"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

    This was all part of Liam's meticulous planning!Ryan finished his cigarette, dropped it to the ground, and crushed it under his shoe before striding toward the Bentley."Knock knock—"He rapped on the window.The glass lowered to reveal a well-dressed man, clearly a secretary."Hello, sir. How can I help you?"Ryan seized the chance to peer into the back seat, but the partition prevented him from seeing anything. Still, he was certain someone was back there."Could I borrow a light? For a cigarette," Ryan asked, holding up his pack as a gesture."Sorry, I don't smoke," Alec replied with a polite smile, ready to roll up the window.But Ryan quickly shifted the conversation. "Is there someone important in the car? May I know who it is? I'm in the business world myself—owner of DollarMax. Would it be possible to make an acquaintance?"DollarMax?Wasn't that Suzy's company?Alec instinctively glanced at the rearview mirror, seeing no reaction from the back seat. He then said, "My boss is

    "You understand?""Yes, I do! You see, which woman doesn't want to be carefully looked after? Even if she's meeting friends, I'm willing to wait downstairs for her. Can you do that, Mr. Park?"In Ryan's eyes, Liam, being extremely busy, couldn't possibly have time to accompany Suzy for everything. He believed that part of their separation must have been due to Liam not being able to be there for Suzy all the time.What he didn't know was that Liam used to put aside all his company matters and cancel morning meetings just to make breakfast for Suzy. Even now, he had rescheduled all his meetings online just to be in West City."She won't accept you," Liam said, seeing through Ryan as just another pursuer, much like himself, except Ryan could pursue her openly, while he had to do so secretly."We'll see about that," Ryan said confidently, waving as he walked away. "See you around."As Ryan turned and left, Alec got out of the car."Mr. Park, should we take action against DollarMax?""No n

    He wanted to know who the "runaway" person was that worried Suzy so much. He felt compelled to help her, even if she might not need his assistance....Suzy received a call from Jeffrey.He said that Arthur had run away from home, leaving behind only a note saying he was going back to the country to find his mom!Ryan didn't know what had happened to her, and when asked, she wouldn't say.Naturally, Suzy wouldn't reveal more of her own secrets to anyone. Ryan already knew about her daughter and Liam's relationship; she couldn't let him know about her son too!The only people who knew about her other child were Wendy and Jeffrey.When she arrived at the hotel, Suzy quickly packed her luggage and headed to the airport.She had to go back to discuss a strategy with Wendy. If that didn't work, she would immediately go abroad to find her son."What are you doing?"As soon as she stepped out, she saw Ryan still standing at the corner of the doorway."Ryan, I need to go home for a bit.""Did

    "Impossible, he always finishes his homework quickly, and the teachers at school never force them to complete their assignments! Arthur is smart and sharp; the things they teach at school are too easy for him."Suzy felt her temples throbbing.If it weren't for the fact that Arthur hadn't been found and she needed to stay strong, she might have collapsed from exhaustion the moment she received Jeffrey's call. She could barely stand now."Jeff, I have to rely on you over there... please make sure to find him!""I will do everything I can! To me, Arthur is like my own son."Suzy knew he was certainly trying his best, but... Arthur always had his own ideas. Maybe he inherited too much of someone's genes; he did things beyond what kids his age usually did.Just after she hung up with Jeffrey, Wendy called."Did you find him? Jeff’s phone is still engaged; it's driving me crazy!""He was just talking to me." Suzy anxiously watched the boarding time. "Arthur hasn't been found yet. I'm flying

    He believed a child couldn’t run far. Alec nodded. "Alright."…Park Group, Legal Department.Sophia hadn't seen Liam for two days. Since Liam was a workaholic, it was strange he wasn't in the office, especially since he had no upcoming trips. What could he be doing?The more Sophia thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She feared Liam might be seeing another woman.But no matter how many times she called him, he wouldn’t answer!In the end, she had to find Clive.Because, at the moment, he was her quickest way to get information about Liam.After two attempts, he finally answered the phone."Miss Burns, can you give me a break? Do you have nothing to do in the Legal Department? I've got a ton of work here!"Clive's attitude towards her was becoming increasingly impatient."I just want to know where Liam is.

    Everyone subconsciously believed that Sophia, as the General Counsel of the Park Group and one of its key contributors, could never target a mere employee.But what they didn’t know was that Suzy wasn’t just an employee; she was the person Liam cherished most.Sophia would even prefer to be a mere employee just to hold that special place in Liam’s heart!"I didn’t do it.""Say whatever you want, but the fact remains that Liam and Suzy will never be together again."Seeing his good friend unable to have the love he desired, Clive felt uneasy.Before, he didn’t know how deeply Liam loved Suzy, thinking it was just a casual fling.When he pursued girls himself, he employed sweet words and tender care, but he never envisioned it lasting long-term.But Liam’s love for Suzy could truly be described as unwavering."They’ll never be together again?""Of course not! After leaving Liam, Suzy got married and even had a child. How could they possibly get back together?" In Clive's eyes, Suzy had b

    Jeffrey and Wendy had truly become Angela and Arthur's real parents! They were even more competent than Suzy in fulfilling the role of parents. If anything were to happen to the children, Suzy couldn’t blame anyone but herself. She hadn't given them enough attention or spent enough time with them. That was why Arthur suddenly ran away from home."Suzy, don't worry. I'll find Arthur even if it costs me my life!"Suzy had no doubt that Jeffrey could do it.Right now, she was overwhelmed with guilt.After hanging up the phone, Suzy didn't turn off her cell phone. Even when the plane took off and the phone lost signal, she looked at it one last time, still without any news about Arthur.She could only hope for good news once she landed!"Hello, Miss Chase. You've been upgraded to our airline's first-class service. Please proceed to the first-class cabin at your convenience."Suddenly, a flight attendant in uniform approached Suzy and leaned over to speak."...I didn't enter any lottery."

    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.

    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
