A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 40: You and Liam Were Classmates
"Alright, I'll head over now."When it came to work matters, Suzy couldn't afford to slack off. After notifying her mother, she promptly hailed a taxi to Park Group's headquarters.She hadn't been to this place many times before. Previously, it was only during FortuneWave's annual meetings that she had the opportunity to visit. Upon entering the lobby, the word 'magnificent' was an understatement! The natural crystal chandeliers hanging from above alone must have cost millions. The surroundings resembled a museum, adorned with antiques and genuine artworks.Following Sophia's instructions, Suzy took the 12th elevator and went straight to the ninth floor. As soon as she arrived, she saw Sophia's office with the title tag "General Counsel" displayed on the door, emphasizing her importance within Park Group."You came quickly," Sophia, now dressed in a branded suit with subtle makeup, but exuding elegance, remarked."Is the Far East Corporation contract already done?" Suzy preferred no

In each sentence, she spoke with a casual tone, as if she were just chatting with a friend. However, every word served as a constant reminder to Suzy about the distance that existed between her and Liam.Sophia never asked for details after saying something, she just casually spoke, and then smoothly transitioned to the next topic.Sometimes, it gave Suzy the illusion that she was being too sensitive.At last, they had the contract finalized.Suzy secretly breathed a sigh of relief and stood up. "Thank you, Miss Burns. I'll be leaving now.""Oh, where's the hurry? Liam should be waking up soon. Let me go call him, and we can have lunch together."Liam... waking up soon?She paused for a moment, then heard Sophia's explanation. "I don't know what he was up to last night. I asked him, but he wouldn't say a word! After two consecutive meetings this morning, I could see he was too tired, so I let him rest for a while."Suzy kept quiet and thought that it was normal for Liam not to say an

Wendy's cousin, Jeffrey Palmer, whom Suzy had met before, displayed a notably distinct personality compared to Wendy. He appeared mature and composed, having achieved the position of a physics professor at a relatively young age, indicating a well-educated background.As Suzy arrived at the entrance of the church, she saw Wendy standing next to a pillar, waving frantically at her.Suzy walked over with a hint of helplessness. "With so many people here, aren't you worried about them laughing at you?"“Why should I be worried? It's because there's such a crowd that I was concerned you might not see me!" Wendy laughed and gestured towards the person beside her. "This is my cousin, Jeffrey Palmer. You remember him, right? He's a professor who loves to chat!"Suzy smiled and replied, "I remember him."When Suzy and Wendy left their previous jobs and began working at FortuneWave together, Jeffrey, worried about his cousin, had taken the initiative to purchase a conveniently located small d

"Mr. Park?!"Suzy hadn't even had a chance to react when Wendy, standing behind her, exclaimed with astonishment.The sudden appearance of Liam here was as unbelievable as winning the lottery!Suzy could already imagine Wendy's expression without turning around, and she anticipated a barrage of questions. So, she quickly composed herself, putting on a professional smile, and briskly walked up to the car."Mr. Park, is there something you want to ask me regarding work?”Liam gave a cold glance at the person behind her but didn't reveal anything. "Get in.""Alright."Suzy nodded quickly and then waved to Wendy beside her. "I have some business to attend to here, so I'll leave now! I’ll see you next week."Seizing the moment before the situation could escalate, she got into the car promptly.During the journey, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere inside the car felt somewhat eerie. Suzy couldn't pinpoint the reason, but she wondered if it had something to do with... a sleepless ni

Liam rarely used this tone in private conversations, which meant he had made up his mind."Then thank you, Mr. Park."...When they arrived at the Park Group headquarters, Liam went straight to the conference room.Suzy felt like he was in meetings all day long.She carried her bag and went directly to find Alec, and upon seeing him, she understood why he sounded so familiar! Wasn't this the same person who had blocked her at the door when she went to see Liam for a contract in Newton City?"Miss Chase." Alec didn't seem surprised, as if he had known who she was all along."You don't have to be so formal, just call me Suzy!" She was here for training, which meant she was apprenticing under Alec, so she couldn't let him address her so formally.Her words seemed to surprise Alec."No, Mr. Park personally asked me to take care of you, so I'll call you Miss Chase." Alec had been with Liam for many years and had never seen anyone of the opposite sex get close to Liam in any special way.

Liam spotted Suzy just as she was about to hide herself."Suzy," he called her in a low and magnetic voice, his tone deliberate.With her game of hide and seek foiled, Suzy reluctantly walked over. "Mr. Park, Miss Burns.""We'll head off first." As soon as she approached, Liam opened the car door and got in.Sophia waved, offering a smile to Suzy. "Take care on the road, both of you. Liam, we'll discuss our matters when you return from your business trip.""Alright."Suzy patiently waited until Sophia had left before she joined Liam in the car. She discreetly glanced at him, her curiosity piqued by what Sophia had mentioned as "our matters." What could it be?"Feeling tired?" Liam used his slender fingers to adjust his tie and casually unbuttoned the top button of his shirt.From Suzy's angle, she could vaguely make out a tattoo on his collarbone."I'm alright. Mr. Lincoln didn't burden me with too much work.""If the workload becomes too much, let him know." His intention for Suzy

It seemed like Wendy didn’t lie to Suzy this time.“I'm going on a business trip tomorrow. I'll discuss it with my manager when I come back! This project is indeed promising.”Jeffrey replied shortly, "Are you going on a business trip tomorrow too?"“Yes, I'm heading to West City tomorrow.”“What a coincidence! I'm also going to West City tomorrow. I've been invited to give a lecture at the University of Technology. If you have time, we can meet up, and I can discuss this project with you in more detail.”Suzy wasn't sure if Jeffrey only wanted to talk about work when he suddenly asked her out or if it was a set-up by Wendy.However, she did think the project was an excellent idea.She couldn't afford to miss out on this project just because of her suspicions.After some thought, she replied, "Alright, we can stay in touch."Setting her phone aside, Suzy entered the bathroom. When she came out, she noticed an unread text message, but it wasn't from her WhatsApp.Upon opening it, she re
Last Updated : 2024-02-18A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 47: Arriving At West City
Seeing her so earnestly discussing their marriage as if it were a business matter, Liam sighed."Let's wait a little longer." He thought he might have been too impatient....Early the next morning, John came to pick them up for the airport.Throughout the journey, Liam was busy communicating with shareholders, not even having time to take a sip of water. It wasn't until they were on the plane that he finally leaned back in his seat to rest.Suzy naturally didn't disturb him. It was a good time for her to go through the materials sent by Alec.The deeper she delved into this project, the more questions she had. The energy-saving company did indeed have good prospects. However, did it really require the CEO of a major corporation like Liam to personally go on a business trip to West City? It seemed like even if they doubled the investment amount, it wouldn't attract his attention.He must have other matters to attend to.The flight from Northorn City to West City took three hours. Su

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
