Chapter 141: Liam’s Love Letter

Suzy pondered over the sentence repeatedly before finally grasping its meaning."So, you weren't drunk?!" Liam couldn't help but chuckle at her response.Wasn't his actions obvious enough? How could she fail to see his intentions?"Yes, I was completely sober when I knocked on your door that night.""But… but, don't you have someone you like?" Suzy found it difficult to speak.She had seen the interview clip that Wendy sent her, where Liam confessed to having feelings for one woman!"Can't that person be you?"Suzy froze at his reply.What did Liam mean by this, was he confessing to her?"From the very start, when I received your text and knocked on your door, to proposing the marriage agreement, everything was carefully thought out."When he spotted Suzy in the midst of the business travelers, he had already been devising a plan to approach her.Later, when he received her text and guessed that she was rather drunk, he hesitated for a few seconds before deciding to take advantage of

Chapter 142: Your Mother Is Missing

Suzy nodded quietly in agreement, her movements resembling those of a pecking chicken.Liam was speechless."Don't be angry, I will read it now!" She noticed Liam's handsome face stiffening and thought he might be upset, so she hurried to read the rest of the letter.But suddenly, Liam's slender fingers quickly snatched the letter away!"It's better not to read further.""Why?""No reason." The immature writing from his youth was something he couldn't bear to face now, let alone let Suzy read it right in front of him!Suzy felt confused by his actions. She couldn’t understand why he would first offer to let her read, then take it away.Suddenly, she remembered something."You said the letter was for me, but why did you mention knowing the secret of 0825? What does 0825 signify?"How was she related to those numbers?She had always thought they represented Sophia, and the letter was written by Liam to Sophia."I'll tell you next year, on August 25th."He had intended to say it this yea

Chapter 143: I’ve Seen That Woman

Suzy skipped breakfast entirely and went straight to the hospital. Yet, this time, Melissa appeared to have everything meticulously prepared, including the route!"We have a small gate in the backyard. Around one o'clock every afternoon, a gardener passes through here to tend to the flowers and trees. After completing his rounds, he leaves. That's when your mother sneaked out."The hospital took this matter very seriously and quickly retrieved the surveillance footage. The two guards who were stationed outside Ward V1 were visibly nervous, fearing Liam’s potential blame."This is not your fault; it's my mother's decision to leave," Suzy reassured them, though she was anxious.If Melissa wanted to escape, no one could stop her."What do we do now? Should we inform Mr. Park?" one of the guards asked."No, don't tell him." Suzy shook her head, not wanting to distract Liam further.As she sat down, pondering her mother's sudden desire to leave the hospital, despite the pain from her surger

Chapter 144: He’s Telling the Truth

"Mom, please stay calm. I... I've arranged for a paternity test. Once we have the results, we'll have the evidence we need to bring this matter to light. Otherwise, without evidence, Sophia could easily use it against us and take legal action."After all, Sophia was a lawyer, and they needed evidence to fight against her!"Alright! When the time comes, I will testify for you." Melissa took her daughter's hand and patted it. "You've been through a lot. Our past grievances have ended up affecting you.""Mom, as long as you're safe and sound, I can endure anything."Initially, Suzy preferred to keep this matter private, but Sophia's persistent harassment left her with no option but to address it.…The video was clearly sent to Melissa by Sophia's instruction. Sophia even shared details about her own hospitalization with Melissa, likely to convince her to visit.Since Sophia was confident that they had no evidence against her, she thought no one would believe them.Especially if such matt

Chapter 145: Who Is That Girl

However, those words were now futile.Grace wasn't foolish; she had already sensed something amiss from Sophia's words and demeanor."Tell me, who is that woman?" "She's his cleaner! Really!""Don't try to deceive me, Sophia. You should be on my side! How could you side with Liam and hide this from me?" Grace realized that if that woman could enter and leave her son's residence, she must be someone important to him.Initially, Grace thought Liam was too busy with work to clean his place, and since he was a bit of a neat freak, he hired someone. But seeing Sophia's hesitant demeanor today, she was certain that girl wasn't just a cleaner!Sophia lowered her head, lips pressed together in discomfort."I... Mrs. Park, you should ask Liam about it! If I were to speak up, he'd get angry! Liam doesn't like others gossiping about him. He might not get upset with you, but if he knew I told you about this, he’d get mad at me.”Grace stood up suddenly, her expression growing more and more displ

