A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 263: The Kind Person Who Saved Her
Who was he?Suzy didn’t have time to think about it as sharp pain radiated from her head, causing her to frown deeply.The doctor saw her condition and quickly administered pain relief.A few minutes later, the young nurse who had left earlier rushed back in. "That gentleman said he knows.""He’s not coming?""No, he’s already left."Listening to the nurse and the doctor, Suzy felt something was off, but before she could say anything, a wave of nausea hit her.After a while of struggling, the little strength she had left was drained, and she fell back into a deep sleep.When she woke up again, she found herself in a regular hospital room.Opening her eyes, the first thing she saw was Peter, with a bandage on his forehead, sitting on a nearby chair. Ryan was also there, his tall, rugged figure and deep-set features filled with worry."Thank God you’re awake!"Seeing her open her eyes, Ryan immediately stepped to her bedside.Suzy felt a bit dizzy, but thankfully, the pain was gone, like

Ryan said, "Check if there are any security cameras. If we can find him, I want to personally thank him on behalf of our company! If it weren't for him, the consequences could have been disastrous."The two of them continued talking, not noticing that Suzy's thoughts had drifted.A tall, thin man.Could it be... him?Before losing consciousness, she thought she heard a familiar voice, gentle and reminiscent of years ago. She had assumed it was a hallucination.Liam should be abroad, getting married. How could he be here saving her?But Peter's words made her heart race.A strange intuition surged within her..."Mr. Watts, did the investment company send any updates today? Did anyone come to inspect the site?"Peter was taken aback. "No, don't worry! We won't let the investment company see this, and it won't affect the project's progress."Suzy's lips moved slightly. "Are you sure... absolutely sure?""Of course! If someone from the investment company came without my knowledge, then I w

Before the receptionist could hand over the business card, Liam averted his gaze."No need."He didn't want to remember anything from this trip to Windsting City. Having made his decision, he resolved to forget even the little girl.As he walked away, the receptionist sighed deeply."Sigh... I should have been brave enough to ask if he was single!"Once in the car, Liam kept his head down, reviewing the project contracts sent by the company. Recently, due to some issues at the branch office, the acting CEO had been involved in a scandal with compromising photos of him and his female secretary, leading to a plummeting stock price and stalled investment projects. Someone needed to clean up the mess.At the airport, Alec called. "Mr. Park, do you intend to replace the acting CEO or...?""He disregarded the company's image and committed acts that might lead to criminal charges. The Park Group cannot retain someone with such a blemish.""Who do you have in mind to replace him?"The position

Liam could guess that Alec would be stunned when he saw the message.After all, this request didn't seem like something he would propose! But he always felt a connection with that little girl and thought they would meet again....Suzy was at the hospital until the evening when Wendy called. Realizing she couldn't hide it any longer, she mentioned her hospitalization.Not long after, Wendy arrived at the hospital with Angela, bustling in and exclaiming, "Tell me which bastard hit you!""Shh, this is a hospital! Keep your voice down." Suzy quickly gestured with her finger, then smiled at her. "I'm fine, see? I'm alive and well.""You got beaten up and still say you're fine! Suzy, you should quit this job. It's dangerous. You shouldn't keep working here!"Wendy stood at the bedside, hands on her hips, looking like she was ready to avenge the demolition squad.Suzy knew she was worried about her, but..."Wendy, I need money to recover that footage. If I don't earn, I lose the right to kno

Wendy followed her gaze and looked in the same direction."Who is it?""I don't know," Suzy replied, feeling a bit puzzled.There was only one patient in this room, herself, so the doctor must have specifically come to see her. However, instead of coming in, he stood sneaking around at the door and left immediately after making eye contact. It was very strange."Maybe he thinks you're too beautiful and wants to date you?""You're overthinking it." Suzy sighed, not telling Wendy about her "hallucination" of Liam showing up to save her.The more she thought about it, the more impossible it seemed, not even a 1% chance."Anyway, I've told Jeff about your plan to leave the country! He'll take care of us. You know why he's been single all these years, right?"Suzy certainly knew.But she had made her intentions clear. As for Jeffrey's feelings, she couldn't influence them....Liam returned to the Park Group headquarters. Before he could meet with the shareholders, Clive rushed up to him."

Liam didn't respond to Clive's remark, but his mind couldn't focus on work anymore."I've known you for so long, Liam. Besides Suzy, you've never made exceptions for anyone! You're always meticulous, even strict with yourself. So don't try to fool me. Be honest, did you get back together with Suzy? Did you remarry?""No.""So you're not actually getting married. It's just a cover." Clive hit the nail on the head, leaving Liam speechless.Seeing Liam's silence, Clive sighed. "I know what you're thinking. Your mom is pushing you to marry Sophia, but you don't want to, so you're putting on this act to make them give up. You want to show them that you'll never marry Sophia, right?""I don't want to be pestered anymore."Over the years, countless women had tried to get close to him, wanting to connect with him. Some even waited outside his office, desperately seeking his contact information.By announcing his marriage, Liam hoped to end it once and for all."So you're really not back togeth

Liam's tone was so intimidating that even his long-time friend, Clive, was startled by his demeanor."Her... her mother passed away..."Liam abruptly stood up from his chair. "When did this happen?""It was some time ago..." Clive didn't dare lie to him, so he spoke ambiguously, hoping Liam wouldn't probe further into the truth.Though Clive hadn't been directly involved in Suzy's mother's death, he had some suspicions.He didn't intentionally hide it from Liam; it was just that... after all, the other party was his biological mother! Even if Liam found out, what could he do? Other than endless regret and guilt towards Suzy, there was nothing else he could do. It was better not to know anything."How did you find out about this?" Liam immediately sensed something was off.He had asked Alec to investigate for years without finding any trace of Suzy. If not for a chance encounter, he might still be unaware of her whereabouts! But Clive knew about her mother's death!That meant...Suzy's

"Wendy has a daughter?""I don't even want to know about Suzy, let alone her.""I understand, Mr. Park."After hanging up, Liam sat back in his chair, staring intently at his phone.Clive was right. If he wanted to sever ties, he needed to do it completely. He shouldn't care or inquire about anything....Due to the backlog of work, Suzy didn't stop working even in the hospital.She didn't let Wendy and Angela stay at the hospital. It wasn't a good place for Angela to be.After sending them away, Suzy opened her phone and logged into the company's account.Over the years, to avoid Liam, she had only marked her work account with the name "Suzy" without her full name. There were so many people with the name Suzy, Liam shouldn't be able to find her.Or perhaps, he never actually looked for her.Suzy still clearly remembered Liam's words, "I hate you." They echoed in her ears many times during sleepless nights.She knew Liam was deeply hurt by her."Beep beep!"A message from Peter appeare

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
