A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 102: Meeting Liam
She didn’t request to get her seat changed in the end because she was afraid of troubling the teacher. Since Suzy was young, she had always been afraid of inconveniencing others. Since her teachers had taken good care of her in school, Suzy felt she shouldn’t be demanding."Does this include you?" Alec asked, shifting his gaze to her face.Suzy shook her head repeatedly. "Not me. In junior high, besides attending classes, I had to work part-time in the morning and do night shifts at an internet café after evening study sessions. My schedule was even tighter than it is now!"Thinking back, maybe that's why her homeroom teacher felt comfortable assigning her to sit next to Liam! Otherwise, any other girl would probably have been too distracted to focus on studying."What? How old were you back in junior high?" "I gotta earn a living, no matter how old I am." Suzy shrugged. When it came to the hardships of the past, she was just grateful that she had persevered through them, rather t

Soon, Liam also spotted Suzy and began striding towards her with long strides.As he drew closer, Suzy felt an urge to turn and run away.No one accompanied him to back to the country, leaving him all alone.When Liam reached Suzy, he stood still, his presence overwhelming her almost to the point of suffocation.Suzy noticed him tightly pressing his thin lips together, his thick eyebrows slightly furrowed. The white bandage on his handsome face still stood out, while he appeared somewhat displeased as if pondering how to scold her.Suzy instinctively took his luggage, her face stiff, unsure of what to say first.In the end, it was Liam who sighed lightly and spoke up."Why won't you take the initiative to call me when I didn’t contact you?"Suzy hadn't expected him to say this. She was stunned, unable to utter a word."Forget it, give me the car keys." Liam reached out his hand towards her, his tall figure completely blocking the light that should have fallen on her."Huh?"“Do you pl

"What?" Suzy still looked perplexed, completely out of the loop.To be honest, she even wondered if Liam had hit his head during the accident because he was saying things she couldn't understand."I’ll give you some more time. Let's head back to the hotel," Liam replied, his words laden with a sense of resignation.Suzy blinked, noticing his hesitation. Finally, mustering her courage, she asked directly, "Mr. Park, are you... planning to terminate the contract? You can tell me frankly; I won't object."She was absolutely willing to step aside for him and Sophia!Liam rubbed his brow, feeling the weight of uncertainty.Clive was right; he didn't know how he got himself into this mess.Even he couldn't fathom why he insisted on tasting this bitterness.…The car arrived at the hotel.Alec and several assistants were already there to greet them.Seeing Liam stepping out from the driver's seat, they were quite surprised."Suzy, weren't you supposed to... pick up Mr. Park?" How did Liam e

“Argh…”Suzy was lost in thought and ended up pressing too hard while putting on the medicine.Instead of aiding the healing process, she inadvertently caused Liam's nearly healed wound to bleed again!"You're bleeding! I'll go find a doctor for you!"Suzy was about to rush off in panic, but Liam quickly grasped her wrist and pulled her close with his other arm."I'm fine.""You're not fine! Your wound has reopened! I'm so sorry, so sorry... It wasn't on purpose!" She whirled around frantically, like a child who had done something wrong.Liam smiled helplessly, always at a loss when it came to her."It's just a small wound, don't worry.""But I—""Haven't you had dinner yet? I'll have the hotel send something up." He gently interrupted her, then suddenly coughed a bit awkwardly. "You should take a shower first."Suddenly, Suzy realized their close proximity could easily lead to... complications. And indeed, she noticed that his private part had turned hard..."Okay! I, I'll take a sh

They both lay in bed, with her feeling his large hand on her waist and listening to his steady breathing.Did this mean that the contract was still in effect?Tossing and turning for almost the entire night, Suzy finally drifted off to sleep, exhausted.The next day when she woke up, the man beside her was gone.Suzy walked out of the bedroom in her pajamas, and the breakfast left by Liam in the dining room seemed to suggest that the unpleasantness between them had never happened!Suddenly, her phone, which was placed beside the bed, rang.She hurried over to check, and it was Wendy."Did you see the message I sent you yesterday?" "Ah... I was too busy yesterday. Lots of things came up on the business trip.""I'm asking if the man you mentioned is Mr. Park." Wendy had been waiting for her reply the whole time!Suzy felt a pang of anxiety, "You're quite daring to think that.""So, it's not Mr. Park then?" Wendy visibly relaxed."You really scared me! I thought you didn't reply because

Below the building of Park Group in Northorn City.Sophia's wound hadn't been healing well because she went on a business trip shortly after her surgery.As a result, Clive immediately took her to the hospital for a dressing change and thorough examination after picking her up from the airport. They then returned to the office once it was confirmed that there were no major issues."Park Group won't go bankrupt just because you’re away for a day," Clive couldn't help but tease as he saw her rushing back to the office.Sophia smiled. "Liam established numerous connections with overseas executives during this trip. “They place high value on the strict adherence to contracts, and they also prioritize evaluating the legal department's capabilities during due diligence. I can't prevent him from pursuing these opportunities.""Does Park Group still need recognition from overseas partners for its current achievements?""Those who are eager to collaborate naturally don't need to, but if we enc

