"You have no idea how proud your brother is to have you as his sister," Evangeline said with a chuckle.
"He doesn't just brag about you tohe talks you up to anyone who'll listen."
"Oh?" Suzy laughed.
"Is there sjuicy story here | don't know about?"
"Actually, yes!" Evangeline's eyes lit up.
"There was this one t| took him to my college reunion.
"One of my classmates started going on about how her sister was the best in the world and that no one could
possibly compare.
"Well, your brother wasn't having any of it. He immediately jumped in, arguing that his sister was the best-hands
down, no contest."
Suzy raised a brow, amused. "Seriously? Over who had the best sister?"
"Yep." Evangeline sighed with exaggerated disbelief.
"That was the day | learned that men don't just compete over cars, houses, money, wives, or kids—they also
compete over sisters."
Suzy burst out laughing, but Evangeline wasn't done.
"You should've seen him standing there, hands on his hips, firing back at this poor guy like a knight defending
your honor.
"| sat there thinking, 'Is this really the sman who barely talks when we go out in public?’
"At home, he's Mr. Chatty, but out there? Silent as a stone, unless someone tries to say their sister is better than
you.
"I asked him about it later, and you know what he said?"
"What?"

about you."
As Evangeline recounted the story, Suzy kept a close eye on her expression.
And that was when she noticed it a flicker of something in her eyes.
It was jealousy.
It passed quickly, but Suzy caught it.
Evangeline must have realized she'd been caught, because she quickly forced a laugh and waved a hand
dismissively.
"Honestly, sometimes | do get a little jealous of you," she admitted with a sheepish smile.
"Not because of how much he cares about you, but because you have a brother who loves you so much.
"People say the greatest gift in life isn't a partner who loves you, but a brother who cherishes you like you're the
most precious thing in the world.
"No matter what happens, he's always there a safe harbor to protect you." Suzy's smile thinned.
"I'm not so sure about that. Honestly, | think he treats you way better than he treats me.
"Remember when we faked that argument to fool Helena? | figured you'd tell him about it.
"But nope. He thought we really fell out, and the next thing | knew, he was at Helena's place, tearing into me
and swearing he was done withforever.
"That kind of 'safe harbor'? No thanks-I'll pass."
"Is that so?" Evangeline smiled faintly.

"He cares about you too much. If he knew the plan, his reactions wouldn't have
been as genuine."
"Ah... | see." Suzy pressed her lips together and forced a smile.
"Well, | should head back to my room. You get back to whatever you were doing."
Back in her room, Suzy paced the floor, replaying every conversation, every strange moment, and every
piece of the puzzle that had brought her here.
The more she thought about it, the less sense it made.
Something was off. Very off.
Dylan noticed her agitation immediately. "What's wrong?"
She opened her mouth but hesitated.
"Nothing," she said, though the tension in her shoulders betrayed her words.
"Suzy," Dylan said softly, his eyes searching hers.
"You wouldn't look like this if it were nothing. What's going on?"
Suzy hesitated a moment longer, then sat beside him and exhaled slowly.

"First Helena, then Serena... and now..."
Her voice faltered.
"Now what?" Dylan prompted gently.
Suzy swallowed hard. "Now I'm starting to think they might both be innocent."
His eyes widened slightly. "And if they're not behind it, then who is?"
