A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 150: Park Group Decides to Fire Suzy
"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

Liam paused abruptly, without saying a word, as he took Alec's phone and glanced at it.The announcement was glaringly bold, with a firm and cutting tone."Mr. Park, this...""Notify the website immediately to take down this announcement."He was aware that Suzy must have seen it. It had been a while since she hadn't reached out to him. It appeared that the small amount of trust he had worked hard to build had also been shattered.With one troublesome matter after another, Liam realized that he needed to swiftly resolve the issue regarding Sophia.He boarded a plane from the airport. During the journey, he attempted to call Suzy, but there was no answer.After a moment of hesitation, Liam dismissed the idea of sending her a message.Given the current situation, it was likely that his mother had involved his father as well. She seemed determined to make Sophia her daughter-in-law, and for that purpose, she was willing to do whatever it took.Liam didn't know the exact reason behind her

In William's eyes, this was already the biggest compromise he would make for Liam.He never expected his son to rebel like this. Even during Liam's teenage years, he never caused any trouble. But now, all because of Suzy, his actions shocked everyone in the Park family.Liam didn't respond to his father's remarks but simply stated he was boarding and hung up. On the journey back, he remained silent, his dark eyes fixed on the window. The atmosphere around him felt chilly, leaving everyone wondering what he was thinking....As soon as the company announcement was made, the HR department contacted Suzy."Miss Chase, please come in within three days to process your resignation.""So, the reason you're firing me is because, after investigation, you've concluded I leaked company information, is that it?" Suzy's tone was assertive, far from that of someone being dismissed for wrongdoing, which made the HR representative seem a bit unsure after her strong rebuttal."This decision comes fro

Liam pressed his lips tightly together. Although he didn't speak, the atmosphere plummeted to its lowest...Suzy had never seen him like this before, and she instinctively took a step back.Seemingly realizing he had startled her, Liam's handsome face softened slightly, his voice becoming low and hoarse."I don't agree.""Mr. Park, I understand that this situation has put you in a difficult position, so I'll handle the rest myself. I haven't done anything wrong, and I'm sure I can find a way to prove it." However, with Park Group's decision to terminate her, she would undoubtedly find herself on the opposing side in arbitration or court proceedings in the future.So, Suzy wanted to clarify her relationship with Liam first."Suzy, come home with me." Liam's tone was gentle and patient as if coaxing a stubborn wife who had run away from home, a stark contrast to his earlier coldness.This situation unfolded right at Wendy's doorstep, making Suzy aware that she couldn't stay there with

Suzy furrowed her brows. She wasn’t concerned about that!"I know, you've mentioned it before.”If Liam had feelings for Sophia, many things might not have occurred. However, it appeared that Sophia still harbored resentment toward her."Let's eat first," Liam murmured, barely audible, closing the topic again.He realized that Suzy wasn't in the right frame of mind to listen to him at the moment. She wasn't capable of making rational decisions, and the mention of termination and divorce came out too hastily. So, he chose to ignore them....Two guards stood outside Grace's hospital room, vigilant for any more impulsive actions from her.Confident that Liam wasn't at the hospital, Sophia sneaked in to visit Grace."Mrs. Park, why did you do something so silly..." Sophia hugged Mrs. Park as soon as she entered. "If Liam doesn't want to marry me, that's okay. Please don't pressure him anymore. And please, take care of yourself! I don't want to lose someone who has always cared for me."

Sophia didn't respond to Grace's "plea."She simply lowered her eyelids, appearing convincingly torn."Mrs. Park, if we do this, Liam will resent us... He might be even more reluctant to marry me, and we might not even stay friends.""I understand, I understand everything! You don't need to do anything. Since I’ve promised you this marriage, I'll handle everything ahead." Grace naturally understood Sophia's concerns.If Sophia intervened too much in breaking up Liam and Suzy, even if she were to marry Liam later on, Liam would still harbor resentment towards her as his wife! He would see her as a troublemaker, thinking she had ulterior motives.This wouldn't be conducive to the development of their relationship as husband and wife in the future!However, if Grace were to handle all these dirty deeds, it would be different! Liam couldn't keep holding a grudge against his own mother.Sophia succeeded in her goal today: she manipulated Grace into aiding her plan to separate Liam and Su

"Mr. Park, I understand you're trying to be fair, and I appreciate that. But I'd prefer to deal with this issue by myself."Liam found the term "Mr. Park" rather unsettling."Suzy, we are husband and wife."...Observing her silence, Liam felt an indescribable sensation. They stared at each other for a long time, neither breaking eye contact. Finally, Suzy spoke, "Liam, the gap between us is just too big.""I am willing to get closer to you to fill the gap."Suzy shook her head. "Can you really disregard your parents for me?"Liam pursed his lips, wanting to respond, but remained silent.Suddenly, Suzy's phone rang.Glancing down, she saw her mother's number.She answered immediately, and Melissa’s voice came through. "You mentioned you registered your marriage with someone named Jeffrey Palmer. So why did a woman called Mrs. Park visit me today, claiming to be his mother, and asking my daughter to stop contacting her son?"Suzy's heart sank."Mom...""Come see me right now.”With th

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
