A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 110: Liam’s Decision
"I can't, but Mr. Palmer can?" Liam furrowed his thick brows, his dark eyes unwilling to miss any subtle change in her emotions.After a few seconds of contemplation, she didn't respond directly, but instead countered, "This time, my mother insisted I bring my boyfriend to meet her, or else she wouldn't proceed with the surgery. "I brought Jeffrey along, thinking it would be enough. But then, out of the blue, my mother insisted that Jeffrey's parents join us in the hospital room, and they had to come right away! If I had brought you instead, could your parents have come?"Liam was speechless because clearly, the answer was no.Both Liam and Suzy were well aware of it.After all, his parents had a noble status."So, do you understand?" Suzy cautiously asked.However, Liam remained silent.He tightened his lips, his expression growing tense as he quickly dressed without bothering with the medicine, then promptly left the room!Suzy watched his retreating figure, sighing softly in the en

Suzy hadn't replied yet when Wendy quickly sent another message."I sense something's wrong with you, Suzy. Aren't I your closest friend?""Of course you are."“Then tell me, who's this guy you've been troubled by? Don't play innocent; your recent actions make it pretty clear you've got a crush.”A crush? She had a crush on Liam?However, Suzy's initial reaction was, would she dare to have a crush on him?She felt like whenever she looked at Liam, it was akin to a devotee's reverence towards a deity; how could she dare to entertain romantic thoughts?"I'm just interested in how guys act in relationships, don't take it so personally."Wendy persisted, "I knew you wouldn't admit it. Anyway, let me remind you, don’t get too involved with men, and don't lose yourself because they show you temporary tenderness and care! “You might think the guy is being nice to you, but he might treat another girl better! Those men who are overly nice to you from the start usually have ulterior motives, it

His expression turned cold as he replied, "It's inconvenient for you to take care of my mom. I'll send someone over to replace you. Thank you for your hard work.""You should know Mrs. Park’s depression is severe. I just want her to be happy." Sophia's words brought back memories for Liam of the year his mother tried to commit suicide in the bathroom, blood splattered everywhere, a vivid and shocking scene...It all started because he refused to follow his family's wishes and get engaged to Sophia.As his mother's severe depression worsened, her grip on everything tightened with each passing day. Even minor setbacks would prompt thoughts of suicide.Last time, she had taken half a bottle of sleeping pills just because the maid who had been taking care of her wanted to resign.The doctor said she was traumatized from being kidnapped and her psyche was fragile. The only treatment was to provide a peaceful environment and comply with her wishes as much as possible.Liam's hand hovered ov

Liam left first because he needed to attend a video conference with the executives after dinner.Once they were gone, Suzy returned to her room to tackle the documents.She had decided not to dwell on things she couldn't understand. She shouldn’t be wasting time! Since Liam was now willing to promote her, and this could be her only chance to climb the ladder quickly in her life, she resolved to work hard and not disappoint his expectations.With her head down, several more hours passed.At one in the morning, as Suzy stretched her numb wrists, there came a sudden knock on the door!Who could it be at this late hour?She approached cautiously and glanced through the peephole.... It was Liam.Suzy hesitated for a few seconds before opening the door, and she could already smell the alcohol on him.Before she could say anything, Liam had already stepped into the bathroom, clearly unable to tolerate the smell of alcohol on himself. He couldn’t avoid drinking at social events.Suzy underst
Last Updated : 2024-04-09A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 114: Far East Core Technology Diagrams
The core technology diagrams for the Far East project...Suzy suddenly remembered that Sophia had asked her for them when she was on a business trip in West City. However, Sophia was so loyal to Park Group, she wouldn't leak confidential information to a partner company, right?"You better think hard. Besides you and me, no one else has access to the project. If this blows up, we're both finished!"As a partner company, leaking core technology data was a huge taboo in the investment industry! If they found out that they did indeed leak the data, no one in the industry would risk collaborating with this company again. Despite FortuneWave being a subsidiary of Park Group, their reputation would be tarnished by such a scandal. Additionally, Suzy's direct involvement could lead to her being blacklisted by the entire industry."I... I sent the technology diagrams to Miss Burns, the Park Group's general counsel. She said she needed them.""Who? Miss Burns?""Yes, the general counsel of P

At that moment, Suzy had a sudden realization. This was all a setup; Sophia wanted to force her out of Park Group, maybe even out of the entire investment banking industry!Furrowing her brows, Suzy stated firmly, "I've made it clear I have no intention of competing with you."Suzy was well aware of her position. However, even so, Sophia clearly had no intention of letting her off the hook."I don't understand what you're talking about," Sophia's voice remained pleasant, almost patient. "If there's nothing else, I have work to attend to.""You understand perfectly well! You're targeting me because of Mr. Park, aren't you? You're trying to set me up!" Suzy didn't want to play along with her, so she decided to confront her directly."Because of Mr. Park? Miss Chase, I suggest you think carefully before speaking," Sophia said, her tone firm, before hanging up.Suzy considered calling back, but as her fingertip hovered over the screen, she refrained. Sophia had declared war on her. Looki

“It was Miss Burns who asked me for it, and she seemed to need it urgently, so I didn't think much about it.""Even if it was Mr. Park asking, you still have to follow the proper procedure!" Alec urged himself to remain calm as he pondered, but this situation seemed unsolvable! Leaking the core diagram required an explanation to Far East Corporation. "Moreover, you haven't known Miss Burns for long. If you were to tell others that she set you up, you must provide a reason for it."Even if Alec were to believe her, the public would want to see evidence, not just her testimony alone.Suzy opened her mouth but couldn't find the words to say anything.She couldn't tell anyone that Sophia's animosity towards her stemmed from her current relationship with Liam."Speak up! It's come to this point, there's no point in hiding anymore! If I'm supposed to help you come up with ideas, you have to tell me everything! Is there any conflict between you and Miss Burns?" "I... don't know," Suzy rep

"The money for my mother's surgery definitely didn't come from this! You can ask someone in the company to investigate!" "You don't have to yell at me like I’m in the wrong here. The company will definitely send someone to investigate. When that happens, you can’t get away with your lies!" Desmond cursed loudly, "I’m really unlucky to have you on my team!”Suzy could even imagine the expression on Desmond's face at this moment as if he wanted to tear her apart.There was a busy tone on the other end, indicating that he might have already smashed his phone.Suzy dug her nails into the flesh of her palm, forcing herself to calm down! The more challenging the situation, the less one could afford to panic.Moreover, she was not the one who leaked the information.She carefully considered that if she wanted to prove her innocence in this matter, she would first have to find the records of Sophia asking her for the core drawings! In that case, Sophia would also be part of the investigation

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
