With the evidence laid bare, there was no point in wasting more time arguing with Helena.
Suzy immediately called Evangeline and asked her to send someone over.
"I knew it," Helena said with a bitter laugh, her eyes filled with disdain.
"I was right all along. I said it from the start—there was no way you'd actually come here because Evangeline kicked you out.
“You and Dylan came here with a plan, working with her from the start. You were just waiting to frame me with some fabricated crime.
"Suzy, do you know something? After these past few days, I actually started to see you as a friend.
"I've been lonely my whole life. Growing up in a royal family does that to you.
“People either avoid you or approach you with an agenda. I really thought you were different. But I was wrong. You're just like the rest of them."
Suzy's cold laugh cut through the room.
"You’re still clinging to that story? There's a saying for moments like this: 'You made your bed, now lie in it.' Your mistake was thinking you were smarter than everyone else."
By now, she trusted nothing that came out of Helena’s mouth.
The masked intruder had to be her accomplice, and this act of wounded innocence was just another desperate attempt to mislead her.
Helena seemed to realize she’d lost whatever leverage she had left.
Her expression hardened, and she slumped onto the sofa with a careless shrug. "Think what you want. I'm done explaining."
Suzy’s lips curled into a cold smile. "Still playing the role to the very end, huh? Fine. Go ahead, put on your performance. I’d love to see how long you can keep it up."
Did Helena really think sitting there with that resigned, indifferent look would convince anyone she was innocent?
Evangeline arrived shortly afterward, her face filled with concern the moment she spotted Suzy.
"Are you all right?" she asked, stepping closer.
"I'm fine," Suzy replied, then gestured toward Helena.
"She’s all yours, sis. I’m going to check on Dylan."
Ever since that intruder showed up, Dylan had been alone in the bedroom.
