Chapter 0035
Suzy hadn’t planned on getting physical, but glan was pushing her too far.
Since he was pushing her, there was no point in holding back.
She snapped her right leg up, aiming a sharp kiek at his crotch…
Dylan saw it coming and swiftly caught her right foot. “Suzy, whether you’re playing hard to get or trying to provoke me, I suggest you stop before you regret it.”
“Heh…”
Suzy could only scoff. “Mr. Wright, confidence is one thing, but overconfidence? That’s something else. You’re not cold hard cash–nobody’s going to like you forever.”
Dylan’s gaze fixed on hers, unblinking for a long moment before he finally spoke. “Name your price. How much will it take for you to have my child?”
Suzy was speechless.
Grabbing the collar of his pajama shirt, she pulled him closer. “You’re this desperate to have me give you a child? Is it really just because Grandma wants it?”
His gaze darkened slightly. “What else?”
“Maybe you should ask yourself that question.” Suzy’s lips curved into a knowing smile ast she leaned in.

Before he could respond, Suzy continued, “Knowing you, you wouldn’t break your own rules, not even for Grandma. And your biggest rule has always been staying loyal to Anne.”
Staying loyal to Anne…
His eyes flickered, though his expression remained stoic. “Grandma raised me, and I’ll do anything for her. I can even change myself.”
“How do
“And what about Anne?” Suzy’s eyes bore into his, searching his dark gaze. your plan to explain this to her?”
“It’s none of your business.”
Suzy was speechless.
Those words instantly reminded Suzy of when she was lying on the operating table, waiting for him to sign the consent forms to save her life.

His response back then?
“It’s none of my business.”
Her once–cold gaze grew even more frigid. “You’re right. It’s not my business. That’s between you and her. I’m just an outsider here.”
With a sudden surge of strength, Suzy yanked her right foot from Dylan’s grip and swiftly aimed a kick at his head.
Her moves were fast, sharp, and precise–Dylan barely dodged in time.
Taking advantage of his distraction, Suzy pulled her left leg free as well.
Suzy jumped off the bed, her face completely void of emotion as she stared at Dylan. “If you want kids, go to Anne. She’ll gladly give you one–hell, she’d give you as many as you want. As for me…”
A mocking smile tugged at her lips. “The father of my child could be anyone. But it will never be you.”
With that, she turned and walked out.
From the moment Suzy decided on the divorce, she never once considered looking back- and she wouldn’t allow herself to.
Making the same mistake once was enough.
Riley was right: the world was full of men. There was no shortage.
As for Dylan, the man who’d already been chewed up and spit out by Anne?
She couldn’t care less about him now.
“The father of my child could be anyone. But it will never be you…”
Her words played on a loop in Dylan’s mind, echoing over and over.
Pulling out his phone, he dialed a number he hadn’t called in ages. “Where are you?”
“Where else? Out at Heavenly Charm. Just got some new girls in. You coming?
…I need you to look into someone for me.”
“Whoa, what makes this person so special that you suddenly remember I exist after all these years?”
Dylan’s eyes flashed with impatience. “Just get it done. Less talk, more action.”
“Fine, fine, I won’t ask. Who’s the target?”
“Allen.”

“…That sounds like a guy’s name. Don’t tell me he’s a rival? What’s up, did your precious Anne switch sides?”
Rival, switched sides…
“Iv
The words grated on Dylan’s nerves. “I want you to find out everything about him by tomorrow morning.”
“Tomorrow might be tough. I’ve got plans toni-”
Dylan hung up before the man could finish.
After the call, he stepped out onto the balcony and lit a cigarette.
He didn’t smoke auch, but lately, he had been lighting up more often. And now that he thought about it, it had started right after Suzy disappeared.
It wasn’t just that–other things had changed, too…
Meanwhile, Suzy headed downstairs and made her way to the back garden.
