A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 115: You Want to Set Me Up
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

"I'm asking you a question.""Yes, I haven't sent it to anyone else! Only Mr. Shaw and I have access to the core technical drawings for this project.""Understood."With a cold frown, Liam tossed out these words and headed to the bedroom with his phone in hand.Watching his retreating figure, Suzy's lips curled slightly.Counting on Liam to uphold justice in this matter was futile. She would have to rely on herself.She sat back at the computer, tirelessly searching for ways to recover the vanished messages. However, every method she tried seemed futile!Suzy called the service provider again, only to be told that recovery was impossible.Would Sophia easily destroy her future and all her previous efforts?Suddenly, her phone, lying nearby, lit up.It was a message from Jeffrey.However, Suzy couldn't focus. She decided to pack her bags instead, preparing to return to the company overnight to confront Sophia! This matter involved her reputation and future; she couldn't just let it go.

She truly couldn't bring herself to trust him.If it were someone else framing her, perhaps she could choose to trust Liam.However, the one who was framing her was Sophia!Someone who held great influence in Liam's heart, and someone who had made significant contributions to Park Group.Regardless of who weighed the pros and cons, it was clear who they would choose to side with.Would the truth still matter then? Would anyone care? Suzy even suspected that Liam, as the CEO, insisted on getting involved in this matter precisely to destroy the evidence and protect Sophia.Yes, at this moment, she trusted no one.Once the accusation of leaking confidential documents and betraying the company was established, she would carry the accusation for a lifetime."I'm sorry." Suzy left the room after uttering those two words, dragging her suitcase behind her.She bought a plane ticket for the next flight back to Northorn City.While waiting at the airport lounge, she finally took out her phone

Jeffrey had no idea what time Suzy's plane would land, only knowing it was in the early morning, so he came to wait at eleven at night.Before Suzy could even reply to his message, she heard Jeffrey's voice.Looking up, she saw him standing at the pickup area, dressed in a dark coat, looking weary."Suzy, over here!"Without a word, she walked over with her luggage, and Jeffrey naturally took it from her."You must be tired. Get in the car quickly; I'll take you to Wendy's place for a good rest! Tomorrow morning, some friends of mine will come to help you out. They're experts in this field. I’ve contacted them for help because I'm afraid I won't be enough on my own.”Jeffrey's rapid-fire speech at the moment really resembled Wendy's.Yet, in the late night, it gave off a warmth and kindness akin to that of family."What's wrong?"Seeing her hesitation, Jeffrey raised an eyebrow."I... I can't accept your kindness, Mr. Palmer. I can't just accept your help without feeling guilty."He pa

In order to prevent Liam from feeling like she was being difficult, she paused for a moment, then simply responded with "Yes," before setting her phone aside and going to sleep.That night, she somehow dreamt about the moment her father confessed to having an affair and fathering an illegitimate daughter."Yes, she's about the same age as Suzy. She became pregnant within a year of your pregnancy.""If you're willing to accept them into the family, we can stay married. I assure you that moving forward, I will only stay faithful to the both of you. I won't seek another woman.""I wanted a son, but you couldn't give me one even though you're my legal wife! Fine, if you won't agree to divorce, then prepare to be a widow!"Back then, Suzy was still a child. Melissa had her back turned, so Suzy couldn't see her expression. What truly stuck with her were those three sentences from her father, and the disdainful and repulsive look in her father's eyes when he glanced at her.Later on, her moth

"Miss Burns has some serious issues! You can't choose your appearance; it's all in your parents' genes," Wendy scoffed. "If I ran into someone who wasn't my relative but resembled me, I'd embrace her like a sister! That's fate for you."Blood relations...Wendy's casual remark made Suzy furrow her brows."What's wrong?""Nothing." She shook her head.Before Suzy could say anything else, her phone rang.Glancing at it, she saw it was Alec calling."Hello?""Tell me everything about the whole situation, and I'll help you think of a solution." Alec got straight to the point. "I thought about it yesterday. Miss Burns has a lot of support within the Park Group. No matter what her motives are for trying to frame you, not many people will believe you! Your chain of evidence has to be solid enough to leave them speechless.""Yeah, I know.""Mr. Park already knows about this. It's clear he's in a tough spot, torn between preserving your friendship and..." Alec paused, "...and Miss Burns' cruc

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

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
