A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 181: No Right to Talk About Splitting Up
"Alright, it’s settled then! Finally, everything's clear now! Suzy, you're good to go back to work without any worries!" As someone simple, Wendy did not think there was any hidden agenda with what Sophia had posted.Naturally, she thought this issue was finally resolved, not realizing that Sophia's move was not actually an apology.Suzy didn't want Wendy to worry about her, so she just smiled and replied, "Yes.""Are you free this weekend? How about we have a meal together to celebrate? My treat!" Wendy offered eagerly."My mother is having some health issues again, I can't leave her side. Let's wait until I'm done with all this.”Wendy sighed on the other end. "Alright then, I'll wait for you! Let me know if you need any help. Don't be shy. I'm not really busy at work anyway, ever since you left, Mr. Shaw keeps making snide remarks at me, I've been thinking of quitting!""Don't... You're doing well at FortuneWave. Don't let me affect your decisions! Mr. Shaw is actually not a bad man

He aimed to give Suzy, a woman with a sensitive nature who frequently hid her true feelings, the utmost support possible.Suzy smiled as she looked at the man in front of her, who, despite his cold, dignified, and aloof appearance as the CEO of Park Group to others, spoke with such thoughtful and gentle words. The emotions stirring in her heart were beyond words!She felt that even if in the future it turned out her mother was right, that Liam was just toying with her, this moment alone was enough!She didn't want to ponder over anything else....Sophia's abrupt resignation had a temporary impact on the legal department at Park Group. Several contract reviews were delayed because no one felt comfortable approving them without Sophia, and her replacement was particularly cautious.If it weren't for the overload of work, her new replacement would have considered taking medical leave to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.Everyone within Park Group was aware of Sophia's exceptional re

Fortunately, Alec had always treated Suzy well; he hadn't offended this CEO's favorite person.He headed to the legal department to deliver Liam’s message, and the shock on everyone's faces was no less than Alec's initial reaction."Mr. Park is considering disbanding the entire legal department of Park Group?! Mr. Lincoln, are you sure you heard that right?"This decision was crucial!Every subsidiary of Park Group had its own legal department, and there had never been a precedent for hiring external law firms. Was he really about to break this rule just for Suzy?Alec cleared his throat and replied sternly, "Now you should understand Mr. Park's intentions. When you work at Park Group, just focus on your job at hand and do it well.""We understand! We'll make sure not to disappoint Mr. Park.""Good."After delivering the message, Alec turned to leave the legal department, only to find Sophia standing there! Unsure of how long she had been there or if she had overheard their conversatio

"You—""Miss Burns, I won't disturb you from retrieving your belongings. Mr. Park has some matters that require my attention."Top of FormAlec ignored Sophia's furious glare and walked straight into the elevator.Sophia clenched her fists tightly, her body shaking involuntarily with anger!Fine, now everyone was laughing at her! Even Alec was talking down to her! Just wait and see. There would come a day when Liam would personally welcome her back....In the hospital room, Melissa was lying there listening to music, quite contentedly.The CD was a special collection Jeffrey had found for her, which was no longer available in stores."Mrs. Chase, would you like me to massage your legs? I've been experiencing some shoulder and back pain lately due to the various issues at our school, so I visited a masseuse. I found it quite helpful and even learned a few techniques."Melissa had called Jeffrey over, but he hadn't informed Suzy.He didn't want her to worry unnecessarily!"You, a univ

Jeffrey experienced an inexplicable tightness in his chest, feeling oppressed despite being deemed highly successful by many....Upon entering the hospital room, Suzy noticed her mother's mood seemed unusually good.Typically, Melissa would have a stern expression, but today, there was a hint of a smile."Did something good happen?" Melissa's cheerful demeanor lifted Suzy's spirits as she placed the fruits she had bought on the way onto the bedside table."Can't I just be in a good mood for no reason?""Of course." Suzy began peeling the oranges, placing them onto a small plate.Melissa watched her daughter and couldn't resist asking, "Has Mr. Park's mother been bothering you?"Suzy paused for a moment, then shook her head. "No.""See, that’s the attitude of his family! They think their son could never be at a disadvantage, so they don’t even care if he were to fool around for a while!” "Mom!" Suzy frowned. "Could you please try not to be so narrow-minded?"Melissa chuckled as she a

Suzy vaguely remembered that in the haze, Liam was repeatedly brushing her hair, until she completely lost consciousness and fell asleep…Perhaps because her strength was drained, she slept very deeply.Before Liam left, he intentionally closed the curtains tightly, blocking out any trace of light, which led Suzy to sleep until noon before waking up.When Suzy woke up, she glanced at her phone and noticed a missed call from her mother and another one from Alec.What could Alec want from her?Suzy quickly sat up to clear her head, then returned the call."Mr. Lincoln, were you looking for me?""Yes, I was wondering when you'd return to work.”"You could've called a few more times; I overslept by accident... I'm sorry! Next time, if it's urgent, feel free to call me repeatedly." Suzy hurriedly apologized.Alec chuckled on the other end, saying, "Mr. Park already informed me that you were still sleeping and advised me not to disturb you. He mentioned that you'd reach out once you woke up.

Upon reaching Alec's office, Suzy knocked on the door.She heard a voice from within saying "come in," so she pushed the door open and entered."Mr. Lincoln, I'm here."Alec looked up from a stack of files and pointed to some documents on the desk. "You need to enter these into the computer. I'll send you the latest updates on the New Valley project, and you can handle the due diligence this afternoon.""Alright." Suzy picked up the documents to review them, and then promptly sent a file to Alec using her phone. "I had already inputted these before my suspension. I have them saved on my cloud because I didn't have access rights.""You inputted all these sections?!" Alec was surprised and immediately opened the file to check, "You really weren't idle during your break!"To put it into perspective, this workload amounted to nearly half a month's worth of tasks! Despite being suspended from Park Group for a brief period, Suzy still managed to accomplish so much!Suzy smiled. "I always kne

Naturally, outsiders felt envy. They believed Suzy was incredibly lucky to have earned Liam's favor, but deep down, it weighed heavily on her own heart. She didn't know what she could possibly offer Liam in return!Suzy felt that for a relationship to last, there should at least be some balance! Balancing their statuses was incredibly difficult, but she wanted to balance their contributions....After a day's work, as she was leaving in the evening, Liam specifically messaged her to wait for him so they could go home together after his meeting.Suzy used this time to tidy up her desk.Since she was usually too busy to organize and file documents properly, she just made sure she knew where everything was kept.After finishing, she checked her phone and still saw no message from Liam.The meeting was probably more complicated than expected.Stretching her back, Suzy decided to take a walk outside, but just as she left the office, she encountered the last person she wanted to see—Sophia

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
