Allen scoffed. “Did I say anything wrong? You two were a married couple, even if you’re divorced now. Divorce doesn’t erase the fact that you were once husband and wife
He turned to Dylan, raising an eyebrow. “What do you think Mr. Wright? Am I wrong?”
Dylan, who had grown increasingly fond of Allen’s meddling lately, smirked faintly, “You’re absolutely right.” Allen tilted his chin toward Suzy. “See? Even Mr. Wright agrees. So maybe you should just-
་་
Before he could finish, Suzy aimed a swift kick in his direction.
“You’re getting more annoying by the minute! Why don’t you go home and take care of your pregnant wife instead of hanging around here spouting nonsense!”
Allen dodged quickly, ducking behind Dylan’s wheelchair.
Unfortunately, Suzy couldn’t stop her momentum in time, and her foot landed squarely on Dylan’s nose.
The three of them froze in utter disbelief, none more so than Suzy.
She spun toward Allen, glaring daggers. “This is all your fault!”
Allen threw his hands up dramatically.
“Hey, I just moved out of the way! How was I supposed to know it’d end like this? Seriously, Boss, can’t you just argue without getting physical? Now look what happened!”
He stepped closer, feigning concern as he glanced at Dylan’s face.
“Oh man, it’s bleeding. That must hurt like hell! Boss, why are you just standing there? Help your ex–husband stop the bleeding already!”
Suzy’s eye twitched. She really wanted to hit him.
This guy was the worst. Absolutely the worst.
Suppressing the fury bubbling inside, Suzy grabbed a tissue and started tending to Dylan’s bleeding nose.
Her kick had been a little too strong–his nose wasn’t just bleeding, but swelling up fast.
As if that wasn’t enough, Allen kept fanning the flames.
“Look at this mess! Poor guy’s face is totally ruined. And he’s not even married yet! If this leaves a scar, Boss, you’re going to have to take responsibility!”
Suzy clenched her teeth. She was going to kill him. Right after she finished dealing with this.
Allen shot a meaningful look at Dylan, who caught the hint Dylan’s deep black eyes glimmered faintly as he played along.
“It’s fine. It just hurts a bit. But my nose isn’t the only thing–I’ve got a headache too. Do you think it might be nerve damage?”
Allen, ever the dramatist, gasped and jumped in. “Nerve damage? Of course, it is! This could be serious–what if it leaves you with a crooked mouth or drooping eyes?”
Suzy groaned, already annoyed. “Enough. Get out.”

Allen flinched at her sharp tone. “I’m just being realistic…
Suzy pointed at him. “One, two-
Not daring to push his luck, Allen quickly cut her off. “Okay okay! I’ll check what’s in the decrypted files!”
As soon as Allen scanned the contents of thevered file, his brows furrowed deeply. “This… this can’t be. Could
this person really be Claude?”
Hearing that, Suzy’s attention snapped toward him. She wanted to see for herself, but she couldn’t just leave Dylan without addressing the situation first.
“The bleeding has stopped,” she said to Dylan.
“I’ve checked you over, and it’s not as serious as Allen makes it sound. But you should rest for a bit, just in case. If you still feel unwell later, I’ll take another look at you.”
Dylan’s gaze flickered slightly, but he nodded. “Alright.”
Suzy turned to Allen. “Find him a room.”
Allen pulled his attention away from the screen and walked toward Dylan. “Sure thing.”
As he reached Suzy and Dylan, he couldn’t help himself.
“Boss, I’ve gone through the files, and the more I read, the more it seems like it’s describing Claude. Could he really still be alive?”
Suzy’s eyes darkened. “Alive or dead, we need to find him to be sure.
