After pouring Suzy a drink, Gavin secretly messaged Michael. Michael quickly replied, instructing him to "take care of” Suzy first, ensuring she wouldn't resist too much, as he didn't like that.

As time passed, and they finished their steaks, Suzy still hadn't returned.

Michael sensed something was wrong.

He gave Gavin a look. "Go check on her. Maybe she's too drunk."

"Okay," Gavin said, standing up and heading toward the restroom.

But there was no sign of Suzy, not even a shadow.

He immediately had a bad feeling. But he reasoned that Suzy would at least have said something if she were leaving. She wouldn't just disappear unless she was too drunk and someone had taken her away.

Gavin quickly took out his phone and called Suzy, but there was no answer.

Thinking fast, he called Ryan's number. "Hello? Mr. Paynes?"

"Yes, this is Ryan Paynes. What's going on?"

"I'm the manager from Zenway. We were just having dinner with Miss Chase. She was enjoying herself, had a few drinks, and went to th

    "Sir, should we call the police?""Not yet. Let me look around some more." Gavin didn't want to escalate the situation, thinking that Suzy was likely taken by her colleagues.It would have been a good thing if that was the case.This way, there would be no evidence of any tampering by him or Michael.Gavin returned to the table, picked up the bottle of wine, and left the restaurant. He then drove to a secluded spot, poured the wine into a trash can, and smashed the bottle before discarding it.After everything was taken care of, he sent a text message to Suzy.“[Miss Chase, did you get drunk? I couldn't find you when I went to look for you. I was thinking of finding a female colleague to take you back to the hotel. Did you already go back? If so, I won't disturb your rest. Let's talk tomorrow.”...Suzy felt like the world was spinning and soon found herself in a car.The discomfort in her stomach grew unbearable, and she couldn't hold it back any longer, so she... threw up.Liam looke

    Liam's voice turned husky as he gripped her wrist tightly."Suzy, don't do something you'll regret."But Suzy, overwhelmed by the effects of the drug and the alcohol, couldn't hear him. Her eyes were unfocused, and her hands were wandering aimlessly.Liam felt like his sanity was hanging by a thread."Suzy, get a grip!""Don't you want me? I'm feeling so hot... so uncomfortable..."Liam's temples throbbed as he tried to pull her hand away.But the more he resisted, the tighter she held on.The pain made him wince, but he gritted his teeth.He didn't want anything to happen between them in this state. She was drunk, but he was not."Suzy, let go of me," Liam managed to say through clenched teeth."No!" Suzy even laughed, "You're hotter than me...""Suzy Chase!""It's so hard."Liam could almost hear his self-control snapping."You'll regret this when you sober up.""I won't—"He suddenly reversed the situation, capturing her lips in a fierce kiss, taking control.Liam still felt like he

    Ryan deeply regretted sending Suzy to handle this project.He knew how men in the business world behaved, especially when a woman as attractive as Suzy was involved. They practically couldn't take their eyes off her."If they dared to do anything to Miss Chase, I won't let Zenway get away with it!" After hanging up, Ryan immediately headed to Zenway's office.He didn't give them any notice, wanting to catch them off guard. Ryan was so furious that he wanted to shut Zenway down, though he lacked the power to do so.Ryan furrowed his thick brows.At that moment, he realized the gap between him and Liam.If it were Liam, shutting down Zenway would be as simple as saying the word....Meanwhile, the search for Suzy was in full swing outside.Unbeknownst to them, she had slept until nearly noon in a hotel room.As soon as she regained consciousness, a hangover headache and physical soreness hit her simultaneously, making her temples throb."Ugh—"She tried to prop herself up with her tremb

