Suzy recognized Jeffrey's good intentions in wanting to assist her, but she lacked anything of comparable value to offer him in return.When Jeffrey noticed her hesitation, he instinctively reached out and grabbed her wrist. Suddenly, Suzy felt herself pulled backward, stumbling before finding herself in a firm embrace. Startled, she looked up to see Liam. How had he arrived so suddenly?"There's no need for you to trouble yourself, Mr. Palmer. I'll take her from here.”Jeffrey glanced at Suzy, then at Liam. "Are you... Suzy's boyfriend?""No, he's not," Suzy quickly denied before Liam could respond.For a brief moment, time seemed to freeze as Liam remained silent, merely moving his lips slightly without saying a word. Despite Jeffrey's desire to inquire further, Liam had already taken Suzy into his car.The car had traveled a distance before Suzy spoke up, "You can drop me off at the next intersection.""I'll have Transcend Enterprises' investigation department look into this matt
Liam furrowed his brows."To prove innocence, you need evidence. It's not something that can be solved just because Mr. Palmer believes in you.""I know, that's why I'm going to collect evidence now." After speaking, Suzy tugged at the car door and furrowed her eyebrows. "Could you please open the door?""According to what you have said, we'd need either a voice recording of Sophia admitting it herself or direct evidence of her instructing you to send the technical drawings! "There's no point in going to Great Wealth Corporation; they're insisting that they created the technical drawings themselves."In the industry, Great Wealth Corporation's behavior wasn't unprecedented. Everyone knew what kind of company it was. Suzy wouldn't gain anything by going there, and if someone with ill intentions captured video or photos, it would only provide further evidence of her association with the company."Can you make her admit it?" Suzy turned to look at him."... No.""So, all of this is use
Liam understood that she was extremely stubborn; the more she resisted, the less she was open to reason.He took a deep breath and spoke softly, "Why don't you join me for lunch first? I'm sure you didn't have a proper breakfast this morning, and skipping meals could give you a stomachache."As he spoke, he was about to start the car engine again.Suzy wiped away her tears. "I'm not hungry, I want to get out of the car!""Although the agreement doesn't specify that you must work at Park Group, it does state that if I need you, you have to be available at my beck and call," Liam said helplessly, resorting to using their contract."... The agreement mentions 'need,' not specifically having meals together!" "Then come back with me to Easter Bay to fulfill my needs."Suzy nearly bit her tongue off in disbelief."Let's just have lunch." ...Park Group Legal Affairs Office.After finishing up a document, Sophia noticed a notification on the company’s internal server. She raised an eyebrow
" You believe in the principle that the innocent will ultimately prove their innocence, but you can't overlook the possibility that Suzy has been portraying herself as the victim all this time! Don’t you realize the harmful effects of gossip and rumors?”Sophia chuckled at his exaggerated expression and waved her hand dismissively."That's perfect. Since Mrs. Park is back, I can use this time while they're conducting the investigation to take a break. Please don't disrupt my plans."Clive looked at her for a while, sighing deeply."You spoil Liam too much! At this rate, when will he ever appreciate you?""I'm not doing this for his sake. I genuinely care about Mrs. Park; she's like a mother to me."Clive nodded, then suddenly asked, " By the way, why don't you talk about your father much? He and your mother must have had a loving marriage, right? Only then could they have raised such a gentle and considerate daughter like you.""...Yes, they are very loving." However, they weren’t ma
Throughout the meal, Suzy wanted to ask Liam about the meaning behind his earlier words several times, but she ultimately decided to keep her thoughts to herself.Top of FormNow, she needed to focus on finding evidence instead of letting these random thoughts affect her.After dinner, Liam received an urgent phone call and had to leave.However, he made sure to drop Suzy off at Wendy's place first and reiterated that she must move back to Easter Bay by tomorrow at the latest.Upon returning to her room, Suzy found her thoughts scattered and disorganized, unable to grasp any sense of clarity.Suddenly, her phone rang.It was a call from Melissa."Have you returned from your business trip?" "Yes, but things are hectic at the office. I haven't had the chance to come see you yet."Melissa chuckled. "You focus on your work. If you're busy, you don't have to come see me. I'll be fine!"Suzy didn't tell her mother about what had happened. It was unnecessary to burden her with more worries.
Suzy naturally wouldn't tell Wendy who she wanted to have the paternity test for. She wouldn't say anything until everything was settled. In the evening, when Wendy returned home from work, she saw Suzy packing her luggage again and quickly asked, "What's going on now? You brought up the paternity test earlier, and now you're packing up to leave. I just can't figure you out!"Suzy put down what she was doing and smiled."The hospital needed the paternity test. I'm moving out because... the company wants to investigate me thoroughly, so I need to move to a designated location.""They are going too far! Once you've proven your innocence, I'll accompany you to the company to demand an explanation. And if they refuse to compensate you for the stress they've caused, we'll take legal action!"Wendy had always been a naive and straightforward person, her determination to protect Suzy evident in her expression."I will find evidence to prove it."Suzy pursed her lips, hiding her true feelings
"I won’t blame him." "Mr. Park rushed back to Northorn City overnight because of your situation. Things are in a state of emergency here in New Valley. He mentioned he'll be back in a few days, which proves he's also keen on getting to the bottom of this." Suzy smiled, looking at the computer screen, feeling somewhat puzzled.Was Liam's swift action aimed at clearing her name? Or was he worried about the potential impact on Sophia's reputation once the truth came out?And what did he mean by "I want to protect you"?She pondered for a moment but didn't dwell too much on it.Feeling prepared, Suzy got up from her desk and headed straight to the Legal Department."Hello, is Miss Burns in the office today?" she asked a legal department staff member as she stepped out of the elevator.It was obvious the staff member knew about Suzy and Sophia's situation, her eyes lighting up with a mix of curiosity and excitement, tinged with a hint of caution."What do you need her for?" "I'd like to
Without waiting for Suzy to react, Sophia immediately reached out in pain as soon as she saw Liam. "Liam, help me... I'm... bleeding..."All eyes turned towards them simultaneously. True to Sophia's words, her body was covered in large patches of blood, which was quite alarming to witness.Liam immediately called for an ambulance and then went over to scoop Sophia up and leave the office.He did all these without exchanging a word with Suzy, not even making eye contact.After they left, Sophia's assistant hurried in, glanced at the bloodstains on the floor, then at Suzy, looking bewildered.What was going on here? Did she just step into a crime scene?Suzy hadn't expected that her act of self-defense would lead to such serious consequences!It was Sophia who had initiated the violence...As more and more people from the Legal Department gathered, John came over. "Everyone, get back to work. Mr. Park has made it clear that this matter is off-limits for discussion! No taking photos or s
