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
"Mr. Watts, give him a chance for my sake."Suzy saw that the act was almost over and it was time to wrap things up. She stepped in to stop it, giving the troublemaker a look to signal him to leave quickly.Once he hurried away, Peter's face quickly shifted from anger to a wide smile."Miss Chase, I really admire you!""There's nothing to admire. People like him aren't very cunning; they just want more money. A bit of intimidation settles things." Suzy glanced at the time. "Mr. Watts, I have to go. Someone is waiting for me."Peter saw her urgency and smiled. "Is... your husband here in Windsting City?""...Yes." Suzy nodded. "He won't be here for long, so I have to go.""Alright! Go ahead. When you have time, bring your husband, and we can have a meal together."Suzy smiled and nodded, then hurriedly left.She always claimed to have a husband. Firstly, it was because she already had a child, and if she said the child had no father, people would start wondering who the father was. If t
Her eyes reminded him of Suzy.Liam thought about this and bitterly smiled to himself.He came to Windsting City to forget Suzy and start fresh, but now he was seeing her face in every child he encountered.His mother had said he was obsessed, and now he finally admitted it.When he looked back, the little girl was gone. He glanced around but didn't see her."I must be going crazy," he muttered.He couldn't believe he was distracted by a little girl."Mr. Park, what did you say?""Nothing, let's go back to the hotel." Liam decided it was better to rest. Staying out only made him see her in everyone.The driver, though puzzled, nodded. He knew better than to question his boss' decision."Alright, Mr. Park."Liam turned and walked against the crowd.The driver continued to diligently introduce the features of Windsting City. "Tomorrow, you can hike up the mountain in the morning when it's cooler. The view from the top is great! In the afternoon, I'll take you to a popular restaurant for
Seeing him ask for her phone number, Suzy took a business card from her car and handed it to him."This is my number."After saying that, she glanced at the other car.There seemed to be a figure in the back seat, probably a man, but he never got out, and Suzy didn't see his face.The driver took the card with both hands and immediately added her on WhatsApp, and transferred ten thousand dollars on the spot."I'm really sorry, Miss Chase. When you get your car fixed, if it costs more, let me know!"Seeing how sincere and honest he seemed, Suzy said, "It probably won't cost that much. I'll provide a receipt and refund the remainder."She wasn't the type to take advantage of others."Alright."After resolving the situation, Suzy quickly drove her scratched car to the night market. Wendy had already messaged her several times, urging her to hurry up!Behind her, the driver watched Suzy leave before returning to the car."Mr. Park, this is the card she gave me and her WhatsApp contact."Th
