CEO Broke Down and Cried After I Divorced Him novel Chapter 701

Suzy followed the trail relentlessly, the scent leading her out of the police station and into a narrow, dimly lit alleyway.

It was only when the scent began to fade that she stopped.

The smell had dissipated, but there was no sign of anyone.

Standing in the middle of the alley, surrounded by darkness and suffocating stillness, Suzy let out a cold laugh.

Her voice, calm and steady, cut through the silence. "What’s the matter? Afraid to show yourself?"

She was almost certain someone was nearby. The scent had been deliberately left to lure her here.

The quiet remained unbroken as if the world around her held its breath. Suzy spoke again, her tone laced with disdain.

Already burdened with the suspicion of murder, now she had the added weight of an "escape" on her record.

It was a perfect setup, and no matter how much she tried to explain, no one would believe her.

Very well. They wanted her gone, and they were willing to stop at nothing to make it happen.

…

The news of Suzy’s "escape" spread like wildfire the moment dawn broke.

Dylan, who had been monitoring the situation closely, saw the headlines. His eyes darkened with a chilling, murderous intent. "Whoever’s behind this won’t stop until Suzy is dead."

Standing nearby, Desmond frowned.

"Exactly. It’s clear they have a deep grudge against her. Their moves have been especially vicious lately.

“I asked Allen what we should do, and he said Suzy mentioned she had her own plan.
