NovelFinishChapter 0416 Chapter 0416 "Think whatever you want!" Suzy's patience had worn thin. "Claude, I'll give you three days to reconsider. You'd better tellwhat I want to know, or else" "There's no need to wait three days," Claude interrupted, his tone cutting. "I've already told you everything. Stop clinging to false hope, Every word I've said is true." His voice lowered, cold and calculated. "As for Dylan's body, like I told you before, it was fed to the fish. A massive school of them. I even added a little something to his within five minutes, they picked him clean." corpse- Suzy clenched her fists tightly but said nothing. Turning on her heel, she left the apothecary, leaving Claude behind.
What Suzy didn't know was how familiar Claude was with this place. After all, it was here, in this very apothecary, that he had killed her mentor with his own hands.
The reason? It had happened on a day much like this one. Her mentor had unexpectedly run into Claude outside. Fearing the old man would say something he shouldn't to Suzy, Claude had followed him back in secret.
Here, in the apothecary, the confrontation unfolded. Her mentor had demanded, "Suzy trusts you completely. Why would you betray that trust and deceive her?" Claude had explained his reasons, but the old man's response had been firm. "No matter the reason, you have no right to deceive her. You know better than anyone how much she values you.

"I know," Claude had replied, dropping to his knees before the old man. "That's why I'm begging you-please letmarry her. Helpmake this right." "Someone like you wants to marry her?" The old man's voice was sharp, his principles unshakable. "I don't need Suzy's partner to be powerful or extraordinary. I only need them to be loyal.
"The first rule is never to deceive her, no matter the reason. And you've already broken the most important one." Her mentor had been fiercely protective of Suzy, cherishing her as though she were his own flesh and blood. It wasn't just care-it was love, deeply ingrained and unwavering.
He had never married in his lifetime, and Suzy was the child he had chosen at first glance.
1/2 Chapter 0416 From the moment she joined the organization, he felt an undeniable connection to her. Perhaps it was fate.
Because of that, his expectations for Suzy were higher than for anyone else.
And Suzy never let him down.
She excelled in everything, always surpassing expectations, which only deepened his pride in her.
It was precisely why he couldn't tolerate Claude's deception-not even a shred of it.
When the old man refused to budge, Claude's patience snapped. "You old fool! Who do you think you are? You can't stopfrom marrying Suzy." "What are you planning to do?" "What else? Send you straight to hell! If you'd been smarter, I might've let you live. But now..." Right there in the apothecary, Claude used the very poison the old man had created to end his life.

Lost in the memory, Claude's thoughts spiraled uncontrollably, his mind blurring the lines between past and present. Without realizing it, he began speaking the truth. And Suzy heard every word.
"So it was you," she said, her voice ice-cold. "You're the one who killed my mentor.
"And what if I did?" Claude no longer cared about hiding anything. “No matter who it is, if they stand in my way, I'll kill them."
Suzy stared at him, her heart twisting with anger and disbelief. "Clauden have you completely lost your mind? Are you that desperate to be with me?" "Yes!" Claude's voice was resolute, unwavering.
In an instant, Suzy pulled a knife and held it to her neck, her eyes blazing with determination. "Too bad. Even if it means dying, I'll never be with you!" mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
