NovelEnglishChapter 0793 Elliot's meaning couldn't have been clearer.
He was severing his ties with Suzy as her apprentice.
She hadn't expected him to go this far.
It was obvious how furious he was, utterly convinced that they had set him up together.
Even though Diana already told him the truth, he refused to believe a single word of it.
If this had happened in the past, Suzy would have tried to stop him.
But now...
That mysterious F organization was still lurking in the shadows, with no leads or clues in sight.
If Elliot stayed by her side, he would only continue being a target.

"Fine," Suzy said, her expression unreadable as she looked straight at him.
"Since you refuse to believeno matter what, then as you wish-our relationship as mentor and apprentice ends here." Elliot expected her to try and explain, to fight back, to convince him otherwise.
But she didn't.
Not only did she say nothing, but she actually agreed with his decision.
His fists clenched at his sides.
He looked at her, eyes burning with suppressed anger. "So, you already planned for this, hadn't you?" "That's right. I've been planning this for a long time," Suzy replied, following his words without hesitation.
"To be honest, I've been wanting to cut ties with you for a while now. You've been nothing but a burden to me. "If you didn't have feelings for me, I wouldn't have minded you sticking around. But you're like an annoying shadow I just can't shake, and I'm tired of it." Elliot stiffened.
The pain in his eyes was unmistakable, bleeding into every corner of his expression. "A burden?" So that was how she had seen him all along? He always knew he didn't mean as much to her as Dylan did.
But at the very least, he thought he held ssignificance in her life.
And yet, here she was, standing in front of everyone, telling him he was nothing more than a weight around her neck.
A sharp, suffocating pain gripped his chest.
"If that's how you felt, then why did you bringback in the first place?" "For appearances, of course," Suzy said, forcing the cruelest words she could muster.
"No matter what, you were my apprentice in the eyes of the world. If I had just abandoned you completely, people would hel talked.
"So, I had to at least put on a show to protect my reputation." "Put on a show?" Elliot's bloodshot eyes darkened further, the red veins in them stark against the whites.
"So that's all I ever was to you. I actually thought I mattered to you. Turns out, I've been fooling myself all this time." Diana's heart ached unbearably as she watched Elliot, his pain evident in every trembling breath.
She wanted to stop Suzy from saying more, to step in and shield him from words that cut deeper than any wound.
But she saw the subtle glance Suzy gave her moments ago.
A silent signal. A deliberate move.
And she understood why.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSuzy wasn't doing this to hurt Elliot-she was doing it to protect him.
She was forcing a clean break, pushing him away so he wouldn't suffer more in the future.
Even though it hurt, Diana bit her tongue and said nothing.
She wasn't the only one who understood.
Dylan and Allen also caught on to Suzy's intentions.
They too remained silent, choosing not to interfere.
Elliot wiped away the tears threatening to spill from his eyes, his face set with fierce determination.
"Fine. From this moment on, you are no longer my mentor, and Kam no longer you apprentice."
"Exactly what I wanted," Suzy forced out, burying the sharp paintearing through her chest. Elliot let out a bitter laugh, casting her one last, agonizing look beforet g on his heel and wall. Defore away without hesitation.
He didn't see how the moment he turned, Suzy's carefully restrained tears finally broke free, sliding silently down her face.
Allen sighed and grabbed a tissue handing it to her. "Boss, why do you do this to yourself? Aren't you afraid he'll really end up hating mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
