"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
In William's eyes, this was already the biggest compromise he would make for Liam.He never expected his son to rebel like this. Even during Liam's teenage years, he never caused any trouble. But now, all because of Suzy, his actions shocked everyone in the Park family.Liam didn't respond to his father's remarks but simply stated he was boarding and hung up. On the journey back, he remained silent, his dark eyes fixed on the window. The atmosphere around him felt chilly, leaving everyone wondering what he was thinking....As soon as the company announcement was made, the HR department contacted Suzy."Miss Chase, please come in within three days to process your resignation.""So, the reason you're firing me is because, after investigation, you've concluded I leaked company information, is that it?" Suzy's tone was assertive, far from that of someone being dismissed for wrongdoing, which made the HR representative seem a bit unsure after her strong rebuttal."This decision comes fro
Liam pressed his lips tightly together. Although he didn't speak, the atmosphere plummeted to its lowest...Suzy had never seen him like this before, and she instinctively took a step back.Seemingly realizing he had startled her, Liam's handsome face softened slightly, his voice becoming low and hoarse."I don't agree.""Mr. Park, I understand that this situation has put you in a difficult position, so I'll handle the rest myself. I haven't done anything wrong, and I'm sure I can find a way to prove it." However, with Park Group's decision to terminate her, she would undoubtedly find herself on the opposing side in arbitration or court proceedings in the future.So, Suzy wanted to clarify her relationship with Liam first."Suzy, come home with me." Liam's tone was gentle and patient as if coaxing a stubborn wife who had run away from home, a stark contrast to his earlier coldness.This situation unfolded right at Wendy's doorstep, making Suzy aware that she couldn't stay there with
Suzy furrowed her brows. She wasn’t concerned about that!"I know, you've mentioned it before.”If Liam had feelings for Sophia, many things might not have occurred. However, it appeared that Sophia still harbored resentment toward her."Let's eat first," Liam murmured, barely audible, closing the topic again.He realized that Suzy wasn't in the right frame of mind to listen to him at the moment. She wasn't capable of making rational decisions, and the mention of termination and divorce came out too hastily. So, he chose to ignore them....Two guards stood outside Grace's hospital room, vigilant for any more impulsive actions from her.Confident that Liam wasn't at the hospital, Sophia sneaked in to visit Grace."Mrs. Park, why did you do something so silly..." Sophia hugged Mrs. Park as soon as she entered. "If Liam doesn't want to marry me, that's okay. Please don't pressure him anymore. And please, take care of yourself! I don't want to lose someone who has always cared for me."
Sophia didn't respond to Grace's "plea."She simply lowered her eyelids, appearing convincingly torn."Mrs. Park, if we do this, Liam will resent us... He might be even more reluctant to marry me, and we might not even stay friends.""I understand, I understand everything! You don't need to do anything. Since I’ve promised you this marriage, I'll handle everything ahead." Grace naturally understood Sophia's concerns.If Sophia intervened too much in breaking up Liam and Suzy, even if she were to marry Liam later on, Liam would still harbor resentment towards her as his wife! He would see her as a troublemaker, thinking she had ulterior motives.This wouldn't be conducive to the development of their relationship as husband and wife in the future!However, if Grace were to handle all these dirty deeds, it would be different! Liam couldn't keep holding a grudge against his own mother.Sophia succeeded in her goal today: she manipulated Grace into aiding her plan to separate Liam and Su