    In just a few seconds, the call connected."Hello? You're awake.""Yes... I am. Was it you who picked me up from the restaurant last night? Thank you so much." Suzy refrained from directly asking who had changed her clothes, recognizing his kindness in rescuing her."No need to thank me.""Did you come alone to pick me up?" Suzy asked cautiously. "I mean, I was pretty drunk. It's impressive you managed on your own."The driver quickly clarified, "It was my female friend who changed your clothes.""Oh! That's good... I mean..." "It's fine, you don't need to thank me. You've helped me a lot too." He did indeed have a female friend change her clothes.After their intense night, Liam regretted it—not because of the act itself but because she was married. He always claimed to have a moral code, yet he had become involved with a married woman.The moral conflict was too much for him to bear.So, after making sure Suzy was settled, he left the hotel.Having received her answers, Suzy ended t

    "Yes, Mr. Hanson."Ryan squinted at him, feeling that things were not as simple as he said.Normally, if Suzy had really left midway, she would have mentioned it! And if Michael saw that Suzy hadn't returned, how could he have just left first? Wouldn't he have gone to look for her immediately?Unless he did something wrong and was worried about being exposed.After Michael gave his instructions, he turned around and saw Ryan's inquisitive gaze.His eyes quickly shifted, feeling somewhat guilty."When Miss Chase returns, I need to take her to the hospital to get her blood tested to see what kind of wine Mr. Hanson really gave her."Blood test?Michael panicked."Is it necessary? Why test her blood? I just brought her some good wine to taste, nothing else.""Who knows if there was something else in your wine that shouldn't be there." Ryan sneered. "We both know the tricks in the business world! I sent Miss Chase because I trusted you, thinking you had no prior incidents. But you got my p

    Liam, who couldn't bear to lay a finger on Suzy, thought Zenway had real nerve!"Understood," Alec replied, knowing these kinds of tasks were his specialty.There was no choice; after all, he had a strong backing.Moreover, bringing down Zenway didn't require much effort. After a few projects were canceled, the company would collapse on its own! But since the boss ordered it to disappear immediately, he must have been truly provoked.Alec speculated that it was most likely related to Suzy.No one else could drive Liam crazy."Are you in Windsting City?""Yes.""Bring the driver we found last time to West City," Liam ordered, anticipating that Suzy might insist on thanking him in person, and he needed to be prepared."Got it, I understand!"After hanging up, Liam took off his suit jacket and unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his well-built shoulders.There were bite marks of varying depths all over, some still bleeding slightly.The touch of his clothes made them throb faintly, but Liam d

    Liam didn't answer.But Clive already had his answer. "I knew it! You two are really something! Liam, take my advice, just give up on Suzy."Liam remained silent for nearly a minute. Just when Clive thought he was seriously considering his words, Liam suddenly spoke, "Send me Ryan's details.""...You're hopeless."Liam had accepted that long ago.He was indeed hopeless.All the talk about giving up on Suzy, never thinking about her again, and starting a new life—that was all self-deception!The reality was, as long as she beckoned, he would rush to her side, like a moth to a flame, devoid of reason, unable to think it through....When Suzy called Ryan, she was on her way back to her hotel.As soon as he picked up, his voice nearly shattered her eardrum."Where are you? Are you okay? Who are you with?"She sighed. "Ask one at a time, don't be so nervous. I'm fine. I just got drunk last night, and luckily a friend of mine was around. He took me to a room to rest.""Friend? Man or woman?

    "Okay."After watching them leave, Suzy finally took out her key card and opened her room door.Ryan followed her inside, scrutinizing her from head to toe as if trying to see right through her."So, you just got drunk and spent the night at another hotel?"Suzy frowned, pouring herself a glass of warm water to ease her stomach discomfort. "What else could it be?""They didn't do anything else?""I don't think so, just drinking." Suzy didn't remember anything; she had completely blacked out.So, from her perspective, it was simply her poor alcohol tolerance. She was worried that not accompanying the Zenway executives properly might jeopardize the collaboration."Suzy, they probably spiked your drink," Ryan revealed.He wanted to know how Suzy's drug effects had been neutralized."...Spiked?""Yes! If you don't believe me, we can go for a blood test now. It should still show up."Suzy felt her mind go blank. She tried to remember but couldn't recall anything.But she was sure Zenway's p

