0825.He didn’t want to see those numbers anymore or be reminded of her.If he was going to start over, he needed to let go of the past completely.Even if he met Suzy again, he had to remain resolute....After finishing the necessary work for the company and grabbing a quick bite to eat, Suzy drove back to her temporary hotel. As soon as she arrived, she received a call from Peter."I'll have that designer contact you.""Have her come to my hotel," Suzy paused, "You didn't reprimand her, right?""No, as you instructed, I didn’t let her suspect anything. I had another employee who’s close to her find out about the situation.""Good."Peter laughed. "If you can resolve this holdout issue, you’ll really be doing me a huge favor! It's been a major headache for me.""No need to thank me. I'm just doing my job. If the resort project doesn’t succeed, I won't get my bonus either."After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Suzy hung up. Not long after, the hotel doorbell rang.Suzy walked ove
Intimidating a newbie like this was easy."Call that holdout tenant right now and tell him we've changed the design plans, so it doesn't matter whether he moves or not," Suzy instructed, glancing at Emma's phone and indicating she should make the call in front of her.Though Emma was already quite frightened, Suzy needed to ensure everything went smoothly to avoid any complications.Emma hesitated, looking distressed. "He's very aggressive. He'll definitely yell at me!""Well, you can choose between the company suing you for damages or him yelling at you," Suzy said with a shrug, spreading her hands. This wasn’t a negotiation."Isn't there another way? If I were to say that, he'd think I'm playing him! He'll definitely retaliate against me later.""You're an adult. You need to take responsibility for your actions, right?" Suzy said, standing up and opening the hotel door. "Since you’re unwilling to cooperate and are trying to bargain, we’ll forget it. The company will proceed as usual,
Investors?"Is it someone from Weston or Park Group?""I'm not sure! It should be Weston. Park Group already inspected the project, right?"Good. Actually, Suzy was feeling a bit paranoid. Since Alec had already visited the project, Liam probably wouldn’t come again.Besides, he was busy preparing for his wedding abroad, so how could he show up here?"Alright, I'll head over now."...The news about the holdout tenant being resolved quickly reached Park Group’s headquarters.Alec had been closely monitoring the project, not because it was particularly large, but because the Windsting City project was the first to surpass two billion since the acquisition of Weston Investment. It was crucial to prove the project’s profitability and Weston’s capabilities.After some thought, Alec sent a message to Liam.“Mr. Park, the Windsting City resort project is back on track. Their project director resolved the issue, and construction is expected to start next week.”Shortly after, Liam replied, “
When Suzy arrived at the site, Peter was on the phone with the company higher-ups. He gestured for her to wait upon seeing her.She nodded slightly and glanced over at the holdout tenant.Previously, he had been stubborn, holding his head high, but now he was cooperative, speaking amicably with the project manager."Suzy," Peter called out after finishing his call, his face beaming. "I have to hand it to you! You solved this problem so quickly.""I just figured there must be some vested interests involved," Suzy said, raising an eyebrow and smiling. "But don’t celebrate too soon. There could still be trouble ahead.""He agreed to the demolition and signed the papers. What trouble?""True, but... we didn’t actually change the design plans."The holdout tenant would likely keep an eye on the final resort project. When he realized he had been tricked, he would almost certainly cause a fuss with the company. He might even create a scene when the resort opens."If he were to try anything, I
"Hello, Miss Chase! I’m Leah Clark, the manager in charge of this project for Weston Investment." Leah smiled warmly and extended her hand.Suzy quickly stepped forward and shook her hand. "Hello, hello. Nice to meet you, I’m Suzy Chase.""It’s your first time meeting me, but it’s not my first time seeing you.""Oh?"Leah’s lips curved into a smile. She stepped closer and lowered her voice."I used to work at Park Group’s headquarters.""..."Noticing Suzy's tension, Leah laughed and clarified, "I don’t mean anything by it. I just remember seeing you at headquarters. You left quite an impression because you’re so beautiful!""I was just a mere employee at Park Group.""But Park Group doesn’t hire just anyone." Leah seemed to have more to say but stopped there.Suzy wasn’t sure how much Leah knew.Fortunately, during her time at Park Group, aside from the issue with Sophia, not many people knew about her marriage to Liam.She had never seen or heard of Leah at Park Group, indicating Lea
"Alright, alright, you’re right." Wendy sighed. "Honestly, when you two first separated, I thought you’d regret it, especially when you were about to go into the delivery room. I really thought you’d contact him."If it had been her, she would have reached out to the most important person in her life during such a critical time.When Suzy was in labor and experiencing complications, the doctors handed Wendy a critical condition notice to sign. Wendy was so terrified that she cried hysterically outside the delivery room.It was probably the hardest thing Wendy had ever signed."I had already made up my mind. I wanted the truth, and if that meant giving him up, I couldn’t regret it."It wouldn’t be fair to Liam."So...what are you planning to do about 'him'? You can’t keep him abroad forever."Realizing who Wendy was referring to, a look of worry crossed Suzy’s face. She frowned deeply before sighing softly."Wendy, I did this because—"Wendy interrupted, "I know why you did it, but this
"Alright, Mr. Park."The driver drove straight to the Dreamland Hotel.After the car stopped, Liam slowly opened his eyes and got out of the car.He glanced at the hotel in front of him. The decoration at the entrance looked decent, but the small entrance meant it wasn't a high-end hotel."Mr. Park, do you need me to carry your luggage up?" The driver looked at the suitcase. It wasn't big, probably just a few clothes."No need." Liam grabbed the suitcase himself and started to walk forward.Suddenly, a little girl at the hotel entrance shouted, "Mommy!"Liam usually didn’t give much attention to children. He didn't dislike them, but he didn't particularly like them either. However, today, he was attracted by this childish voice.He looked over to see a little girl who seemed to be about two or three years old. She had a small ponytail on top of her head that bobbed cutely with her movements.The girl had her back to him, and he could only vaguely see her side face, which looked like a
After Alec finished speaking, he quickly added, "Mr. Park, Windsting City isn't very bustling. Aside from the night market, there's hardly any nightlife. If you want to go out during the day, I can recommend a few good restaurants."Liam set down his wine glass and glanced at his watch."Send me the address of the night market.""Are you going?"Alec was a bit surprised. Since Liam had OCD, he always avoided crowded places and never ate street food from night markets. The sudden interest in visiting a night market was quite unexpected."Yes, perhaps after the resort development project, we could consider building a hotel here."Liam thought the scenery here was nice, and the air was fresh—a perfect place to find some peace and quiet. Surely, others would also want a place to calm their minds."Do you need me to join you for the inspection?""No need, just have the driver wait for me downstairs at the hotel.""Understood, Mr. Park."After hanging up, Liam changed out of his usual suit a
