Chapter 0257
Suzy managed to save Charlotte’s life, but her health was left permanently compromised.
Watching her aunt confined to bed day after day, unable to even stand, Suzy’s heart ached as if torn apart.
Claude, Diana, and now her beloved aunt…
It seemed that anyone connected to her was doomed to suffer.
The memory of Dylan’s cruel words replayed in her mind, her gaze hardening with a steely determination. “Dylan Wright, I’ll make you pay for every drop of blood you’ve spilled.‘
At Bayview Heights.
Dylan had just finished his shower and was heading to Suzy’s room, as he had done every night recently.
Even though the traces of her presence there had long since faded, being in her space was the only thing that gave him a semblance of comfort. Without it, the weight of his longing for her would make sleep impossible.
As he climbed into bed, his phone buzzed. It was Desmond.
“Sir, we have a problem. Someone is launching a targeted attack on the company’s internal network. It’s a full–scale assault, and within moments, the entire system has gone down.”
Dylan’s eyes narrowed.
Ending the call, he headed straight to his study
Sitting at his desk, he powered up his computer and accessed the network remotely. Just as Desmond had said, the attack was relentless, calculated, and aimed to destroy everything.
Dylan’s expression turned icy. There was no way he’d allow the Wright Corporation to suffer such damage. He began tracking the source of the attack and prepared for a grueling battle.
What he didn’t expect was how quickly he would find his target,
Moments later, his screen flickered, and Suzy’s face appeared. Her eyes burned with fury.
“Dylan Wright, this is just the beginning,” she said coldly. “The price you’ll pay is far greater than this.”
Dylan froze in disbelief.
Of all the possibilities, he hadn’t imagined that Suzy would be the one behind the attack.

She was a top–tier hacker? 1
A miracle doctor and a hacker–what other talents had she been hiding from him?
Her sudden assault had to be because of what he’d said at the press conference.
But the thought that nagged at him most was…
Was she angry because, deep down, she still cared about him?
As Dylan entertained the possibility that Suzy’s anger stemmed from lingering feelings for him, a spark of excitement reignited in his chest, like embers flaring back to life.
If that were the case, would pushing her further make her feelings even more apparent?
Driven by this thought, he instructed Desmond to leak more headlines about him and Anne to dominate the top spots across all major platforms.
What Dylan didn’t realize was that Anne had hired someone to impersonate him and attack Charlotte, an act that had only deepened Suzy’s hatred. Oblivious to this, he clung to the hope that Suzy might rekindle their past feelings.
Little did he know, his actions were leading him straight into disaster.
Suzy scrolled through her phone, seeing countless articles and posts celebrating Dylan and Anne’s supposed romance. The nauseating headlines only fueled the fire in her heart as she turned her gaze to Charlotte, lying frail and weak in the bed beside her.
Her hatred for Dylan burned hotter with every passing moment.
Seated at the bedside, gently wiping Charlotte’s face, Suzy spoke softly, “Don’t worry, Aunt. I’ll make sure you get justice.”
Charlotte swallowed with difficulty, her voice barely audible as she replied, “Dylan is blatantly bullying you, Suzy. Don’t let him get away with it. Make him pay.”
Suzy studied her aunt’s face, her expression unreadable.
Then, with a firm nod, she replied, “I will.”
Charlotte’s gaze sharpened with a rare intensity. “Do it quickly. I’ve never wanted someone dead so badly in my life. Act fast–I might not be here to see it if you don’t.”
“Don’t worry,” Suzy assured her, her tone as cold as steel. “In less than three days, the Wright Corporation will vanish from Ashbourne City.”
True to her word, Suzy delivered. In just two days, the Wright Corporation’s stock

plummeted to historic lows, throwing the company into chaos. Suzy made her position unmistakably clear, declaring in public that she and Dylan were now sworn enemies.
This outcome was exactly what Anne had hoped for.
“Mr. Dylan…” Anne said, her smile brimming with delight as she observed his troubled expression. “It’s obvious now that Suzy doesn’t have any feelings for you anymore. If she did, she wouldn’t go to such lengths to destroy you.”
She paused for effect, savoring the moment. “But I must admit, I didn’t expect her to have so much power. To think she could bring a century–old empire like the Wright Corporation to the brink of bankruptcy in just a few days. She’s more capable than I ever imagined.”
