"Have you finished?" "Liam! Are you really willing to forsake even your mother for Suzy?! It seems like you've been completely bewitched by her!"He didn't respond, merely stood up and opened the office door. "Please."Sophia was speechless.Her expression at that moment was nothing short of spectacular! A mix of embarrassment, awkwardness, and anger flooded her face.However, Liam remained indifferent, unwilling even to glance at her.After Sophia left in her high heels, Liam glanced at the resignation letter on the desk, then returned to his seat and called the HR department."Process Mrs. Burns' resignation. Yes, she's resigning voluntarily."...Liam had expected William to visit him, so when he returned to his office after his meeting and saw William, he showed no surprise.He was in the midst of typing a message to Suzy on his phone.“Don't argue with your mother. Once things here are settled, I'll go talk to her.”Liam knew Grace probably didn't say anything nice when she went
Liam frowned, unhappy with his father's abrupt decision regarding a person's future."I can only promise you that if Suzy ever becomes part of the core operations at Park Group, it will be solely based on her abilities.""Why are you so sure of Suzy's capabilities, yet you refuse to consider what Sophia has done for the company? Since your mother has chosen her as a daughter-in-law, she must be outstanding in many aspects.""Sophia has been compensated for her contributions to the company," Liam retorted, feeling no guilt towards Sophia. Although she indeed had contributed significantly to Park Group, she was also the one who received the most annual bonuses in the legal department!"I have already backed down, not because I am afraid of you, but because I fear for my wife, your mother's life!" William scoffed coldly, "Figure out the rest on your own."After saying this, he stood up and left the office.Liam returned to his desk and glanced at his phone, which displayed a message from
"He won't agree.”"Are you so sure?" Melissa raised an eyebrow at her daughter and sighed deeply. "You truly have my blood—your temperament is just like mine! I always thought that by constantly protecting and reminding you, you wouldn't follow in my footsteps. But it seems heavens love to play such cruel tricks on us when it comes to love."Suzy knew her mother was thinking of her father again.She also understood that her mother wouldn't harm her, but Liam had done so much for her, so she believed he wouldn't let her down."If Liam were the type to easily abandon his vows, he could have just fired me and be with Sophia. That would solve all the problems.”As Alec had said, Liam had a thousand ways to extricate himself, to clear away the troublesome matters at hand, to disregard her wellbeing, and to focus solely on the interests of Park Group, yet he hadn’t. Even when she herself had wavered multiple times, he had not consented, instead reassuring her with his weary voice.He disag
Liam had grown accustomed to waiting for Suzy.He had waited all these years, so waiting a short while like this meant nothing to him.As the sunset's fading light dimmed, Suzy looked up at him.Years had gone by, but his face showed no signs of aging; he still looked youthful."You should smile more often, don’t always keep a straight face.""Mm, okay." Liam nodded, and only after Suzy had gotten into the car did he move to the driver's seat.Today, he hadn't brought along his assistant. The drive home made Suzy feel as if they were just an ordinary couple, returning home from work together, cooking dinner together, and then falling asleep in each other’s arms.Unfortunately...Liam was no ordinary man.Suzy wanted to ask about his mother, but after much thought, she decided against it.She didn't want to break the peaceful intimacy of their moment together.Upon arriving at Easter Bay, Liam changed clothes and headed to the kitchen, with Suzy following him."Let me cook today, you ta
The implication was clear: she shouldn't sacrifice her last bit of dignity.After hearing this, Sophia smiled."You will beg me because your father has already decided to make a move against Miss Chase."Liam's face, usually composed, showed a hint of shock for the first time as he furrowed his brows deeply, "What did you say?!""Liam, you're not the same as you used to be," Sophia paused before adding, "You have a weakness now."Suzy was now his weakness!Once a person has a weakness, they are no longer invincible and will have their reservations.After Sophia left, Liam had just returned when he saw Suzy hurrying out of the kitchen, "Something happened to my mother, I need to go there right away! I won't be able to join you for dinner.""What happened?""I'm not sure of the details, the doctor called me. She got agitated again and had a heart attack."Liam, remembering what Sophia had just said, insisted, "I'll come with you.""No need." Suzy looked up at him."My mom hasn't accepted
As if sensing her presence, Liam instinctively looked in a certain direction and immediately caught Suzy's gaze.“I'll wait for you.”After sending the message, he promptly opened his work application to review documents.Ever since Suzy came into his life, Liam no longer wanted to return to Easter Bay alone! He felt that it only felt like a home when it had its lady of the house.As he started his work, he was ready to pull an all-nighter, intending to take only a short nap in the morning before heading to the office. His main concern was any problems that might arise for Suzy that he couldn't handle immediately.Time ticked by, and close to midnight, Liam was surprised to see Suzy hurrying out of the hospital entrance!She saw Liam’s car and quickly walked up to knock on the window."Surprised? Bet you didn’t expect me to come out!"Liam smiled and stepped out of the car, "Yes, is your mother alright?”"There’s not much problem; she just had a heart attack after getting scared, but s
"Alright, it’s settled then! Finally, everything's clear now! Suzy, you're good to go back to work without any worries!" As someone simple, Wendy did not think there was any hidden agenda with what Sophia had posted.Naturally, she thought this issue was finally resolved, not realizing that Sophia's move was not actually an apology.Suzy didn't want Wendy to worry about her, so she just smiled and replied, "Yes.""Are you free this weekend? How about we have a meal together to celebrate? My treat!" Wendy offered eagerly."My mother is having some health issues again, I can't leave her side. Let's wait until I'm done with all this.”Wendy sighed on the other end. "Alright then, I'll wait for you! Let me know if you need any help. Don't be shy. I'm not really busy at work anyway, ever since you left, Mr. Shaw keeps making snide remarks at me, I've been thinking of quitting!""Don't... You're doing well at FortuneWave. Don't let me affect your decisions! Mr. Shaw is actually not a bad man
He aimed to give Suzy, a woman with a sensitive nature who frequently hid her true feelings, the utmost support possible.Suzy smiled as she looked at the man in front of her, who, despite his cold, dignified, and aloof appearance as the CEO of Park Group to others, spoke with such thoughtful and gentle words. The emotions stirring in her heart were beyond words!She felt that even if in the future it turned out her mother was right, that Liam was just toying with her, this moment alone was enough!She didn't want to ponder over anything else....Sophia's abrupt resignation had a temporary impact on the legal department at Park Group. Several contract reviews were delayed because no one felt comfortable approving them without Sophia, and her replacement was particularly cautious.If it weren't for the overload of work, her new replacement would have considered taking medical leave to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.Everyone within Park Group was aware of Sophia's exceptional re
