Claude chuckled. “How about you follow through with your own advice before telling me?”
Suzy scrunched her nose but didn’t respond, waving him farewell as she turned to leave.
Watching her retreating figure, Claude’s previously clear eyes darkened, becoming unreadable.
The next day..
Thanks to Claude’s setup, Suzy set off for the Goodwin family estate, arms loaded with gifts.
After treating Martin, she hadn’t visited the estate for two months. She’d hoped to gather some useful information from Martin back then, but it had turned out to be a wasted effort.
Apparently, there were things Martin genuinely didn’t know, which meant she’d been targeting the wrong person from the beginning. Had she realized it sooner, she wouldn’t still be stuck with no progress after all this time.
In the sitting room, Suzy waited a long while, but Mark never appeared. Finally, the butler came over and said, “Miss Frost, I regret to inform you that Mr. Mark had an urgent matter and had to leave. He sends his apologies.”
Suzy clenched her fist slightly. “No problem, I’ll visit again another time.”
The butler gestured to the stack of gifts Suzy had brought. “Allow me to see you out, Miss Frost.”
Her gaze turned calculating, though her expression remained neutral. “May I use the restroom first?”
“Of course. I’ll have someone show you the way.”
“Thank you.
Sending someone to escort her even for a restroom break–Mark’s wariness of her was clear. She wondered if Dylan’s influence had anything to do with it.
But if they thought a simple maid could keep an eye on her, they were sorely underestimating her.
With a single silver needle, Suzy subdued the maid, quickly swapping into her uniform before stepping out of the restroom.
The Goodwin estate had an old–fashioned garden–style layout, with numerous courtyards
anyone unfamiliar with the place would easily get lost.
Relying on her memory from before, Suzy navigated with ease and found her way to

Martin’s room. She quietly administered a needle to the sleeping old man and whispered something hypnotic in his ear.
After quickly finishing her task, Suzy returned to the restroom, changed back into her clothes, and removed the silver needle from the mald’s neck. When the maid came to, Suzy acted as if she had just come out of the restroom, saying, “Sorry, I had a bit of an upset stomach. Thank you for waiting.”
The maid, suspecting nothing, led her back to the sitting room.
Ignoring the silent exchange between the mald and the butler, Suzy bid her farewells. ” Thank you for the hospitality. I’ll be off now.”
Between the sitting room and the Goodwin estate’s main gate lay a small garden. From a distance, Suzy noticed Martin, now restored to health after her treatment, walking in the garden with a cane. Just two months prior, he had been barely clinging to life, but now his complexion was rosy, and he looked vigorous.
Carefully concealing the glint in her eyes, Suzy moved closer, gradually reducing the distance between them. When she was just a few steps away, she suddenly let out a sneeze.
Martin, who had been doing his morning stretches, suddenly wobbled, his balance faltering as he was about to fall. Strangely, not a single attendant was close by to help him. The butler, following Suzy, quickly dropped the gift boxes and sprinted towards Martin, but he hadn’t expected someone to beat him to it.
Suzy dashed forward, reaching Martin just as he lost his balance, positioning herself to cushion his fall.
Martin was unharmed, but Suzy took the full impact, coughing up “blood” on the spot, and was promptly sent to the hospital.
