Chapter 0329
Suzy never could have imagined that Ruby’s sister would turn out to be none other than Charlotte,
The more she read through the documents, the faster her heart raced.
An answer seemed to be forming in her mind, but she quickly dismissed it. “Impossible. This information must be flawed.”
To verify the validity of the documents, Suzy called Dylan.
Almost as if he’d anticipated her need for answers, he picked up after a single ring. “You’ve looked through it?” His deep, steady voice came through the line.
Suzy frowned. “Dylan, where did you get this information?”
“I can’t tell you the source,” he admitted after a pause, “but I can guarantee its authenticity. Honestly, I’ve suspected something strange from the start. It’s almost as if Ruby deliberately revealed her identity. If she’d truly wanted to remain hidden, she wouldn’t have been caught so easily.”
Suzy shared that sentiment. It was why she had orchestrated Ruby and Mark’s meeting- to verify whether Ruby’s claims were genuine. The reason for her call wasn’t a lack of trust in Dylan’s integrity but an inability to accept the results.
The possibility that the woman she had believed to be her biological aunt all these years was not related to her by blood was crushing.
After ending the call, Suzy sat motionless, staring at the stark black–and–white text on the A4 pages for what felt like an eternity. Each reread brought a fresh wave of pain.
Still, she clung to denial, convincing herself, “Dylan’s word isn’t absolute. Even if he’s not lying, it doesn’t mean this document is accurate. What if someone deliberately used him to get to me?”
Determined to uncover the truth, Suzy decided to return to a place she hadn’t set foot in for two decades–her family home.
Twenty years had passed since that fateful night. She had sworn never to return until she had avenged her family. Yet here she was, breaking that vow.
As she walked through the front gates, memories of the bloodshed surged back, overwhelming her senses. Each vivid image tore through her mind, leaving raw, unrelenting pain in its wake.
Step by step, the weight of the past bore down on her, ripping her heart apart with every step deeper into the place that had once been her sanctuary.

Chapter 0320
Especially when Suzy entered her parents‘ bedroom, the tears she had been holding back broke free. Standing in the dust–filled room, she was overwhelmed by memories of the joyful times she had spent with her parents. Like a child, she cried uncontrollably, her sobs echoing in the quiet space.
“Mom, Dad… I miss you so much…”
She didn’t know how long she cried before her emotions finally settled. Taking a deep breath, she approached the hidden compartment in the wardrobe.
She remembered seeing her father retrieve something from it orice when she was young, Curious, she had asked, “Why is there a hidden compartment here?”
