At that moment, Suzy had a sudden realization. This was all a setup; Sophia wanted to force her out of Park Group, maybe even out of the entire investment banking industry!Furrowing her brows, Suzy stated firmly, "I've made it clear I have no intention of competing with you."Suzy was well aware of her position. However, even so, Sophia clearly had no intention of letting her off the hook."I don't understand what you're talking about," Sophia's voice remained pleasant, almost patient. "If there's nothing else, I have work to attend to.""You understand perfectly well! You're targeting me because of Mr. Park, aren't you? You're trying to set me up!" Suzy didn't want to play along with her, so she decided to confront her directly."Because of Mr. Park? Miss Chase, I suggest you think carefully before speaking," Sophia said, her tone firm, before hanging up.Suzy considered calling back, but as her fingertip hovered over the screen, she refrained. Sophia had declared war on her. Looki
“It was Miss Burns who asked me for it, and she seemed to need it urgently, so I didn't think much about it.""Even if it was Mr. Park asking, you still have to follow the proper procedure!" Alec urged himself to remain calm as he pondered, but this situation seemed unsolvable! Leaking the core diagram required an explanation to Far East Corporation. "Moreover, you haven't known Miss Burns for long. If you were to tell others that she set you up, you must provide a reason for it."Even if Alec were to believe her, the public would want to see evidence, not just her testimony alone.Suzy opened her mouth but couldn't find the words to say anything.She couldn't tell anyone that Sophia's animosity towards her stemmed from her current relationship with Liam."Speak up! It's come to this point, there's no point in hiding anymore! If I'm supposed to help you come up with ideas, you have to tell me everything! Is there any conflict between you and Miss Burns?" "I... don't know," Suzy rep
"The money for my mother's surgery definitely didn't come from this! You can ask someone in the company to investigate!" "You don't have to yell at me like I’m in the wrong here. The company will definitely send someone to investigate. When that happens, you can’t get away with your lies!" Desmond cursed loudly, "I’m really unlucky to have you on my team!”Suzy could even imagine the expression on Desmond's face at this moment as if he wanted to tear her apart.There was a busy tone on the other end, indicating that he might have already smashed his phone.Suzy dug her nails into the flesh of her palm, forcing herself to calm down! The more challenging the situation, the less one could afford to panic.Moreover, she was not the one who leaked the information.She carefully considered that if she wanted to prove her innocence in this matter, she would first have to find the records of Sophia asking her for the core drawings! In that case, Sophia would also be part of the investigation
"I'm asking you a question.""Yes, I haven't sent it to anyone else! Only Mr. Shaw and I have access to the core technical drawings for this project.""Understood."With a cold frown, Liam tossed out these words and headed to the bedroom with his phone in hand.Watching his retreating figure, Suzy's lips curled slightly.Counting on Liam to uphold justice in this matter was futile. She would have to rely on herself.She sat back at the computer, tirelessly searching for ways to recover the vanished messages. However, every method she tried seemed futile!Suzy called the service provider again, only to be told that recovery was impossible.Would Sophia easily destroy her future and all her previous efforts?Suddenly, her phone, lying nearby, lit up.It was a message from Jeffrey.However, Suzy couldn't focus. She decided to pack her bags instead, preparing to return to the company overnight to confront Sophia! This matter involved her reputation and future; she couldn't just let it go.
She truly couldn't bring herself to trust him.If it were someone else framing her, perhaps she could choose to trust Liam.However, the one who was framing her was Sophia!Someone who held great influence in Liam's heart, and someone who had made significant contributions to Park Group.Regardless of who weighed the pros and cons, it was clear who they would choose to side with.Would the truth still matter then? Would anyone care? Suzy even suspected that Liam, as the CEO, insisted on getting involved in this matter precisely to destroy the evidence and protect Sophia.Yes, at this moment, she trusted no one.Once the accusation of leaking confidential documents and betraying the company was established, she would carry the accusation for a lifetime."I'm sorry." Suzy left the room after uttering those two words, dragging her suitcase behind her.She bought a plane ticket for the next flight back to Northorn City.While waiting at the airport lounge, she finally took out her phone
Jeffrey had no idea what time Suzy's plane would land, only knowing it was in the early morning, so he came to wait at eleven at night.Before Suzy could even reply to his message, she heard Jeffrey's voice.Looking up, she saw him standing at the pickup area, dressed in a dark coat, looking weary."Suzy, over here!"Without a word, she walked over with her luggage, and Jeffrey naturally took it from her."You must be tired. Get in the car quickly; I'll take you to Wendy's place for a good rest! Tomorrow morning, some friends of mine will come to help you out. They're experts in this field. I’ve contacted them for help because I'm afraid I won't be enough on my own.”Jeffrey's rapid-fire speech at the moment really resembled Wendy's.Yet, in the late night, it gave off a warmth and kindness akin to that of family."What's wrong?"Seeing her hesitation, Jeffrey raised an eyebrow."I... I can't accept your kindness, Mr. Palmer. I can't just accept your help without feeling guilty."He pa
In order to prevent Liam from feeling like she was being difficult, she paused for a moment, then simply responded with "Yes," before setting her phone aside and going to sleep.That night, she somehow dreamt about the moment her father confessed to having an affair and fathering an illegitimate daughter."Yes, she's about the same age as Suzy. She became pregnant within a year of your pregnancy.""If you're willing to accept them into the family, we can stay married. I assure you that moving forward, I will only stay faithful to the both of you. I won't seek another woman.""I wanted a son, but you couldn't give me one even though you're my legal wife! Fine, if you won't agree to divorce, then prepare to be a widow!"Back then, Suzy was still a child. Melissa had her back turned, so Suzy couldn't see her expression. What truly stuck with her were those three sentences from her father, and the disdainful and repulsive look in her father's eyes when he glanced at her.Later on, her moth
"Miss Burns has some serious issues! You can't choose your appearance; it's all in your parents' genes," Wendy scoffed. "If I ran into someone who wasn't my relative but resembled me, I'd embrace her like a sister! That's fate for you."Blood relations...Wendy's casual remark made Suzy furrow her brows."What's wrong?""Nothing." She shook her head.Before Suzy could say anything else, her phone rang.Glancing at it, she saw it was Alec calling."Hello?""Tell me everything about the whole situation, and I'll help you think of a solution." Alec got straight to the point. "I thought about it yesterday. Miss Burns has a lot of support within the Park Group. No matter what her motives are for trying to frame you, not many people will believe you! Your chain of evidence has to be solid enough to leave them speechless.""Yeah, I know.""Mr. Park already knows about this. It's clear he's in a tough spot, torn between preserving your friendship and..." Alec paused, "...and Miss Burns' cruc
