Chapter 0417 Chapter 0417 "You'd rather die than be with me?" No words could have hurt Claude more than Suzy's.
Everything he had done-all the sacrifices, the lies, the risks-had been for one reason: to be with her. He had even gone as far as assuming Dylan's identity, yet in the end, she had seen through him so effortlessly.
And now, not only had she exposed him, but her rejection was as cold as a blade.
"Claude, no matter whose identity you take on, the soul inside you will never change. And my feelings for you..." Suzy looked at him with unwavering seriousness.

He had believed that by becoming Dylan, he might finally win her love. Even if it wasn't truly directed at him, even if it was for Dylan's face and name, as long as he could be by her side, he would accept it.
For her, he had humbled himself to the point of nothingness. But all she gave him in return was cruelty and rejection.
The more Claude thought about it, the more bitterness and anger consumed him. The love case, then let's die together.

Suzy pressed the knife closer to her neck, and blood immediately began to bead and trickle from the shallow wound. "This life you saved-it's yours. Today, I'll give it back to you!" Seeing Suzy's determination, Claude's face twisted with rage. "You're willing to die for Dylan? You're willing to takedown with you for him?" He could see through her plan. Suzy wasn't doing this for Dylan alone-she was trying to force him to reveal Dylan's whereabouts.
He knew her too well. After all these years, no one understood her better than he did. She knew he couldn't bear to see her die, and she was using that against him.
"It's not about Dylan," Suzy said, softening her tone, her voice calm but firm. "I just don't want you to keep going down this path." Her words cut deeper than any knife.

"He's dead!" Claude's voice rose in a crazed frenzy, his entire demeanor unraveling "How many times do I have to tell you? Dylan is dead! Stop clinging to that fantasy!" Suzy had already noticed that something was deeply wrong with Claude's mental state.
The things he had done-things nosane person would even consider-spoke volumes about his deteriorating mind. His obsession and actions went far beyond reason, hinting at a broken psyche.
She had tried every approach, but he still refused to reveal Dylan's om whereabouts For the first time, Suzy felt truly at a loss, unsure what else she could do. Was there really no other option? "Claude," Suzy said, her voice steady but resolute, "if you insist on pushing me, then I'll grant you your wish." Without hesitation, she raised the knife and drove it toward her heart.
There was no way Claude could stand by and watch her die in front of him. Not Suzy. Not the woman he had sacrificed everything for.
