This revelation was undoubtedly a significant lead for Suzy.
“How did you uncover this?” she asked, narrowing her eyes.
She had thoroughly investigated Wendy’s background before but had never found this connection. It was clear someone had intentionally buried this information.
If it had been deliberately hidden, then how had Dylan managed to uncover it? Could it mean his methods surpassed her own?
Suzy dismissed the thought immediately. “If he were really that skilled, he wouldn’t be in his current position.”
“It’s true that someone went to great lengths to conceal Wendy’s past,” Dylan explained, a slight smirk on his face. “But no matter how much you try to erase something, records on national databases are impossible to hide.”
“Well, aren’t you impressive,” Suzy replied sarcastically, giving him a mock thumbs -up. “Having official access really makes all the difference.”
It wasn’t that Dylan was more capable–he just had the advantage of government
resources.
“So, Wendy and Charlotte are the ones who were the closest,” Allen interjected. ” Which means we’ve been focusing on the wrong person all along. Wendy is the real boss.”
Dylan elaborated, “When Wendy was a child, there was a period when she went missing. During that time, she was temporarily taken in by the orphanage where, Charlotte lived. She stayed there for two years, and according to the records, they were very close–closer than Wendy was even to her own sister, Ruby.”
He continued, “Apparently, Wendy was frequently bullied during her time at the orphanage, and Charlotte helped her out on multiple occasions.”
Suzy rubbed her chin thoughtfully. “So, to repay her debt, Wendy would sacrifice everything even her husband and son–for Charlotte.”
Dylan nodded. “That seems to be the case.
“As for why she married your family’s butler, it was probably for Charlotte’s sake. By doing so, she could openly live at the Frost estate and be close to her.”
Suzy considered this for a moment. “I remember their relationship being very close.

My mother even used to say they were like sisters.”
This new information cast everything in a different light, giving Suzy a clearer picture of Wendy’s true motivations and her connection to Charlotte.
Suzy couldn’t help but feel a pang of regret. I should have realized this sooner.”
Dylan offered a comforting smile. “This isn’t your fault. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Honestly, if it were me, I wouldn’t have figured it out either. The only reason I even looked into Wendy was because you noticed something was off. Without your insight, I wouldn’t have uncovered any of this.”

Allen, standing nearby, stifled a laugh at Dylan’s overly complimentary tone. In this world, probably no one else could make the usually stoic Dylan Wright act like such a sycophant.
The head of Wright Corporation and the leader of the Yellowtail Squadron, reduced to this overly eager, almost comical demeanor in front of their boss–it was a sight no one would believe if they hadn’t witnessed it themselves. The contrast was downright absurd.
Still, Allen begrudgingly admitted Dylan had a point. “Charlotte’s inner circle is filled with people who are ridiculously loyal and hard to predict. Sometimes, it feels impossible to guard against them.”
There was no denying Charlotte’s ability to command such loyalty. Even after all this time, her followers were still willing to go to great lengths for her.
Suzy glanced at Dylan. “Regardless, thanks for your help this time.”
“There’s no need to thank me,” Dylan replied earnestly. “I’m just glad I could help…
Before he could finish, the door burst open, and Elliot strode in confidently.” Mentor, I’ve already captured Wendy for you!”
Suzy blinked.
Allen groaned. “Elliot, you don’t even know what’s going on–how did you end up bringing her in?”
