A 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,"

Liam could only trust Alec to handle this matter.After giving his instructions, Alec was about to hang up when Liam suddenly added, "Focus the investigation on Sophia.""Miss Burns? But Mr. Park, Clive said she was with him at the time.""She may not have gone herself, but that doesn't mean she didn't send someone else."Liam found Clive's account of Sophia peculiar. First, when did she move to live so far away from the city?Despite knowing her for years and her having no history of heart problems, she suddenly fell ill at such a critical moment. After being admitted to the hospital, her health turned out to be perfectly fine.It was highly suspicious."Understood, Mr. Park. I'll start tracking her movements right away.""Be discreet. I’m worried she might do something to the child.""Got it."Setting down his phone, Liam glanced out the car window. The hospital was just ahead, and his emotions were a mix of anxiety and hope.He was scared.Scared that the results wouldn't be what h

At least, if he hadn’t left his sight, no one could have taken him away.Now, Clive was really worried that Arthur hadn’t been taken by family but by someone else with other motives.Wait—Someone with other motives.A possibility suddenly struck Clive.Sophia!Who would least want Liam to have a child? Who would least want Liam to meet that child? Who had been the most active in contacting him before the incident?It was all her!Clive immediately dialed her number, but Sophia didn’t answer. She just declined the call.However, each time she declined, Clive redialed until she finally answered, her tone filled with irritation.“I’m waiting for an important call! Can’t this wait?”“You always do this when you call me,” Clive snapped, losing all patience. “Sophia, let me ask you, did you take the child?”Sophia laughed upon hearing this.“What nonsense are you talking about? I was with you the whole time. How could I have taken the child, with a clone?”“You probably had someone else do

Clive laughed mockingly.“Ruin you? You've become so ruthless that I hardly recognize you! The Sophia I knew was gentle, sensible, graceful, willing to go to great lengths for the Park Group, and fiercely defended the company’s interests in court! Look at you now, you're a completely different person.”“If it weren't for Suzy, if she hadn't taken Liam, I—”“If she hadn't, would Liam have fallen in love with you? Don't be ridiculous! I don’t have time for this. Since you won’t admit it, I’m going to see Liam.”As he was about to hang up, Sophia suddenly said, “You can’t go! Clive, if you do this, I will never forgive you!”Clive frowned, sensing he was getting closer to the truth. “What are you so afraid of?”“If you go to Liam with this, it will only make his impression of me worse! You can investigate me; I don’t mind. But don’t let Liam do it.” She knew that if Liam got involved, things would become much more complicated.She had planned to quietly handle the child without anyone kno

“Alright, alright! I'll do it right away!”The director didn't dare say anything else and quickly called his subordinates to retrieve the records.At this point, privacy was not a concern. Angering Liam could mean the end of the hospital.Liam sat silently in a chair, the air around him thick with tension. No one dared to even breathe heavily.The silence was broken by the ringing of a phone.It was Liam's mother calling.He had already declined her call once, but she called again.The second time, he answered.“Mom.”“You still remember I'm your mother? Why did you hang up on me?” Grace began with accusations. “Are you trying to disown me now?”Liam frowned, already guessing what this was about.The only person who would bring his mother into this now was Sophia.“Do you need something? I'm busy.”“Busy with what? Looking for some illegitimate child who may not even be yours?”“Yes.” Liam saw no need to hide anything. “Since the child looks like me, there's a possibility he's mine. I

Liam couldn't respond to that. It was clear she didn't want to tell him anything."Besides, what’s wrong with Sophia? Tell me! In terms of looks, talent, and ability, what’s lacking?""Character.""And you think Suzy has good character? She agreed to marry you just for the money! A woman who would sell her marriage for money—you call that good character?" Grace wasn’t one to be taken lightly. She had investigated thoroughly and knew Suzy agreed to marry Liam to pay for her mother's medical treatment.In the end, it was all about money!"I believe in her character, and that's enough. No one else needs to judge her.""You—""Mom, I won’t marry Sophia."Even though he had told his mother countless times before, he didn’t mind repeating it once more."Then you might as well disown me as your mother!"Grace angrily hung up the phone. Liam frowned deeply, feeling a pang of guilt.He realized that upsetting her like this could lead to sleepless nights, hospital visits, and even jeopardize h

Sophia had planned everything meticulously, but she never anticipated the child would manage to escape!"Then hurry up and catch him! Let me tell you, if this gets exposed, we’re both finished! Liam won't spare us!""I’ve already sent my people to search for him, but there’s no news yet. I'll inform you as soon as we find him.""Not if, you have to find him! Don’t force me to take action against you."Sophia couldn’t bear to think about what would happen if Liam found out she tried to kill the child.Her entire carefully crafted persona would be ruined!Not only that, if this man was caught, all their previous deeds would be uncovered...No, she couldn’t let that happen.If necessary, she would make sure this man and their secrets disappeared from the world together....Five hundred meters from the secret warehouse, Arthur was looking at the moving figures on his phone.He then calmly changed the entrance code to spell out "Idiot" and deleted all the system's data.How dare they try t

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
