No wonder the investigation had led nowhere she hadn’t fully grasped just how conniving Anne really was. Suzy had thought Anne was just a little manipulative, but it turned out she was both cunning and low enough to go to any lengths.
“Anne, we could’ve stayed out of each other’s way, but you had to push me. So don’t blame me for what comes next.
“Harlow family?”
Upon hearing that Dylan had rushed to the Harlow estate to confront Suzy, Anne was perplexed. “What’s she doing there?”
“Word is she’s now the personal caretaker for Claude Harlow.”
“His personal caretaker?” Anne laughed. “So, after leaving Dylan, she’s setting her sights on Claude now? First Dylan, and now Claude–her appetite really knows no bounds!”
“And yours isn’t exactly small, either…”
“Get lost!” She swatted away the man’s wandering hand. “Keep an eye on things. I want updates the moment anything happens.”
“Don’t worry, this time we’ll make sure Suzy stays down for good.
“I’ll be waiting!”
No sooner had she finished speaking than the door burst open, kicked in from the outside.
Startled, she pushed the man off her, grabbing the sheet to cover herself as she looked toward the intruder. “Who are you?”
The man standing in the doorway wore a silver mask, sending a wave of panic through her.
“Who sent you?”
Underneath the mask, Allen’s piercing gaze held nothing but mockery. “Are

Allen’s laugh echoed louder. “The woman Dylan Wright loves most?”
With a smirk, Allen pulled out his phone and snapped a series of shots of Anne and the

“You…”
“Save it, I don’t have time to waste on your nonsense.
If he could, Allen would’ve sent Anne straight to hell on the spot.
She was just as vile as her mother.

“Let me out! Let me out of here!”
In the dim, cold basement, Anne’s voice was hoarse from screaming, yet no one came. She hadn’t eaten in over a day and hadn’t even had a sip of water. Exhausted, starving, and parched, she felt on the brink of collapse.
Who was the man who’d brought her here?

But the rats seemed ravenous, unfazed by her attempts to shoo them away. They swarmed around her, and one particularly bold rat began climbing up her leg.
Anne nearly fainted on the spot. “Help! Somebody, please, help me!”
The more she screamed, the more the rat seemed to enjoy it, scurrying faster up her body. As it reached her collar, it paused, sniffing around, even poking its head inside her neckline.
Terrified it might go further, Anne froze, too scared to move. But the very thing she dreaded most happened–the rat slipped inside her shirt.
