Chapter 0006

When Dylan spun the woman around to face him, his expression darkened instantly, like a shadow passing over his features.

From behind, she had looked strikingly similar to Suzy, but her front was a different story. Her appearance was plain, a far cry from Suzy's striking beauty.

The fact that he'd even momentarily considered Suzy attractive only made Dylan's scowl deepen.

"Hey, handsome, your approach is pretty unique. I like it," the woman said with a playful smile, leaning toward him. "I live close by. How about we..."

"I've got the wrong person," Dylan cut her off.

As he stepped back, the woman nearly stumbled but wasn't discouraged. She moved closer again. "Don't be shy. We're both adults here. What's there to hold back?"

With a sharp glare, Dylan signaled to Desmond, who quickly stepped in to handle the situation.

Once the two of them had driven off, Suzy slipped into Allen's car, slowly peeling off the human-skin mask from her face.

She had thought their encounter was a coincidence, but it turned out Dylan had deliberately come looking for her.

But why? After all the commotion, what was he trying to achieve? She had already stepped aside. What more could he possibly want?

Allen seemed equally puzzled. His curiosity finally got the better of him, and he couldn't help but ask, “Boss, I just found out... Dylan wasn't looking for Red Falcon. He's been trying to find his missing wife..."

"Yeah, that's me," Suzy said calmly.

There was no point in hiding it anymore.

"... You're married?" Allen was visibly stunned.

"Was. I got married, then divorced."

"Was it because of Anne?" Allen's tone was laced with frustration.

The fact that Dylan was willing to spend two hundred million dollars on Anne was a clear sign of their deep connection.

Unable to hold back, Allen muttered a curse under his breath. "Like mother, like daughter. She's just as rotten as her mom."

Suzy immediately caught the significance of his words. "You and the Wheeler family..."

"I have nothing to do with the Wheelers," Allen said sharply, gripping the steering wheel.

It was a painful chapter of Allen's life, one he had never shared with Suzy. He had always planned to take his revenge quietly, without burdening her with his past.

After all, Suzy had her own scores to settle.