Chapter 146: Driving Me Crazy

Liam was safeguarding Suzy's interests by serving as a guarantor for Park Group.Did Suzy and Liam share such a close bond despite being classmates? After leaving the meeting room, John was already waiting outside the door. "Mr. Park, your flight ticket has been booked, but the return ticket is still pending. Once you're done with your business in New Valley, just send me a message, and I'll arrange it.""Alright."Liam nodded and strode back to his office. Just as he pushed open the door, he saw his mother sitting on the sofa.Grace looked furious.Liam glanced sideways at John, who promptly closed the door and exited the office."Mom, do you need something?" "If I hadn't returned this time, were you not intending to inform me that you have a lover?" Grace got straight to the point. "The one I saw yesterday, she's not just someone you hired to clean, is she? She's clearly your lover you’re hiding!"Liam didn't like the term "lover," and he furrowed his brows slightly."This is my b

Chapter 147: Liam Must Marry Sophia

His slender fingertips paused for a moment before he replied, “Alright, I'll pick you up tomorrow after I come back.”Shortly after he hung up the phone, a doctor came out of the emergency room. Upon noticing Liam, he furrowed his brows with concern."Mr. Park, the patient's condition is quite unusual. When she falls into such a deep coma-like state as she is now, she exhibits no will to live. It's likely triggered by some stimulus. I've examined her medical records, and she has severe depression. This is not a condition to be taken lightly!""Yes, I understand." Liam was well aware of this. "How is my mother doing now?""She's temporarily out of danger. Once her vital signs stabilize, she'll be transferred to a regular ward."Liam breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this."You've worked hard.""Saving lives is my duty, Mr. Park, please don't say that." The doctor smiled before preparing to leave. But halfway, he turned back to repeat his advice, "Whatever you do, try not to upset

Chapter 148: You Have a Fiancée

Grace didn't even consider Suzy to be worthy of a name; she simply referred to her as "the cleaner."Grace believed that by expressing her demand, she could prompt her son's agreement. However, Liam simply gazed back at her, his lips pressed tightly together, showing his unwillingness to yield even in such circumstances and marry Sophia.Both remained silent, their eyes locking in a silent exchange, each lost in their own thoughts. The atmosphere became noticeably tense for a moment, as if time had momentarily frozen.Fortunately, the doctor came over to call him to sign some papers. Liam then softly said, "I'll go check on it," and left the hospital room.Grace's condition was unique; she was susceptible to relapses at any time and in any place.So, after the doctor had him sign the papers, he repeatedly reminded Liam to go along with her wishes, as this self-destructive type of depression had a high mortality rate.When Liam returned to the hospital room, he found someone else there

Chapter 149: Not Interested in Suzy

"I'm sorry," Sophia said, lowering her head as she turned to leave.Grace immediately interjected, "She's also part of the Park family. We don’t need to exclude her from our matters.”Seeing the tension between mother and son escalating, with neither willing to yield, Sophia quickly added, "Mrs. Park, I just remembered I have some unfinished business. “Now that I've seen you awake, I feel relieved. I'll go back to work for now and come back to see you when I'm done."She took a few steps back and then left the room, closing the door behind her.Now, only Grace and Liam were left in the room.The monitoring equipment continued to beep, and the smell of disinfectant filled the air, mingling with an underlying tension.Ever since Grace was rescued from her kidnapping ordeal and developed severe depression, Liam had acquiesced to everything she asked, except for marriage.That was the only thing he couldn't agree to."Why do you think Sophia is unworthy to be with you? What does that clea

"I've liked her for over a decade."Clive was momentarily stunned by his sudden confession, unable to respond.Liam didn't elaborate further and simply drove away from the hospital.Behind him, Clive clicked his tongue, ultimately sighing after pondering for a while.Love is definitely a mystery....In Wendy's house, Suzy listened to Wendy’s constant chatter, but she didn’t register any of Wendy’s words.Her mind was in disarray, leaving her in a state of restlessness."Are you even listening to me?" Wendy nudged her with her elbow.Suzy snapped back to reality. "Huh? Yeah, I heard...""In fact, this matter has already sparked considerable debate within the company. I don't think you should miss out on this wave of attention. Otherwise, as mere employees, it won't be easy for us to bring down a big shot like Sophia. “In my opinion, you should put all the existing evidence online. Although it won't directly prove anything, it can at least sow seeds of doubt.""No, Sophia is a lawyer.
