Chapter 0648
So, this was the truth she had been searching for all these days?
Suzy found it hard to accept.
“Where is he?” she asked, her gaze fixed on Zack. Her words came slowly, deliberately. “Take me to him.”
“He’s gone,” Zack replied. “As for where he went, he didn’t tell me. He’s the master, and I’m just a subordinate. If he doesn’t say I don’t ask. I really don’t know where he is now. Everything I’ve said is true–not a single word is a lie. If you don’t believe me, you can confront him when you find him.”
Feeling exhausted, Suzy gestured for Allen to take Zack away. She herself turned to go upstairs, intending to rest.
“Don’t think too much…” Dylan began cautiously, knowing she wouldn’t want to hear from him, but unable to keep quiet. He was worried about her. “Everything Zack said could be a lie. The truth isn’t confirmed yet. None of Charlotte’s men are trustworthy–this could just be an attempt to sow discord between you and your
father.”
Suzy paused and glanced back at Dylan. “Will you go somewhere with me?”
“What?” He was momentarily stunned.
“What, you don’t want to?”
“Of course I do!” he said quickly, recovering from his surprise. He hadn’t expected her to ask for his company, assuming she didn’t want to deal with him at all.
Suzy’s request had been impulsive. Her thoughts were a tangled mess, and she desperately needed clarity. Zack’s words felt carved into her mind, refusing to let her find peace. She knew better than anyone the effects of the Mind–Eater poison.
While it could cloud someone’s emotions, particularly in matters of love, it didn’t affect their other faculties. Looking back, her worry for her father had blinded her to his deception. After all, he was her father–someone she hadn’t seen for so many years. How could she have doubted him?
The place she wanted Dylan to accompany her to wasn’t anywhere random. It was her mother’s grave.
Placing the fruits and flowers she had brought in front of the gravestone, Suzy knelt

down. “Mom, I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to visit you. I’ve been searching for Dad
She paused for a moment before continuing “That’s right, Dad is still alive. And so is my older brother! He’s married now, and he and my sister–in–law are very happy together. As for Dad…”
Her voice faltered, and she struggled to go on. “I’ve recently found him, but he’s no longer the man he used to be. He knows I’m his daughter, yet he pretends not to recognize me. He even plotted to escape from me…‘
Suzy hadn’t intended to cry, but as she spoke, she couldn’t hold back. Tears streamed down her face. “Mom, it’s all my fault. If I hadn’t developed the Mind- Eater poison back then, Charlotte wouldn’t have succeeded. Dad wouldn’t have ended up like this. Everything that’s happened is because of me.”
“No, this isn’t your fault–it’s Charlotte’s!” Dylan interjected firmly, unwilling to let her shoulder all the blame. “Everything is her doing. You’re a victim in all of this. Don’t worry–I’ll help you find your father as soon as possible. Once we do, we’ll figure out how to cure him together.”
“You won’t have the chance for that!”
A sudden voice interrupted them. Suzy and Dylan turned sharply to see Timothy standing behind them, his expression dark. his expression dark.
“You killed Charlotte,” he snarled. “Now it’s time for you to pay with your lives!”
