“You won’t forgive me?”
“No. Forgiveness isn’t even an option. From this moment forward, we’re nothing to each other–no ties, no connection, nothing.”
Suzy wanted to hate him, but… the truth was undeniable.
He had protected her, even if it had been from the shadows.
Revealing Claude’s true identity today wasn’t about revenge or taking his life to appease the spirits of her lost loved ones. It was about closure–ending it all where it had started.
“It’s impossible!” Claude’s voice broke as he struggled to accept her words. “Suzy, yes, I’ve made mistakes, but you should know why I did all this! You even said it yourself—if it weren’t for me, you would’ve died that night!
“For years, I’ve done so much for you. You can’t just erase all of it because of one lie!”
Claude’s dream was slipping through his fingers, and he couldn’t let it happen. Not after coming so close.
“You have no idea how much I love you!” His voice grew desperate as he stepped closer, his gaze piercing. “For you, I gave up everything. I spent years pretending to be crippled, sitting in a wheelchair every single day! And you?
“Even after all that, you fell for Dylan Wright! You were willing to put your hatred aside for him, yet for me… For me, you never once felt even a glimmer of romantic affection! You called me your brother!
“I don’t want to be your brother, Suzy! I don’t need a sister, and I certainly don’t want one. The only thing I’ve ever wanted is for you to be my woman!”
His voice cracked as he clutched at his chest, his face a mixture of anguish and fury. “I’ve endured so much just to stay near you. I even faked my death to start over, to approach you as someone new. But no matter what I did, you still wouldn’t accept me!”
Suzy’s expression was icy, her voice cutting through his desperation. “It doesn’t matter. It will never happen.”
“Suzy!” Claude’s patience snapped, his tone turning dark and menacing. “If you won’t. accept me willingly, then so be it. If I can’t have your love, I’ll settle for your hate. Either way, I’ll have you, one way or another!”
He took a threatening step forward and swung a fist at her.
Suzy, prepared for his reaction, swiftly dodged and stepped back, her face void of emotion. as she spoke. “Claude, don’t destroy what little remains of the bond we once shared.”

She spared his life because, despite everything he had protected her. But if he couldn’t let go of his obsession… she wouldn’t hesitate to show him no mercy.
Allen and Riley were about to intervene, but Suzy stopped them. “I’ll handle this myself!”
The two quickly stepped back, leaving the battlefield to Suzy.
What they didn’t expect was that Avalon suddenly leaped out from the corner, launching a sneak attack on Suzy.
“Avalon, you’re actually a lapdog for Claude?”
Riley was furious, and she, along with Allen, fought Avalon together.
After Avalon’s ambush, Suzy’s strength drained from her body, leaving her helpless as Claude took control. He carried her directly into the main villa and headed for her original
room.
After laying her on the bed, Claude leaned over her.
“Claude, if you dare touch me, I won’t ever let you go!”
“You’ve pushed me to this!” At this moment, Claude had completely lost his reason, with only one thought in his mind–to fully possess Suzy!
