A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 299: Who Are You Marrying
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

Liam rubbed his temples, his eyes full of frustration."My engagement announcement hasn't affected the company."Grace's voice got louder. "No impact? Shareholders have been calling non-stop to ask about the future Mrs. Park. Do you think they're just being curious?"For a large company like Park Group, every new member must be vetted carefully. Any scandal or rumor could affect the stock market."I said it has no impact.""Then tell me who this person is. I need to investigate, or I won't be at ease.""I'm the acting CEO now, and if I say there's no issue, then there's no issue. If you and Dad are worried, you can remove me from my position."Grace was furious. "You—""If I can't even make personnel decisions as CEO, then I might as well not be one.""You're willing to give up your position just for a woman?" Grace paused, then sneered, "I bet it's Suzy again. No one else could make you lose your mind like this."Liam didn't argue. Instead, he gave a mocking smile."So, you do know."

That pair of eyes would be enough to enchant many women.Combined with his outstanding background and work abilities, if he weren't a playboy, he shouldn't have trouble finding a girlfriend.Suzy just thought he had nothing better to do and was trying to mess with her.The less attention men pay to her, the more enthusiastic they become."Here!" Ryan spotted her figure, took off his sunglasses, and waved at her.Suzy sighed and walked towards him on her high heels. "You're up so early, I thought I wouldn't see you until noon.""Don't you need to be diligent when pursuing someone? If I were later, I'd be afraid you'd drive to work yourself."Saying this, Ryan handed over the breakfast in his hand.It really seemed like he was serious about pursuing her.Suzy didn't take it and kept her distance from him, "This makes me very uncomfortable, Mr. Paynes. I prefer the way we interacted before, and I don't want to change that.""But you said you'd give me a chance. Shouldn't I put in some eff

Suzy looked up at him, her brows furrowing slightly.She understood the reasoning, but she really didn't want to see any casualties on the construction site."And do you know? Many workers are actually willing to die on the job."Suzy was stunned, finding this statement absurd.Ryan shrugged with a smile, motioning for Peter to leave so he could talk to Suzy alone. "If they were to die on the job, the company would pay compensation, which might be more than they could earn in a lifetime of hard work! Our compensation standards are much higher than other companies, and I’ve also insured the project, so you don’t need to worry about this anymore.""Isn't this just your personal view? Who would wish to die?""There are many people in the world who commit suicide. Is that just my personal view?"Suzy was speechless.Ryan smiled. "I know you’re kind-hearted. You want every worker to come to work safely and go home happily, but everyone’s situation is different. I've done my best for them, S
Last Updated : 2024-06-28A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 303: You’re on Suzy’s Side
After all, as a "driver," what common topics could he have with Suzy? If he forcefully tried to start a conversation, given Suzy's personality, she would probably delete him.She didn't like people suddenly getting close to her.Liam was well aware of this.He also knew how quickly Suzy could delete someone."Knock knock—"A knock came from outside the office.Liam finally looked away from his phone screen. "Come in."Alec was the one who opened the door."Mr. Park, I'm about to leave for Windsting City."He wondered if he should also book a ticket for Liam.Of course, Alec didn't dare ask this last part directly."Alright," Liam just gave a simple response and continued reading his documents.Seeing this, Alec figured Liam wasn't planning to go to Windsting City with him, so he put down the proposal he was holding and turned to leave.As he reached the door, Liam called out to him!"Book me a ticket for next Monday.""To Windsting City?"Liam glanced at him, frowning. "To West City."

Alec smiled, maintaining his composed demeanor. "Miss Burns, I work for Mr. Park."As for whether Alec supported Suzy, it all depended on Liam. If Suzy was with Liam, then Alec could be considered on her side as well. The key point was that Sophia would never have the opportunity to be close to Liam.Sophia frowned. Since coming back to the country, her different encounters had made her more impatient, particularly when dealing with someone as elusive as Alec."Are you so sure that Liam will never marry me? Mrs. Park has already chosen me as her daughter-in-law. Mr. Lincoln, I advise you to think ahead and not be shortsighted. You'll regret it later."Alec pretended to listen seriously and even nodded. "Thank you for the reminder, Miss Burns."Sophia was speechless."Is there anything else? I need to get back to the office to deliver some files to Mr. Park."Since he mentioned work, Sophia couldn't hold him back any longer. Delaying work was a serious matter.Sophia's lips twitched in

After ending the video call, Suzy lay on her bed, staring at the ceiling.Suddenly, without so much work to do, having this time to relax felt rather unusual.She took out her phone to check the latest financial news, only to find unread messages on WhatsApp.They were probably sent while she was video chatting with Angela, and she hadn't checked her phone since then.Driver from Windsting City texted, “Hello, are you still awake?”Suzy remembered the driver who had sent so many gifts last time—food, drinks, and supplements. He was probably seeking a favor this late at night, so she felt she couldn't ignore him.She sensed that he was a good person, genuine, not the type with bad intentions. Moreover, his manner of speaking was quite proper and didn't make her uncomfortable.“I'm still up, what's the matter?”Driver from Windsting City replied, “You mentioned you're going to West City. I'm wondering if you're familiar with the place. I want to travel there and thought I'd ask you about

As soon as Suzy mentioned that, she clearly heard the sound of a cup falling to the floor.It seemed to have shattered, the sound was crisp and clear."You're going abroad?"The driver was very surprised."Yes, I want to travel and see the world." Over the years, she had been solely focused on work, intent on making money, and had forgotten to stop and look around.She had even neglected her beloved child, which made Suzy feel very guilty.So, after resigning, she decided to take some time abroad to just be with her children, letting them fully experience motherly love.What she hadn't experienced growing up, she didn't want her children to miss out on either."Oh... that's great.""By the way, let me recommend some good places to eat in West City. You can check them out while you're there.""Sure."Suzy chatted with him for a while, sharing everything she knew.The driver just listened without interrupting, and at one point, Suzy thought he had fallen asleep!Finally, she got so slee

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
