“Suzy and Jeffrey are not in a relationship.”"Ha!" William scoffed. "That's only because you're now an option! Without you, Jeffrey is considered a good catch for someone like Suzy!"Upon hearing this, Liam's brows furrowed deeply."You've even investigated Jeffrey.""I'm worried you might be deceived! You've always been responsible about who you had feelings for and we never needed to worry about you. Back in college, while other wealthy kids were dating and partying, you never got fixated on anyone. Yet, out of the blue, Suzy has captivated you entirely. How can your mom and I not be concerned?""I only want what I desire." The only person he ever wanted from the start until today had only been Suzy.Therefore, Liam's affections had never lingered on any other woman, even before he met Suzy again, he had never developed feelings for anyone else.He loved Suzy exclusively."You'll regret it one day!" William snorted coldly and turned to walk away.Suddenly, Alec's figure appeared at
After disconnecting the call, William didn't send anyone else to stop Liam.He thought that if his wife had witnessed their son's expression at that moment, she might have also considered backing out.Just that look alone made William certain that Liam would indeed sever ties with him because of Suzy....After leaving the hospital, Liam got straight into the car.Even without saying anything, Alec knew where to drive Liam to.On the way, Liam kept calling Suzy, but she never picked up the phone."Did you contact Suzy today?""No, she mentioned she was going for a health check-up. I thought since she finally took a day off, it wouldn't be right to bother her about work," Alec paused before continuing, "After you instructed me, I tried reaching out, but still no answer."Liam's brows furrowed deeply as he stared intently at the phone screen.Soon, the car reached Easter Bay, and sure enough, upon opening the door, the place was deserted!Suzy was not at home.Seeing the darkness gradual
"It's nothing, I'm just tired." Suzy dodged his hand as he reached for her wrist. "Let's talk about it tomorrow."Alec, caught between the two, looked lost and unsure of what to say.Liam's dark eyes glanced at him as he said in a deep voice, "You should go back, Alec.""Alright."After he left, Suzy had already proceeded into the bedroom by herself.Liam stood at the entrance for a while before slowly walking over and gently pushing open the door.Suzy was already lying down on the bed with her clothes on and eyes closed—it was unclear if she was really asleep.Pausing for a moment, Liam was about to leave and have someone investigate what exactly had happened to Suzy at the hospital when suddenly, Suzy called out to him!"Liam, I’m exhausted.""...Then rest, I won't disturb you, I'll sleep in the guest room tonight."Suzy sat up in bed, her gaze serious as she looked at him, her lips moved a few times, but she couldn't quite say what she wanted.Liam walked back and sighed deeply. "O
Suzy looked utterly exhausted, the kind that suggested she couldn't bear to utter another word to him, not an act by any means.In fact, she really wasn't in the mood to talk.Her mother's funeral was set for three days later. With hardly any relatives or friends around, she didn't want Liam to know, so she planned to keep everything simple.After she spoke, the room fell into dead silence again.With a heavy heart, she looked up at Liam, this time without dodging his gaze, her eyes void of emotion. "Can you leave now?""Alright, I'll go. We'll talk more tomorrow.""What's there to talk about? Haven't I made myself clear, Liam? I used to believe that being with you would pave the way for success, but now I've come to see how difficult your family can be. I can't tolerate their condescending behavior anymore; I don't want to be with you. Do you get it?"Suzy knew if she merely said she was tired and wanted to break up, he wouldn't believe her, so she had to mix truth with lies."I'll fi
It was probably due to pregnancy that Suzy eventually drifted off without knowing when she fell asleep...When she opened her eyes again, it was almost noon!Quickly checking her phone, she found only one missed call from Wendy, with nothing else.Suzy knew that Jeffrey must have told Wendy not to call anymore, expecting Suzy to respond once she woke up, not wanting to disturb her rest.Given Wendy's personality, she wouldn't have thought of such things.Suzy didn't immediately reply to her, instead heading to the bathroom first to freshen up.Splashing her face with icy cold water, she tried to wake herself up a bit! After all, fooling Liam wasn't going to be easy, and who knew how many acts this charade would require before it could end?Looking at her tired and bruised face in the mirror, Suzy suddenly had the urge to join her mother!After all, in this world, she no longer had any family of her own, nor did she need to earn money desperately to pay medical bills...No one would be
“What did Suzy tell you?”Jeffrey was still unclear about the situation, so naturally, he couldn't speak rashly.But Liam's demeanor shocked him!It was evident that Suzy held a significant place in his heart because the dejection Liam displayed was not an act."She said she was tired of being with me."After Liam finished speaking, he instinctively reached for a cigarette. However, upon opening the pack, he realized he had already smoked the remaining half-pack while waiting for Jeffrey.Jeffrey took a deep breath and pretended to be composed. "So, coming to me is useless. The one who feels tired is her."Liam lifted his dark eyes to meet his gaze.Though weary, his inherent aura of authority was impossible to ignore. Standing opposite Jeffrey in silence, his noble and aloof demeanor completely overwhelmed Jeffrey.A gentle breeze lightly fluttered Liam's hair.After a long silence, he finally said, "I want you to go abroad, to leave here, to make sure she has no other option. Jeffrey
Both men looked over to see her running towards them. Suzy forcefully pushed Liam away to shield Jeffrey."What are you trying to do to Jeffrey?!" Liam hadn't expected her to be so emotional. At that moment, Suzy seemed like she was facing an enemy, her whole body braced for defense.That wary and distant look in her eyes deeply wounded him."Jeffrey, are you alright?"Just catching his breath, Jeffrey couldn't speak right away. Instead, he waved his hand to signal that he was okay.Once she confirmed he was not seriously hurt, Suzy turned back to Liam, her voice cold as she scolded him."Is this all you Park family people know how to do? Do you think that because you're the CEO of Park Group, you can trample anyone around you, treating us like we're worthless, mere ants at your mercy, to manipulate and decide our fates at will?"Her words were forceful and unyielding.Earlier, Suzy had called Alec, intending to discuss her resignation, and unexpectedly learned that Liam was not at t
If the previous words were like knives stabbing into Liam's heart, then the term "backup" was like a bullet, striking directly at his heart.The pain was so intense that Liam almost couldn't breathe, instinctively clutching at his chest.His handsome face was even paler and more powerless than before.Jeffrey never thought he'd see someone as powerful as Liam being brought down like this.And by the woman he loved the most.Liam could no longer face Suzy for another second, fearing she might utter more heartless words. So, he stepped back and hastily turned to get into his car and leave.With a slam on the accelerator, the car shot out wildly!Jeffrey's heart pounded heavily as he watched. "His emotions seem unstable. I’m afraid he might get into an accident while driving.”"I'll have Alec contact him." There was no way Suzy wasn’t worried about Liam’s safety. However, she knew not everything could happen just because she wanted it to, and sometimes dreams must end when reality sets i
