A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 383: Go After Your Dad
Before he got to see his dad, he got kidnapped!Arthur was not someone to mess with."Ding—"A message popped up on the phone."Did you go after your dad?" B7 asked.Arthur pouted and replied, "Mm-hmm! Teacher, you'll help me, right?""You sure know how to stir up trouble, landing me such a huge job with the Park Group! If it weren't for your begging, I wouldn't even consider this for less than ten million dollars.""Well, I'm your last apprentice!"Arthur even added a tongue-out emoji at the end.As a result, B7 directly blacked out the chat box.Arthur knew that this meant his mentor had agreed. He was always elusive, but whenever Arthur needed help, he was never stingy.…With Jeffrey around, Suzy finally dared to let herself get drunk.Since he was worried that no one would take care of her, Jeffrey didn't drink much; it was all her drinking.The difference this time was that he didn't stop her.How often could one get drunk in life?During such painful times, it was better to drin

Suzy was startled, sobering up quite a bit.She had been so caught up in her sadness that she forgot she was in Northorn City, where she could run into people who knew her."I came here for some business. I'm leaving tomorrow.”Ryan's voice grew louder. "I'm not asking when you're leaving. Who was the man you went into the hotel with?"His tone now was as if he had caught a cheating wife.Suzy furrowed her delicate brows. She didn't need to explain herself to him, but she didn't have the time to argue either, so she said, "I drank too much. A friend's cousin was just helping me back to the hotel.""Really?""Why would I lie to you? You're my boss, and I'm on vacation."Ryan was at a loss for words. "I'm just concerned about you! Don't trouble your friend's cousin. I have a friend in Northorn City. I'll ask her to look after you. She's a woman, so it'll be more convenient.""No need."Her blunt refusal made Ryan feel humiliated.But Suzy was in no mood to care about that now."Suzy, I'm

As soon as Clive mentioned Suzy, Liam went silent, as if someone had hit the mute button.Clive smirked, "You don't believe me, do you? Just to make sure you believe me, I took photos of them! I'll send them to you right now!""No need," Liam finally spoke. "Since they’re married, going in and out of hotels is normal."Clive was speechless."Anything else?"Liam's sudden calmness and composed tone threw Clive off.He had expected Liam to...To rush out and find her!But maybe that wasn't the scene he wanted to witness after all."No, nothing else.""Don't be late for the morning meeting," Liam said before hanging up.Clive clicked his tongue and tossed his phone aside.When he arrived at the company and walked in, he saw Sophia talking to some people in their department.Clive initially planned to ignore her, but Sophia didn't let him succeed."Wait a minute!"With his escape foiled, Clive had no choice but to stop."What's up?""Of course there's something up! I need to ask you about

"Arthur?! Where are you now?"Clive was shocked to receive a call from Arthur and thought he must be dreaming. For the past few days, all he could think about was finding this missing child!"I was kidnapped, but I managed to escape! Sir, can you send someone to pick me up?"Hearing this, Clive immediately frowned. "Kidnapped?""Yes! I was sleeping that day, and when I woke up, I found myself in a dark place."Hearing this, Sophia's name instantly popped into Clive's mind. But he knew that wasn't the main concern right now."Where are you? I'll come get you!""Okay, Sir."After hanging up, Clive immediately sent people to the address Arthur provided."You guys go here and pick up a boy. Don't make any mistakes!"Clive called over two male assistants, thinking it would help avoid any issues.Just as they were about to leave, Clive changed his mind. "Wait! I'll go myself," he said, chasing after them.His carelessness had led to the child's kidnapping last time. Although he didn't know

"I've been trying to contact him all along, but he's elusive, and no one knows where he is or what he looks like! I can only reach out to people who have dealt with him before and see if I can get a response from him."Suzy nodded, knowing that Jeffrey must have done his best, and there was no need to push him further."I can only pin my hopes on this person now."Jeffrey hesitated for a moment and then said, "After this incident, I suddenly realized that Arthur has a talent for computers and the internet. Maybe you should... let him give it a try?"Suzy looked at him and shook her head. "No, even if Arthur has the ability, I don't want him to see that scene."Arthur was already a thoughtful child, not as innocent and naive as Angela. If he were to recover the video, he would be the first to see it, and that would not be good for his growth.It was a murder scene!He would harbor even deeper hatred toward the Park family.Jeffrey understood Suzy's concern as a mother and nodded in agre

Suzy looked at him, bemused."Your thinking is a bit disturbing," she said."It's not disturbing. If they die, it's just karma.”Suzy's lips twitched uncomfortably. The topic was sensitive. "Besides, Liam has already remarried. Two kids suddenly appearing would be really unfair to his current wife."Ever since she saw the bite mark on Liam's shoulder, Suzy had felt a sense of guilt.She never thought she would covet another woman's husband! But the fact was, she did, and even went to Liam's house to do it!If she put herself in Liam's current wife's shoes, how would she feel knowing this?She really shouldn't have done that!"Don't think too much. You're already prepared to leave. All the domestic drama will be in the past, and everything will be over.""Yes, once I leave, time will heal everything."She sincerely hoped that with her departure, Liam could truly let go of his feelings and really love his wife, like he loved her.As they were talking, Suzy's phone suddenly beeped.She lo

Clive was stunned by Arthur's words.Was he really talking to a little kid?"You intercepted a number?" he asked in disbelief."Yes! Waiting for you guys to rescue me was taking too long," Arthur replied calmly. He spoke without any hint of boasting about his intelligence as if he were just discussing the weather.Clive stared at him, utterly amazed. It was as if he was seeing the world in a whole new light."Then give me the number."Arthur glanced at him and suddenly shook his head. "I can't just give it to you. You couldn't even find me; I had to escape on my own!"Clive was speechless."We can make a deal," Arthur said, squinting as he smiled. He looked exactly like a miniature version of Liam, except Liam rarely smiled. "Can I use your work computer?"Clive didn't understand what Arthur wanted to do, but seeing how capable the boy was, he knew he needed to be careful."My computer has a lot of important stuff on it. It's not something you can just play around with," Clive explaine

Arthur didn't believe that once he was inside Liam's home, he couldn't find any flaws in his company!Just as Liam was about to speak, Clive quickly intervened, worried that they might clash right after their first meeting. He waved his hand and said, "Liam, the kid just met you, so he might be a bit wary! Take him home and talk to him later. For now, let's get some food. I'm hungry, and he probably is too!"After saying that, Clive gave Arthur a meaningful look.Receiving the signal, Arthur reluctantly nodded. "Yes, I'm hungry.""Okay." Liam, feeling a bit at a loss with this sudden arrival of his son, was grateful for Clive's presence, which eased the awkwardness.When they arrived at the restaurant, Liam ordered a table full of dishes, unsure of what children liked to eat.As Arthur ate with his head down, Clive leaned in to Liam and whispered, "I have to tell you, your son is a genius with computers!"Liam glanced at him. "I've noticed.""Huh?""The software crash at Park Group was

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