    This statement could easily be misunderstood.Noticing the sudden defensiveness in Suzy's eyes, Liam softened his tone, abandoning his aggressive stance and returning to his usual gentlemanly warmth."It's just a dinner.""And then you'll let me see B7?""Yes."Suzy had no other options.She crossed the street to Jeffrey's car and tapped on the window.Before she could speak, Jeffrey anxiously said, "Suzy, I can't reach B7 anymore!""Liam took him.""...Then I'll go confront Liam!"Suzy quickly stopped him. "He's been acting strangely today. Don't provoke him! Confronting Liam head-on isn't wise. You should go home. I'll handle him.""You want me to leave you alone with Liam? He just—""Jeff, I'm so close to the truth! I can't afford any setbacks.""But if Liam finds out why you're meeting B7, he'll definitely intercept the evidence! Do you really think he'll choose you over his parents?"Of course not.Even Suzy understood that Liam would likely protect his parents.As their son, it w

    Suzy remembered the last time she heard him say those words was when Melissa insisted she bring a boyfriend to the hospital.His tone then was just like now—gentle, heartfelt, as if he wanted to drown her in his affection…Unfortunately, the first time, she didn't trust his love.And this second time… she couldn't believe he would turn against his own family."Liam, you won't want to know the truth.""I do." Liam gently cradled her face, his eyes firm and unwavering. "Suzy, tell me."He didn't want Suzy to push him away whenever something happened. He didn't want to be left to investigate everything on his own. He wanted to be her support, to hear her out, whether it was bitterness, grievances, or anger, and then face it together.Countless possibilities flashed through Suzy's mind, and finally, as if waking from a dream, she pushed Liam forcefully."The truth is, I hate you, and I hate everyone in your family. I want you to stay away from me! I've fallen in love with Jeffrey and—"Her

    Suzy couldn’t bring herself to continue. After tasting the blood, she stopped biting and merely struggled, unable to bear hurting him again.It wasn't until Jeffrey came over and punched Liam on the shoulder that he finally stepped back from Suzy. Liam staggered a few steps, just barely managing to regain his balance as Jeffrey, consumed by anger, readied himself to strike again.Seeing this, Suzy quickly intervened to stop Jeffrey."Jeff, don't! Don't fight!"He halted his fist just in time, looking at Suzy.Her lips were visibly red and slightly bloody, showing how intense Liam's kiss had been.It was clear this was a deliberate display."Suzy, he bullied you!""No, he didn't! Jeff, go back to the car. I'll come to you in a moment!"Suzy couldn't let them actually start fighting because Jeffrey was no match for Liam.Whether in strength or background..."Suzy!"Jeffrey, feeling infuriated, looked up at Liam standing a short distance from Suzy.Liam wiped the blood from his lips with

    Previously, Liam hadn't continued investigating the death of Suzy's mother because he believed Suzy and Jeffrey were happily together. As an outsider, he thought intervening would only make Suzy resent him more.At that time, he truly wanted to let go of Suzy, start over, and completely say goodbye to the past.Based on these reasons, Liam didn't pursue the matter.But clearly, he was wrong—terribly wrong!He had taken 99 steps toward Suzy, only to halt just shy of the hundredth!...Unaware of all this, Suzy was busy organizing her materials, eagerly anticipating her meeting with Jeffrey to see B7 after work.Having finally managed to contact this elusive network hacker, she couldn't afford to miss the opportunity.Even if Liam canceled her entire month's salary, she had to go tonight.It had taken her four years of earning and saving money and seeking contacts to reach B7.She needed the restored surveillance footage to uncover the truth about her mother's death. She knew she had onl