When the thick stack of brown paper bags was handed to her, Suzy had already sensed that she would need to visit the ophthalmologist upon returning to back to the country."You must check carefully, don't make any mistakes! If I have time after I finish my work, I might be able to help you double-check. If not, you'll have to submit this directly." "I understand."Suzy took a deep breath, put on her glasses, and began cross-checking the market research data from the first section.She remained focused for several hours, with her head down.Only when Liam, Alec, and their team concluded their meeting and arrived at her room did she finally get a brief break.Suddenly, several unfamiliar colleagues entered Suzy's room, making her feel a bit uneasy. She was also worried that sharp-eyed individuals might notice she hadn't slept over last night.But Liam seemed completely unconcerned about such matters. He walked over to her directly, his gaze falling on the pile of documents."Just do you

Liam came out after showering and saw her looking perplexed.He walked over, using a towel to dry his still-dripping hair."Could you go to my room and get the medicine from the table? The room password is 0825.” Hearing his voice, Suzy quickly nodded, "Sure, Mr. Park."Since the Park Group had invested in this hotel, Liam had his own exclusive suite, also known as the Presidential Suite, which was not open for rental to other guests. Naturally, he personally set the password for it.As Suzy went to fetch the medicine, she couldn't help but think.The fact that his password hadn't changed meant Liam's feelings towards Sophia probably hadn't changed either. Most likely, they had just had another disagreement!Although... her plan to terminate the contract might have fallen through, she couldn't help but feel a sense of relief in her heart.Suzy was getting confused.On one hand, she wanted to leave Liam and Sophia's complicated relationship world as soon as possible and no longer be an

This statement could easily be misunderstood.Noticing the sudden defensiveness in Suzy's eyes, Liam softened his tone, abandoning his aggressive stance and returning to his usual gentlemanly warmth."It's just a dinner.""And then you'll let me see B7?""Yes."Suzy had no other options.She crossed the street to Jeffrey's car and tapped on the window.Before she could speak, Jeffrey anxiously said, "Suzy, I can't reach B7 anymore!""Liam took him.""...Then I'll go confront Liam!"Suzy quickly stopped him. "He's been acting strangely today. Don't provoke him! Confronting Liam head-on isn't wise. You should go home. I'll handle him.""You want me to leave you alone with Liam? He just—""Jeff, I'm so close to the truth! I can't afford any setbacks.""But if Liam finds out why you're meeting B7, he'll definitely intercept the evidence! Do you really think he'll choose you over his parents?"Of course not.Even Suzy understood that Liam would likely protect his parents.As their son, it w
A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 429: You Won’t Want to Know the Truth
Suzy remembered the last time she heard him say those words was when Melissa insisted she bring a boyfriend to the hospital.His tone then was just like now—gentle, heartfelt, as if he wanted to drown her in his affection…Unfortunately, the first time, she didn't trust his love.And this second time… she couldn't believe he would turn against his own family."Liam, you won't want to know the truth.""I do." Liam gently cradled her face, his eyes firm and unwavering. "Suzy, tell me."He didn't want Suzy to push him away whenever something happened. He didn't want to be left to investigate everything on his own. He wanted to be her support, to hear her out, whether it was bitterness, grievances, or anger, and then face it together.Countless possibilities flashed through Suzy's mind, and finally, as if waking from a dream, she pushed Liam forcefully."The truth is, I hate you, and I hate everyone in your family. I want you to stay away from me! I've fallen in love with Jeffrey and—"Her

Suzy couldn’t bring herself to continue. After tasting the blood, she stopped biting and merely struggled, unable to bear hurting him again.It wasn't until Jeffrey came over and punched Liam on the shoulder that he finally stepped back from Suzy. Liam staggered a few steps, just barely managing to regain his balance as Jeffrey, consumed by anger, readied himself to strike again.Seeing this, Suzy quickly intervened to stop Jeffrey."Jeff, don't! Don't fight!"He halted his fist just in time, looking at Suzy.Her lips were visibly red and slightly bloody, showing how intense Liam's kiss had been.It was clear this was a deliberate display."Suzy, he bullied you!""No, he didn't! Jeff, go back to the car. I'll come to you in a moment!"Suzy couldn't let them actually start fighting because Jeffrey was no match for Liam.Whether in strength or background..."Suzy!"Jeffrey, feeling infuriated, looked up at Liam standing a short distance from Suzy.Liam wiped the blood from his lips with
A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 427: Liam’s Aggressive Kiss
Previously, Liam hadn't continued investigating the death of Suzy's mother because he believed Suzy and Jeffrey were happily together. As an outsider, he thought intervening would only make Suzy resent him more.At that time, he truly wanted to let go of Suzy, start over, and completely say goodbye to the past.Based on these reasons, Liam didn't pursue the matter.But clearly, he was wrong—terribly wrong!He had taken 99 steps toward Suzy, only to halt just shy of the hundredth!...Unaware of all this, Suzy was busy organizing her materials, eagerly anticipating her meeting with Jeffrey to see B7 after work.Having finally managed to contact this elusive network hacker, she couldn't afford to miss the opportunity.Even if Liam canceled her entire month's salary, she had to go tonight.It had taken her four years of earning and saving money and seeking contacts to reach B7.She needed the restored surveillance footage to uncover the truth about her mother's death. She knew she had onl
A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 426: Don’t Sell Me Out
Liam's voice carried a hint of helplessness, starkly contrasting his usual demeanor.Seeing him like this, Arthur felt a pang of discomfort. After some thought, he tentatively reached out and grasped a few of Liam's fingers.Liam's eyes shot up to meet his.What did this gesture mean?Arthur was acknowledging what Liam had just said!He was confirming Liam's suspicions.When Liam spoke again, his throat felt tight, and his voice trembled. "She... she's really your mother, isn't she?"Arthur instinctively wanted to play dumb, but he knew that his acting skills couldn't fool Liam. Moreover, the sadness and disappointment in Liam's eyes seemed genuine.After a few seconds of contemplation, Arthur decided to stop resisting. "You mustn't tell her I told you."Liam's entire body stiffened. Despite all his suspicions, hearing the truth confirmed left him shocked and speechless.Suzy... she had given him a child...No!Not just one!"You have a sister too, and she's my child as well?"Arthur

