Dylan had his people shadow Suzy for several days, tracking her movements. Her routine was simple: from the Harlow residence to Harlow Corporation, a straightforward two- point circuit. The only exception was her visits to the Goodwin family.
Now that she was Martin’s honorary granddaughter, her coming and going from the Goodwin estate was entirely normal.
Dylan studied the report in silence, prompting Desmond to ask cautiously, “sir, should we continue the surveillance?”
Dylan glanced up. “What do you think?”
Desmond was speechless to receive another non–answer–one that only served to remind Desmond why he often gave up asking.
As he turned to leave, he nearly bumped into the secretary, who was just entering with an envelope.
“Mr. Hill, this is an invitation from the Goodwin family.”
Desmond returned to Dylan’s desk with it. “An invitation from the Goodwins.”
Dylan opened it, his expression instantly darkening.
Noticing his reaction, Desmond craned his neck for a quick look. His own eyes widened. ” The Goodwins are throwing a family recognition banquet… for Mrs. Wright!”
Who would have thought the Goodwins would show such importance to Suzy, their honorary granddaughter?
Dylan’s gaze deepened as he took in the words on the invitation.
The Goodwin family’s recognition banquet invitations reached nearly every notable in Ashbourne City, including the Wheeler family.
“Suzy is being recognized as Martin Goodwin’s honorary granddaughter, and they’re throwing her a banquet!” Anne’s face twisted with shock and disbelief as she read the invitation. “The Goodwin family–the politically powerful Goodwins! Suzy’s just an orphan with no background. She doesn’t deserve this!”
Helena frowned as well. “I never expected Suzy to climb her way into the Goodwin family.”
They’d thought that once Suzy was ousted from the Wright family, she’d have nothing left. But now, she’d aligned herself with Claude, and even more impressively, with the Goodwins.

Helena had to admit that Suzy had some skill.

Anne gritted her teeth in frustration. “She was already hard to deal with, and now, Goodwins backing her, getting rid of her has become even tougher.”

However, Helena had a different idea. “What do you think would happen if the Goodwins‘ honorary granddaughter were humiliated in public? Would they still be so eager to accept. her?”
“You mean…”
Helena leaned closer to Anne, whispering a plan in her ear. The two exchanged a glance, their eyes gleaming with the same malicious intent.
On the day of the banquet, Suzy set off for the Goodwin estate early, accompanied by Claude. Both were dressed to impress, a striking pair whose entrance drew the immediate attention of the crowd.
“Don’t they look perfect together?”
“They really do! If Mr. Claude weren’t in a wheelchair, they’d be even more of a match!”
“Oh, you don’t get it–his wheelchair makes them even more compatible! These days, men aren’t trustworthy, but if he can’t walk, he can’t run around, can he?”
Diana overheard the conversation, and her expression soured.
She hadn’t known the Goodwins were throwing a recognition banquet for Suzy until her friend, Jenny Dixon, mentioned it, prompting her to tag along.
Now, hearing the crowd’s whispers, Diana felt an intense urge to stop people from playing matchmaker.
As she fumed, Jenny chimed in, “To be fair, they do make a good pair.”
Diana exploded. “How so? They’re not suited for each other at all!”
Jenny simply turned her face toward the scene. “Take a look for yourself.”
Diana reluctantly looked over to where Suzy was guiding Claude in his wheelchair, heading in their direction. She couldn’t deny it–the two of them did look well–matched.
Especially considering how Suzy seemed to glow with warmth whenever she looked at Claude.
