"I've been trying to contact him all along, but he's elusive, and no one knows where he is or what he looks like! I can only reach out to people who have dealt with him before and see if I can get a response from him."Suzy nodded, knowing that Jeffrey must have done his best, and there was no need to push him further."I can only pin my hopes on this person now."Jeffrey hesitated for a moment and then said, "After this incident, I suddenly realized that Arthur has a talent for computers and the internet. Maybe you should... let him give it a try?"Suzy looked at him and shook her head. "No, even if Arthur has the ability, I don't want him to see that scene."Arthur was already a thoughtful child, not as innocent and naive as Angela. If he were to recover the video, he would be the first to see it, and that would not be good for his growth.It was a murder scene!He would harbor even deeper hatred toward the Park family.Jeffrey understood Suzy's concern as a mother and nodded in agre
Suzy looked at him, bemused."Your thinking is a bit disturbing," she said."It's not disturbing. If they die, it's just karma.”Suzy's lips twitched uncomfortably. The topic was sensitive. "Besides, Liam has already remarried. Two kids suddenly appearing would be really unfair to his current wife."Ever since she saw the bite mark on Liam's shoulder, Suzy had felt a sense of guilt.She never thought she would covet another woman's husband! But the fact was, she did, and even went to Liam's house to do it!If she put herself in Liam's current wife's shoes, how would she feel knowing this?She really shouldn't have done that!"Don't think too much. You're already prepared to leave. All the domestic drama will be in the past, and everything will be over.""Yes, once I leave, time will heal everything."She sincerely hoped that with her departure, Liam could truly let go of his feelings and really love his wife, like he loved her.As they were talking, Suzy's phone suddenly beeped.She lo
Clive was stunned by Arthur's words.Was he really talking to a little kid?"You intercepted a number?" he asked in disbelief."Yes! Waiting for you guys to rescue me was taking too long," Arthur replied calmly. He spoke without any hint of boasting about his intelligence as if he were just discussing the weather.Clive stared at him, utterly amazed. It was as if he was seeing the world in a whole new light."Then give me the number."Arthur glanced at him and suddenly shook his head. "I can't just give it to you. You couldn't even find me; I had to escape on my own!"Clive was speechless."We can make a deal," Arthur said, squinting as he smiled. He looked exactly like a miniature version of Liam, except Liam rarely smiled. "Can I use your work computer?"Clive didn't understand what Arthur wanted to do, but seeing how capable the boy was, he knew he needed to be careful."My computer has a lot of important stuff on it. It's not something you can just play around with," Clive explaine
Arthur didn't believe that once he was inside Liam's home, he couldn't find any flaws in his company!Just as Liam was about to speak, Clive quickly intervened, worried that they might clash right after their first meeting. He waved his hand and said, "Liam, the kid just met you, so he might be a bit wary! Take him home and talk to him later. For now, let's get some food. I'm hungry, and he probably is too!"After saying that, Clive gave Arthur a meaningful look.Receiving the signal, Arthur reluctantly nodded. "Yes, I'm hungry.""Okay." Liam, feeling a bit at a loss with this sudden arrival of his son, was grateful for Clive's presence, which eased the awkwardness.When they arrived at the restaurant, Liam ordered a table full of dishes, unsure of what children liked to eat.As Arthur ate with his head down, Clive leaned in to Liam and whispered, "I have to tell you, your son is a genius with computers!"Liam glanced at him. "I've noticed.""Huh?""The software crash at Park Group was
Clive knew without a doubt that they were father and son. If Arthur wasn't Liam's child, it would be nothing short of a miracle!However…"Have you thought about how to find out who the child's mother is?" Clive asked.They couldn't just take in a child of unknown origin. Arthur's arrival would affect many things - it wasn't just a simple matter of childcare.Liam obviously wouldn't let it go. He needed to investigate, but he didn't want to rush things."This child seems hostile towards me," Liam replied. "Instead of running in circles, I think it's better to let him tell me directly."Clive pointed at Arthur skeptically. "What? He plays dumb with you. What could he possibly tell you?"Do you believe he knows nothing?"Clive kept quiet.Of course not.Clive suspected that this child's intelligence might be higher than his own! Playing dumb was just a tactic to avoid talking.After bringing Arthur back, Clive reluctantly left them at Easter Bay.Naturally, Arthur hadn't forgotten about
In truth, Sophia was more flustered than Clive but managed to regain her composure quickly."You said you trust me, yet you're investigating me?" She wasn't stupid; she quickly grasped the situation. "If you really trusted me, you would have called this number with your own phone, not someone else's! You were afraid I’d recognize your number, weren’t you?"Clive had no response.Indeed, his last-minute decision to use his assistant's personal number was to avoid detection.But was that the main point?"Sophia, you're insane! You really intend to harm Liam's son? He's just a child, and you dare lay a hand on him!""I didn't plan to hurt him. Liam's parents wanted to see the child, so I arranged for him to be taken," Sophia had already prepared an excuse, immediately pushing Liam's mother as the scapegoat.But Clive wasn't foolish; he just hadn't wanted to delve deeper."If Liam's parents really wanted to see the child, you wouldn't have taken him to a warehouse in the suburbs. You woul
At Easter Bay, Liam had canceled a few meetings to spend some time getting to know his son.With the sudden arrival of a son, Liam felt a bit awkward and unsure in front of Arthur."What... would you like to eat?"Arthur looked at him and plopped down on the sofa. "Didn't we just eat?""Then how about a drink or some snacks? I'll have someone get them." Liam, not knowing how to entertain a child, tried his best to think of what kids might like.But his son wasn't an ordinary child and directly asked, "What about the computer you promised? I want to play on it."Liam immediately instructed Alec to bring the computer.But before that, he had something to ask, "Was it you who caused the issues with the Park Group software?"Arthur didn't deny it and nodded."That serves you right.""...Did your mom tell you I'm a jerk?" Liam wanted to get some information about Arthur's mother.But Arthur wasn't naive.He looked up at Liam and smiled."Don't treat me like a kid! I know what you're thinkin
The loud noise from the phone left Liam's ears ringing, followed by the sound of car alarms..."Clive, Clive!"He shouted a few times, but there was no response.Realizing something was wrong, Liam immediately called Alec, instructing him to check for any car accidents on the main road leading to Easter Bay.Arthur, who was sitting nearby, quickly held up his phone, pointing to the screen."It should be on Golden Gate Road. There’s heavy traffic there."Liam glanced at him and nodded without any doubt. "Stay here. I'll give you access to the Park Group's backend. Don't leave until I get back."Arthur nodded, knowing better than to cause trouble at this moment. "Okay."...By the time Liam arrived, Clive had already been taken to the hospital.He quickly turned the car around and headed to the hospital. At the entrance of the emergency room, Sophia was already there.When she saw Liam, she could barely stand, leaning against the wall, her makeup ruined by tears."Liam... you're finally
