A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 353: Looks Like Liam
Clive thought Sophia was genuinely in pain, so he ignored his phone and drove straight to the hospital.Once they arrived, he carried Sophia to the cardiology department.After a flurry of activity, he was exhausted and drenched in sweat. Only then did he remember that someone had called him earlier.He checked his phone and saw several missed calls from his assistant, followed by one from Liam.Unable to reach Clive by phone, Liam had sent a message on WhatsApp. “I've boarded the plane back to Northorn City. Reply when you see this.”Just as Clive was about to reply, his assistant called again.Thinking the kid might have caused trouble, Clive answered immediately."Hello? What's going on?""Mr. Clive! You asked me to come to the hotel to look after the child. I came, but... there's no child here!"Clive sprang up from his seat."What did you say?!""There's no child in the room. I tried calling you, but you didn't answer. I asked the hotel front desk, and they said... a man came and

"What if it's someone with bad intentions? Or someone who noticed he looks like Liam and wants to kidnap him for ransom!""You worry too much! Think about it. He was clearly taken by someone looking for him. How else would they know exactly where to find him? There are so many hotels in Northorn City!"Clive considered it and realized she might be right.Theoretically, her guess made sense."What do I tell Liam when he gets back?"He had specifically returned for this child."Just tell him you were joking if necessary. I can make sure no one at the company says anything," Sophia offered.But Clive, after thinking it over, declined her "help.""I can't do that. The child was really here. Liam needs to find out if he's truly his son and what the other party's intentions are." Clive believed it was better to get scolded by Liam now than to risk potential harm to Liam later.Since the issue had been discovered, it was best for Liam to investigate.He was sure Liam could uncover some clues

He had given all his firsts to Suzy and to no one else....The person most delighted by the news of Liam potentially having an illegitimate child was Ryan.Upon learning the news, he was wide awake.It was still too early to call, so he didn’t want to disturb Suzy and her daughter. He waited until nearly noon before he couldn’t contain himself any longer.After a few rings, Suzy's voice came through. She sounded hoarse, likely from stress and worry."Hello, Ryan.""Have you found your daughter yet?"Suzy was about to say no, but hearing him mention her daughter, she quickly changed her answer to avoid further complications. "Yes, we found her.""That's great!" Ryan sighed in relief."However, my daughter is quite clingy, so I might need some more time before I can return to work. Could I extend my leave a bit...?""No problem! I've got things covered here at the company. If needed, I'll handle it myself. Just focus on spending time with your daughter!" Ryan chuckled. "And you don't ha
Last Updated : 2024-07-15A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 356: He Must Have Slept with Other Women
Ryan figured Suzy was just having a hard time accepting Liam had slept with another woman. He was sure she'd come around, given some time.In any case, he had said what needed to be said. He had achieved his goal of letting Suzy know that that Liam had fathered a child, and that any hope of reconciliation between them was impossible."I wouldn't know, Suzy, but don’t be too upset about it!"Suzy was speechless.She wasn't upset; she was worried!It had to be Arthur who went to see Liam. And if Liam had Arthur under his thumb, even if she rushed over there now, chances were slim she'd be able to bring Arthur back.Suzy couldn't bear to think about what would happen if Liam found out about Arthur. Would she ever see her son again?After hanging up Ryan's call, she immediately sought out Jeffrey and Wendy to discuss the matter.They were still trying to figure out how to start looking for Arthur in Northorn City when they heard the news from Suzy."Are you saying Arthur went to see Liam?!

Jeffrey hesitated for a moment but eventually agreed, understanding Suzy’s sentiment"Alright! I'll use my ID to book a room for you, then I'll stay at a friend's place. That way, you won't be traced.""Okay, thank you, Jeff.""Stop it! I don't want to hear your thanks."Suzy ended the call and stared at her phone, a knot tightening in her chest.Since she didn't plan to accept Jeffrey, she should have drawn a clear line with him long ago! But now, she still needed his help all the time.Suzy sometimes felt guilty. She couldn't ignore the reproach of her conscience.Wasn't she just wasting his time?...After meeting with Clive, Liam found out that Clive had already checked all the suspicious surveillance footage around.However...The person who took the child seemed well-prepared. They were fully disguised when they came to the hotel and deliberately avoided the surveillance cameras when leaving with the child!As a result, there was no trace of them."Liam, do you think it's possibl
Last Updated : 2024-07-22A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 358: Was She Pregnant Back Then
"Say what?"Liam looked into Clive's eyes and said gravely, "Could it really be Suzy's child?"After the divorce, she got pregnant and secretly had the baby without letting him know.Clive waved his hand again, his tone as resolute as joining a cause."Definitely not! Let me tell you, when you guys were getting divorced, I ran into Suzy at the hospital. She was there for a checkup."Liam had no idea about this. His thick eyebrows immediately furrowed. "Why didn't you tell me?""Why would I tell you? She was dead set on the divorce! At that time, she was at the hospital because she was having trouble getting pregnant. I even suspected she wanted the divorce because of that, but later I realized it wasn't the case."The real reason was still because of Sophia.But Clive wouldn't tell Liam that, even though he now disapproved of Sophia's actions. If he mentioned it, it would only lead to chaos.How would Liam face his parents then?And it wouldn't help him reconcile with Suzy at all. The
Last Updated : 2024-07-23A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 359: Get Rid of the Child
Liam knew that if Suzy had given birth to his child, he would need to take responsibility as the father and marry her.However, Suzy would never agree to marry him!Clive couldn't even begin to imagine what Liam's parents' reaction would be upon learning this. Previously, he had thought they simply liked Sophia and wanted her as their daughter-in-law. But after suspecting that they had a part to play in Suzy's mother's death, Clive no longer saw it that way.It appeared they would eliminate anyone who obstructed Sophia and Liam's marriage, and Suzy's child would not be spared either.Sophia would never be a good stepmother, and Suzy couldn't be accepted by the Park family. This posed a dilemma for Liam.If he chose Suzy, his mother could pass away from her mental illness, and he would lose the person who took care of him from birth.If he chose to care for his mother, he would have to give up Suzy.In such a situation, Clive could only hope that the child wasn't really Suzy's or even

"You want him dead?!"The person on the other end was clearly shocked."Yes," Sophia replied without pretense, "I need to eliminate any potential threats in the cradle."She thought about it: if the child were left alive, he would eventually find Liam. The only solution was to make him disappear from this world entirely."You claimed he's not Liam's son, yet you say he's a threat!" The man quickly caught on. "You're deliberately trying to make me an enemy of the Park family!""You won't offend the Park family. Whether the child is Liam's or not, he won't be accepted by them. I'll ensure nothing happens to you, isn't that enough?""No way, I can't take this job. Find someone else!" The man refused decisively.Sophia furrowed her brows. "I can pay more.""It's not about the money! I can't harm such a small child."And if the child was indeed Liam's, it would be like dancing on the edge of a cliff—nothing good would come of it."How many lives have you taken? Don't act all virtuous now,"

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
