A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 292: Is She the One You’re Going to Marry
"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

"None of your business."That same response again.Sometimes Sophia really wanted to ask Liam what she lacked. In terms of feelings for Liam and contributions to the Park Group, how was she not a hundred times better than Suzy?He should have been hers......In his office, Liam had just sat down when Alec messaged that the arrangements were made.He opened his computer and glanced at the files. His eyes involuntarily fell on the Windsting City resort project submitted by the branch office.Had the project entered the second phase?He wondered if her injuries had healed.He wondered if Jeffrey had been visiting her in the hospital.Thinking about this, a self-mocking smile appeared on Liam’s lips. He felt so insignificant now; even when he had pursued Suzy with all his effort, he hadn't felt this way.What made him feel even more shameful was that he simultaneously took out his phone and dialed Clive's number.After a few rings, the call was answered, "What's up? Do you need help with

At that moment, Liam felt as if his heart was suddenly and fiercely squeezed! He was nervous, excited, and most of all, at a loss for what to do...Yes, the CEO of the powerful Park Group, who could dominate the business world, was now as helpless as a schoolboy receiving a message from his crush for the first time.It had been four years since he last heard from Suzy.He had forgotten that he had bought the driver's contact number!Suzy texted, “Hello?”Seeing no response, Suzy sent another message.Liam snapped out of it and quickly typed with his long fingers, “Here.”Suddenly realizing this reply sounded too much like his usual style, and fearing Suzy might recognize him, he added a smiling emoji.Watching the "typing..." indicator, Liam waited, his eyes fixed on the screen.Soon, she transferred him a sum of money.Suzy texted, “Here is the remaining money. Please check if it's correct.”Liam didn't care about the money at all. Without even looking, he replied directly, “It's corr

Liam thought back to when Alec told him that Wendy had given birth to a daughter. This hand must belong to that child.After all, Suzy and Wendy were really close friends, so it made sense for Suzy to post pictures of Wendy's daughter.Obsessed, Liam continued scrolling through her posts. He even opened and examined the company photos, not missing a single one, as if doing so would help him understand more about her life over the past four years.It was clear that Suzy was very busy with work. She had very few posts on her profile feeds and even fewer about her personal life.When he exited the screen, he saw that Suzy had replied.Suzy texted, “Okay, I'll try to accommodate you.”Liam stared at the message for a moment before immediately calling Alec."Can you contact the driver I used in Windsting City before?""I should be able to. I'll find his number and get back to you." Alec didn't understand Liam's intentions but followed orders.A minute after hanging up, Alec called back, "Mr

Liam rubbed his forehead, convincing himself that it was just curiosity.Or maybe he was simply concerned about her injury. After all, it happened while she was working on the project, so as the CEO, it was only natural for him to show some concern.Yes, that was it....Suzy checked her phone, confirming that the driver hadn't replied before putting it away and focusing on the meeting.She had deleted him on a whim, thinking they would have no further interactions after she left Windsting City. However, when he sent a friend request again, it made her feel a bit awkward!It was like getting caught right after doing something wrong.She really hadn't given it much thought. She just didn’t like having unfamiliar contacts on WhatsApp and assumed the driver wouldn’t need to contact her again."Miss Chase, is there anything you would like to add?"Peter suddenly directed the conversation to her.Suzy quickly smiled and took out the PPT she had worked on overnight. "Regarding our construct

As soon as Suzy opened the door, she noticed an extra desk in her office!Was someone going to share this space with her? No one had mentioned it to her.Suzy was about to turn around and ask Peter about it when she saw Ryan walking towards her with a spring in his step."Finished with the meeting?""Yes." Suzy couldn't avoid him, so she smiled and nodded.Ryan waved a lunch box in front of her. "Hey, I just drove an hour to get this for you! You haven't eaten yet, right? This is a local specialty from Windsting City.""…No need. I'll eat something at the hotel after I finish up here. I'm not hungry right now.""You're that cautious about just eating something?" Ryan blinked, pretending to be hurt. "Afraid I put something in it? Here, I'll take the first bite."Suzy felt cornered and awkwardly waved her hand. "No, it's just that I'm not hungry! But thanks for the gesture, I'll take it back to the hotel and eat it later."She knew that if she didn't accept it, Ryan would stay and talk f

His tone, his words.It was exactly like he was reminding a girlfriend.Suzy's smile stiffened, and she chuckled awkwardly. "Thanks for the concern, boss."Ryan was speechless.He could blur the lines between personal and professional matters under the guise of work, so she could constantly remind him of their actual relationship....Evening came, and night fell.Suzy returned to her hotel, took a shower, and after a brief video call with her daughter, she opened her laptop to work.Ryan had sent over the new project materials. She skimmed through them; the due diligence shouldn't be too difficult, mainly focusing on the certification of the partnering company.Typically, in this kind of secondary agricultural product processing industry, there might be some discrepancies with product certificates and business registrations, but as long as it's not too excessive, it shouldn't pose major problems. However, she needed to ensure these hidden risks were thoroughly investigated to avoid a

Before leaving the country, she needed to finish all her work.She had to complete what she started.Suzy worked for several hours, and when she finally looked up, it was already 2 a.m.Her neck was sore, so she had to take a break.She instinctively checked her phone and noticed that the driver had sent another message. To avoid losing his contact, she had saved his number under a nickname.Driver from Windsting City texted, “Are going to West City for work?”Suzy found it odd that he was asking this, but she replied anyway, “Yes, going there for a business trip.”After sending the message, she realized it was the middle of the night. The driver was probably already asleep, given his age.She got up to stretch, and when she returned to her computer, she saw that the driver had replied!Suzy double-checked; it was indeed 2:30 a.m.Driver from Windsting City replied, “Oh, safe travels.”She smiled, feeling a bit warm inside.Although their introduction was less than ideal, the driver se

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
A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 425: I Suspect Suzy Is Your Mother
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
