"Mom, please stay calm. I... I've arranged for a paternity test. Once we have the results, we'll have the evidence we need to bring this matter to light. Otherwise, without evidence, Sophia could easily use it against us and take legal action."After all, Sophia was a lawyer, and they needed evidence to fight against her!"Alright! When the time comes, I will testify for you." Melissa took her daughter's hand and patted it. "You've been through a lot. Our past grievances have ended up affecting you.""Mom, as long as you're safe and sound, I can endure anything."Initially, Suzy preferred to keep this matter private, but Sophia's persistent harassment left her with no option but to address it.…The video was clearly sent to Melissa by Sophia's instruction. Sophia even shared details about her own hospitalization with Melissa, likely to convince her to visit.Since Sophia was confident that they had no evidence against her, she thought no one would believe them.Especially if such matt

However, those words were now futile.Grace wasn't foolish; she had already sensed something amiss from Sophia's words and demeanor."Tell me, who is that woman?" "She's his cleaner! Really!""Don't try to deceive me, Sophia. You should be on my side! How could you side with Liam and hide this from me?" Grace realized that if that woman could enter and leave her son's residence, she must be someone important to him.Initially, Grace thought Liam was too busy with work to clean his place, and since he was a bit of a neat freak, he hired someone. But seeing Sophia's hesitant demeanor today, she was certain that girl wasn't just a cleaner!Sophia lowered her head, lips pressed together in discomfort."I... Mrs. Park, you should ask Liam about it! If I were to speak up, he'd get angry! Liam doesn't like others gossiping about him. He might not get upset with you, but if he knew I told you about this, he’d get mad at me.”Grace stood up suddenly, her expression growing more and more displ

Liam was safeguarding Suzy's interests by serving as a guarantor for Park Group.Did Suzy and Liam share such a close bond despite being classmates? After leaving the meeting room, John was already waiting outside the door. "Mr. Park, your flight ticket has been booked, but the return ticket is still pending. Once you're done with your business in New Valley, just send me a message, and I'll arrange it.""Alright."Liam nodded and strode back to his office. Just as he pushed open the door, he saw his mother sitting on the sofa.Grace looked furious.Liam glanced sideways at John, who promptly closed the door and exited the office."Mom, do you need something?" "If I hadn't returned this time, were you not intending to inform me that you have a lover?" Grace got straight to the point. "The one I saw yesterday, she's not just someone you hired to clean, is she? She's clearly your lover you’re hiding!"Liam didn't like the term "lover," and he furrowed his brows slightly."This is my b

His slender fingertips paused for a moment before he replied, “Alright, I'll pick you up tomorrow after I come back.”Shortly after he hung up the phone, a doctor came out of the emergency room. Upon noticing Liam, he furrowed his brows with concern."Mr. Park, the patient's condition is quite unusual. When she falls into such a deep coma-like state as she is now, she exhibits no will to live. It's likely triggered by some stimulus. I've examined her medical records, and she has severe depression. This is not a condition to be taken lightly!""Yes, I understand." Liam was well aware of this. "How is my mother doing now?""She's temporarily out of danger. Once her vital signs stabilize, she'll be transferred to a regular ward."Liam breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this."You've worked hard.""Saving lives is my duty, Mr. Park, please don't say that." The doctor smiled before preparing to leave. But halfway, he turned back to repeat his advice, "Whatever you do, try not to upset

Grace didn't even consider Suzy to be worthy of a name; she simply referred to her as "the cleaner."Grace believed that by expressing her demand, she could prompt her son's agreement. However, Liam simply gazed back at her, his lips pressed tightly together, showing his unwillingness to yield even in such circumstances and marry Sophia.Both remained silent, their eyes locking in a silent exchange, each lost in their own thoughts. The atmosphere became noticeably tense for a moment, as if time had momentarily frozen.Fortunately, the doctor came over to call him to sign some papers. Liam then softly said, "I'll go check on it," and left the hospital room.Grace's condition was unique; she was susceptible to relapses at any time and in any place.So, after the doctor had him sign the papers, he repeatedly reminded Liam to go along with her wishes, as this self-destructive type of depression had a high mortality rate.When Liam returned to the hospital room, he found someone else there

"I'm sorry," Sophia said, lowering her head as she turned to leave.Grace immediately interjected, "She's also part of the Park family. We don’t need to exclude her from our matters.”Seeing the tension between mother and son escalating, with neither willing to yield, Sophia quickly added, "Mrs. Park, I just remembered I have some unfinished business. “Now that I've seen you awake, I feel relieved. I'll go back to work for now and come back to see you when I'm done."She took a few steps back and then left the room, closing the door behind her.Now, only Grace and Liam were left in the room.The monitoring equipment continued to beep, and the smell of disinfectant filled the air, mingling with an underlying tension.Ever since Grace was rescued from her kidnapping ordeal and developed severe depression, Liam had acquiesced to everything she asked, except for marriage.That was the only thing he couldn't agree to."Why do you think Sophia is unworthy to be with you? What does that clea

"I've liked her for over a decade."Clive was momentarily stunned by his sudden confession, unable to respond.Liam didn't elaborate further and simply drove away from the hospital.Behind him, Clive clicked his tongue, ultimately sighing after pondering for a while.Love is definitely a mystery....In Wendy's house, Suzy listened to Wendy’s constant chatter, but she didn’t register any of Wendy’s words.Her mind was in disarray, leaving her in a state of restlessness."Are you even listening to me?" Wendy nudged her with her elbow.Suzy snapped back to reality. "Huh? Yeah, I heard...""In fact, this matter has already sparked considerable debate within the company. I don't think you should miss out on this wave of attention. Otherwise, as mere employees, it won't be easy for us to bring down a big shot like Sophia. “In my opinion, you should put all the existing evidence online. Although it won't directly prove anything, it can at least sow seeds of doubt.""No, Sophia is a lawyer.

"What does this mean? Didn't the company's upper management say they would investigate thoroughly?"Wendy's fury was evident, her eyes wide as if she were ready to pounce on someone.Compared to her anger, Suzy didn't say a word, just staring intently at the screen.He had said...They would find out the truth and clear his name."Suzy, don't scare me, say something!" Wendy thought Suzy was simply too upset. She quickly reached for her hand, only to notice that Suzy's hand was trembling slightly.Suzy was typically composed. It was Wendy’s first time seeing Suzy in such a state."I'm fine."After a while, Suzy forced a smile at Wendy."Don't pretend you’re fine! We'll go to the company tomorrow. I'll go with you! Damn it, why would they just assume it's you without evidence!""Don't get involved in this matter," Suzy said in a serious tone, lowering her voice, "You worked hard to get into Park Group, don't let my situation drag you down.""What are you talking about? Do you think I wou

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

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
