Suzy instinctively looked in the direction Jeffrey mentioned.Sure enough, Jeffrey stood not far away, holding his phone and smiling at her."Over here!"Seeing Jeffrey's figure, Suzy felt a mix of emotions she couldn't quite describe.To say she wasn't touched would be a lie, but this kind of feeling was more like that between family members, unrelated to romantic love.Many times, Suzy wondered if she had met Jeffrey first, through Wendy's introduction, she might have wholeheartedly built a life with him.But all of this was based on the premise that Liam never appeared.Suzy stood up and slowly walked toward him. "Jeff, why didn't you leave?""I couldn't rest easy with you alone in Northorn. So, I had a friend drive Wendy and the kids back first. Don't worry, my friend is an old classmate I've known for years. There won't be any problems, and he won't betray us."Suzy wasn't really worried about that, but still..."You've been waiting here all this time?""I stayed to keep you compa
Moreover, unlike other suitors who made grand gestures to attract attention, often leaving her feeling embarrassed and speechless, he prioritized her feelings and acted accordingly.His love was gentle and pervasive, influencing everything quietly and profoundly.Suzy thought that many girls might never experience such pure love in their entire lives.And she, someone who had lived through so much hardship, had once possessed it completely.Standing outside Easter Bay once again, Suzy looked up at the lit living room.He must be working, right?At this hour, as the CEO, he likely had many international meetings to attend.Many people saw Liam as god’s favored child, born into privilege. But those who knew him understood the immense effort he put into everything.He wanted to handle every aspect of the company personally, never shirking his responsibilities just because he was the CEO.This dedication was a key reason for the Park Group's strong standing in the business world. It wasn't
Alec just stared at her, seemingly trying to gauge the truth in her words.But…The fact that she came here today showed that she still had feelings for Liam.And from their previous interactions, Alec believed she wasn’t a heartless person."Are you saying that Mr. Park's mother has...""Alec, without evidence, I can’t say anything more, and you don’t need to ask! Once I leave Northorn City tomorrow morning, I’ll be leaving the country and won’t return. You don’t have to worry about me bothering him again. Whether you believe it or not, I genuinely hope he finds happiness."Given how seriously Liam treated love, he deserved a complete and fulfilling relationship. He deserved happiness.With that, Suzy turned to leave.Alec watched her retreating figure, then suddenly called out."Miss Chase!"Suzy paused and turned around. "What is it?"Alec quickly walked over to her. "Mr. Park got drunk today. I’ve been taking care of him.""He was drinking?""Yes, I’ve never seen him this drunk bef
Seeing those bite marks, Suzy felt jealousy and envy for the first time in her life.As someone who had experienced love, she knew exactly what they signified.And it must have been intense.Suzy felt as if her heart had been ripped open, with wind howling through the wound, leaving her unsure how to react.As her rationality gradually returned, she pulled her hand back as if shocked and quickly moved away from Liam's bed.How could she have forgotten...He was a married man now! It was natural for him to sleep with his wife.Even if he hadn't let go of her, could she cross that boundary?What was she doing now? Breaking into someone else's home and touching their husband!Suzy turned to leave hurriedly, but suddenly heard Liam move and murmur softly."Suzy..."He was calling her name.But she couldn't stay any longer. She rushed out of the bedroom and fled from Easter Bay.On her way back to the hotel, she couldn't stop thinking about the bite marks on Liam's shoulder.It felt like so
Seeing that Suzy still wasn't speaking, Jeffrey used his last trick."Sigh, I still have stomach problems! The doctor said I shouldn't starve."After hearing that, what else could Suzy do?Even though she knew these were just excuses, Jeffrey just wanted her to get out and not stay cooped up in the room alone."Thank you, Jeff.""I should be the one thanking you for keeping me company for dinner. Let's go."…The night outside was still and quiet.The room, which had its lights turned off, suddenly lit up!Angela, who was still sleeping, was startled. She groggily opened her eyes and saw her brother sitting at the desk doing something.She stretched and walked over in her slippers. "Brother... what are you doing?"Arthur glanced at her and slapped his forehead. "I forgot you were in this room! I'm sending data to my mentor."He then showed her what he was working on.But how could she understand? To her, it was just a bunch of jumbled data."Who is your mentor, brother?""My mentor is
Before he got to see his dad, he got kidnapped!Arthur was not someone to mess with."Ding—"A message popped up on the phone."Did you go after your dad?" B7 asked.Arthur pouted and replied, "Mm-hmm! Teacher, you'll help me, right?""You sure know how to stir up trouble, landing me such a huge job with the Park Group! If it weren't for your begging, I wouldn't even consider this for less than ten million dollars.""Well, I'm your last apprentice!"Arthur even added a tongue-out emoji at the end.As a result, B7 directly blacked out the chat box.Arthur knew that this meant his mentor had agreed. He was always elusive, but whenever Arthur needed help, he was never stingy.…With Jeffrey around, Suzy finally dared to let herself get drunk.Since he was worried that no one would take care of her, Jeffrey didn't drink much; it was all her drinking.The difference this time was that he didn't stop her.How often could one get drunk in life?During such painful times, it was better to drin
Suzy was startled, sobering up quite a bit.She had been so caught up in her sadness that she forgot she was in Northorn City, where she could run into people who knew her."I came here for some business. I'm leaving tomorrow.”Ryan's voice grew louder. "I'm not asking when you're leaving. Who was the man you went into the hotel with?"His tone now was as if he had caught a cheating wife.Suzy furrowed her delicate brows. She didn't need to explain herself to him, but she didn't have the time to argue either, so she said, "I drank too much. A friend's cousin was just helping me back to the hotel.""Really?""Why would I lie to you? You're my boss, and I'm on vacation."Ryan was at a loss for words. "I'm just concerned about you! Don't trouble your friend's cousin. I have a friend in Northorn City. I'll ask her to look after you. She's a woman, so it'll be more convenient.""No need."Her blunt refusal made Ryan feel humiliated.But Suzy was in no mood to care about that now."Suzy, I'm
As soon as Clive mentioned Suzy, Liam went silent, as if someone had hit the mute button.Clive smirked, "You don't believe me, do you? Just to make sure you believe me, I took photos of them! I'll send them to you right now!""No need," Liam finally spoke. "Since they’re married, going in and out of hotels is normal."Clive was speechless."Anything else?"Liam's sudden calmness and composed tone threw Clive off.He had expected Liam to...To rush out and find her!But maybe that wasn't the scene he wanted to witness after all."No, nothing else.""Don't be late for the morning meeting," Liam said before hanging up.Clive clicked his tongue and tossed his phone aside.When he arrived at the company and walked in, he saw Sophia talking to some people in their department.Clive initially planned to ignore her, but Sophia didn't let him succeed."Wait a minute!"With his escape foiled, Clive had no choice but to stop."What's up?""Of course there's something up! I need to ask you about
