As Liam's car disappeared from view, Suzy turned with a smile, heading back to her office.When suddenly, Sophia appeared out of nowhere, her high heels clicking on the ground as she approached Suzy step by step.Suzy wanted to avoid getting involved with Sophia; she had a lot of work to do and couldn't afford to deal with Sophia every day."You don't need to avoid me. Today will be the last time I'll talk to you alone."Sophia wore a floral perfume, its scent distinct as she drew closer.Suzy disliked the smell.She stepped back. "What do you want to say?""Stay away from Liam, or you'll face consequences you can't handle."Sophia's words carried an implicit threat.Though her tone wasn't loud or fierce, somehow, it weighed heavily on Suzy."What are you trying to do? Miss Burns, you and your mother took away the family that should have been mine, I haven't done anything to hurt you so far. But instead, you're trying to frame and blackmail me. Don't think for a moment that I'm an easy

Liam chuckled softly after a pause, "Alright, you wait for me."After hanging up the phone, Suzy quickly ate some food and carefully stored the rest in the fridge.Even though Liam was wealthy, she didn't believe in his wasting food.With everything in order, she glanced at her phone again; Liam had sent a photo three minutes ago. It was a picture of him in the car.He must have been truly exhausted, so unlike his usual impeccably dressed self, Liam had loosened the top two buttons of his shirt. His tall figure reclined in the back seat, and the digits of his tattoo were faintly visible.Not used to taking selfies, his handsome face bore a stiff smile, tinged with a boyish shyness and bewilderment.Suzy saved the photo and then sent him a message to drive slowly and safely.Not one to waste time, Suzy opened her laptop to handle some project work while waiting for Liam. The material procurement contract from the partner had arrived, and with a major turnover in the legal department fo

"Alright." Suzy didn't quite understand but figured Alec had his reasons.Alec sighed silently as he watched the naively simplistic Suzy in front of him.No wonder Liam had to be so secretive before! If he hadn't quietly embedded himself by Suzy's side, slowly infiltrating her life, she might have fled before he even had a chance to confess—just as her skittish, rabbit-like nature might suggest.After giving his instructions and collecting the documents, Alec was about to leave.Suzy suddenly called out to him, "Oh, I'm planning to go for a medical check-up this Saturday. Are you sure there's nothing you need to schedule for me?"She was worried about being called back to the office in the middle of her appointment."Go ahead, it's fine!" Alec raised an eyebrow. "Are you feeling unwell?""No, it's just a routine check-up.""Ah, that’s good to have! Our job is stressful, and you’ve been through a lot recently. It’s a good habit to keep a regular check on your health. Speaking of which,

While waiting for the results, Suzy called her mother because Melissa hadn't replied to a message Suzy had sent earlier.The call went unanswered.Suzy felt a bit uneasy, but she wasn’t overly worried since her mother usually had her rehabilitation sessions on weekends and often didn’t carry her phone with her. Suzy resolved to finish her check-up quickly and then visit her mother at the hospital to make sure everything was alright."Suzy Chase, please come to Examination Room 3."Hearing her name being called, Suzy quickly put away her phone and headed to the indicated room.The same doctor was there, frowning slightly as he reviewed her urine and blood test results."It's good that you came in for a check-up. You are pregnant."...When the doctor uttered those words, Suzy’s mind went blank."The blood tests indicate that the child is developing normally," the doctor continued, not looking up from her medical record as he made notes. "Do you want to keep it?"Before she could respon

As the conversation quieted down, footsteps echoed from outside the hospital room.The door swung open, and Liam saw Sophia clutching his mother's hand, her eyes tightly shut as tears streamed down her face.Hearing the sound, Sophia looked up at him, her eyes red-rimmed. "Liam, the doctor said Mrs. Park is in critical condition! Don't go to the office today. I believe you’d be the first person she wants to see the moment she wakes up.”Liam stood at a distance, his brow furrowed, showing no intention of comforting her."This doesn't concern you anymore, you can leave.""…Alright then, just call me if you need anything."The conversation suddenly turned to the topic of cellphones, startling Sophia, while Grace, pretending to faint, sneakily poked her hand."Did you see my phone?"Liam stooped to search for his phone, instantly causing Sophia and Grace to freeze, their breath caught in their throats.They couldn't let him know what was happening with Suzy now!Luckily, Sophia was quick
