A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 327: Bite Marks
Liam, who couldn't bear to lay a finger on Suzy, thought Zenway had real nerve!"Understood," Alec replied, knowing these kinds of tasks were his specialty.There was no choice; after all, he had a strong backing.Moreover, bringing down Zenway didn't require much effort. After a few projects were canceled, the company would collapse on its own! But since the boss ordered it to disappear immediately, he must have been truly provoked.Alec speculated that it was most likely related to Suzy.No one else could drive Liam crazy."Are you in Windsting City?""Yes.""Bring the driver we found last time to West City," Liam ordered, anticipating that Suzy might insist on thanking him in person, and he needed to be prepared."Got it, I understand!"After hanging up, Liam took off his suit jacket and unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his well-built shoulders.There were bite marks of varying depths all over, some still bleeding slightly.The touch of his clothes made them throb faintly, but Liam d

Liam didn't answer.But Clive already had his answer. "I knew it! You two are really something! Liam, take my advice, just give up on Suzy."Liam remained silent for nearly a minute. Just when Clive thought he was seriously considering his words, Liam suddenly spoke, "Send me Ryan's details.""...You're hopeless."Liam had accepted that long ago.He was indeed hopeless.All the talk about giving up on Suzy, never thinking about her again, and starting a new life—that was all self-deception!The reality was, as long as she beckoned, he would rush to her side, like a moth to a flame, devoid of reason, unable to think it through....When Suzy called Ryan, she was on her way back to her hotel.As soon as he picked up, his voice nearly shattered her eardrum."Where are you? Are you okay? Who are you with?"She sighed. "Ask one at a time, don't be so nervous. I'm fine. I just got drunk last night, and luckily a friend of mine was around. He took me to a room to rest.""Friend? Man or woman?

"Okay."After watching them leave, Suzy finally took out her key card and opened her room door.Ryan followed her inside, scrutinizing her from head to toe as if trying to see right through her."So, you just got drunk and spent the night at another hotel?"Suzy frowned, pouring herself a glass of warm water to ease her stomach discomfort. "What else could it be?""They didn't do anything else?""I don't think so, just drinking." Suzy didn't remember anything; she had completely blacked out.So, from her perspective, it was simply her poor alcohol tolerance. She was worried that not accompanying the Zenway executives properly might jeopardize the collaboration."Suzy, they probably spiked your drink," Ryan revealed.He wanted to know how Suzy's drug effects had been neutralized."...Spiked?""Yes! If you don't believe me, we can go for a blood test now. It should still show up."Suzy felt her mind go blank. She tried to remember but couldn't recall anything.But she was sure Zenway's p

Suzy fell silent and felt as if she were still dreaming, hearing such words.Zenway, such a large company, collapsed just like that?!It was too absurd."Did you do this?"Ryan's body stiffened for a moment, then he nodded. "Yes, I did it. I wanted to make Zenway pay. They dared to harm you, how could I tolerate that?""That was unnecessary! You just needed to warn them! This second-stage processing of agricultural products is not only profitable for our company but also benefits farmers. It's such a good thing. Do you know how many farmers were waiting for us to sign the contract?"Farmers were becoming fewer because there wasn't much money to be made.If secondary processing could be done, it would surely spark a new trend and bring more income to farmers.Ryan pursed his lips, standing in front of her like a child who had done something wrong. "I only thought about how they bullied you. I didn't think it through."Mostly because… it wasn't him who completely crushed Zenway.But in f

Liam knew Suzy would suggest meeting the driver. If he refused now, she would definitely become more suspicious.To be honest, this was the first time in his life that he dared to act but was afraid to admit it.The main problem was that he didn't know how to explain it to Suzy. She had been drunk, drinking spiked wine, but he hadn't.He had been sober...Thinking about it, Liam pressed his temples hard.The pain was unbearable, constantly throbbing.The moral condemnation within him constantly tormented him! He wanted to go to Suzy and confess everything, but... he was afraid she would hate him.He didn't dare face Suzy.Alec brought the driver to the West City airport, and when he saw the CEO's car parked at the entrance, he was genuinely startled!A mere secretary, having the boss personally come to pick up?After getting in the car, Alec quickly said to Liam in the driver's seat, "Mr. Park, let me drive."Liam glanced at the driver in the back seat through the rearview mirror and n

Ryan left Suzy's room but didn't actually leave West City. Instead, he got another room in the same hotel.The more he thought about Zenway's situation, the more something felt off. After pondering for a while, he dialed Clive's number.The first call went unanswered.After a while, Clive called back."You called me?""Yeah, do you know about Zenway's collapse?"Clive paused. "Huh? Zenway in West City?""Yes, it went bankrupt overnight.""Wasn't that company quite big? I paid some attention to it before. The projects they were handling seemed decent. How could it collapse so suddenly...?"That was Ryan's question too."So, who do you think has the power to bring down such a big company overnight in this country?"Clive, no fool, quickly grasped Ryan's implication."Did Zenway mess with Suzy?""Yes, Mr. Hanson spiked her drink and tried to take advantage of her."Clive immediately understood."He couldn't have picked a worse target. I thought maybe it was an internal issue at Zenway tha

"Yeah, I know. Can you help me ask Liam why he came to West City? Is it because of Suzy?""Isn't that obvious?" Clive replied. "The Park Group doesn't have any recent projects in West City. Even if there were, none of the domestic projects are worth billions that would require the CEO to come personally. What else could it be for?""They're divorced, and Liam is going to get married, isn't he?" The news of Liam's marriage was well-known in the business world.Ryan had assumed that Liam had started a new life!After all, they divorced because there were issues between them. Now, Suzy claimed to be married with a child, and Liam had announced his marriage. Ryan couldn't fathom how there could still be entanglements between them.He couldn't believe that Liam was still coming to West City for Suzy!The most crucial point was that Liam knew about Suzy being forced to drink, which meant he either kept in touch with Suzy or had someone watching over her.If it was the latter, then... it woul

"I just admire her! She didn’t even care about Liam; what chance do I have?""True enough."After chatting with Clive for a bit, Ryan hung up the phone.He immediately contacted Peter, instructing him to tell Suzy that something urgent had come up in Windsting City, summoning her back immediately.With Liam also in West City, Ryan couldn't allow him to get close to Suzy.After putting down the phone, Ryan was about to lock the screen when his eyes fell on a phone number saved on his device.It was Sophia's number.He had previously stolen it from Clive's phone.But he didn't dial it.Now wasn't the time to take such drastic measures; he didn't want to escalate things....When Peter called, Suzy was still wrestling with the issue of the driver.She wanted to meet him as soon as possible to clarify what had happened and how the effects of the drug had been neutralized."Windsting City needs you. When can you come back?""There's not much going on here; maybe the day after tomorrow. Ryan

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
