A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 268: Can You Bear to Lose Suzy
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

Closing the chat window, Suzy took a deep breath and glanced outside the hospital.Her mother, Melissa, had spent most of her life in hospitals. On nights like these, she might have watched the patients and doctors passing by in the corridors, lost in her thoughts.Suzy regretted not listening to her mother sooner and staying away from the Park family, which ultimately brought trouble upon herself.Even though Liam treated her well and she loved him deeply, if it came at the cost of her mother's life...She didn't want that.Suzy just wanted to be an ordinary person, working a regular job, visiting her mother in the hospital when she had time, and diving into her career when she was busy.She didn't know how much time had passed before she snapped back to reality.The computer screen showed unread messages.Suzy clicked on them; it was Ryan.Peter must have told him about their conversation, including work and personal matters."As your department head, I'm ordering you to rest in the

"Great, the scenery here is fantastic. Let's have a drink and enjoy ourselves before I leave!"The voice on the other end chuckled. "I'm mainly coming to see that pretty girl! Do you think I'm coming just to see you? If she made you come all the way back from abroad, she must be a rare gem!"A rare gem?Ryan smiled at the description."She's not the type to play around.""A perfect wife and mother?! You've really changed your taste!""Not exactly a perfect wife and mother, but seeing her and her strong, independent spirit, I think she'd make an excellent wife."Wife!The man on the other end almost burst out laughing. "You must be kidding. Marriage? We agreed we'd never get married! We just have fun and don't get serious, or it ends badly. I've got a perfect example right here!"Ryan sipped his wine. "Oh? You mean Liam Park, the CEO of Park Group. He just announced his marriage.""Exactly! A CEO like him can have any woman he wants, but he's obsessed with just one, giving up everything

Seeing that Suzy seemed troubled by this issue, Peter patted her shoulder. "Don't overthink it! I believe the local officials are probably worried about the development project being affected, so they stepped in. After all, this resort project is highly beneficial for Windsting City's development. They wouldn't want the project to change because the person in charge was assaulted by residents."Suzy nodded, feeling a bit more relieved. "You might be right. You and Mr. Paynes should avoid putting pressure on this. The residents are likely just trying to get more money, which is understandable. The key is to avoid escalating the conflict and affecting the project.""You! Always thinking about the project, no wonder you've climbed the ladder so quickly! Honestly, I've been in the workplace for many years and have seen plenty of women using various means to get ahead. You're the only one who has relied purely on your own ability."Others might not know, but Peter was well aware!With Rya

Hearing this, Suzy could hear a sharp intake of breath from inside the stall.It was clear they hadn't expected that their supervisor would still be working at this hour and would catch them gossiping about her...After about ten seconds of awkward silence, the stall door slowly opened.Suzy found herself facing two familiar faces – the project accountants sent by the company."Tell me, who am I supposedly having an affair with? I'd really like to know.""Miss Chase, we just heard it from others..."Suzy scoffed, crossing her arms and staring at them. "Who did you hear it from? Bring that person here; I want to hold them accountable for spreading rumors."Silence.Both women instantly shut their mouths.Suzy didn't really want to make things difficult for them; she just wanted to put a stop to the rumors. As a woman working hard in her career, she couldn't afford to have such negative gossip attached to her name. Rumors like these tend to grow and must be nipped in the bud."You were s

"I have nothing to do with him!" Suzy blurted it out.The two women in front of her flinched, thinking they had said something wrong again.Suzy stood still for a few seconds to calm down, then waved her hand. "Go. In the future, don't speak such things lightly. This is a society ruled by law. If it goes to court, you'll lose more than just compensation; you'll also jeopardize your future in the workplace.""We understand! We're really sorry."She couldn't say anything more, just gestured for them to leave.Hearing those words had drained all the strength from Suzy, and her fingertips trembled uncontrollably.Even after all these years, she still couldn't completely remove him from her world?It seemed that encountering someone too remarkable in life made them unforgettable.Back at the hotel, Wendy had just put Angela to sleep.Seeing Suzy looking so lost, she thought those people had caused her trouble again."Tell me what's going on! Did they bully you again?""No." Suzy forced a sm

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
