"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
"When the project in Windsting City is finished, I'll submit my resignation.""No need, I have companies abroad too!"Initially, Ryan didn't want Suzy to leave the country, but now he fully supported it! The farther she stayed from Liam, the better! This way, Liam wouldn't meddle in everything."After going abroad, I haven't made any specific plans. Whether I'll continue in this profession is still undecided."Ryan glanced at her. "You can't stay unemployed forever.""That's true," but she wanted to spend time with her children first.She still had the chance to spend time with them. They were young and wouldn’t be greatly impacted by their mother's absence. If she waited until they were older, it would be too late to make up for lost time."If you want a job, just let me know! Suzy, you haven't had any unpleasant experiences working at DollarMax, right?""Not at all!" That was the truth.During her time at DollarMax, she worked hard to achieve her current position, but her superiors w
The driver followed her into the private room she had reserved, which featured high-end seafood dishes.Since she was there to thank him, she couldn't be stingy."Wow, this is so lavish! I've never had anything like this!" The driver exclaimed, his eyes widening at the sight of the extravagant dishes."Please, help yourself," Suzy said, pushing the dishes toward him with a smile. "We met under rushed circumstances, and I didn't get to ask your name. I didn't expect you to be so helpful and come to my rescue."The driver was momentarily stunned, then waved his hand dismissively. "It was nothing! I happened to be in West City with a female classmate who could find where you were, so we went over, thinking you might need some help. I felt bad about the car accident earlier.""Oh, I didn't expect you to come! I was really drunk that night." Hearing the driver's straightforward explanation, Suzy felt she didn't need to ask any more questions."You should be more careful when you're out at n
