A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 396: Your Mother’s First Name Is Suzy
Suddenly feeling a sense of closeness to his son, Liam was momentarily stunned before he tightly clasped Arthur's hand in his own."Clive will get better. When he wakes up, I'll take you to the hospital to see him."Arthur nodded, seemingly surprised by the way Liam addressed him."Why haven't you... forced me to call you Dad?" Before coming back to the country, Arthur had anticipated all sorts of scenarios.For instance, Liam might insist he call him Dad, or he might be very hostile and refuse to acknowledge him. Arthur had seen such scenes often in TV dramas.But... it seemed nothing was happening as he expected!Liam, the supposed bastard dad, neither forced him to do anything he didn't want to do nor doubted his identity. He just brought him home and took care of him."When you want to call me that, you will," Liam said. He didn't like forced affection; it wouldn't be genuine.Even when he had used certain means with Suzy, the final decision was hers. If she hadn't come to him on

Arthur clearly didn't expect Liam to guess so quickly, silently panicking that he might have caused trouble.So, he hurriedly denied it, "It's not Suzy!""Really?" Liam's eyes bore into him.Arthur immediately put on an innocent, pure expression. "Of course."He didn't realize what his denial implied.S could mean Suzy, but it could also mean Sophia.Liam's face visibly tensed, his thin lips trembling slightly.But to Arthur, it all seemed like disbelief.As Arthur was thinking how he should kept on lying, he heard Liam's voice again."Then is it Sophia?"Seeing that Liam was giving him an out, Arthur quickly waved his hands defensively, "Hey, you said just the initial! Why are you cheating? It isn’t nice to trick a child!”"Alright, I won't ask anymore."Liam realized he needed to have a serious "discussion" with his parents.Regardless of the truth, he knew he could no longer ignore Grace. He had always kept his distance to avoid the frustration and the inevitable arguments, which ke

"At this point, what else can I do?" Suzy had already prepared for the worst. "If it comes to that, I'll take the final step and confront Sophia."Suzy wasn’t entirely without leverage against Sophia.She knew that if she revealed her suspicions about her mother's death to Liam, he would investigate Sophia immediately.Perhaps she could use this to threaten Sophia, ensuring she wouldn't harm Arthur."Suzy, you're usually so clever, why are you losing your head now? All you'll do is push Sophia to take desperate measures. It won't change anything!""What else can I do? Just sit here and wait for Arthur to come back on his own?"Suzy looked at Jeffrey, her face full of exhaustion.She was on the verge of breaking down!Everything had derailed her original plan, leaving her helpless."I told you, trust me. I'll handle this! I promise Arthur won't be harmed. You go back to your normal routine and work as usual, so Liam doesn't suspect anything! Once I find Arthur, I'll bring him to you, an

Her words were tinged with a bit of resentment.After all, in Charlotte's view, the argument between Liam and Sophia led to her son ending up in the ICU. Anyone would feel uneasy about that."Liam, is that true?" Sean, however, wasn't swayed by Sophia's words. He didn't help her up but instead directly questioned Liam.He didn't like Sophia, thinking she was too scheming. Sean preferred to believe Liam."Sophia, are you saying Clive's accident happened because he didn't see the oncoming car?" Liam didn't answer directly but questioned Sophia instead. "But I checked the surveillance footage. It clearly shows a car recklessly crashing into him, causing the accident. You're distorting the facts.""I... I didn't know that! I didn't see the footage, so I just assumed he didn't see the car!"Liam's lips curled slightly as he stared at her with dark, brooding eyes."You're just trying to clear yourself of suspicion, making it seem like you knew nothing."Sophia, caught in her lie, panicked b
Last Updated : 2024-08-12A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 400: He’s Pursuing Suzy
Sophia had never heard Liam speak like this. She had assumed that he would endlessly tolerate his parents, the ones who raised him.But now, his voice was so cold that it seemed he was even prepared to make difficult decisions against his own family.She was scared.She realized that her lies were becoming more and more outrageous, and even Liam's parents couldn't protect her anymore....Liam left the hospital and got into the car.From the driver's seat, Alec glanced at his boss in the rearview mirror and spoke softly, "Mr. Park, we've made some progress on the incident where Mr. Arthur was taken from the hospital. Our people have located this address."He sent a location pin to Liam."Investigate everyone connected to this place, using any means necessary."Alec nodded but hesitated before speaking again as if he had been wrestling with his thoughts. "Mr. Park, there's something I'd like to suggest, if I may."Liam, opening his laptop, made a sound of acknowledgment, indicating Alec

Suzy ultimately decided to stay in Northorn City.She asked Wendy to bring Angela over as well.As a mother, she felt she had left Arthur overseas for far too long. Despite the risks, she couldn't bear to leave him on his own any longer.Jeffrey could only offer advice and couldn't make decisions for Suzy. Seeing she had made up her mind, he could only fully cooperate.As night fell, Suzy stood by the hotel room window, staring at the streetlights outside in a daze.After careful consideration, she took out her phone and dialed Ryan's number."Hello, Ryan, find someone to take over my project. I want to resign.""What? Resign?" Ryan's voice instinctively rose, "Suzy, do you know what you're saying?"She had always been very responsible, so Ryan never expected her to ask to quit halfway."I know I've let you down, but I can't stay in this position any longer," Suzy said. She had no idea how long she'd be gone. The project was so unpredictable that even a few hours could change everythin

Liam's sudden move caught Ryan off guard."Who did you say you were? Park Group?""Yes."Ryan chuckled deeply. "I have no intention of selling DollarMax Investment. Tell Mr. Park to forget about it! Don't think I don't know what he's up to."This wasn't about buying DollarMax Investment; it was all about Suzy!"Mr. Park is giving you one day to consider.""I have no intention of selling! What is there to consider?"Alec chuckled. "Consider whether you want to sell it willingly or whether we will have to force you to sell it.”In any case, the sale was inevitable."Are you planning to strong-arm this deal?!" Ryan stood up from his chair, fuming, "Let me tell you, no way! I am still the largest shareholder of DollarMax Investment. As long as I don't agree, you can forget about buying it!"Alec's voice remained calm, and there was the sound of paper rustling in the background."Listen, Mr. Ryan. You currently own 34% of DollarMax Investment's shares, making you the largest shareholder. Bu

"You can try doing that! I won't disturb you any longer, Mr. Ryan. Goodbye."After Alec hung up, Ryan was so furious that he smashed his phone to pieces on the floor.Standing up, he immediately called his secretary over. "Issue an order to fire Suzy from DollarMax Investment!""What?" The secretary was stunned.He just told them to keep Suzy's contract, and now he wanted to fire her?"Do it now!""But... retrieving the contract requires three business days."Ryan clenched his fist tightly. “Then terminate her unlawfully. I'll cover the compensation myself!"The secretary nodded and hurried out.But soon after, he came back, stumbling over his words, "Mr. Ryan, the HR department says... you're no longer the largest shareholder of DollarMax. The decision to fire Miss Chase has been overruled by the current largest shareholder...""Liam!" Ryan pounded his fist on the desk. "Alright, great! Wonderful!"The secretary had never seen Ryan like this. Ryan was usually cheerful, rarely even fro

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
