A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 277: She’s the Girl I Like
Clive stood there as if struck by lightning, frozen in place for a long moment before he moved his fingers to rub his eyes hard.Was he seeing things?She was actually in Windsting City!But on second thought, it made sense why Liam had changed his mind so much after staying in Windsting City for a few days."What are you standing there for? Go on up!" Ryan, who hadn't seen Suzy yet, got out of the car and saw Clive standing there in a daze."I see someone I know." Clive pointed toward Suzy not far away.Ryan followed his finger and smiled, "You know her?""Yeah, she is—""She's the girl I like."Clive was speechless."Isn't she beautiful?" Ryan continued talking to himself, not noticing that the man beside him was almost petrified! "Of course, it's not just her looks I admire. It's her dedication to her work that captivates me! What do you think?"Clive's mouth twitched, his voice dry and tight. "Not much.""Not much?!" Ryan immediately questioned his taste and then turned to see Cliv

Before Ryan could say anything, Suzy outright refused."I have nothing to say to you.""Do you want them to hear your past story?" Clive's words made Suzy freeze for a moment.He had guessed that Suzy hadn't told anyone about her past with Liam. While he didn't know why, he knew she had her reasons for keeping it a secret, and he figured it was enough to make her listen."What are you two talking about?" Ryan looked puzzled, glancing between Suzy and Clive.Clive smiled and started to speak, "You might not know, but Miss Chase here used to—""Enough!" Suzy interrupted sharply, glaring at Clive. "Fine, I'll listen to what you have to say. Let's talk over there."Clive, having achieved his goal, gave a thumbs up. "Ryan, go ahead and wait for us. Don't worry, I'll bring her back for lunch."Ryan was speechless.Ryan looked at Suzy, and seeing she didn't object, he nodded reluctantly. "Alright, I'll wait for you both."Once Ryan had turned and disappeared into the restaurant, Suzy spoke co

"Ha!" Clive chuckled lightly, "You're as ruthless as I thought. No wonder Liam liked you."Suzy frowned. "What exactly are you trying to say or do?"Clive shrugged. "I'm just surprised to see you after all these years. Just wanted to chat, no particular agenda. You don't have to be so defensive. I'm different from them.""I have nothing to chat about with you," Suzy replied, ready to leave.Clive quickly stepped in front of her. "I thought you'd want to ask me about Liam, like... who he's marrying."He couldn't believe Suzy wasn't curious at all!"Do I need to know?"Who else would Liam marry but Sophia? The Park family wouldn't agree to anyone else.Seeing her indifferent expression, Clive felt irritated and pulled out his phone, dialing Liam's number.Liam usually didn't answer Clive's calls quickly, assuming they were rarely urgent. But this time, after just two rings, Liam's voice came through.Suzy's fingers froze, feeling like a thorn had pierced her heart."Hello? What's up?"Cl

Suzy's heart felt as if it were being squeezed tightly, her mind going blank.Liam didn't marry Sophia?"How could you marry someone else, Suzy? You’re heartless," Clive said mockingly. "A few years ago, you had Liam wrapped around your finger, and now you have Ryan completely enchanted. I have to admit, that's quite a talent.""Have you said enough?" Suzy interrupted coldly. She didn't want to hear Liam's name anymore; it made her heart tremble each time. "I don't know why you've said all this to me today, but I've made it clear: Liam and I will never have a relationship again! If I wanted to contact him, I have many ways to do it, and none of you could stop me. “So rest assured, I genuinely don't want any more involvement with him. As for the Park family and Sophia, if they had done nothing wrong to me, they had nothing to fear from someone as insignificant as me. So don't waste your time with sarcasm; it doesn't affect me. I don't care.""You—"Clive wasn't sure what he wanted to

He didn't want to impose his desires on Suzy.Whether it was years ago or now, he still didn't want to.With Liam's capabilities, keeping Suzy by his side would have been easy, even without lifting a finger.But he couldn't bear to see her hurt in any way. He wanted Suzy to be happy, and if her happiness didn't include him, then he chose to disappear."But she's hurt you so much! Even I can't stand it! Liam, just say the word, and I'll find out who her husband is. If necessary, I'll threaten her to make her come back to you, to make her pay!""Don't." Liam's voice finally broke, unable to hide the sadness. "I truly love her, but I also need to let her go."...Suzy didn't return to the construction site but went straight back to the hotel.She opened the door to her room, didn't even take off her bag, and lay down on the bed.Liam's voice kept replaying in her head...Honestly, she missed him. She even wanted to record those few short words he had spoken, so she could listen to them w

"...You really love your husband, don't you?" Ryan said with a forced smile, trying to mask his disappointment.He realized it was unlikely he could ever take that place in her heart."Mr. Paynes, I don't want my life to have big, dramatic changes. I just want to be an ordinary person.""And does your husband love you the same way?"Ryan couldn't let it go.Suzy remained silent for a long time before she softly replied, "No one loves me more than he does.""Alright, I understand."After hanging up, Suzy set her phone aside, feeling completely drained. All her courage had been used up during her confrontation with Clive.Every second of it had been excruciating!Suzy was terrified that Clive might notice something, that he would realize she was lying.She would never seek out Liam again, but she still loved him....Back at the restaurant, Ryan returned looking dejected after the phone call.Clive, knowing he had ruined the meeting, poured him a full glass of wine. "It's been a while. W
Last Updated : 2024-06-19A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 283: Liam Is the Father of Suzy’s Daughter
"Yeah, she has a daughter. She's very pretty," Ryan said, looking at Clive. "You didn't know?"As soon as Ryan finished speaking, Clive jumped up with a bang, knocking over a glass on the table, which shattered on the floor."She has a child! She actually has a child! Are you sure?!" Clive felt his mind go blank as if struck by lightning repeatedly.Could it be... what he feared?"I'm sure she has one. What's the matter? Tell me!" Ryan was desperate to know, feeling left in suspense.He had thought introducing Suzy to Clive would get him some advice, but instead, it ended on a sour note, and he still didn't know anything."Do you know how old her daughter is?""I think... about two years old."Clive's mouth twitched slightly.Two years old...That meant the child definitely wasn't Liam's.They had been separated for four years and hadn't seen each other since. Liam had tried various ways to find out about Suzy but had no luck.Clive, who had been so agitated just moments before, now de

Hearing this, Ryan was stunned.Because while others might not know, Ryan did! He had seen Suzy's daughter, and she did indeed look very much like Liam.In that instant, Ryan could already conclude that it was true—Suzy's daughter was Liam's.Fortunately, Clive didn't notice Ryan's expression. He just nodded to himself and then sighed in relief, "But luckily, they’ve been separated for over four years, and her daughter is only two. So, she can’t be Liam’s."Ryan kept quiet."Hey, do you have a photo of Suzy's daughter?"He noticed Ryan was distracted and waved a hand in front of his face. "What are you thinking about?"Ryan smiled awkwardly. "Ah, nothing, just some work stuff. What did you say?""Do you have a photo of Suzy's daughter? I’d like to see her.""..." Ryan's handsome face froze for a moment, then he stiffly shook his head. "No, she only posts work-related things on her social media.""Oh, never mind then. I'm not really curious about what her daughter looks like, as long a

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
