A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 241: No News of Her
Suzy felt a roaring in her ears, drowning out everything else. It was as if she had gone deaf.So, Alec had come to Windsting City alone. Liam wasn’t here; he was abroad preparing for his wedding.He finally gave in, agreeing to marry Sophia.“Suzy? Are you still there?” Ryan’s voice finally pulled her back to reality.“Sorry, I had a bad signal.”Ryan spoke earnestly, "Just do your best! If there's anything you're uncomfortable with, let Peter handle it. The company appointed him as the main project lead, but your role is equally important. We want you to support each other. If he does anything that bothers you, let me know.""Mr. Watts has been very supportive," Suzy replied."That's good! Is there anything else?"Having been reassured so much, it would be ungrateful to refuse further."No, nothing else. Sorry to disturb your rest.""No problem. Once the project is successfully completed, DollarMax will host a special celebration for you both! I promise your year-end bonus will be at

"Keep searching.""Understood, Mr. Park."After hanging up, Alec couldn't help but sigh.They had been searching for years without any leads. The only explanation was that this person didn’t want to be found. Alec couldn't fathom why his boss wouldn’t let go, despite Suzy’s apparent determination to cut ties.Over the past three years, countless women had shown interest in Mr. Park—beautiful, well-connected women, some from families as prestigious as the Parks. Yet he remained indifferent, keeping all women at a distance. Rumors were even starting to circulate that he wasn't interested in women at all.Alec glanced at the manila folders in his hand.Since Liam said it wasn't important, he wouldn't bother looking through them.He had just inspected the Windsting City resort project. Aside from the holdout issue, it was ready to proceed. The project leads wouldn’t need to liaise directly with Park Group headquarters, so there was no need for him to get involved.The biggest headache now

"Is there anything else? Didn't Dad say you were hospitalized?"Every time it was the same tactic and excuse, making it hard for him not to see through it.But as their son, he was always afraid that one day his father might be telling the truth, and he wouldn’t believe it.After all, she was his biological mother, the one who gave birth to and raised him."Don’t change the subject. I asked you who you’re planning to marry!" His mother stared at him unblinkingly.She hadn’t expected this outcome!She was also very surprised. He had been so restrained all these years, how could a woman suddenly appear, and he was even ready to marry her?It was even more sudden than Suzy’s appearance back then!"Naturally, it’s someone I care about.""I think you’re just trying to make me angry!" His mother clutched her chest, breathing heavily. "You never used to be like this. It’s all Suzy’s fault! I was right to get rid of her, or who knows how much worse you’d be!"Liam's eyes narrowed sharply.He c

The reprimand Alec expected didn’t come.In fact, there was no sound at all from the other end.It was clear this wasn’t what Liam wanted to hear. The usually decisive Liam was avoiding the truth.Alec remained silent, waiting for his boss to respond.After a long pause...Liam's voice was faint and tight, almost as if he were asking himself, "You also think she doesn’t love me.""Yes," Alec replied firmly. "I believe if Miss Chase had any feelings for you, she couldn’t have been so heartless. You should stop searching for her. Someone who is intentionally hiding cannot be found."There was silence again.Alec took a deep breath and braced himself. "Besides, if you did find her now and discovered she was deeply in love with Mr. Palmer... could you handle that?"There was finally some noise from the other end, but no words, and then the line went dead.What Alec didn’t know was that his words had hit Liam hard, as if the call was the final straw that broke the camel’s back.Liam realize

0825.He didn’t want to see those numbers anymore or be reminded of her.If he was going to start over, he needed to let go of the past completely.Even if he met Suzy again, he had to remain resolute....After finishing the necessary work for the company and grabbing a quick bite to eat, Suzy drove back to her temporary hotel. As soon as she arrived, she received a call from Peter."I'll have that designer contact you.""Have her come to my hotel," Suzy paused, "You didn't reprimand her, right?""No, as you instructed, I didn’t let her suspect anything. I had another employee who’s close to her find out about the situation.""Good."Peter laughed. "If you can resolve this holdout issue, you’ll really be doing me a huge favor! It's been a major headache for me.""No need to thank me. I'm just doing my job. If the resort project doesn’t succeed, I won't get my bonus either."After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Suzy hung up. Not long after, the hotel doorbell rang.Suzy walked ove

Intimidating a newbie like this was easy."Call that holdout tenant right now and tell him we've changed the design plans, so it doesn't matter whether he moves or not," Suzy instructed, glancing at Emma's phone and indicating she should make the call in front of her.Though Emma was already quite frightened, Suzy needed to ensure everything went smoothly to avoid any complications.Emma hesitated, looking distressed. "He's very aggressive. He'll definitely yell at me!""Well, you can choose between the company suing you for damages or him yelling at you," Suzy said with a shrug, spreading her hands. This wasn’t a negotiation."Isn't there another way? If I were to say that, he'd think I'm playing him! He'll definitely retaliate against me later.""You're an adult. You need to take responsibility for your actions, right?" Suzy said, standing up and opening the hotel door. "Since you’re unwilling to cooperate and are trying to bargain, we’ll forget it. The company will proceed as usual,

Investors?"Is it someone from Weston or Park Group?""I'm not sure! It should be Weston. Park Group already inspected the project, right?"Good. Actually, Suzy was feeling a bit paranoid. Since Alec had already visited the project, Liam probably wouldn’t come again.Besides, he was busy preparing for his wedding abroad, so how could he show up here?"Alright, I'll head over now."...The news about the holdout tenant being resolved quickly reached Park Group’s headquarters.Alec had been closely monitoring the project, not because it was particularly large, but because the Windsting City project was the first to surpass two billion since the acquisition of Weston Investment. It was crucial to prove the project’s profitability and Weston’s capabilities.After some thought, Alec sent a message to Liam.“Mr. Park, the Windsting City resort project is back on track. Their project director resolved the issue, and construction is expected to start next week.”Shortly after, Liam replied, “

When Suzy arrived at the site, Peter was on the phone with the company higher-ups. He gestured for her to wait upon seeing her.She nodded slightly and glanced over at the holdout tenant.Previously, he had been stubborn, holding his head high, but now he was cooperative, speaking amicably with the project manager."Suzy," Peter called out after finishing his call, his face beaming. "I have to hand it to you! You solved this problem so quickly.""I just figured there must be some vested interests involved," Suzy said, raising an eyebrow and smiling. "But don’t celebrate too soon. There could still be trouble ahead.""He agreed to the demolition and signed the papers. What trouble?""True, but... we didn’t actually change the design plans."The holdout tenant would likely keep an eye on the final resort project. When he realized he had been tricked, he would almost certainly cause a fuss with the company. He might even create a scene when the resort opens."If he were to try anything, I

A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 430: He’d Never Lied to Me
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
