However, those words were now futile.Grace wasn't foolish; she had already sensed something amiss from Sophia's words and demeanor."Tell me, who is that woman?" "She's his cleaner! Really!""Don't try to deceive me, Sophia. You should be on my side! How could you side with Liam and hide this from me?" Grace realized that if that woman could enter and leave her son's residence, she must be someone important to him.Initially, Grace thought Liam was too busy with work to clean his place, and since he was a bit of a neat freak, he hired someone. But seeing Sophia's hesitant demeanor today, she was certain that girl wasn't just a cleaner!Sophia lowered her head, lips pressed together in discomfort."I... Mrs. Park, you should ask Liam about it! If I were to speak up, he'd get angry! Liam doesn't like others gossiping about him. He might not get upset with you, but if he knew I told you about this, he’d get mad at me.”Grace stood up suddenly, her expression growing more and more displ
Liam was safeguarding Suzy's interests by serving as a guarantor for Park Group.Did Suzy and Liam share such a close bond despite being classmates? After leaving the meeting room, John was already waiting outside the door. "Mr. Park, your flight ticket has been booked, but the return ticket is still pending. Once you're done with your business in New Valley, just send me a message, and I'll arrange it.""Alright."Liam nodded and strode back to his office. Just as he pushed open the door, he saw his mother sitting on the sofa.Grace looked furious.Liam glanced sideways at John, who promptly closed the door and exited the office."Mom, do you need something?" "If I hadn't returned this time, were you not intending to inform me that you have a lover?" Grace got straight to the point. "The one I saw yesterday, she's not just someone you hired to clean, is she? She's clearly your lover you’re hiding!"Liam didn't like the term "lover," and he furrowed his brows slightly."This is my b
His slender fingertips paused for a moment before he replied, “Alright, I'll pick you up tomorrow after I come back.”Shortly after he hung up the phone, a doctor came out of the emergency room. Upon noticing Liam, he furrowed his brows with concern."Mr. Park, the patient's condition is quite unusual. When she falls into such a deep coma-like state as she is now, she exhibits no will to live. It's likely triggered by some stimulus. I've examined her medical records, and she has severe depression. This is not a condition to be taken lightly!""Yes, I understand." Liam was well aware of this. "How is my mother doing now?""She's temporarily out of danger. Once her vital signs stabilize, she'll be transferred to a regular ward."Liam breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this."You've worked hard.""Saving lives is my duty, Mr. Park, please don't say that." The doctor smiled before preparing to leave. But halfway, he turned back to repeat his advice, "Whatever you do, try not to upset
Grace didn't even consider Suzy to be worthy of a name; she simply referred to her as "the cleaner."Grace believed that by expressing her demand, she could prompt her son's agreement. However, Liam simply gazed back at her, his lips pressed tightly together, showing his unwillingness to yield even in such circumstances and marry Sophia.Both remained silent, their eyes locking in a silent exchange, each lost in their own thoughts. The atmosphere became noticeably tense for a moment, as if time had momentarily frozen.Fortunately, the doctor came over to call him to sign some papers. Liam then softly said, "I'll go check on it," and left the hospital room.Grace's condition was unique; she was susceptible to relapses at any time and in any place.So, after the doctor had him sign the papers, he repeatedly reminded Liam to go along with her wishes, as this self-destructive type of depression had a high mortality rate.When Liam returned to the hospital room, he found someone else there
"I'm sorry," Sophia said, lowering her head as she turned to leave.Grace immediately interjected, "She's also part of the Park family. We don’t need to exclude her from our matters.”Seeing the tension between mother and son escalating, with neither willing to yield, Sophia quickly added, "Mrs. Park, I just remembered I have some unfinished business. “Now that I've seen you awake, I feel relieved. I'll go back to work for now and come back to see you when I'm done."She took a few steps back and then left the room, closing the door behind her.Now, only Grace and Liam were left in the room.The monitoring equipment continued to beep, and the smell of disinfectant filled the air, mingling with an underlying tension.Ever since Grace was rescued from her kidnapping ordeal and developed severe depression, Liam had acquiesced to everything she asked, except for marriage.That was the only thing he couldn't agree to."Why do you think Sophia is unworthy to be with you? What does that clea
"I've liked her for over a decade."Clive was momentarily stunned by his sudden confession, unable to respond.Liam didn't elaborate further and simply drove away from the hospital.Behind him, Clive clicked his tongue, ultimately sighing after pondering for a while.Love is definitely a mystery....In Wendy's house, Suzy listened to Wendy’s constant chatter, but she didn’t register any of Wendy’s words.Her mind was in disarray, leaving her in a state of restlessness."Are you even listening to me?" Wendy nudged her with her elbow.Suzy snapped back to reality. "Huh? Yeah, I heard...""In fact, this matter has already sparked considerable debate within the company. I don't think you should miss out on this wave of attention. Otherwise, as mere employees, it won't be easy for us to bring down a big shot like Sophia. “In my opinion, you should put all the existing evidence online. Although it won't directly prove anything, it can at least sow seeds of doubt.""No, Sophia is a lawyer.
"What does this mean? Didn't the company's upper management say they would investigate thoroughly?"Wendy's fury was evident, her eyes wide as if she were ready to pounce on someone.Compared to her anger, Suzy didn't say a word, just staring intently at the screen.He had said...They would find out the truth and clear his name."Suzy, don't scare me, say something!" Wendy thought Suzy was simply too upset. She quickly reached for her hand, only to notice that Suzy's hand was trembling slightly.Suzy was typically composed. It was Wendy’s first time seeing Suzy in such a state."I'm fine."After a while, Suzy forced a smile at Wendy."Don't pretend you’re fine! We'll go to the company tomorrow. I'll go with you! Damn it, why would they just assume it's you without evidence!""Don't get involved in this matter," Suzy said in a serious tone, lowering her voice, "You worked hard to get into Park Group, don't let my situation drag you down.""What are you talking about? Do you think I wou
Liam paused abruptly, without saying a word, as he took Alec's phone and glanced at it.The announcement was glaringly bold, with a firm and cutting tone."Mr. Park, this...""Notify the website immediately to take down this announcement."He was aware that Suzy must have seen it. It had been a while since she hadn't reached out to him. It appeared that the small amount of trust he had worked hard to build had also been shattered.With one troublesome matter after another, Liam realized that he needed to swiftly resolve the issue regarding Sophia.He boarded a plane from the airport. During the journey, he attempted to call Suzy, but there was no answer.After a moment of hesitation, Liam dismissed the idea of sending her a message.Given the current situation, it was likely that his mother had involved his father as well. She seemed determined to make Sophia her daughter-in-law, and for that purpose, she was willing to do whatever it took.Liam didn't know the exact reason behind her
