Chapter 261: Checking Out Tomorrow

She needed to start considering a transfer out of the country after finishing this project. Although domestic positions offered higher salaries due to the demand for talent, she had to prioritize her child.Suzy opened the window, hoping the breeze would clear her mind.Suddenly remembering her sleeping child, she quickly shut it and slipped on her shoes to go downstairs.Windsting City was surrounded by mountains, so the night breeze carried the fresh scent of trees and grass, a crisp fragrance that seemed to clear her mind.Just as she was about to step outside, the hotel receptionist called out, "Miss Chase! Are you here to pick up something?"Something?Suzy was puzzled. "What is it?""A gentleman left this here for your daughter," the receptionist said, handing over a bag of candies.Suzy had completely forgotten about it.She peeked inside the bag, finding it full of various candies.She smiled wryly and took a deep breath.It seemed Angela had gone out to ask for candy again, an

Chapter 262: Suzy Got Beaten

Seeing Suzy, the angry holdout resident quickly strode over, grabbed her phone without a word, and smashed it to the ground.Instantly, the phone shattered into pieces.At that moment, Suzy realized she had underestimated the severity of their hostility."You’re deliberately destroying someone else’s property; that’s illegal.""And what about you cheating the people out of their money? How much is a phone worth anyway?"Suzy frowned. "If you think you’re in the right, why not let me call the police? You should want the police here to give you justice!""Who knows if you’ve bribed them! You’re all in it together!" The holdout turned and shouted to the crowd, "Everyone, it's this woman! She colluded with insiders to cheat me, and she's the supervisor. She must have pocketed our money!"Hearing this, several strong men immediately rushed at Suzy.It was early in the morning, and the security guards hadn’t arrived yet. Peter tried to intervene, but his small frame was no match for the robu

Chapter 263: The Kind Person Who Saved Her

Who was he?Suzy didn’t have time to think about it as sharp pain radiated from her head, causing her to frown deeply.The doctor saw her condition and quickly administered pain relief.A few minutes later, the young nurse who had left earlier rushed back in. "That gentleman said he knows.""He’s not coming?""No, he’s already left."Listening to the nurse and the doctor, Suzy felt something was off, but before she could say anything, a wave of nausea hit her.After a while of struggling, the little strength she had left was drained, and she fell back into a deep sleep.When she woke up again, she found herself in a regular hospital room.Opening her eyes, the first thing she saw was Peter, with a bandage on his forehead, sitting on a nearby chair. Ryan was also there, his tall, rugged figure and deep-set features filled with worry."Thank God you’re awake!"Seeing her open her eyes, Ryan immediately stepped to her bedside.Suzy felt a bit dizzy, but thankfully, the pain was gone, like

Chapter 264: Did Liam Come

Ryan said, "Check if there are any security cameras. If we can find him, I want to personally thank him on behalf of our company! If it weren't for him, the consequences could have been disastrous."The two of them continued talking, not noticing that Suzy's thoughts had drifted.A tall, thin man.Could it be... him?Before losing consciousness, she thought she heard a familiar voice, gentle and reminiscent of years ago. She had assumed it was a hallucination.Liam should be abroad, getting married. How could he be here saving her?But Peter's words made her heart race.A strange intuition surged within her..."Mr. Watts, did the investment company send any updates today? Did anyone come to inspect the site?"Peter was taken aback. "No, don't worry! We won't let the investment company see this, and it won't affect the project's progress."Suzy's lips moved slightly. "Are you sure... absolutely sure?""Of course! If someone from the investment company came without my knowledge, then I w

Chapter 265: Room 905

Before the receptionist could hand over the business card, Liam averted his gaze."No need."He didn't want to remember anything from this trip to Windsting City. Having made his decision, he resolved to forget even the little girl.As he walked away, the receptionist sighed deeply."Sigh... I should have been brave enough to ask if he was single!"Once in the car, Liam kept his head down, reviewing the project contracts sent by the company. Recently, due to some issues at the branch office, the acting CEO had been involved in a scandal with compromising photos of him and his female secretary, leading to a plummeting stock price and stalled investment projects. Someone needed to clean up the mess.At the airport, Alec called. "Mr. Park, do you intend to replace the acting CEO or...?""He disregarded the company's image and committed acts that might lead to criminal charges. The Park Group cannot retain someone with such a blemish.""Who do you have in mind to replace him?"The position

