"Just do as | say. Why so many questions?" Suzy said firmly.
Allen smirked. "There you go again, keeping things mysterious. Just like last time- this means you're planning to
act on your own again, doesn't it?
"We're a team, Suzy. You can't keep shutting us out. Yes, this is about your father, and technically it's a personal
matter, but put yourself in our shoes. If it were one of our loved ones missing, would you just stand by and do
nothing?"
"...I said one thing, and you've givena whole speech." Suzy rolled her eyes. "I'm not being secretive-l just
don't know yet."
She smirked. “I noticed something off about her earlier, so | asked you to keep an eye on her. That's all. As for
what it'll lead to, | know just as much as you do."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAllen crossed his arms, still skeptical. "Fine, but | was half expecting you to sneak off again."
"You've got snerve," Suzy shot back with a chuckle.
Allen sighed tically. "You don't know how much Riley fretted the last tyou went solo. It was nonstop
with her-every single day. 'What if something's happened to Suzy? Is she hurt? Could someone be framing her?
What if she's in danger and has no one to help her?’
"She's like a broken record. My ears were about to fall off. And now that she's pregnant, all this stress isn't good
for her or the baby. For the sake of my son's health, you're absolutely not allowed to act on your own this time!"
"Your son?" Suzy raised a brow and smirked, giving him a playful eye-roll. "And here | thought you actually cared
about me. Turns out it's all about your wife and kid!
"And seriously, Allen, you've changed so much. | used to be your number one. Now I'm so far down the list?"
Despite her teasing, Suzy felt a warm satisfaction seeing Allen's transformation. It meant he'd finally moved on,
and that brought her genuine relief.
Seeing Allen and Riley living happily together was exactly the outcSuzy had always hoped for,
“What's this, jealousy?” Allen teased with a laugh. “Don't worry, there are plenty of people who put you first-like
Dylan or your dear protégé. Those two are completely

obsessed with you!"
"Get lost!" Suzy retorted, though there was a faint smile on her lips.
The banter over, they returned to the matter at hand. "Did you notice how George's mother didn't seem
surprised by his death? Suzy asked.
"Now that you mention it..." Allen frowned, thinking back. "She did seem odd. She looked upset, sure, but not
shocked. Especially when | told her George had committed suicide-her first reaction wasn't disbelief, just
sadness. Almost like she already knew it was coming."
"If there's something suspicious about George's death, it's likely connected to Wendy." Suzy's tone was sharp.
"Keep a close watch on her. No matter what she does, don't let her out of our sight."
"Got it."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTwo days of surveillance passed, but nothing unusual cup. Wendy buried George, arranging for him to be
laid to rest alongside his father. After that, she packed up and returned to her hometown.
Reports from their team indicated everything in her hometown seemed normal, almost as if their suspicions had
been unwarranted.
Suzy began to doubt herself. Had she overthought the situation? Maybe Wendy's lack of surprise was simply due
to her familiarity with George's personality.
Just as Suzy was about to call her team back, Dylan brought her an important lead: Wendy and Charlotte had
once lived in the sorphanage.
