here, let me carry her.”
Suzy immediately backed away, clutching the woman protectively, as if holding something incredibly precious.
Noticing the unusual expression on Suzy’s face, Riley asked nervously, “Boss, what’s wrong?”
Tears spilled from Suzy’s eyes, but her words weren’t directed at Riley. Instead, she spoke softly to the woman in her arms. “Mom, I’m taking you home.
Just as Suzy turned to leave, the ground suddenly began to shake violently, like an earthquake rumbling beneath them.
