Upon hearing Liam's clear statement, not only did Sophia fall into silence on the other end of the line, but even Grace didn't expect her son to express himself so definitively in front of her!Grace’s greatest assurance was her son's filial piety.She believed her son was just trying to assert himself, but as long as she persisted, he would surely comply with her wishes."Both of you don't need to discuss anything privately anymore. It's pointless," Liam said before ending the call with Sophia.The atmosphere in the hospital room became quiet, descending to an icy silence.After a while, Grace moved her lips slightly, "For that woman, you're willing to disregard your mother's well-being?""Mom, I can compromise on everything else.""There's nothing else! I won't allow this Suzy woman to enter the Park family! It's either her or me!" Grace's emotions escalated, and before she could finish her sentence, her breathing became rapid.Her heart monitor emitted a piercing sound, prompting t

"What are you planning to do?" Suzy asked in a trembling voice.For Suzy, Liam's social status was ultimately too far out of reach, creating undeniable pressure and leaving her feeling insecure.Because even if she tried every trick in her book, she couldn't really hurt Liam; it was all futile. However, if he chose to retaliate against her, it would be effortless.Furthermore, she had to compete with Sophia, which was also proving to be a strenuous effort.Her reactive response hurt Liam a bit."I will never hurt you, nor your family.""My mother must avoid any emotional stress because of her illness. Please don’t meet with her." Suzy was now truly afraid to let Liam meet Melissa!That would be the end of her."Suzy, can you not..."Liam’s voice trailed off midway, the rest swallowed by silence.Suzy waited a moment before saying, "Go on.""Can you not think of divorce first whenever a problem arises?"Liam's voice was soft, filled with a mix of emotions, making it hard to pinpoint wh

William raised his hands, about to act impulsively.However, when he saw the determination in his son's eyes, he suddenly backed down.Even if he were to kill Liam today, he knew Liam wouldn't compromise."Son, your mother's life is in your hands now."...Liam would rather his father hit him, and curse at him, but when he spoke with a pleading tone, Liam truly didn't know how to respond."She had a difficult time giving birth to you. I still remember her crying so painfully in the hospital and insisting she must save you!" William looked at him, his gaze heavy. "I understand you're reluctant to give up. You love that girl deeply, but Grace is your mother! She brought you into this world, she risked her life for you! Are these things less important than the girl you love?""Isn't there any way to make her accept Suzy?" In fact, Liam was persistent because he felt that his mother simply hadn't yet understood Suzy.Once she truly got to know Suzy, she would like her!William sighed."

Suzy stood next to the bench in the garden, considering speaking several times, but in the end, she remained silent."Do you truly believe that, with your abilities and resources, you can prove that Miss Burns framed you?" "I believe justice will prevail.""You, your family, and your friends may believe in your innocence, but no HR department in any investment bank will believe you! If you're dismissed for this reason, no one will care whether you're innocent or not."Alec had just spoken the entire truth.After years in the workplace, he had seen all sorts of schemes and plots!It was not uncommon for a superior to intentionally create trouble for a subordinate due to personal grievances. As a result, those unlucky ones might bear the burden for the rest of their lives, while luckier ones may only witness their superior receiving a mild reprimand from management before the subordinate leaves the industry due to the company's overall reputation.Top of FormRegardless of the outcome,

Suzy reflected on the situation and realized that Clive was speaking the truth! While she was being harassed by Steven from Far East Corporation, Liam unexpectedly showed up and rescued her!Amidst the chaos, Suzy hadn't dwelled much on why Liam had shown up right on time, nor had she considered it!"And, after the incident, Liam, to prevent others from gossiping about you, gave up the opportunity to use this incident to pressure Far East Corporation. “He was worried that if Far East Corporation got upset, they might further disclose the incident of your harassment." Clive paused, looking at her. "I think you should know that once a girl's reputation gets tarnished, it can have lifelong consequences."That would mean she'd carry a peculiar stigma for the rest of her life! Despite her innocence, she'd become the subject of gossip, with some fabricating reasons, such as accusing Suzy of intentionally seducing Steven.Having spent a considerable amount of time in the workplace, Suzy un

She didn't catch the rest of what Sophia said, then Liam's voice came through."My mom woke up. I'll call you back after I settle things on my end.""Okay."Suzy gazed at her phone's dark screen, experiencing inner chaos like never before.Actually, it would've been better if Clive hadn't looked for Suzy and told her all those things because she was already determined to divorce Liam and end their relationship!However, after hearing what Clive told her, she suddenly didn't know how to bring up the topic of divorce with Liam anymore.He had been incredibly attentive to her needs, even in the face of his mother's objections; he remained steadfast and refused to back down. On the other hand, it was always so easy for her to initiate a break-up.Just like Liam had said...Whenever she encountered something, she just wanted to give up completely and draw clear boundaries.She lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, every moment spent with Liam replaying in her mind.His tenderness, his tho

Suzy's head throbbed from Wendy's shouting. Just as she was about to explain the situation, Wendy's attention shifted."Did you two sleep together?""Um...""How is he down there? Is it huge?" Wendy blinked, clearly curious.Suzy hadn't expected her to ask that and instinctively froze. "Huh?""What's with the hesitation? I've told you before, I'm curious about how Mr. Park performs in bed. He looks so reserved like he's warning everyone to keep their distance with his handsome face.“Do you think a guy like that might have a hidden side? Maybe he's particularly... proactive when it comes to intimacy?"Proactive...Liam could be considered proactive, right?"Wait a minute! Wendy, I'm talking about something serious here.” How did the conversation suddenly turn to this kind of topic again?Wendy stuck out her tongue and grinned. "I have no other way of finding out, so I have to ask you! But back to the point, if the person you’re being conflicted about turns out to be Mr. Park, I sugg

It was clear that Liam hadn’t given up; even Wendy could see it. Suzy might have been the only one who didn't get it."So, are you saying I shouldn't divorce him?""Of course not! If Mr. Park hasn't brought it up and he's still holding on, why give up?" Wendy patted her shoulder. "I can see it too. Your path together won't be easy, not just because of Mr. Park's mother, but also because of your own mom's reservations. “But since you're together, give it your all. Even if... even if it doesn't work out in the end, you won't regret it when you look back, right?"Suzy pressed her lips together, her voice slightly hoarse."But my mom's illness...""Suzy, you've spent your whole life being responsible, earning money, supporting the family, paying for medical bills. It's time for you to live for yourself!"Suzy blinked, remaining silent for a long while.…When Grace woke up again, the doctor was contemplating putting a sign up in her room to remind others not to agitate her.

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

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

"...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
