Arthur thought for a moment before nodding. Although his mother had repeatedly warned him not to show his face in public, this lady had helped him a lot, so he didn’t know how he should turn her down.The lady took a photo with him, then looked at the picture and frowned slightly. “Hey? You look familiar! What are your parents' names? I might know them!”Arthur blinked and quickly made up two names. When traveling, he knew how to protect himself. The plane landed smoothly at Northorn City International Airport as darkness fell. Arthur had indeed come to Northorn City. He was here to find his bastard dad! As the passengers disembarked one after another, Arthur grabbed his backpack and prepared to leave. The lady who had helped him suddenly called out. “Ah! I know who you resemble! You look just like Liam Park!”He looked exactly the same!Arthur paused, tilting his head with an innocent expression. “Madam, who is this Liam Park?”“Liam Park, the CEO of Park Group, is a prominent
He discovered that Clive had called over a dozen times and sent several messages!Clive texted, “Where are you? Pick up the phone!”“Dude, your illegitimate son showed up at the office!”“Seriously, did you secretly have a son? Call me back and explain!”Illegitimate son?Liam frowned deeply, feeling a tinge of irritation.He never appreciated Clive's brainless jokes! He had only ever had sex with Suzy in his life, so it was impossible for him to have an illegitimate child.Just as he was about to exit the phone screen to check on some work matters, Clive's call came through again.Liam answered, his voice heavy, "I'm busy working. Don't joke about such things.""I'm not joking!" Clive's voice was loud enough to burst Liam's eardrums. "Your son really came to the office!""I don't have a son.""Impossible! That kid is definitely yours! Liam, you just haven't seen his face. If you had, you wouldn't be saying this!"Clive's tone was adamant.But to Liam, it sounded like Clive was just t
Alec could only nod when Liam decided to take his work outside."Alright then, Mr. Park, thank you!" They were supposed to discuss work, but once they sat down, neither seemed in the mood to talk business.What Alec really wanted to know was whether his boss planned to continue pursuing Suzy or return to Northorn City tomorrow. He wanted to book the tickets in advance.However, at this moment, Alec didn't ask directly, feeling that perhaps Liam himself hadn't decided yet. It was better to let him think it over first."Ahem... Mr. Park, about the project in Windsting City...""Do you think I'm being foolish?" Liam suddenly interrupted before Alec could find another topic.After a moment, Alec sighed."Mr. Park, the ones who are hurt the most are those who give their heart.”"So, she hasn't given her heart to me," he concluded.Alec found himself in a predicament, unsure whether to nod or shake his head.Liam tugged at his lips, poured himself a drink, and downed it in one go. "I feel l
Liam hesitated for only a few seconds before immediately dialing Clive's number.The phone rang several times before Clive picked up. The background noise was loud, with the clinking of glasses indicating he was out drinking."Where are you?""Having drinks! A friend from abroad is back, so we're catching up!"Liam frowned. "The child in the photo you sent me—did you Photoshop it?"Clive paused for a moment before raising his voice. "I wouldn't waste my time on that! I was working late at the office today when this kid showed up at Park Group. The security must have brought him to me because he looks so much like you.""Where is the child now?""Right next to me! The kid says he doesn't know his mom's name. He only knows that his dad looks like him. I couldn't just leave him outside."Clive had a prearranged meeting and had no choice but to bring the child along."You brought a child to a bar!""What else could I do?" Clive seemed to have stepped outside, and the noise quieted down.
"What did you say?" Alec hadn't caught his words."Nothing, get some rest."After hanging up, Liam's mind was a chaotic mess, making it impossible for him to sleep.He resolved to return to Northorn City as soon as possible the next day to determine if this was all just a coincidence or something more....Clive, obedient as ever, did exactly as Liam instructed and brought the child out.Glancing at the small figure walking beside him, he raised his hand and tapped the kid on the forehead. "Is Liam Park really your dad?"Arthur looked up, blinking his eyes. "I don't know. I just know I look a lot like him!""And what about your mom? What's her name?"Arthur thought for a moment, then shook his head. "I don't know.""...What about her last name?""I don't know that either."Clive had hoped to get some information from the kid, but he was drawing a blank."Well, you must know what your mom looks like, right?" He was genuinely curious, wondering who else, besides Suzy, could have gotten c
Clive couldn't help but marvel at how identical their faces were!Liam had the same expression when he furrowed his brows, looking just as stern and annoying."I knew he was a bastard dad!""You're right, he definitely is!" Clive scooped Arthur up and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "Come on, let's go eat something delicious. We'll forget about that bastard for now, and tomorrow, I'll help you kick him a couple of times when we meet him!"Arthur nodded vigorously. "Okay!"Clive took him to a restaurant. Not having experience with kids, he had no idea what they should eat, so he just ordered a bunch of expensive dishes.The food wasn't even fully served when Clive's phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, Clive really didn't want to answer.But he knew that Sophia wouldn't let it go.After a moment's hesitation, he picked up the call."Hello?""Where are you?" Sophia asked urgently."I'm out, having dinner.""I heard that a kid who looks a lot like Liam came to the office today?"Clive f
"Yes, you have been my friend for many years, and... I even liked you once, but now you scare me.""...What did you say?" Sophia was stunned."Nothing. I have to go, I'm busy."With that, he hung up the phone and ignored all her subsequent calls.Meanwhile, Arthur was calmly eating crab and looked up at him."Is that your girlfriend?""No, just someone who fantasizes about becoming your stepmother."...Suzy and Wendy were checking flights abroad when Jeffrey called."I found out that Arthur did return to the country!"Suzy felt her heart nearly stop. "Where did he land?""Northorn City," Jeffrey replied gravely, as he had his suspicions too.Suzy instantly understood."I'm going to Northorn City to find him!""I've also bought a ticket to return. I'll be boarding soon," Jeffrey said, hesitating before adding, "But... before anything stirs up at Liam's end, why don't you let Wendy go to Northorn City to find Arthur? If we can intercept him before Liam finds out, everything will be mana
"Oh, come on, I have an urgent matter!" Clive glanced at the still-sleeping Arthur. "Let me ask you, are you sure Suzy had a daughter and not a son?""...Yes, she had a daughter. I've seen her.""Are you sure? Could it be that the child was just really pretty, and you mistook her for a girl?"Ryan didn't understand why Clive was asking this, but he was certain Suzy had a daughter."Impossible. Do you think I'm stupid?""Oh... then I guess it really isn't."Clive just wanted to confirm.He figured if Suzy's child resembled Liam so much, Ryan would have mentioned it to him. Ryan knew about his close relationship with Liam and had met Liam before."What are you talking about?" Hearing Suzy's name snapped Ryan wide awake.He was worried that saying the wrong thing could tip off Liam or Clive about something."It's nothing. I just suddenly discovered that Liam might have an illegitimate child.""...What? How is that possible? Mr. Park is known for his integrity. There have never been any ru
