Chapter 181: No Right to Talk About Splitting Up
"Alright, it’s settled then! Finally, everything's clear now! Suzy, you're good to go back to work without any worries!" As someone simple, Wendy did not think there was any hidden agenda with what Sophia had posted.Naturally, she thought this issue was finally resolved, not realizing that Sophia's move was not actually an apology.Suzy didn't want Wendy to worry about her, so she just smiled and replied, "Yes.""Are you free this weekend? How about we have a meal together to celebrate? My treat!" Wendy offered eagerly."My mother is having some health issues again, I can't leave her side. Let's wait until I'm done with all this.”Wendy sighed on the other end. "Alright then, I'll wait for you! Let me know if you need any help. Don't be shy. I'm not really busy at work anyway, ever since you left, Mr. Shaw keeps making snide remarks at me, I've been thinking of quitting!""Don't... You're doing well at FortuneWave.

Chapter 183: Eventually Have A Lady of the House
Fortunately, Alec had always treated Suzy well; he hadn't offended this CEO's favorite person.He headed to the legal department to deliver Liam’s message, and the shock on everyone's faces was no less than Alec's initial reaction."Mr. Park is considering disbanding the entire legal department of Park Group?! Mr. Lincoln, are you sure you heard that right?"This decision was crucial!Every subsidiary of Park Group had its own legal department, and there had never been a precedent for hiring external law firms. Was he really about to break this rule just for Suzy?Alec cleared his throat and replied sternly, "Now you should understand Mr. Park's intentions. When you work at Park Group, just focus on your job at hand and do it well.""We understand!

Even Alec was talking down to her! Just wait and see. There would come a day when Liam would personally welcome her back....In the hospital room, Melissa was lying there listening to music, quite contentedly.The CD was a special collection Jeffrey had found for her, which was no longer available in stores."Mrs. Chase, would you like me to massage your legs?

Jeffrey experienced an inexplicable tightness in his chest, feeling oppressed despite being deemed highly successful by many....Upon entering the hospital room, Suzy noticed her mother's mood seemed unusually good.Typically, Melissa would have a stern expression, but today, there was a hint of a smile."Did something good happen?" Melissa's cheerful demeanor lifted Suzy's spirits as she placed the fruits she had bought on the way onto the bedside table."Can't I just be in a good mood for no reason?""Of course." Suzy began peeling the oranges, placing them onto a small plate.Melissa watched her daughter and couldn't resist asking, "Has Mr. Park's mother been bothering you?"Suzy paused for a moment, then shook her head. "No.""See, that’s the attitude of his family! They think their son could never be at a disadvantage, so they don’t even care if he were to fool around for a while!” "Mom!" Suzy frowned. "Could you please try not to be so narrow-minded?"Melissa chuckled as she a

Chapter 186: Invite Suzy Back to the Park Group
Suzy vaguely remembered that in the haze, Liam was repeatedly brushing her hair, until she completely lost consciousness and fell asleep…Perhaps because her strength was drained, she slept very deeply.Before Liam left, he intentionally closed the curtains tightly, blocking out any trace of light, which led Suzy to sleep until noon before waking up.When Suzy woke up, she glanced at her phone and noticed a missed call from her mother and another one from Alec.What could Alec want from her?Suzy quickly sat up to clear her head, then returned the call."Mr. Lincoln, were you looking for me?""Yes, I was wondering when you'd return to work.”"You could've called a few more times; I overslept by accident... I'm sorry! Next time, if it's urgent, feel free to call me repeatedly." Suzy hurriedly apologized.Alec chuckled on the other end, saying, "Mr. Park already informed me that you were still sleeping and advised me not to disturb you. He mentioned that you'd reach out once you woke up.

Chapter 187: He’s Making a Statement to the Public
Upon reaching Alec's office, Suzy knocked on the door.She heard a voice from within saying "come in," so she pushed the door open and entered."Mr. Lincoln, I'm here."Alec looked up from a stack of files and pointed to some documents on the desk. "You need to enter these into the computer. I'll send you the latest updates on the New Valley project, and you can handle the due diligence this afternoon.""Alright." Suzy picked up the documents to review them, and then promptly sent a file to Alec using her phone. "I had already inputted these before my suspension. I have them saved on my cloud because I didn't have access rights.""You inputted all these sections?!" Alec was surprised and immediately opened the file to check, "You really weren't idle during your break!"To put it into perspective, this workload amounted to nearly half a month's worth of tasks! Despite being suspended from Park Group for a brief period, Suzy still managed to accomplish so much!Suzy smiled. "I always kne

Balancing their statuses was incredibly difficult, but she wanted to balance their contributions....After a day's work, as she was leaving in the evening, Liam specifically messaged her to wait for him so they could go home together after his meeting.Suzy used this time to tidy up her desk.Since she was usually too busy to organize and file documents properly, she just made sure she knew where everything was kept.After finishing, she checked her phone and still saw no message from Liam.The meeting was probably more complicated than expected.Stretching her back, Suzy decided to take a walk outside, but just as she left the office, she encountered the last person she wanted to see—Sophia

Chapter 189: Don’t Be So Good to Me
"Miss Burns, do you have any comments?" Liam interjected before Suzy could speak, his tall figure shielding her completely.His posture seemed to suggest that if Sophia dared to insult Suzy further, he was ready to intervene physically.In Liam's presence, Sophia naturally couldn't continue her haughty behavior.She furrowed her brows slightly, looking up at Liam, "Don't forget the promise you made to your father."After that, Sophia turned and walked away.She left those words hanging, and surprisingly, Suzy did not pursue the matter."I've finished up; let's go home," Liam said."Okay."Liam didn’t call for a driver; instead, he personally drove them back to Easter Bay.On the way, they stopped to buy some vegetables and fruits, and after arriving home, they busied themselves in the kitchen and had a simple dinner.Near the end of the meal, Suzy hesitated with her fork in hand and suddenly said, "You should take back the project account and password you gave me. It would make your pa

"Is the workload I've given you too heavy?"Suzy jumped, startled. "When did you get here? I didn't see you.""Just now, you were very focused." Liam sat at the end of the bed. "I'll ask Alec to lighten your load.""No need! I asked him to delegate these tasks to me." While speaking, Suzy did not stop her work, "I've been resting recently, and he's probably been too busy to sleep. Now that I've taken some of the workload, it should give him a chance to breathe.""But you need to work overtime every day to handle all this.""It won't be for long, just a week at most."Suzy marked the documents one by one, saved them, and finally closed her computer with a sigh of relief. "Don't worry about me, I know my own limits."Despit
