Suzy knew exactly whom he was referring to."No, having him come to Easter Bay to pick me up would make him angry."As soon as she spoke, Suzy could distinctly feel the man in front of her turning cold.His eyes, sharp as blades of ice, pierced her heart, making it tremble and bleed...Suddenly, Liam raised his hand.Suzy instinctively dodged, only to realize he was just reaching for a cigarette in his pocket, which he then lit and took a hurried drag from.It seemed that only smoking could help him maintain his usually indifferent expression.Due to his OCD, he had never smoked inside the house before, not even once.She knew that Liam must be struggling to control his emotions at this moment, afraid of doing something impulsive that might make her dislike him."Liam, you just got out of the hospital. Stop smoking."Suzy reached out to take the cigarette away, but Liam dodged her, just as he avoided other women to prevent misunderstandings.However, he didn't continue smoking. Instead

Every step Jeffrey took was deliberately slow. He was listening to see if Liam were following him to leave.After a long silence without hearing Liam's footsteps, Jeffrey turned around quietly. He rubbed his eyes, thinking he must have seen something wrong.Top of FormLiam was crying.He was actually crying!Though completely silent, the sorrow in his deep eyes and the redness at the corners couldn't be hidden.Tears slid down his cheeks, dampening the collar of his white shirt, the moisture spreading...It’s said that a man seldom sheds tears, but only because he hasn't yet felt true sorrow.At this moment, Jeffrey had no doubt about Liam's genuine love for Suzy.Hesitating briefly, he took out his phone and snapped a photo of Liam in tears, planning to send it to Suzy.He thought that if Suzy saw it, there might be a chance for things to turn around, that she might change her mind!But when Jeffrey opened the WhatsApp conversation with Suzy, his fingers paused.He chose not to send

The wedding scene was coordinated by Liam and the designer.There were red roses everywhere, even the red carpet was strewn with petals...Suzy looked at the scene before her, feeling a sense of familiarity, but couldn't recall where she had seen it before!Liam, standing beside her, spoke warmly, "In junior high, you once drew a picture of your future wedding during art class."She was instantly stunned!That was so many years ago.Suzy remembered the art teacher teaching them how to draw scenes and some composition techniques.She had sneaked a glance at her classmates' drawings; most of them were sketching places they had visited or their homes.Suzy had never traveled nor had a home of her own, so she decided to draw an imagined grand wedding.In her imagination, the bride and groom deeply loved each other, with eyes only for one another. After the wedding, they would create a happy home, maybe even with a cute baby.She would envy that child, growing up in a complete family with b

If it weren't for the distance between them, Suzy would have felt as though his spit was landing on her face."The compensation amount is primarily based on the area of your land use certificate. The company has shown the greatest sincerity." Suzy had no choice but to try reasoning with him.The man snorted. "Don't think I don't know. My house is right at the entrance of the resort! As long as I don't move, your project will be stalled. Instead of persuading me, why don't you go back and convince your boss? I want one million. Pay up, and I'll leave!"Hearing this, Suzy didn't get angry but instead laughed. "Sir, it's clear someone has fed you some information. But did this person also mention that if the negotiation doesn't work out, the resort plans to change the entrance direction?""You... You all are trying to fool me!" Although the man still insisted on the one million demand, his tone lacked the previous confidence and smugness."Well, it looks like this visit was in vain. I won

What Peter said was casual, but to Suzy, it meant something entirely different."Really? Haha... is that so...""Seriously! About two years ago, I had the privilege of meeting Mr. Park. He's really impressive. Even as a man, I couldn't find any faults in him! Tall and handsome, and your daughter does resemble him a bit.""That's quite a coincidence." Suzy was already planning to keep Angela out of sight from anyone in the business world, including colleagues or superiors.Even though she and Liam were worlds apart and unlikely to cross paths, she couldn't guarantee that those around her wouldn't come into contact with him."By the way, I've never met your husband! He must be handsome too, considering how adorable your little Angela is. You should bring him around some time so we can all meet him."Peter genuinely admired the woman before him.She had clawed her way up from the bottom to become a director! DollarMax had faced crises several times, and it was her relentless efforts that
