Chapter 351: He Should Know Who He Slept With

"Oh, come on, I have an urgent matter!" Clive glanced at the still-sleeping Arthur. "Let me ask you, are you sure Suzy had a daughter and not a son?""...Yes, she had a daughter. I've seen her.""Are you sure? Could it be that the child was just really pretty, and you mistook her for a girl?"Ryan didn't understand why Clive was asking this, but he was certain Suzy had a daughter."Impossible. Do you think I'm stupid?""Oh... then I guess it really isn't."Clive just wanted to confirm.He figured if Suzy's child resembled Liam so much, Ryan would have mentioned it to him. Ryan knew about his close relationship with Liam and had met Liam before."What are you talking about?" Hearing Suzy's name snapped Ryan wide awake.He was worried that saying the wrong thing could tip off Liam or Clive about something."It's nothing. I just suddenly discovered that Liam might have an illegitimate child.""...What? How is that possible? Mr. Park is known for his integrity. There have never been any ru

Chapter 352: I Think I’m Having a Heart Attack

"Ryan, if a little boy suddenly showed up claiming to be your son, and after confirming it with a paternity test, wouldn't you be confused?"Ryan was speechless. Of course, he would be.He had slept with so many women, some whose names he couldn't even recall. He couldn't be absolutely sure that none of them had ulterior motives."But hasn't Liam always been known for his integrity? Can he be compared to me?" Ryan scoffed. "Maybe in private, he has more tricks up his sleeve than either of us!""That's absolutely impossible! Since he left Suzy, he's been practically living at the office, always online on the company's system.""Would being online prevent him from doing that kind of thing?"Clive raised his voice. "Hey! Why do you have such a grudge against Liam?"Even someone as insensitive as Clive could sense it."I'm just being realistic," Ryan replied with a smile. "Alright, if it turns out the kid is his son, let me know. I'd love to see how it unfolds.""Screw you!"Clive hung up

Chapter 353: Looks Like Liam

Clive thought Sophia was genuinely in pain, so he ignored his phone and drove straight to the hospital.Once they arrived, he carried Sophia to the cardiology department.After a flurry of activity, he was exhausted and drenched in sweat. Only then did he remember that someone had called him earlier.He checked his phone and saw several missed calls from his assistant, followed by one from Liam.Unable to reach Clive by phone, Liam had sent a message on WhatsApp. “I've boarded the plane back to Northorn City. Reply when you see this.”Just as Clive was about to reply, his assistant called again.Thinking the kid might have caused trouble, Clive answered immediately."Hello? What's going on?""Mr. Clive! You asked me to come to the hotel to look after the child. I came, but... there's no child here!"Clive sprang up from his seat."What did you say?!""There's no child in the room. I tried calling you, but you didn't answer. I asked the hotel front desk, and they said... a man came and

Chapter 354: Suzy’s Son

"What if it's someone with bad intentions? Or someone who noticed he looks like Liam and wants to kidnap him for ransom!""You worry too much! Think about it. He was clearly taken by someone looking for him. How else would they know exactly where to find him? There are so many hotels in Northorn City!"Clive considered it and realized she might be right.Theoretically, her guess made sense."What do I tell Liam when he gets back?"He had specifically returned for this child."Just tell him you were joking if necessary. I can make sure no one at the company says anything," Sophia offered.But Clive, after thinking it over, declined her "help.""I can't do that. The child was really here. Liam needs to find out if he's truly his son and what the other party's intentions are." Clive believed it was better to get scolded by Liam now than to risk potential harm to Liam later.Since the issue had been discovered, it was best for Liam to investigate.He was sure Liam could uncover some clues

Chapter 355: An Illegitimate Child

He had given all his firsts to Suzy and to no one else....The person most delighted by the news of Liam potentially having an illegitimate child was Ryan.Upon learning the news, he was wide awake.It was still too early to call, so he didn’t want to disturb Suzy and her daughter. He waited until nearly noon before he couldn’t contain himself any longer.After a few rings, Suzy's voice came through. She sounded hoarse, likely from stress and worry."Hello, Ryan.""Have you found your daughter yet?"Suzy was about to say no, but hearing him mention her daughter, she quickly changed her answer to avoid further complications. "Yes, we found her.""That's great!" Ryan sighed in relief."However, my daughter is quite clingy, so I might need some more time before I can return to work. Could I extend my leave a bit...?""No problem! I've got things covered here at the company. If needed, I'll handle it myself. Just focus on spending time with your daughter!" Ryan chuckled. "And you don't ha

