Chapter 0297
The pill Suzy gave Dylan wasn’t poison–it was a laxative.
After all, following the detox, his body needed a thorough cleanse to aid his recovery.
While he had willingly poisoned himself, the truth about his supposed amnesia was now glaringly obvious.
She had to admit that Dylan’s acting skills were remarkable. He had deceived her so completely that she had resorted to multiple techniques, hypnosis included, to figure out whether he was faking. Yet, despite all her efforts, she couldn’t see through his charade.
Not only was the lead actor in this charade convincing, but the supporting cast was equally skilled, especially that girl, Ava.
Suzy didn’t need to ask to know Ava had been part of the act, playing a crucial role.
The innocent, naïve facade was flawless.
The more she thought about it, the more irritated she became with Dylan.
Before leaving, she gave him a hard kick. “You’d better be grateful for having such a good grandmother and sister. Otherwise, I would have taken your life.”
Leaving the Wright estate, Suzy didn’t head back to Hillside Villa or the Harlow residence. Instead, she went to see Allen.
It was the first time Suzy had ever sought him out, and in the middle of the night, no less. That alone spoke volumes about the situation’s seriousness.
Allen, alarmed, rushed to greet her. “Boss, what’s wrong?”
Suzy gave him a once–over, one hand resting thoughtfully on her chin. “You know, I just realized something–you’re quite handsome.”
“You only realize it now?” Allen looked at her incredulously. “I’ve been this good–looking for years, thank you very much.”
Was she seriously here in the middle of the night just to tell him that? Why did this feel like she was flirting with him?
Ignoring his bewildered expression, Suzy casually dropped a bombshell. “How about becoming my boyfriend.”
Allen nearly choked, staring at her as if lightning had struck him. “What did you just say?”
“What, you’re not interested?” Suzy raised an eyebrow. “Fine, I’ll go find someone else.” She turned on her heel as if to leave.

Allen quickly stepped in to block her path, reaching out to touch her forehead. “Boss, are you running a fever?”
Otherwise, why would she say something so outrageous–something she wouldn’t even joke about in her wildest dreams?
Suzy reveal
Swatting his hand away, her actual plan. “Pretend to be my boyfriend, like last time when we ran into Dylan at the Harlow estate.”
“Pretend?” The excitement bubbling in Allen’s chest deflated almost instantly.
Of course, there was no way this could be real. She was only asking him to fake it.
“Yes,” Suzy confirmed, then paused, a calculating glint in her eyes. “Actually, scratch that. From now on, you’re not just my boyfriend–you’re my fiancé.”
Allen choked. “Fiancé?”
Being her fake boyfriend was already shocking enough, but now it had escalated to fiancé?
It didn’t take much to guess her intention. She was planning to turn the tug–of–war between Dylan and Hawk into an absolute farcel
Meanwhile, the tension between Dylan and Hawk quickly escalated into an all–out battle, both overt and covert.
Determined to prove that Hawk was really Claude, Dylan didn’t hesitate to leverage the resources of the Yellowtail Squadron to investigate him.
Ordinarily, he would never involve the squadron in personal matters, given its ties to national security. But when it came to Suzy, he was willing to break his own rules.
Yes, the mysterious leader of the Yellowtail Squadron, whom Suzy had been investigating for so long, was none other than Dylan himself,
This was a closely guarded secret. It was so tightly held that not even Grace or Diana knew. When Victor found out, he stared at Dylan like he’d lost his mind. “Are you seriously saying Suzy means this much to you?”
Dylan cast him a sidelong glance. “One day, you’ll feel the same about Nadia.
Victor laughed outright, shaking his head. “Nadia? Please. The only way that would happen is if she were the last woman on Earth. Scratch that! Even then, I’d rather stay single than give her a second look.”
The saying that love blinds those caught in its grip couldn’t be more accurate.
For years, Victor had claimed to dislike Nadia. Yet, whenever she found herself in trouble,

he was always the first to drop everything and rush to her rescue, often appearing more anxious than anyone around him.
