suzy sat there quiet, saving nothing 

Liam sa across from her As Suzy’s ex–husband and Penelope’s father, he knew her better than anyone else. He knew exactly how to handle her. 

Liam was the first to speak. “What gives you the right to Lake Penelope?” 

Suzy stared at him. “Don’t you already know why? 

“I’ll tell you, then 11’s because you didn’t pick up Penelope.” 

Liam hurried to explain, “It’s because I’ve been busy with work” 

“Ha!” Suzy scotted. “You don’t have a job now, do you?” 

All the household expenses fell on her 

Most of the time, Suzy blamed herself for not being able to keep Penelope with her and for not spending enough time with her. She believed that by providing Penelope with more material things, she could make up for the lack of a father’s love 

As a result, she never truly complained. Yer, Liam was mistreating her daughter 

After learning that Penelope had been mistreated in Liam’s household, Suzy was determined never to let her stay with him again 

Liam tried to explain, “I’ve been looking for work. Besides, my entire family is against you taking Penelope. Sury, if you were more reasonable, you’d return her to us.” 

Liam threatened, “Otherwise, we’ll sue you.” 

“Go ahead and swe,” Suzy replied calmly. “The court will ask Penelope how she feels and investigate both households to see which environment is better for her. Clearly, my income is higher than youts, and Penelope pieters me. So, you won’t win this battle” 

By the end, Suzy’s tone turned sharp and resolute 

Liam knew Suzy was right. Realizing his approach wasn’t working, he softened his tone. “You promised to let us raise Penelope.” 

Sury didn’t argue. “At that time, I was busy with work and couldn’t care for her properly. I thought you would take good care of her, who would have guessed you’d be so irresponsible? 

“You drop her off at school and never check on thee. Every other child has a parent pick them up, while she’s left waiting alone.” 

“s anger glow. “If you’d just shown a little care, Penelope would have hesitated before leaving with me. You should really think about your own behavior.” 

With that, the grabbed her bag and prepared to leave. 

Liam grabbed her wrist. “You’re not going anywhere if you don’t return Penelope to me!” 

Zane stepped forward, coldly pulling Liam’s hand away from Suzy “Didn’t anyone tell you it’s illegal to interfere with someone’s personal freedom? 

Suzy quietly thanked him before rushing to Pearlope’s side. 

Liam glazed at Zane, but Zane stood firm with his hands in his pockets, meeting his gaze without fear.
