Chapter 401: I Contacted B7
Suzy ultimately decided to stay in Northorn City.She asked Wendy to bring Angela over as well.As a mother, she felt she had left Arthur overseas for far too long. Despite the risks, she couldn't bear to leave him on his own any longer.Jeffrey could only offer advice and couldn't make decisions for Suzy. Seeing she had made up her mind, he could only fully cooperate.As night fell, Suzy stood by the hotel room window, staring at the streetlights outside in a daze.After careful consideration, she took out her phone and dialed Ryan's number."Hello, Ryan, find someone to take over my project. I want to resign.""What? Resign?" Ryan's voice instinctively rose, "Suzy, do you know what you're saying?"She had always been very responsible, so Ryan never expected her to ask to quit halfway."I know I've let you down, but I can't stay in this position any longer," Suzy said. She had no idea how long she'd be gone. The project was so unpredictable that even a few hours could change everythin

Liam's sudden move caught Ryan off guard."Who did you say you were? Park Group?""Yes."Ryan chuckled deeply. "I have no intention of selling DollarMax Investment. Tell Mr. Park to forget about it! Don't think I don't know what he's up to."This wasn't about buying DollarMax Investment; it was all about Suzy!"Mr. Park is giving you one day to consider.""I have no intention of selling! What is there to consider?"Alec chuckled. "Consider whether you want to sell it willingly or whether we will have to force you to sell it.”In any case, the sale was inevitable."Are you planning to strong-arm this deal?!" Ryan stood up from his chair, fuming, "Let me tell you, no way! I am still the largest shareholder of DollarMax Investment. As long as I don't agree, you can forget about buying it!"Alec's voice remained calm, and there was the sound of paper rustling in the background."Listen, Mr. Ryan. You currently own 34% of DollarMax Investment's shares, making you the largest shareholder. Bu

"You can try doing that! I won't disturb you any longer, Mr. Ryan. Goodbye."After Alec hung up, Ryan was so furious that he smashed his phone to pieces on the floor.Standing up, he immediately called his secretary over. "Issue an order to fire Suzy from DollarMax Investment!""What?" The secretary was stunned.He just told them to keep Suzy's contract, and now he wanted to fire her?"Do it now!""But... retrieving the contract requires three business days."Ryan clenched his fist tightly. “Then terminate her unlawfully. I'll cover the compensation myself!"The secretary nodded and hurried out.But soon after, he came back, stumbling over his words, "Mr. Ryan, the HR department says... you're no longer the largest shareholder of DollarMax. The decision to fire Miss Chase has been overruled by the current largest shareholder...""Liam!" Ryan pounded his fist on the desk. "Alright, great! Wonderful!"The secretary had never seen Ryan like this. Ryan was usually cheerful, rarely even fro

"Impossible! You're lying to a kid!"Liam shrugged and pulled out his phone, speaking softly, "1:03 AM, 10:27 AM, hmm... and you accessed the server one minute ago."Arthur's eyes widened in disbelief. "I reset and cleared everything!"Seeing his son's frustrated face, Liam couldn't resist walking back to pinch his cheeks."Where did you learn these skills?""From my mentor! He's amazing!"Watching his son brag about someone else, Liam raised an eyebrow with a hint of jealousy and said, "Once I finish my work, I'll teach you myself."He grabbed his car keys and headed to the supermarket, personally driving there.To ensure his son ate nutritious and healthy food, he bought extra side dishes.On his way out, he noticed a toy stall at the supermarket entrance. Although he walked past it, he quickly turned back."Excuse me, can you help me carry these to my car?""Of course, sir!"After buying everything, Liam realized the meeting time was approaching. If he cooked, he would be late. Afte

Arthur was so startled that he nearly dropped his fork. "My... my neighbor's sister!"Liam placed the dish on the table and then sat down across from him."Arthur, children shouldn't lie.""I'm not lying...""You have a sister. Your mother had two children." Liam's words were firm and definitive, not a question but a statement.The key point wasn't just what he said; it was the panic he saw in Arthur's eyes after he said it.This confirmed that he was right, even though he had used a small trick to get the information."I don't want to eat anymore!" Arthur felt like he couldn't hide anything in front of Liam and wanted to leave.Liam quickly grabbed his wrist."You need to eat dinner. No leaving.""You want to bully me! I'll cry!"Liam shrugged. "Go ahead and cry if you want. No one else is around Easter Bay to hear you."Arthur knew that, of course. On his first day here, he'd scanned for electronic devices nearby. The few he found proved how empty the area was.Liam added a few piece
Read moreChapter 406: Breach the Contract
“Wait, you want to go up against the Park Group?” Suzy furrowed her brows. “Ryan, you don’t stand a chance.”“Do you expect me to just let him trample over me like this?” Ryan was furious.Because of his pursuit of Suzy, Clive must have told Liam. He had been quiet all this time, so Ryan assumed…He assumed Liam had accepted it.But this sudden takeover of DollarMax caught him completely off guard! It felt like they were tossing money at him and shoving him aside like he was nothing!Ryan had never faced such humiliation in his life!“Ryan, you can’t fight the Park Group.” Suzy wasn’t siding with Liam; she was stating the facts.DollarMax might be sizable, but it paled in comparison to the Park Group.If Liam had set his sights on DollarMax, unless he changed his mind, public opinion wouldn't stop him. Even if every other company in the country announced they wouldn’t cooperate with the Park Group, he’d only lose the domestic market.Besides, in business, how many companies would sever
Read moreChapter 407: Shameless
Suzy hesitated.It wasn't that she suddenly wanted to work in Park Group, but she couldn't afford the breach of contract penalty.If it was just the penalty stated in the contract, she could grit her teeth and pay it. But taking on the responsibility for the entire Windsting City resort development? That was impossible.Given that Liam went as far as to spend heavily to acquire DollarMax, would he care about a resort development project?As the company's president, he could manipulate the project to incur as much loss as he wanted.A multi-billion project, if the responsibility were transferred to her, she couldn’t afford it even if she sold everything she had.“Miss Chase, please reconsider. If you change your mind, you’re welcome to join the Park Group.”The HR person hung up, leaving Suzy sitting dejectedly on the bed.It was clear that Liam had blocked all her escape routes, leaving no room for maneuver.But why had he made such a drastic decision?...At the hospital, Clive still

"Do you really need to hide your intentions?"Before Suzy came into the picture, Liam wouldn't have paid any attention to DollarMax! His sudden acquisition made his motives obvious to everyone."What evidence do you have to prove that?"Ryan was speechless.Liam and Ryan stood face to face, with Liam slightly taller, looking down at Ryan."Instead of wasting time here, you should focus on acquiring more shares to maintain your position as the largest shareholder.""I will!"Liam smiled. "Mr. Ryan, I heard you’re planning to buy shares at double my offer."Ryan straightened his back, his face showing a bit of mockery. "That's right, I said it! And I'm using cash flow to do it."Liam nodded, his tall and slender figure standing opposite Ryan as if he were the CEO listening to a subordinate's report, with Ryan being that subordinate."Impressive, certainly attractive! I wish you success."With that, Liam turned to walk towards his car.Ryan felt like he hadn't threatened Liam at all, whic
Read moreChapter 409: He’d Make Her Pay
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
