The year Elliot studied under her, Zoe visited him multiple times. Suzy was no stranger to her.
She truly hadn’t expected that the person who had been hurting Elliot all along would turn out to be her!
Zoe was the person Elliot cared about the most, aside from his mother.
Elliot’s mother had passed away when he was young.
In those years without a mother’s love, it was Zoe who had been there for him. Though they weren’t mother and son by blood, their bond was closer than that.
Suzy couldn’t even begin to imagine how Elliot would handle the truth if he ever found out.
He wouldn’t be able to. Just like how she herself had once felt about Charlotte.
She had treated Charlotte as her everything, believing she was the one person in the world who cared about her the most.
But in the end, it had all been a lie.
Back then, she had felt as though her entire world had collapsed.
That kind of betrayal by someone so close felt like being cut to pieces.
“Zoe Cleary, do you even realize how much Elliot cares about you?”
Suzy, having experienced the same pain, was so furious she wanted to strangle Zoe on the spot.
“He treated you as his everything. He even told me that in the years after his mother passed, he never felt lonely because you were there for him.
“You were the one person in the world who treated him the best!”
“I know, I know…” Zoe’s tears fell like broken pearls, streaming uncontrollably.
“How could I not know how much he cares about me? I care about him just as much, but…”
“And yet you did so many things to hurt him, and now you’re claiming you care about him?”
Suzy found it laughable, the most ridiculous thing she’d ever heard.
“Zoe, I thought Charlotte had reached the peak of shamelessness, but compared to you, she doesn’t even come close. You’re on a whole new level!”
At least Charlotte had eventually admitted to everything.
Zoe, on the other hand, even now, was still pretending.
Zoe knew that no matter what she said now, Suzy wouldn’t believe her.
But she still had to try.
“He’s my sister’s child. When my sister passed away, she held my hand and entrusted him to me, asking me to treat him as my own and to take good care of him.
“At the beginning, I truly did. I loved him like my own son. Even after I got married, I brought him with me to live
together. I thought we’d be together forever, but…”
Tears streamed down Zoe’s face even harder.

“People always lose the things they cherish the most. Someone threatened me with my husband’s and son’s lives, forcing me to do things that hurt him.”
“So you abandoned him?” Suzy furrowed her brow deeply.
“Between your husband, your son, and him, you ultimately chose your husband and son!”
Zoe clutched her chest in agony.
“If my husband had been unkind to me, maybe I wouldn’t feel so tormented. But he’s always been wonderful! From the day we got married, he treated me like a princess.
“He never let me lift a finger for household chores, and when our son was born, he took care of him himself.
“Miss Frost, if it were you, what would you have done?”
As she spoke, Zoe pounded her chest forcefully.
“Just as you said, for my husband and son, I abandoned him! I followed the orders of that person I poisoned him, changed my identity, and stayed by his side, doing everything I was instructed to do!”
Suzy suddenly recalled something.
“No wonder, that time when you and Barret brought me to him, the way you looked at him was so conflicted.”
