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
Fortunately, Alec had always treated Suzy well; he hadn't offended this CEO's favorite person.He headed to the legal department to deliver Liam’s message, and the shock on everyone's faces was no less than Alec's initial reaction."Mr. Park is considering disbanding the entire legal department of Park Group?! Mr. Lincoln, are you sure you heard that right?"This decision was crucial!Every subsidiary of Park Group had its own legal department, and there had never been a precedent for hiring external law firms. Was he really about to break this rule just for Suzy?Alec cleared his throat and replied sternly, "Now you should understand Mr. Park's intentions. When you work at Park Group, just focus on your job at hand and do it well.""We understand! We'll make sure not to disappoint Mr. Park.""Good."After delivering the message, Alec turned to leave the legal department, only to find Sophia standing there! Unsure of how long she had been there or if she had overheard their conversatio
"You—""Miss Burns, I won't disturb you from retrieving your belongings. Mr. Park has some matters that require my attention."Top of FormAlec ignored Sophia's furious glare and walked straight into the elevator.Sophia clenched her fists tightly, her body shaking involuntarily with anger!Fine, now everyone was laughing at her! Even Alec was talking down to her! Just wait and see. There would come a day when Liam would personally welcome her back....In the hospital room, Melissa was lying there listening to music, quite contentedly.The CD was a special collection Jeffrey had found for her, which was no longer available in stores."Mrs. Chase, would you like me to massage your legs? I've been experiencing some shoulder and back pain lately due to the various issues at our school, so I visited a masseuse. I found it quite helpful and even learned a few techniques."Melissa had called Jeffrey over, but he hadn't informed Suzy.He didn't want her to worry unnecessarily!"You, a univ
Jeffrey experienced an inexplicable tightness in his chest, feeling oppressed despite being deemed highly successful by many....Upon entering the hospital room, Suzy noticed her mother's mood seemed unusually good.Typically, Melissa would have a stern expression, but today, there was a hint of a smile."Did something good happen?" Melissa's cheerful demeanor lifted Suzy's spirits as she placed the fruits she had bought on the way onto the bedside table."Can't I just be in a good mood for no reason?""Of course." Suzy began peeling the oranges, placing them onto a small plate.Melissa watched her daughter and couldn't resist asking, "Has Mr. Park's mother been bothering you?"Suzy paused for a moment, then shook her head. "No.""See, that’s the attitude of his family! They think their son could never be at a disadvantage, so they don’t even care if he were to fool around for a while!” "Mom!" Suzy frowned. "Could you please try not to be so narrow-minded?"Melissa chuckled as she a
Suzy vaguely remembered that in the haze, Liam was repeatedly brushing her hair, until she completely lost consciousness and fell asleep…Perhaps because her strength was drained, she slept very deeply.Before Liam left, he intentionally closed the curtains tightly, blocking out any trace of light, which led Suzy to sleep until noon before waking up.When Suzy woke up, she glanced at her phone and noticed a missed call from her mother and another one from Alec.What could Alec want from her?Suzy quickly sat up to clear her head, then returned the call."Mr. Lincoln, were you looking for me?""Yes, I was wondering when you'd return to work.”"You could've called a few more times; I overslept by accident... I'm sorry! Next time, if it's urgent, feel free to call me repeatedly." Suzy hurriedly apologized.Alec chuckled on the other end, saying, "Mr. Park already informed me that you were still sleeping and advised me not to disturb you. He mentioned that you'd reach out once you woke up.
