Since he couldn't compete with Liam financially, Ryan decided to compete for Suzy's affection.After all, he had leverage over her. At the very least, he could create situations to annoy Liam easily.Despite being the high-and-mighty president of Park Group, Liam still had Suzy as his weakness....Sophia knew about Liam's efforts to find a doctor for Clive. She was more panicked than even Clive's parents! If Clive woke up, the whole truth would come out!Most things wouldn't matter much, even if Liam found out. Arthur's kidnapping could be covered up by his parents. But... if Liam learned the real reason behind his divorce from Suzy...The consequences were unimaginable.After all these years, it was clear that Liam still had a place for Suzy in his heart, showing how deeply he loved her. If he found out that she caused Suzy's mother's death…He would surely make her pay with her life.Desperate, Sophia placed her hopes on Liam's mother, her only lifeline."Mrs. Park, I'm afraid Liam
" Mrs. Park, when I saved you back then, I wasn't thinking about all this. I just wanted to protect you because I knew if anything happened to you, Liam would be devastated.""That's why I've always believed you're the most sensible and the one who loves my son the most! I don't acknowledge anyone else, not even Suzy! If those people had really taken my photos back then and used them to threaten the Park Group, the Park family would have been at their mercy! My husband and I would have—""Mrs. Park, please stop!" Sophia quickly interrupted. "Let's not dwell on the past! I've never regretted saving you, even if it means I never end up with Liam."The more Sophia spoke this way, the more guilty Grace felt.Those people had intended to humiliate Grace, taking compromising photos to blackmail the Park Group! If they had succeeded, she couldn't imagine how she and her husband would continue living, nor how the Park family would be controlled by others!Sophia had risked everything to rush i
The reason of being "accustomed to working with her" effectively silenced everyone.Who dared to question the CEO's chosen assistant?After the meeting ended, Liam got up and left, with Alec following him into the executive elevator.Once the doors closed, Alec reported, "The HR department has already notified Miss Chase to assume her position.""Good," Liam responded calmly. "She will likely try to resign."He knew Suzy's thoughts well."Yes, but with the contract in place, she won't dare to resign easily."As Alec finished speaking, the elevator doors opened.Liam stepped out, paused, and slightly turned his face towards Alec. "Do you think what I'm doing is a bit despicable?"Over the years, despite his high position, Liam had never abused his power or forcibly coerced anyone. Even when he intended for Suzy to work at the Park Group's headquarters, he had Alec groom her first rather than having her parachuted in.This was the first time Liam had disregarded someone's feelings.Alec
Jeffrey couldn’t bear the thought of someday receiving news of Suzy’s death...He knew it would drive him insane.“I know you’re looking out for me, but right now, I don’t have a choice.”Before Suzy could finish speaking, Jeffrey suddenly walked towards the door.She was startled and quickly grabbed him. “Where are you going?”“I’m going to find Liam! I want to ask him what his endgame is! He’s already caused your mother’s death—does he need to destroy you too before he’s satisfied?”“Don’t go.” Suzy blocked his path. “Jeff, I promise I’ll protect myself! Until B7’s surveillance is back up, we need to keep a low profile.”She wanted everyone responsible for her mother’s suffering to face justice, but she couldn’t risk alerting them now.“You’re stepping into the abyss again! Suzy, I’m scared of losing you.”He couldn’t imagine life without Suzy, nor could he fathom the torturous methods those people might use once they targeted her.“I know what I’m doing. Trust me.” Suzy was ready to
Suzy met his gaze, resolute and serious."Yes."Jeffrey suddenly smiled, stepping back a few paces, a bitter smile tugging at his lips. "Alright, alright... as you wish, I'll go on the dates."...After a long day at work, Liam declined any overtime and drove back to Easter Bay.On the way, he made a stop at the supermarket to buy some vegetables and fruits before heading home.As he parked the car downstairs, he got out and looked up at the lit living room, his lips curving into a slight smile.Having a little one waiting at home every day felt quite good.He now pushed aside any work he could and brought the rest home, just to spend more time with the little guy.Unlocking the door, Liam saw the small figure on the sofa, engrossed in his computer.Arthur was no longer hiding his activities, openly tinkering with Liam's computer!Unfortunately, he still hadn't managed to crack it."Anything special you want for dinner? I'll cook it for you."Arthur heard him and put down the computer,
Arthur immediately choked on his pasta and started coughing violently.Liam quickly got up and patted his back. "Take it slow, no one is going to take your food.""I'm fine!" Arthur waved his hand, his eyes avoiding Liam, not daring to look at him.At first, Liam was genuinely worried about Arthur choking, but as he noticed Arthur's slightly unusual behavior, he sensed something was amiss.Although Arthur tried to cover it up, the more he did, the more it confirmed that something was wrong.However, this time Liam chose not to ask directly. Instead, he pretended not to notice and finished the meal with him normally.Arthur had grown wary of his previous tactics, but there were many more tricks up Liam's sleeve.First, he would get Suzy to work at the Park Group. Everything else... would come in time....At the hospital, Clive showed no signs of improvement.A deep scar now marked his face permanently. While his multiple fractures weren't life-threatening, they meant he'd never be able
Sean was also giving Sophia a chance. If she was willing to be honest, he was open to giving her an opportunity.But if she continued to be evasive, it would indicate that she was involved in the car accident."Mr. Gray, do you not trust me?""Should I trust you?" Sean met her gaze directly, no longer holding back. "Sophia, have you lied so much that you’ve forgotten what you said earlier? When my son first arrived at the hospital, you knelt and admitted that you argued with him about Liam, causing him to leave the company angrily. And now you say it was because of work?"Having been in the business world for decades, Sean was not easily deceived.He wasn’t going to take her words at face value.Sean hadn't pressed the issue at the time, letting things cool off. Now he was catching her by surprise. If she could stick to her original story, he might believe her. If not, she'd be his prime suspect!Sean had no ties with Sophia's family. If someone tried to harm his son, he wouldn’t let
Suzy never imagined she would ever step into the Park Group again.Although her current company was DollarMax, and her position reflected she was the Project Director for DollarMax, her office had been moved to this building.Fortunately, Peter had also been summoned back to Park Group, so at least there was someone she knew.In contrast to Suzy's reluctance, Peter was extremely excited. As soon as they arrived in the waiting room of Park Group, his face lit up, and he started chatting with her enthusiastically."A few weeks ago, I got my fortune read, and it said good luck and money were coming my way. Turns out it was right! I'm so excited to be working at Park Group now - I can hardly believe it!"Suzy just smiled and nodded politely."You've heard of the CEO of Park Group, Liam Park, right? He's a legend in the business world. I wonder if we'll see him today!" Peter was practically trembling with excitement, ready to snap a photo of Liam at any moment.Anyone who didn't know better
