A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 122: Liam Return to Northorn City
"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

For Suzy's sake, he could even put aside the projects in New Valley!Liam got out of the car. It was clear he hadn't rested well last night; there was a hint of fatigue on his handsome face, and his eyes were tinged with exhaustion."What's wrong?" Grace also noticed her son's unusual demeanor and went over to ask him."Nothing, I have been very busy with work lately, so I slept late." Liam couldn’t be honest with his mother. He turned his gaze to Sophia standing beside him. "Miss Burns, I need to talk to you privately. Is it a convenient time now?"Sophia nodded, smiling. "You arrive just in time to give me a ride to the office. I won't need to drive today! Mrs. Park, Liam is here to fetch me to work, so I'll go with him.""Go ahead!" Grace was particularly happy to see this scene. She was delighted that her son finally showed some interest in Sophia.With his mother around, Liam naturally refrained from saying much more. "Let's go then.""Okay, come back to visit me after work.""A

Liam clearly didn't want to entertain her remarks, his brows furrowing."Do you think Suzy likes you?" Sophia suddenly threw out the question.He pursed his lips. "That's irrelevant to this matter.""How is it irrelevant? It's entirely relevant! She clearly has no feelings for you, yet she's willing to sign agreements with you for money, betraying the fundamental values of marriage. What else wouldn't she sell?""Sophia!"For the first time in their many years of acquaintance, Liam called her by her name with such severity.The atmosphere in the car seemed to freeze, and neither of them spoke further.Sophia turned her head to look out the window, striving to maintain her composure and avoiding a real argument with Liam at this juncture."We should leave. Your mother must be watching from behind, let's not let her see any disagreement between us," Sophia lowered her tone, her plea evident.Liam glanced at her through the rearview mirror.Sure enough, Grace was still watching from the e

Wendy was also left speechless by the retort, stealing a glance at Suzy."Give me some time, I'll definitely find it.""How long do you need? Far East Corporation isn't playing around! I may give you more time, but they might not be willing to wait for us!”Suzy clenched her fists. "Ten days.""I'll give you three days at most! If you can't find it, I'll have to publicly announce that it was you who leaked the technical drawings," Desmond cut to the chase.With three problematic situations already facing the company this year, and now this issue with Suzy, he was considering ways to turn his luck around. It truly felt like a cursed year!As he stormed out, Wendy lightly tugged at Suzy's sleeve."What should we do? Can we make it in three days?""I'm not sure," Suzy admitted, not knowing where to even begin at this moment.Sophia definitely wouldn't admit it herself!The difference in power between the two sides was staggering.It could be said that there were no circumstances favorable

Suzy recognized Jeffrey's good intentions in wanting to assist her, but she lacked anything of comparable value to offer him in return.When Jeffrey noticed her hesitation, he instinctively reached out and grabbed her wrist. Suddenly, Suzy felt herself pulled backward, stumbling before finding herself in a firm embrace. Startled, she looked up to see Liam. How had he arrived so suddenly?"There's no need for you to trouble yourself, Mr. Palmer. I'll take her from here.”Jeffrey glanced at Suzy, then at Liam. "Are you... Suzy's boyfriend?""No, he's not," Suzy quickly denied before Liam could respond.For a brief moment, time seemed to freeze as Liam remained silent, merely moving his lips slightly without saying a word. Despite Jeffrey's desire to inquire further, Liam had already taken Suzy into his car.The car had traveled a distance before Suzy spoke up, "You can drop me off at the next intersection.""I'll have Transcend Enterprises' investigation department look into this matt

Liam furrowed his brows."To prove innocence, you need evidence. It's not something that can be solved just because Mr. Palmer believes in you.""I know, that's why I'm going to collect evidence now." After speaking, Suzy tugged at the car door and furrowed her eyebrows. "Could you please open the door?""According to what you have said, we'd need either a voice recording of Sophia admitting it herself or direct evidence of her instructing you to send the technical drawings! "There's no point in going to Great Wealth Corporation; they're insisting that they created the technical drawings themselves."In the industry, Great Wealth Corporation's behavior wasn't unprecedented. Everyone knew what kind of company it was. Suzy wouldn't gain anything by going there, and if someone with ill intentions captured video or photos, it would only provide further evidence of her association with the company."Can you make her admit it?" Suzy turned to look at him."... No.""So, all of this is use

Liam understood that she was extremely stubborn; the more she resisted, the less she was open to reason.He took a deep breath and spoke softly, "Why don't you join me for lunch first? I'm sure you didn't have a proper breakfast this morning, and skipping meals could give you a stomachache."As he spoke, he was about to start the car engine again.Suzy wiped away her tears. "I'm not hungry, I want to get out of the car!""Although the agreement doesn't specify that you must work at Park Group, it does state that if I need you, you have to be available at my beck and call," Liam said helplessly, resorting to using their contract."... The agreement mentions 'need,' not specifically having meals together!" "Then come back with me to Easter Bay to fulfill my needs."Suzy nearly bit her tongue off in disbelief."Let's just have lunch." ...Park Group Legal Affairs Office.After finishing up a document, Sophia noticed a notification on the company’s internal server. She raised an eyebrow

" You believe in the principle that the innocent will ultimately prove their innocence, but you can't overlook the possibility that Suzy has been portraying herself as the victim all this time! Don’t you realize the harmful effects of gossip and rumors?”Sophia chuckled at his exaggerated expression and waved her hand dismissively."That's perfect. Since Mrs. Park is back, I can use this time while they're conducting the investigation to take a break. Please don't disrupt my plans."Clive looked at her for a while, sighing deeply."You spoil Liam too much! At this rate, when will he ever appreciate you?""I'm not doing this for his sake. I genuinely care about Mrs. Park; she's like a mother to me."Clive nodded, then suddenly asked, " By the way, why don't you talk about your father much? He and your mother must have had a loving marriage, right? Only then could they have raised such a gentle and considerate daughter like you.""...Yes, they are very loving." However, they weren’t ma

A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 430: He’d Never Lied to Me
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
A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 425: I Suspect Suzy Is Your Mother
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