Chapter 356: He Must Have Slept with Other Women

Ryan figured Suzy was just having a hard time accepting Liam had slept with another woman. He was sure she'd come around, given some time.In any case, he had said what needed to be said. He had achieved his goal of letting Suzy know that that Liam had fathered a child, and that any hope of reconciliation between them was impossible."I wouldn't know, Suzy, but don’t be too upset about it!"Suzy was speechless.She wasn't upset; she was worried!It had to be Arthur who went to see Liam. And if Liam had Arthur under his thumb, even if she rushed over there now, chances were slim she'd be able to bring Arthur back.Suzy couldn't bear to think about what would happen if Liam found out about Arthur. Would she ever see her son again?After hanging up Ryan's call, she immediately sought out Jeffrey and Wendy to discuss the matter.They were still trying to figure out how to start looking for Arthur in Northorn City when they heard the news from Suzy."Are you saying Arthur went to see Liam?!

Chapter 357: I Haven’t Slept with Anyone Else

Jeffrey hesitated for a moment but eventually agreed, understanding Suzy’s sentiment"Alright! I'll use my ID to book a room for you, then I'll stay at a friend's place. That way, you won't be traced.""Okay, thank you, Jeff.""Stop it! I don't want to hear your thanks."Suzy ended the call and stared at her phone, a knot tightening in her chest.Since she didn't plan to accept Jeffrey, she should have drawn a clear line with him long ago! But now, she still needed his help all the time.Suzy sometimes felt guilty. She couldn't ignore the reproach of her conscience.Wasn't she just wasting his time?...After meeting with Clive, Liam found out that Clive had already checked all the suspicious surveillance footage around.However...The person who took the child seemed well-prepared. They were fully disguised when they came to the hotel and deliberately avoided the surveillance cameras when leaving with the child!As a result, there was no trace of them."Liam, do you think it's possibl

Chapter 358: Was She Pregnant Back Then

"Say what?"Liam looked into Clive's eyes and said gravely, "Could it really be Suzy's child?"After the divorce, she got pregnant and secretly had the baby without letting him know.Clive waved his hand again, his tone as resolute as joining a cause."Definitely not! Let me tell you, when you guys were getting divorced, I ran into Suzy at the hospital. She was there for a checkup."Liam had no idea about this. His thick eyebrows immediately furrowed. "Why didn't you tell me?""Why would I tell you? She was dead set on the divorce! At that time, she was at the hospital because she was having trouble getting pregnant. I even suspected she wanted the divorce because of that, but later I realized it wasn't the case."The real reason was still because of Sophia.But Clive wouldn't tell Liam that, even though he now disapproved of Sophia's actions. If he mentioned it, it would only lead to chaos.How would Liam face his parents then?And it wouldn't help him reconcile with Suzy at all. The

Chapter 359: Get Rid of the Child

Liam knew that if Suzy had given birth to his child, he would need to take responsibility as the father and marry her.However, Suzy would never agree to marry him!Clive couldn't even begin to imagine what Liam's parents' reaction would be upon learning this. Previously, he had thought they simply liked Sophia and wanted her as their daughter-in-law. But after suspecting that they had a part to play in Suzy's mother's death, Clive no longer saw it that way.It appeared they would eliminate anyone who obstructed Sophia and Liam's marriage, and Suzy's child would not be spared either.Sophia would never be a good stepmother, and Suzy couldn't be accepted by the Park family. This posed a dilemma for Liam.If he chose Suzy, his mother could pass away from her mental illness, and he would lose the person who took care of him from birth.If he chose to care for his mother, he would have to give up Suzy.In such a situation, Clive could only hope that the child wasn't really Suzy's or even

Chapter 360: You Want Him Dead

"You want him dead?!"The person on the other end was clearly shocked."Yes," Sophia replied without pretense, "I need to eliminate any potential threats in the cradle."She thought about it: if the child were left alive, he would eventually find Liam. The only solution was to make him disappear from this world entirely."You claimed he's not Liam's son, yet you say he's a threat!" The man quickly caught on. "You're deliberately trying to make me an enemy of the Park family!""You won't offend the Park family. Whether the child is Liam's or not, he won't be accepted by them. I'll ensure nothing happens to you, isn't that enough?""No way, I can't take this job. Find someone else!" The man refused decisively.Sophia furrowed her brows. "I can pay more.""It's not about the money! I can't harm such a small child."And if the child was indeed Liam's, it would be like dancing on the edge of a cliff—nothing good would come of it."How many lives have you taken? Don't act all virtuous now,"
