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
Suzy fell silent and felt as if she were still dreaming, hearing such words.Zenway, such a large company, collapsed just like that?!It was too absurd."Did you do this?"Ryan's body stiffened for a moment, then he nodded. "Yes, I did it. I wanted to make Zenway pay. They dared to harm you, how could I tolerate that?""That was unnecessary! You just needed to warn them! This second-stage processing of agricultural products is not only profitable for our company but also benefits farmers. It's such a good thing. Do you know how many farmers were waiting for us to sign the contract?"Farmers were becoming fewer because there wasn't much money to be made.If secondary processing could be done, it would surely spark a new trend and bring more income to farmers.Ryan pursed his lips, standing in front of her like a child who had done something wrong. "I only thought about how they bullied you. I didn't think it through."Mostly because… it wasn't him who completely crushed Zenway.But in f
Liam knew Suzy would suggest meeting the driver. If he refused now, she would definitely become more suspicious.To be honest, this was the first time in his life that he dared to act but was afraid to admit it.The main problem was that he didn't know how to explain it to Suzy. She had been drunk, drinking spiked wine, but he hadn't.He had been sober...Thinking about it, Liam pressed his temples hard.The pain was unbearable, constantly throbbing.The moral condemnation within him constantly tormented him! He wanted to go to Suzy and confess everything, but... he was afraid she would hate him.He didn't dare face Suzy.Alec brought the driver to the West City airport, and when he saw the CEO's car parked at the entrance, he was genuinely startled!A mere secretary, having the boss personally come to pick up?After getting in the car, Alec quickly said to Liam in the driver's seat, "Mr. Park, let me drive."Liam glanced at the driver in the back seat through the rearview mirror and n
Ryan left Suzy's room but didn't actually leave West City. Instead, he got another room in the same hotel.The more he thought about Zenway's situation, the more something felt off. After pondering for a while, he dialed Clive's number.The first call went unanswered.After a while, Clive called back."You called me?""Yeah, do you know about Zenway's collapse?"Clive paused. "Huh? Zenway in West City?""Yes, it went bankrupt overnight.""Wasn't that company quite big? I paid some attention to it before. The projects they were handling seemed decent. How could it collapse so suddenly...?"That was Ryan's question too."So, who do you think has the power to bring down such a big company overnight in this country?"Clive, no fool, quickly grasped Ryan's implication."Did Zenway mess with Suzy?""Yes, Mr. Hanson spiked her drink and tried to take advantage of her."Clive immediately understood."He couldn't have picked a worse target. I thought maybe it was an internal issue at Zenway tha
"Yeah, I know. Can you help me ask Liam why he came to West City? Is it because of Suzy?""Isn't that obvious?" Clive replied. "The Park Group doesn't have any recent projects in West City. Even if there were, none of the domestic projects are worth billions that would require the CEO to come personally. What else could it be for?""They're divorced, and Liam is going to get married, isn't he?" The news of Liam's marriage was well-known in the business world.Ryan had assumed that Liam had started a new life!After all, they divorced because there were issues between them. Now, Suzy claimed to be married with a child, and Liam had announced his marriage. Ryan couldn't fathom how there could still be entanglements between them.He couldn't believe that Liam was still coming to West City for Suzy!The most crucial point was that Liam knew about Suzy being forced to drink, which meant he either kept in touch with Suzy or had someone watching over her.If it was the latter, then... it woul
"I just admire her! She didn’t even care about Liam; what chance do I have?""True enough."After chatting with Clive for a bit, Ryan hung up the phone.He immediately contacted Peter, instructing him to tell Suzy that something urgent had come up in Windsting City, summoning her back immediately.With Liam also in West City, Ryan couldn't allow him to get close to Suzy.After putting down the phone, Ryan was about to lock the screen when his eyes fell on a phone number saved on his device.It was Sophia's number.He had previously stolen it from Clive's phone.But he didn't dial it.Now wasn't the time to take such drastic measures; he didn't want to escalate things....When Peter called, Suzy was still wrestling with the issue of the driver.She wanted to meet him as soon as possible to clarify what had happened and how the effects of the drug had been neutralized."Windsting City needs you. When can you come back?""There's not much going on here; maybe the day after tomorrow. Ryan
