Chapter 0328 Chapter 0328 To get Ruby to reveal the truth, hypnosis would have been the most effective method.
Suzy had already tried it at the beginning, but Ruby seemed completely immune, rendering it useless. Finding out who was really orchestrating everything from the shadows remained as challenging as ever.
Just as Suzy was reaching a dead end, Dylan showed up.
"Take a look at this," he said, holding out a folder.
Suzy didn't take it. "I'll handle my own matters. There's no need for your help, Mr. Wright.
She knew he meant well, but she didn't want to owe him anything that might give him an excuse to involve himself in her life later. Cutting off every opportunity for him to insert himself was her best option.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDylan, of course, understood her thinking. "This folder contains information on Ruby Andrews. Whether you look at it or not is up to you." He set the folder down and left without another word.
Aware of how much Suzy had on her plate recently, Dylan had deliberately kept his distance. Instead, he worked quietly behind the scenes, digging into Ruby's background. The deeper he dug, the more alarming the revelations became.
He had debated whether to share what he'd found with Suzy. The truth might be too much for her to bear. But in the end, he decided she had the right to know.
Suzy stared at the folder he had left behind but chose not to open it. Whatever Dylan had uncovered, she could uncover herself with a little more time. Setting it aside in a drawer in the living room, she shifted her focus to more pressing matters.
Later that day, Suzy brought Charlotte's remains back to the cemetery for reburial. As the ceremony proceeded, her sharp eyes caught a glimpse of a suspicious figure-lingering nearby.
Her instincts kicked in immediately, and she gave chase.
But whoever it was, they were too quick. Despite her best efforts, Suzy lost them.
Returning to the cemetery, Suzy was about to oversee the sealing of the coffin when something unusual caught her eye. The skin behind the ear of the body didn't look quite right as if it were covered by a layer of artificial material, like a mask.
A suspicion began to form in her mind.
"Wait," she called, stopping the process.
Chapter 0328 Bending down, she carefully reached toward the back of the body's ear. With a deliberate tug, she peeled back what appeared to be... a mask of human skin.
The crowd around her gasped in shock.
Allen broke the stunned silence. "What the hell. That's not your aunt!" The revelation confirmed it: Ruby had been lying all along.
Suzy stared at the unfamiliar face beneath the mask, her expression unreadable. Whoever this person was, it was clear someone was playing an elaborate gwith her, one filled with deception and misdirection.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBack at Hillside Villa, Suzy didn't immediately confront Ruby.
Instead, her thoughts drifted to the folder Dylan had left for her. After a moment's hesitation, she retrieved it from the drawer and opened it. If accepting his help meant owing him a favor, so be it. Dylan would cling to her regardless of her choices. Scanning through the documents, she quickly absorbed the contents. The file contained. details about Ruby that had never been revealed before...
For starters, Ruby was an orphan. She had grown up in an orphanage after being adopted by a family. Then there was another unexpected detail-Ruby had a sister.
The two of them had been sent to the orphanage together after their parents, adventurous travelers, had died in a tragic accident.
Left with no one else, they initially lived with their grandmother. But her age and frail health soon caught up with her, and after her passing, the sisters were sent to the local orphanage. Ruby's sister had been adopted first.
For a period of time, Ruby didn't know what had becof her th wasn't n't until years later, when her sister reached out to her as an adult, that the two were finally reunited. At the end of the report, Suzy's eyes landed on the sister's identity information.
Her blood turned to ice.
