Chapter 0207
Not only was Claude alive, but he stood before Dylan on perfectly functioning legs, holding Suzy close in a way that spoke of deep familiarity.
So, he wasn’t dead after all.
If this man wasn’t truly Claude, Suzy would never let him touch her so casually. It could only mean one thing: the whole thing had been an elaborate ruse. They’d played him from the beginning.
The thought brought not only a surge of anger but a deep sense of hurt. For Suzy to go so far as to conspire with Claude… it meant Claude held an irreplaceable place in her heart.
Dylan’s expression, a mixture of anger and sadness, didn’t go unnoticed by Suzy and Hawk. Suzy didn’t acknowledge him, not even sparing a glance in his direction. Pushing Hawk aside, she picked up a file and headed toward the conference room. There was an important meeting to attend, and Hawk had already wasted enough of her time.
As she reached the door, she paused just long enough to look at Dylan, her face expressionless.
“Excuse me,” she said simply, expecting him to move.

Suzy, so he made sure Dylan would catch this scene.
Suzy was left speechless.
Who gave him the right to declare that?
Dylan fell silent.
He studied the man in front of him more closely. The resemblance to Claude was uncanny, yet upon closer inspection, there were subtle differences. This man was bold and arrogant -the complete opposite of Claude’s composed, gentlemanly demeanor.
So, had Suzy picked this man because she couldn’t let go of Claude?
The thought only twisted the knife deeper.
“Is what he’s saying true?” Dylan asked, looking at Suzy, his voice tight.