Liam furrowed his brows and turned to face her directly, their gazes locking."I am not lying to you."His eyes were so intense, so sincere as if they were trying to draw Suzy in completely!She began to regret bringing up this conversation with Liam, realizing she was now in a situation she couldn't easily escape.Suzy cleared her throat, feigning calmness, and averted her gaze. "Mr. Park, let's talk about work.""Alright, let's talk about work," Liam agreed readily. "You're working overtime today.""Liam—"Suzy was so angry she was grinding her teeth. "What exactly do you want? You said you hated me when we divorced. What, has the high and mighty Mr. Park decided to go back on his word and, after being dumped once, still intends to shamelessly pursue me?"Her words must have stung, as Liam's handsome face paled, and a hint of rationality returned to his eyes.He had been thrown off balance by Jeffrey's phone call.Hearing Suzy so affectionately tell Jeffrey to pick her up after work
A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 424: Suzy, I’m Not Married
Seeing Arthur like this, Suzy knew she had to play along. "Mr. Park, I'll wait outside then. Let's not upset the child."She expected some reaction from Liam, but he merely nodded. "Alright."Suzy turned and left Easter Bay, feeling increasingly uneasy about Liam's attitude, though she couldn't pinpoint exactly why.If he brought her to see Arthur to test her, why hadn't he done anything suspicious? He had gone straight to the kitchen to cook upon arriving home!What hidden trap could she have missed?With a restless heart, Suzy waited in the car for a while before seeing Liam come out of the house carrying a paper bag.Once in the car, he handed the bag to Suzy."I packed this for you.""No need, skipping one meal won't hurt me. I'll eat after work."Liam glanced at her, his thin lips moving slightly. "You'll be working late tonight, I’ll triple your pay."Hearing about overtime, Suzy quickly protested, "I can't tonight, I have plans!"Jeffrey had finally helped her arrange a meeting
A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 423: We’re Both Adults
"...I-I don't know what you're talking about!"Liam leaned down, his handsome face getting close to hers. "Then what do you mean by ‘leave bite marks’?"Suzy immediately averted her gaze, pretending to be calm. "Are you saying that you and your wife are in a sexless marriage? We're both adults; do I really need to spell it out?""Heh." Liam suddenly laughed. "You're blushing."Suzy was at a loss for words.She looked at the man in front of her as if she didn't recognize him anymore!When did Liam become so shameless?"Since you're already out of the car, come in and have something to eat."After saying that, Liam didn't give her a chance to refuse and walked away.Suzy stood there for a few seconds, took a deep breath, and then followed him.She could only hope that Arthur wouldn’t give anything away when he saw her......As soon as the door opened, she saw Arthur lounging on the sofa, playing with his computer.He knew his "lunch" had arrived as soon as he heard the noise! Slipping o
A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 422: Liam Eavesdropped on Suzy
She realized Liam had a calculated plan for bringing her back to Park Group. On day one, he was already rushing to take her to see Arthur to test her!Recognizing this, Suzy reminded herself to be cautious around this man; who knew where the traps might be?She hoped that when she saw Arthur, she wouldn't give anything away!And... she also wanted to see her son, at least to know how he was doing!"You don't seem surprised that I have a son," Liam suddenly said.Suzy quickly snapped back to reality, shrugged, and acted indifferent. "Should I be surprised? We've been divorced for over four years. You're a normal man. Getting remarried and having children is normal, right?""I announced my marriage this year.""Oh, congratulations!"She had no desire to continue this conversation.Nor did she want to discuss Liam's new wife! That would remind her of the bite marks on his shoulder!"I thought you might be curious."Suzy forced a professional smile. "Mr. Park, we're here for work! This isn
