A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 201: Please Let Me Accompany You
Touching her ice-cold skin, Jeffrey felt his heart ache."Are you alone?" He wanted to ask her why Liam wasn’t with her. However, seeing Suzy's current state, he thought he didn't need to.Despite not knowing what had happened, he was sure Liam wouldn't have left her, especially not at a time like this, no matter how much Suzy might push him away."My mother was murdered," Suzy stated, not answering his question but speaking in a hoarse whisper. "She must have been murdered...""Do you know something?" Jeffrey immediately asked, "Tell me, and I'll investigate it for you. Don’t worry, if someone really did harm your mum, I absolutely won’t let them get away with it."Suzy slowly lifted her head to look at him.Suddenly, her shoulders slumped."What if it was someone from the Park family... can we even find out?"She was genuinely afraid, afraid of what she might find, especially if it had been at the instigation of Liam’s parents.And even if she could find out, was there any chance sh

"I... I've lost everything..."As Suzy uttered these words, her body began to lean back, and she fainted.Fortunately, Jeffrey had one arm around her back, preventing her from falling to the ground.Jeffrey immediately scooped her up and hurried to the nurse's station. "Doctor! Where's the doctor?! Hurry, someone has fainted!"...Liam immediately had a bad feeling when he couldn't find his phone.He turned to leave the hospital room, but just as he opened the door, he saw his father standing there, accompanied by his mother's primary doctor back in their home country."Where are you going? Your mother's life is at stake, where do you think you're going?"Liam frowned. "I'm looking for my phone.""Looking for your phone? Why can't you wait until your mother is stable?!" William's face was stern, his body completely blocking the exit of the room, leaving no gap.The doctor immediately added, "Yes, Mr. Park, your mother's condition is very critical. She might wake up any moment, or she m

William seemed to understand what he should do and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Liam, as long as you don't push too far, things might still work out. But if you keep ignoring everything for that woman, how can anyone think well of her?" "I was in a rush when I arrived; I hadn't informed her beforehand. Now, I just want to tell her, so she isn't left searching for me in case something comes up.""What could she urgently need you for? Your biological mother is the one in the hospital bed! If she doesn't care about your situation at a time like this, does she really care about you?"Liam did not want to argue with his father at this moment, instead focusing his gaze on the smartphone in his hand.The screen had been dark throughout, and Suzy had not replied.It seemed like nothing had happened......Suzy felt as if she were thrown into a deep pit, surrounded by darkness so intense she could not see her own hands.She wanted to scream but could not make a sound, wanted to run bu

"Is it Mr. Park's child?"Wendy was still reeling from the shock and hadn't quite caught what Suzy was saying.Fortunately, Jeffrey was there too; he quickly closed the door and covered his cousin's mouth. "You’re too loud. Didn’t Suzy ask you to keep this a secret?""But, but..."Wendy couldn't understand why such a matter needed to be kept secret! With a child, she could leverage the Park family. How could they dare to harm her? Shouldn't this child be used as Suzy's protection?"They dare to harm a human life. Do you think they would care about an embryo in my belly?"...Jeffrey nodded; he was somewhat frightened too.If those people had directly targeted Suzy, she wouldn't have had the chance to be lying here now.The power of the Park family was indeed unmatched! Not just in Northorn City, but across the country, there were few who could stand against them. The entire province's revenues and more were closely linked to the Park Group; opposing them was like a fly trying to stop a

In the VIP room of Grace's ward, doctors occasionally came in to check on her, each leaving with a sigh.Liam, who had been standing by the entire time, was visibly anxious.If it weren't for his reluctance to worsen his parents' impression of Suzy, he would have left already!After the attending physician entered and left for the third time, Liam finally lost his patience. "Has Suzy not responded to any messages?""If she had, I would have told you," William replied, pulling out his phone to show him, confirming his statement.Suddenly, Liam stood up and walked towards the door of the ward."What are you doing?" William immediately asked, moving to intercept him."Going for a smoke.""I'll join you."Liam frowned at his father. "Can we leave my mom alone like this?""There's a nurse here. Your mom won't wake up anytime soon, I'll step out with you for some air.""Then lend me your phone." Before William could get angry, Liam spoke first, "I need to give Alec some instructions. It's be

“Suzy and Jeffrey are not in a relationship.”"Ha!" William scoffed. "That's only because you're now an option! Without you, Jeffrey is considered a good catch for someone like Suzy!"Upon hearing this, Liam's brows furrowed deeply."You've even investigated Jeffrey.""I'm worried you might be deceived! You've always been responsible about who you had feelings for and we never needed to worry about you. Back in college, while other wealthy kids were dating and partying, you never got fixated on anyone. Yet, out of the blue, Suzy has captivated you entirely. How can your mom and I not be concerned?""I only want what I desire." The only person he ever wanted from the start until today had only been Suzy.Therefore, Liam's affections had never lingered on any other woman, even before he met Suzy again, he had never developed feelings for anyone else.He loved Suzy exclusively."You'll regret it one day!" William snorted coldly and turned to walk away.Suddenly, Alec's figure appeared at

After disconnecting the call, William didn't send anyone else to stop Liam.He thought that if his wife had witnessed their son's expression at that moment, she might have also considered backing out.Just that look alone made William certain that Liam would indeed sever ties with him because of Suzy....After leaving the hospital, Liam got straight into the car.Even without saying anything, Alec knew where to drive Liam to.On the way, Liam kept calling Suzy, but she never picked up the phone."Did you contact Suzy today?""No, she mentioned she was going for a health check-up. I thought since she finally took a day off, it wouldn't be right to bother her about work," Alec paused before continuing, "After you instructed me, I tried reaching out, but still no answer."Liam's brows furrowed deeply as he stared intently at the phone screen.Soon, the car reached Easter Bay, and sure enough, upon opening the door, the place was deserted!Suzy was not at home.Seeing the darkness gradual

"It's nothing, I'm just tired." Suzy dodged his hand as he reached for her wrist. "Let's talk about it tomorrow."Alec, caught between the two, looked lost and unsure of what to say.Liam's dark eyes glanced at him as he said in a deep voice, "You should go back, Alec.""Alright."After he left, Suzy had already proceeded into the bedroom by herself.Liam stood at the entrance for a while before slowly walking over and gently pushing open the door.Suzy was already lying down on the bed with her clothes on and eyes closed—it was unclear if she was really asleep.Pausing for a moment, Liam was about to leave and have someone investigate what exactly had happened to Suzy at the hospital when suddenly, Suzy called out to him!"Liam, I’m exhausted.""...Then rest, I won't disturb you, I'll sleep in the guest room tonight."Suzy sat up in bed, her gaze serious as she looked at him, her lips moved a few times, but she couldn't quite say what she wanted.Liam walked back and sighed deeply. "O

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