    Liam's voice carried a hint of helplessness, starkly contrasting his usual demeanor.Seeing him like this, Arthur felt a pang of discomfort. After some thought, he tentatively reached out and grasped a few of Liam's fingers.Liam's eyes shot up to meet his.What did this gesture mean?Arthur was acknowledging what Liam had just said!He was confirming Liam's suspicions.When Liam spoke again, his throat felt tight, and his voice trembled. "She... she's really your mother, isn't she?"Arthur instinctively wanted to play dumb, but he knew that his acting skills couldn't fool Liam. Moreover, the sadness and disappointment in Liam's eyes seemed genuine.After a few seconds of contemplation, Arthur decided to stop resisting. "You mustn't tell her I told you."Liam's entire body stiffened. Despite all his suspicions, hearing the truth confirmed left him shocked and speechless.Suzy... she had given him a child...No!Not just one!"You have a sister too, and she's my child as well?"Arthur

    Liam furrowed his brows and turned to face her directly, their gazes locking."I am not lying to you."His eyes were so intense, so sincere as if they were trying to draw Suzy in completely!She began to regret bringing up this conversation with Liam, realizing she was now in a situation she couldn't easily escape.Suzy cleared her throat, feigning calmness, and averted her gaze. "Mr. Park, let's talk about work.""Alright, let's talk about work," Liam agreed readily. "You're working overtime today.""Liam—"Suzy was so angry she was grinding her teeth. "What exactly do you want? You said you hated me when we divorced. What, has the high and mighty Mr. Park decided to go back on his word and, after being dumped once, still intends to shamelessly pursue me?"Her words must have stung, as Liam's handsome face paled, and a hint of rationality returned to his eyes.He had been thrown off balance by Jeffrey's phone call.Hearing Suzy so affectionately tell Jeffrey to pick her up after work

    Seeing Arthur like this, Suzy knew she had to play along. "Mr. Park, I'll wait outside then. Let's not upset the child."She expected some reaction from Liam, but he merely nodded. "Alright."Suzy turned and left Easter Bay, feeling increasingly uneasy about Liam's attitude, though she couldn't pinpoint exactly why.If he brought her to see Arthur to test her, why hadn't he done anything suspicious? He had gone straight to the kitchen to cook upon arriving home!What hidden trap could she have missed?With a restless heart, Suzy waited in the car for a while before seeing Liam come out of the house carrying a paper bag.Once in the car, he handed the bag to Suzy."I packed this for you.""No need, skipping one meal won't hurt me. I'll eat after work."Liam glanced at her, his thin lips moving slightly. "You'll be working late tonight, I’ll triple your pay."Hearing about overtime, Suzy quickly protested, "I can't tonight, I have plans!"Jeffrey had finally helped her arrange a meeting

    "...I-I don't know what you're talking about!"Liam leaned down, his handsome face getting close to hers. "Then what do you mean by ‘leave bite marks’?"Suzy immediately averted her gaze, pretending to be calm. "Are you saying that you and your wife are in a sexless marriage? We're both adults; do I really need to spell it out?""Heh." Liam suddenly laughed. "You're blushing."Suzy was at a loss for words.She looked at the man in front of her as if she didn't recognize him anymore!When did Liam become so shameless?"Since you're already out of the car, come in and have something to eat."After saying that, Liam didn't give her a chance to refuse and walked away.Suzy stood there for a few seconds, took a deep breath, and then followed him.She could only hope that Arthur wouldn’t give anything away when he saw her......As soon as the door opened, she saw Arthur lounging on the sofa, playing with his computer.He knew his "lunch" had arrived as soon as he heard the noise!

    She realized Liam had a calculated plan for bringing her back to Park Group. On day one, he was already rushing to take her to see Arthur to test her!Recognizing this, Suzy reminded herself to be cautious around this man; who knew where the traps might be?She hoped that when she saw Arthur, she wouldn't give anything away!And... she also wanted to see her son, at least to know how he was doing!"You don't seem surprised that I have a son," Liam suddenly said.Suzy quickly snapped back to reality, shrugged, and acted indifferent. "Should I be surprised? We've been divorced for over four years. You're a normal man. Getting remarried and having children is normal, right?""I announced my marriage this year.""Oh, congratulations!"She had no desire to continue this conversation.Nor did she want to discuss Liam's new wife! That would remind her of the bite marks on his shoulder!"I thought you might be curious."Suzy forced a professional smile. "Mr. Park, we're here for work! This isn
