A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 345: Your Son Came to the Office
He discovered that Clive had called over a dozen times and sent several messages!Clive texted, “Where are you? Pick up the phone!”“Dude, your illegitimate son showed up at the office!”“Seriously, did you secretly have a son? Call me back and explain!”Illegitimate son?Liam frowned deeply, feeling a tinge of irritation.He never appreciated Clive's brainless jokes! He had only ever had sex with Suzy in his life, so it was impossible for him to have an illegitimate child.Just as he was about to exit the phone screen to check on some work matters, Clive's call came through again.Liam answered, his voice heavy, "I'm busy working. Don't joke about such things.""I'm not joking!" Clive's voice was loud enough to burst Liam's eardrums. "Your son really came to the office!""I don't have a son.""Impossible! That kid is definitely yours! Liam, you just haven't seen his face. If you had, you wouldn't be saying this!"Clive's tone was adamant.But to Liam, it sounded like Clive was just t

Alec could only nod when Liam decided to take his work outside."Alright then, Mr. Park, thank you!" They were supposed to discuss work, but once they sat down, neither seemed in the mood to talk business.What Alec really wanted to know was whether his boss planned to continue pursuing Suzy or return to Northorn City tomorrow. He wanted to book the tickets in advance.However, at this moment, Alec didn't ask directly, feeling that perhaps Liam himself hadn't decided yet. It was better to let him think it over first."Ahem... Mr. Park, about the project in Windsting City...""Do you think I'm being foolish?" Liam suddenly interrupted before Alec could find another topic.After a moment, Alec sighed."Mr. Park, the ones who are hurt the most are those who give their heart.”"So, she hasn't given her heart to me," he concluded.Alec found himself in a predicament, unsure whether to nod or shake his head.Liam tugged at his lips, poured himself a drink, and downed it in one go. "I feel l

Liam hesitated for only a few seconds before immediately dialing Clive's number.The phone rang several times before Clive picked up. The background noise was loud, with the clinking of glasses indicating he was out drinking."Where are you?""Having drinks! A friend from abroad is back, so we're catching up!"Liam frowned. "The child in the photo you sent me—did you Photoshop it?"Clive paused for a moment before raising his voice. "I wouldn't waste my time on that! I was working late at the office today when this kid showed up at Park Group. The security must have brought him to me because he looks so much like you.""Where is the child now?""Right next to me! The kid says he doesn't know his mom's name. He only knows that his dad looks like him. I couldn't just leave him outside."Clive had a prearranged meeting and had no choice but to bring the child along."You brought a child to a bar!""What else could I do?" Clive seemed to have stepped outside, and the noise quieted down.

"What did you say?" Alec hadn't caught his words."Nothing, get some rest."After hanging up, Liam's mind was a chaotic mess, making it impossible for him to sleep.He resolved to return to Northorn City as soon as possible the next day to determine if this was all just a coincidence or something more....Clive, obedient as ever, did exactly as Liam instructed and brought the child out.Glancing at the small figure walking beside him, he raised his hand and tapped the kid on the forehead. "Is Liam Park really your dad?"Arthur looked up, blinking his eyes. "I don't know. I just know I look a lot like him!""And what about your mom? What's her name?"Arthur thought for a moment, then shook his head. "I don't know.""...What about her last name?""I don't know that either."Clive had hoped to get some information from the kid, but he was drawing a blank."Well, you must know what your mom looks like, right?" He was genuinely curious, wondering who else, besides Suzy, could have gotten c

Clive couldn't help but marvel at how identical their faces were!Liam had the same expression when he furrowed his brows, looking just as stern and annoying."I knew he was a bastard dad!""You're right, he definitely is!" Clive scooped Arthur up and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "Come on, let's go eat something delicious. We'll forget about that bastard for now, and tomorrow, I'll help you kick him a couple of times when we meet him!"Arthur nodded vigorously. "Okay!"Clive took him to a restaurant. Not having experience with kids, he had no idea what they should eat, so he just ordered a bunch of expensive dishes.The food wasn't even fully served when Clive's phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, Clive really didn't want to answer.But he knew that Sophia wouldn't let it go.After a moment's hesitation, he picked up the call."Hello?""Where are you?" Sophia asked urgently."I'm out, having dinner.""I heard that a kid who looks a lot like Liam came to the office today?"Clive f

"Yes, you have been my friend for many years, and... I even liked you once, but now you scare me.""...What did you say?" Sophia was stunned."Nothing. I have to go, I'm busy."With that, he hung up the phone and ignored all her subsequent calls.Meanwhile, Arthur was calmly eating crab and looked up at him."Is that your girlfriend?""No, just someone who fantasizes about becoming your stepmother."...Suzy and Wendy were checking flights abroad when Jeffrey called."I found out that Arthur did return to the country!"Suzy felt her heart nearly stop. "Where did he land?""Northorn City," Jeffrey replied gravely, as he had his suspicions too.Suzy instantly understood."I'm going to Northorn City to find him!""I've also bought a ticket to return. I'll be boarding soon," Jeffrey said, hesitating before adding, "But... before anything stirs up at Liam's end, why don't you let Wendy go to Northorn City to find Arthur? If we can intercept him before Liam finds out, everything will be mana

"Oh, come on, I have an urgent matter!" Clive glanced at the still-sleeping Arthur. "Let me ask you, are you sure Suzy had a daughter and not a son?""...Yes, she had a daughter. I've seen her.""Are you sure? Could it be that the child was just really pretty, and you mistook her for a girl?"Ryan didn't understand why Clive was asking this, but he was certain Suzy had a daughter."Impossible. Do you think I'm stupid?""Oh... then I guess it really isn't."Clive just wanted to confirm.He figured if Suzy's child resembled Liam so much, Ryan would have mentioned it to him. Ryan knew about his close relationship with Liam and had met Liam before."What are you talking about?" Hearing Suzy's name snapped Ryan wide awake.He was worried that saying the wrong thing could tip off Liam or Clive about something."It's nothing. I just suddenly discovered that Liam might have an illegitimate child.""...What? How is that possible? Mr. Park is known for his integrity. There have never been any ru

"Ryan, if a little boy suddenly showed up claiming to be your son, and after confirming it with a paternity test, wouldn't you be confused?"Ryan was speechless. Of course, he would be.He had slept with so many women, some whose names he couldn't even recall. He couldn't be absolutely sure that none of them had ulterior motives."But hasn't Liam always been known for his integrity? Can he be compared to me?" Ryan scoffed. "Maybe in private, he has more tricks up his sleeve than either of us!""That's absolutely impossible! Since he left Suzy, he's been practically living at the office, always online on the company's system.""Would being online prevent him from doing that kind of thing?"Clive raised his voice. "Hey! Why do you have such a grudge against Liam?"Even someone as insensitive as Clive could sense it."I'm just being realistic," Ryan replied with a smile. "Alright, if it turns out the kid is his son, let me know. I'd love to see how it unfolds.""Screw you!"Clive hung up

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
