A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 285: Sophia Is Back
Meanwhile, at Northorn City Airport.An international flight landed right on time.A woman pulled her suitcase out of the terminal and stood at the airport entrance, removing her oversized sunglasses.She looked at the blue sky and white clouds in front of her and smiled slightly."Northorn City, I'm back."After all these years, Sophia finally set foot on this land again! She had given Liam time to heal from his heartbreak over Suzy, trying her best not to upset him or appear in front of him. But the result was that he suddenly announced his marriage!And the bride still wasn't her.How could that be?If she could break up Liam and Suzy four years ago, she could defeat any woman trying to take Liam away from her four years later.Sophia didn't believe that after spending her entire life pursuing Liam, she wouldn't succeed.After pausing for a moment, she took out her phone and called Clive. "I'm back.""Back where? In the country?""Northorn City." Sophia laughed. "Liam didn't even te

Clive quickly responded, "It's not her, so don't go after her again! You people even caused her mother's death, and you had no qualms about it."Even though Clive didn't support Liam and Suzy being together before, thinking it was irrational and that it would affect Liam's career, he never intended to use such extreme measures to force Suzy away."We didn't cause her mother's death. Her mother died from an illness brought on by emotional instability.""You and I both know the truth! We've been friends for years, and I've kept this from Liam, covering for you. That's all I can do. Don't expect me to be involved any further."With that, Clive hung up.Sophia stared at the now dark screen of her phone, her frown deepening.Something wasn't right!She felt Clive's reaction was clearly protective of Suzy. When they met abroad, he didn't show any favoritism towards her. Now, he was adamant about leaving Suzy alone.This could only mean that... Suzy had reappeared recently.Something must hav

With a previous marriage, it wasn’t unexpected that she had a child.In fact, the moment Ryan found out about Suzy's connection to Liam, he no longer needed any confirmation from anyone else.The resemblance between the father and daughter was undeniable to anyone who saw them.Suzy felt herself losing her balance. She could pretend to be strong and invincible in any situation, but when it came to her child, she couldn't let the Park family find out about her."Why are you telling me all this? What do you want?" Suzy's eyes sharpened with suspicion, her gaze piercing into Ryan.He raised his hands in a calming gesture. "Don't jump to conclusions. Yesterday, Clive and I talked a lot. At one point, he asked for a photo of your daughter, and I told him I didn't have one.""You have a photo of my daughter?"Ryan shrugged. "I don't, but if I wanted one, I could easily check the surveillance at Dreamland Hotel, couldn't I?"Suzy kept quiet."But I didn't do that. I also discouraged Clive's

He was well aware of the company's recent projects and their profits. He also made every effort to retain talented employees, always coming across as approachable during conversations.His love for play was just a facade.It made people less guarded around him.Suzy knew she couldn't afford to get too close to a man like Ryan. She was aware that her own abilities and strategies couldn't compete with his."Mr. Paynes, I think you believe I'm worth pursuing because you don't know me well enough." Suzy composed herself, smiled politely, and subtly distanced herself from him. "Clive probably told you about my history with Liam, but did he mention... that I was the one who broke up with him? I initiated the divorce because I fell for someone else.""He did mention that you left Liam for another man," Ryan said, stopping her from speaking further. "But I don't believe it."Ryan felt he had never misjudged anyone before!He had observed Suzy carefully. He wouldn't pursue a woman lightly, esp

Clive nodded, still looking a bit dazed from his hangover, with a lingering headache.Ryan watched him go into the bathroom to freshen up, glancing at Clive's phone on the table.There were several missed calls from Sophia.Ryan knew who Sophia was! She had made significant contributions to the Park Group, earning a reputation in the business world. He also knew about her feelings for Liam.Ryan paused, then walked over to Clive's phone, opened the contacts, found Sophia's number, and noted it down."I'm planning to leave tomorrow. I've already booked my flight," Clive suddenly said, coming out of the bathroom while drying his face with a towel.Ryan was startled but relieved Clive hadn't seen him with the phone."You're not staying a bit longer?""No, there's a lot to do at the company. Liam, the workaholic, has taken on several big projects, including some requiring international travel. I need to go back and help."Ryan raised an eyebrow. "He's going abroad too?""Not sure, but his

The truth was that the Park Group had enough influence in the business world to easily shut down a company like Ryan's."Liam isn't the type to be a sore loser, is he?""...He can't afford to lose Suzy."...After making her fourth call to Clive without an answer, Sophia had to accept that she had lost an important ally.Without Clive acting as her informant around Liam, things were going to be more difficult.Sitting on the sofa in her hotel room, Sophia carefully considered where to start investigating Liam's marriage.His wedding announcement had been too sudden, and even his parents didn't know who the bride was. With no useful information from Clive, she had to rely on herself.Suddenly, her phone rang.Sophia walked over, barefoot, and saw that it was Victor calling. She frowned in annoyance but picked up the call."Dad.""I heard from your mother that you're back in the country. Where are you? I want to see you!""I'm very busy with work right now, no time to meet. I'll contact

Although it was uncertain whether Liam had reconnected with Suzy, Sophia knew very well the influence Suzy had in Liam's heart.She actually hoped the person appearing by Liam's side wasn't Suzy, but someone else.Any other woman would be easier to deal with than Suzy! It wasn't that Suzy was particularly capable, but that Liam genuinely cared deeply for her.Sophia was certain that Liam would never put so much effort and time into another woman again, so as long as it wasn't Suzy, it would be fine.She glanced at her watch, realizing it was almost time for her to leave.Sophia changed into a well-tailored women's suit, which made her appear even more professional and imposing. Returning to Northorn City and back to the Park Group, she had to assert her authority and show everyone who the real winner was....In the meeting room of the Park Group, Liam was listening to the investment department manager report on the project's progress. Occasionally, he furrowed his thick eyebrows sligh

"Mr. Park...""You too."People without ability had no need to stay at Park Group.Liam strode directly to the elevator. When he reached the office floor, he saw his assistant trying to stop someone.From the back, he already knew who it was."Mr. Park."Seeing Liam, the assistant quickly bowed his head in greeting.Sophia turned around at the sound, her high heels clicking as she walked toward Liam. "What's going on here? Mr. Park Sr. asked me to come back and help Park Group, yet I don’t even have an office?""You need to go through HR to join Park Group. Once they approve, you will have a place." Liam continued walking toward his office without stopping.Sophia hurriedly said, "Liam, it was Mr. Park Sr. who asked me to come back and help you. You can call him to confirm.""I don’t have time."Sophia was speechless. She hadn’t expected that her return would be met with so many closed doors! Clive wouldn’t take her calls, and Liam outright refused to accept her.Seeing him about to en

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

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
