There's no need to beat around the bush." Suzy sneered. "Oh, in that case, I won't bother with pleasantries." She grabbed Anne by the hair and dragged her toward Lisa, who had stood up from the couch the moment Suzy entered. Suzy's voice was cold as ice. “Lisa, you've been withfor years. You know my temper.

She said if I didn't agree, she'd havekilled..." Anne's expression darkened, her brow furrowing deeply. "You're lying. I don't even know you." At that moment, Anne finally understood the purpose of this stranger's visit.
Her thoughts shifted to the man who had always kept his face hidden from her. Could he have sent this woman to frher for failing to carry out his plan? With this suspicion in mind, Anne turned to Suzy. "Suzy, don't listen to her nonsense. I don't even know this woman, let alone do the things she's accusingof. Someone's clearly behind this, trying to setup and turn you against me." "Is that so?" Suzy's cold gaze shifted back to Lisa. "Who should I believe? You or her?" Lisa looked up, her voice trembling with guilt. I'm telling the truth. If she hadn't threatened me, I would never have betrayed you! I owe you my life. Without you, I wouldn't even be here today. I'm sorry... I failed you." "Shut up!" Anne snapped, her anger boiling over. "Before Suzy showed up, you barged in out of nowhere. I asked you several times who you were, and you refused to answer. Who's really behind this? Who sent you here to drive a wedge betweenand her?" Before Lisa could finish, Charlotte strode over and confronted her. "Do you dare swear that every word you've said is the truth?" Lisa glanced at Charlotte and nodded solemnly.

Lisa's voice shook with guilt. "I betrayed my benefactor and broke the trust you placed in me." "If you're feeling so guilty," Charlotte snapped, tossing a knife at Lisa's feet. "Then take full responsibility and pay with your life." Suzy opened her mouth to stop her, but before she could say a word, Lisa picked up the knife and plunged it into her own chest.
Lisa crumpled to the floor, her unblinking gaze locking onto Suzy's, heavy with an intensity Suzy couldn't fully understand.
