Chapter 0439 Chapter 0439 When Suzy stormed back into the café, Selena's expression faltered. "Miss Frost, why did you show up in the middle of the night? Are you here for a drink?" Slap! Suzy didn't waste ton pleasantries, striking Selena hard across the face. "Where is he?" "You've already searched everywhere," Selena snapped, clutching her stinging cheek. "I told you that he's not here-" Slap! Before Selena could finish, Suzy's hand cdown again. Her voice was ice- cold. "I'll ask you one last time. Where. Is. He?" "I don't know!" Selena cried, her voice shaking as she held her reddened cheek. "If you don't believe me, search again. Tear this place apart if you want. If you find him, do whatever you want with me." Suzy had no patience left. She turned to Victor. "Flatten the place." Selena's face went pale. "Miss Frost, just because you can't find him doesn't mean you can, take it out on me. Don't you think this is going too far?" Victor crossed his arms, his tone sharp. "Selena, the man you sent to kill Suzy already confessed. If you have nothing to hide, then why send someone after her in the middle of the night?" "I didn't! It wasn't me!" Selena protested, her voice rising in desperation. "This is all Maya's doing.

Selena looked utterly defeated. "He's not here! What do you wantto do? Hand over someone who doesn't exist?" Her voice cracked in frustration. "If you want to kill me, just do it. Stop making excuses!" Suzy's expression darkened, and without another word, she grabbed a bottle from the counter and hurled it across the room, shattering it.

Selena shoved Victor aside with surprising force and planted herself in front of the secret door, blocking Suzy's path. "This is trespassing! I'll report you both to the authorities!" Before Suzy could respond, Victor delivered a swift kick, sending Selena sprawling to the floor. "You talk too much." Selena hit the ground with a thud, clutching her side as Suzy stepped past her without a word, her expression cold and unreadable.
Inside the hidden room, Suzy's eyes were immediately drawn to the bed in the center. Lying there, with his back to her, was a man.
Even before seeing his face, Suzy's heart knew it was Dylan.
After all this time, after all the dead ends, she had finally found him. A wave of relief swept over her, grounding her in that moment.

"Dylan..." Her voice cracked as she tried again, louder this time. "Dylan!" Still, there was no response.
Victor, who had followed her inside, frowned deeply at the scene. His gaze snapped to selena, who was still crumpled on the floor. "What the hell did you do to him?"
