Were those words targeted at her?Seeing a flood of responses below, Suzy quickly sent a message acknowledging receipt.The meeting continued until one in the morning, but with the CEO as the host, no one dared to yawn.Finally, the CEO's secretary concluded the meeting and announced, "That's it for today's meeting."Suzy breathed a sigh of relief. She was about to turn off her camera and stretch when Liam added at the end, "The person in charge of the new car technology project mentioned in the meeting earlier will meet me separately.""Are you referring to the project led by Jeffrey Palmer?" Alec asked directly."Yes.""Alright! Miss Chase from the Investment Department, you will connect with Mr. Park separately."Suzy really hadn't expected this surprise. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she nodded quickly. "Okay."Exiting the meeting room, she stared at Liam’s personal account for several seconds but couldn't muster the courage to request the connection.She was afraid and emb
Without waiting for Suzy to say anything, Liam had already hung up on the other end.It appeared as if their connection had instantly returned to the dynamics of a CEO and an employee.Right, he had reconciled with Sophia. What position could her substitute still have?She closed her computer. After changing into her pajamas and taking a shower, Suzy lay in bed but unexpectedly couldn't fall asleep.She tossed and turned, unable to sleep.It was already early morning, and if she didn't sleep soon, she would have to get up for work!Suzy closed her eyes tightly, but no matter what, she couldn't feel sleepy. She decided to get up and restart her computer to continue working.Just as she logged into the company's server, she noticed that Liam was still online.Hadn't he gone to sleep?She stared at the screen for a while before suddenly remembering that Liam was currently abroad, in a different time zone. It was afternoon there.She tugged at her lips, chuckling with a hint of self-deprec
Suzy couldn’t believe her mother actually called Jeffrey! Suzy's eyebrows furrowed deeply, and she felt a powerful surge of anger welling up inside her, like an unstoppable force.The feeling of being controlled and coerced in every aspect was really infuriating her."Why didn't you tell me and just go contact him yourself? I told you he's busy, but he agreed to your call just to show you some respect!" "Are you interrogating me?" Melissa's tone became just as fiery. "Everything I do, I do it for whom? You got married without even telling me, and now you're blaming me! I just want him to do more for you, to spend more time with you. Why are you so upset about this?”Suzy slammed her phone down loudly.That same old phrase again."For your own good!"But what exactly did "for your own good" mean? Was it good just because she thought it was?Suzy tried to calm herself down, not wanting these matters to affect her. After all, no matter what, the upcoming surgery was the most important
Honestly, Suzy couldn't help but admire Sophia. She was willing to ask her about such a private matter without any hint of embarrassment.Seriously...They were discussing Liam, and Sophia was Liam’s crush for years. Now that Sophia's feelings for him were mutual, Suzy couldn't help but wonder why she was involved in this situation, being asked for advice on such personal matters.Moreover, considering the time difference, it was likely late at night in Ashington. During this passionate time of day, it was hard not to wonder what they had been up to that required Liam to change his personal attire."I'm sorry, I don't know," Suzy replied. Frustrated, she turned her phone off and set it aside to avoid interrupting her work.…Meanwhile, in a luxury hotel suite in Ashington.Liam had just finished dealing with company matters and was preparing to change the dressing on his wound before resting when suddenly, there was a knocking at the door.He furrowed his brow and walked over, openi
Liam granted Suzy the official status and legal confirmation of marriage! This was something the Park family had always desired for him to give Sophia!"For now, don't let her know." Liam took his mother's condition into account, but he also realized that if he didn't secure Suzy's commitment now and make the most of the current situation, he might lose the chance later on."Yeah, don't worry. I won't say anything." Sophia took a few steps back. "Since you don't need my help, I won't disturb your rest. Get some sleep."After saying this, Liam only nodded faintly.He didn't even say goodnight and simply closed the door.He walked back to the bed, and suddenly, he recalled the conversation he had overheard through Suzy's phone during the meeting."Suzy, can I come in?""Don't mention it. I thought even during overtime work, you need to eat something! If it weren't for Wendy insisting on buying a few pieces of clothing, we could have come back earlier. “Tomorrow, I'll ask her to prepar
On the evening before Melissa's surgery, Suzy didn't spend the night at Wendy's house; instead, she stayed with her mother at the hospital. Suzy understood that even though Melissa appeared brave and fearless, it was only natural for her to feel anxious inside, considering the seriousness of the upcoming surgery."The doctor said the success rate of your surgery this time is very high, and in another ten days or so, you'll be able to leave the hospital."Suzy could only say some positive things to ease her mother's worries."I know, the lead surgeon came and talked to me yesterday." Melissa had been instructed to fast before the surgery, so she had to lie in bed and minimize her movements, with even limited water intake. "You don't need to worry about me; I'm more worried about you."She was gently wiping her mother's arm and hesitated for a moment. "There’s nothing you should be worrying about me.""Both of you are legally married but haven't held a wedding yet! Is that Jeff guy i
That feeling was just terrible!Worse than working overtime for a whole week.Melissa suddenly sighed too. "Suzy, I realize I shouldn't constantly plant these negative thoughts about marriage in your mind. Eventually, you'll have to settle down and build a stable home. But I just can't help it! I can't shake the feeling that all men have ulterior motives.”Thinking back, Suzy's father had also been kind and perfect, drawing Melissa in so deeply that she couldn't break free from his hold."Mom, don't dwell on those thoughts. You're going to have your surgery tomorrow, so get some rest." She tucked her mother in and smiled. "Finally, you’re getting your surgery, and for me, nothing else matters."Suzy had endured so much for this day!After putting her mother to sleep, she found herself strangely unable to sleep.She got up and logged into the internal server of Park Group on her computer, intending to organize some documents, but her eyes always wandered to Liam's account.He was still
Suzy didn’t care if she had overthought about his intention to help her or if it was just her self-imposed assumptions, she chose to be upfront and clear about everything.Her bluntness had left Jeffrey somewhat stunned."I don't care about these things."His response was resolute.In fact, since the very first moment he laid eyes on Suzy, Jeffrey had a strong impression of her. Coupled with Wendy’s continuous praises, he became increasingly interested in this girl. However, because he previously had a stable girlfriend, he didn't entertain any other thoughts. After his breakup and Wendy’s suggestion of setting him up with Suzy, he couldn’t deny he was genuinely interested in her.It wasn't just because Suzy was beautiful; it was more about her determination and strength that made a man want to protect her."But I do care," she stated calmly. "I want a marriage based on equality, but in this situation, I would only become a burden to a family.""How could that be? Even if Mrs. Chase