Chapter 266: Move Abroad with Angela

Liam could guess that Alec would be stunned when he saw the message.After all, this request didn't seem like something he would propose! But he always felt a connection with that little girl and thought they would meet again....Suzy was at the hospital until the evening when Wendy called. Realizing she couldn't hide it any longer, she mentioned her hospitalization.Not long after, Wendy arrived at the hospital with Angela, bustling in and exclaiming, "Tell me which bastard hit you!""Shh, this is a hospital! Keep your voice down." Suzy quickly gestured with her finger, then smiled at her. "I'm fine, see? I'm alive and well.""You got beaten up and still say you're fine! Suzy, you should quit this job. It's dangerous. You shouldn't keep working here!"Wendy stood at the bedside, hands on her hips, looking like she was ready to avenge the demolition squad.Suzy knew she was worried about her, but..."Wendy, I need money to recover that footage. If I don't earn, I lose the right to kno

Chapter 267: Liam’s Fiancée

Wendy followed her gaze and looked in the same direction."Who is it?""I don't know," Suzy replied, feeling a bit puzzled.There was only one patient in this room, herself, so the doctor must have specifically come to see her. However, instead of coming in, he stood sneaking around at the door and left immediately after making eye contact. It was very strange."Maybe he thinks you're too beautiful and wants to date you?""You're overthinking it." Suzy sighed, not telling Wendy about her "hallucination" of Liam showing up to save her.The more she thought about it, the more impossible it seemed, not even a 1% chance."Anyway, I've told Jeff about your plan to leave the country! He'll take care of us. You know why he's been single all these years, right?"Suzy certainly knew.But she had made her intentions clear. As for Jeffrey's feelings, she couldn't influence them....Liam returned to the Park Group headquarters. Before he could meet with the shareholders, Clive rushed up to him."

Chapter 268: Can You Bear to Lose Suzy

Liam didn't respond to Clive's remark, but his mind couldn't focus on work anymore."I've known you for so long, Liam. Besides Suzy, you've never made exceptions for anyone! You're always meticulous, even strict with yourself. So don't try to fool me. Be honest, did you get back together with Suzy? Did you remarry?""No.""So you're not actually getting married. It's just a cover." Clive hit the nail on the head, leaving Liam speechless.Seeing Liam's silence, Clive sighed. "I know what you're thinking. Your mom is pushing you to marry Sophia, but you don't want to, so you're putting on this act to make them give up. You want to show them that you'll never marry Sophia, right?""I don't want to be pestered anymore."Over the years, countless women had tried to get close to him, wanting to connect with him. Some even waited outside his office, desperately seeking his contact information.By announcing his marriage, Liam hoped to end it once and for all."So you're really not back togeth

Chapter 269: She’s Married and Have a Child

Liam's tone was so intimidating that even his long-time friend, Clive, was startled by his demeanor."Her... her mother passed away..."Liam abruptly stood up from his chair. "When did this happen?""It was some time ago..." Clive didn't dare lie to him, so he spoke ambiguously, hoping Liam wouldn't probe further into the truth.Though Clive hadn't been directly involved in Suzy's mother's death, he had some suspicions.He didn't intentionally hide it from Liam; it was just that... after all, the other party was his biological mother! Even if Liam found out, what could he do? Other than endless regret and guilt towards Suzy, there was nothing else he could do. It was better not to know anything."How did you find out about this?" Liam immediately sensed something was off.He had asked Alec to investigate for years without finding any trace of Suzy. If not for a chance encounter, he might still be unaware of her whereabouts! But Clive knew about her mother's death!That meant...Suzy's

Chapter 270: He’ll Get Jealous

"Wendy has a daughter?""I don't even want to know about Suzy, let alone her.""I understand, Mr. Park."After hanging up, Liam sat back in his chair, staring intently at his phone.Clive was right. If he wanted to sever ties, he needed to do it completely. He shouldn't care or inquire about anything....Due to the backlog of work, Suzy didn't stop working even in the hospital.She didn't let Wendy and Angela stay at the hospital. It wasn't a good place for Angela to be.After sending them away, Suzy opened her phone and logged into the company's account.Over the years, to avoid Liam, she had only marked her work account with the name "Suzy" without her full name. There were so many people with the name Suzy, Liam shouldn't be able to find her.Or perhaps, he never actually looked for her.Suzy still clearly remembered Liam's words, "I hate you." They echoed in her ears many times during sleepless nights.She knew Liam was deeply hurt by her."Beep beep!"A message from Peter appeare
