Novel1Chapter 0099 Chapter 0099 To Suzy's surprise, despite her harsh words, Dylan didn't get angry-instead, he actually began eating the leftovers.
After a brief pause, Suzy stood up. "Well, Mr. Dylan, it seems you're really hungry. Help yourself." Dylan didn't stop her from leaving, but as she reached the door, his calm voice called after her. "How's Claude doing with the patent application?" Suzy halted but didn't turn around. "The result will probably disappoint you." Watching her retreating back, Dylan chuckled softly. "Then let's wait and see.
Suzy didn't respond, heading straight out without another glance. Dylan remained seated, even pouring himself a cup of tea. But just as he lifted it, the cup suddenly shattered in his hand.
Fragments cut into his fingers, and blood began to drip, mixing with the tea. His dark eyes took on a cold, predatory glint.

Just one last signature and it'll be done!" "Don't let your guard down It wasn't that Suzy was overly cautious-it was that Dylan was truly insidious. And as it turned out, her instincts weren't wrong. That night, Riley's call cthrough.
"Boss, they just informedthat the final review didn't meet the requirements, and the patent application was rejected." Just as expected.
Suzy, prepared for this, kept her tone steady. "Who was supposed to sign off last?" "Mark Goodwin!" Suzy let out a low laugh. "So, Dylan's interference brought us right back to square one, with the Goodwin family." She had been strategizing how to get closer to the Goodwins, and Dylan's meddling had indirectly opened a path for her.
However...
It looked like she'd need to dig deeper into the connection between Dylan and Mark.
Previously, she hadn't been certain, but after this, she was sure their relationship wasn't simple She decided not to have Riley handle the next steps; she'd take care of things herself. Originally, Suzy had planned to keep things under wraps from Claude, but now it seemed she'd have to bring him up to speed.
Suzy went to find him, and she didn't knock on the door out of habit.
One glance inside, and she quickly stepped back out, her face warming at the sight she'd just caught. Although she thought of Claude as a brother, seeing a handsman fresh out of the shower was still a bit overwhelming -especially given his physique...
"For someone who spends so much tin a wheelchair, he's got abs..... and eight of them!” she muttered to herself, though she didn't think much more of it.

"Sorry about that, Claude. I thought you'd already finished your shower since it's solate," she said, a bit En: sheepishly. Usually, Claude bathed around nine, and it was already ten-thirty.
"No worries." Claude dismissed his attendant, who had helped him bathe and get dressed.
He turned to Suzy. "So, what's keeping you up at this hour?"
e Suzy explained the situation with the patent application. "I was hoping to surprise you once it was approved, but it seems bylan really did have the power to block it. Still, it's not all bad-it givesanother reason to get closer to the Goodwin family." Claude didn't press her further, simply asking, "What do you needto do?" "Call the Goodwins and arrange forto visit Mark on your behalf." Claude nodded. "Alright, I'll call them in the morning."
With everything settled, Suzy didn't linger, but before she left, she threw in a final bit of advice. "Don't stay up too late-get ssleep!" 7/2 Chapter 0100 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
