A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 406: Breach the Contract
“Wait, you want to go up against the Park Group?” Suzy furrowed her brows. “Ryan, you don’t stand a chance.”“Do you expect me to just let him trample over me like this?” Ryan was furious.Because of his pursuit of Suzy, Clive must have told Liam. He had been quiet all this time, so Ryan assumed…He assumed Liam had accepted it.But this sudden takeover of DollarMax caught him completely off guard! It felt like they were tossing money at him and shoving him aside like he was nothing!Ryan had never faced such humiliation in his life!“Ryan, you can’t fight the Park Group.” Suzy wasn’t siding with Liam; she was stating the facts.DollarMax might be sizable, but it paled in comparison to the Park Group.If Liam had set his sights on DollarMax, unless he changed his mind, public opinion wouldn't stop him. Even if every other company in the country announced they wouldn’t cooperate with the Park Group, he’d only lose the domestic market.Besides, in business, how many companies would sever

Suzy hesitated.It wasn't that she suddenly wanted to work in Park Group, but she couldn't afford the breach of contract penalty.If it was just the penalty stated in the contract, she could grit her teeth and pay it. But taking on the responsibility for the entire Windsting City resort development? That was impossible.Given that Liam went as far as to spend heavily to acquire DollarMax, would he care about a resort development project?As the company's president, he could manipulate the project to incur as much loss as he wanted.A multi-billion project, if the responsibility were transferred to her, she couldn’t afford it even if she sold everything she had.“Miss Chase, please reconsider. If you change your mind, you’re welcome to join the Park Group.”The HR person hung up, leaving Suzy sitting dejectedly on the bed.It was clear that Liam had blocked all her escape routes, leaving no room for maneuver.But why had he made such a drastic decision?...At the hospital, Clive still

"Do you really need to hide your intentions?"Before Suzy came into the picture, Liam wouldn't have paid any attention to DollarMax! His sudden acquisition made his motives obvious to everyone."What evidence do you have to prove that?"Ryan was speechless.Liam and Ryan stood face to face, with Liam slightly taller, looking down at Ryan."Instead of wasting time here, you should focus on acquiring more shares to maintain your position as the largest shareholder.""I will!"Liam smiled. "Mr. Ryan, I heard you’re planning to buy shares at double my offer."Ryan straightened his back, his face showing a bit of mockery. "That's right, I said it! And I'm using cash flow to do it."Liam nodded, his tall and slender figure standing opposite Ryan as if he were the CEO listening to a subordinate's report, with Ryan being that subordinate."Impressive, certainly attractive! I wish you success."With that, Liam turned to walk towards his car.Ryan felt like he hadn't threatened Liam at all, whic

Since he couldn't compete with Liam financially, Ryan decided to compete for Suzy's affection.After all, he had leverage over her. At the very least, he could create situations to annoy Liam easily.Despite being the high-and-mighty president of Park Group, Liam still had Suzy as his weakness....Sophia knew about Liam's efforts to find a doctor for Clive. She was more panicked than even Clive's parents! If Clive woke up, the whole truth would come out!Most things wouldn't matter much, even if Liam found out. Arthur's kidnapping could be covered up by his parents. But... if Liam learned the real reason behind his divorce from Suzy...The consequences were unimaginable.After all these years, it was clear that Liam still had a place for Suzy in his heart, showing how deeply he loved her. If he found out that she caused Suzy's mother's death…He would surely make her pay with her life.Desperate, Sophia placed her hopes on Liam's mother, her only lifeline."Mrs. Park, I'm afraid Liam

" Mrs. Park, when I saved you back then, I wasn't thinking about all this. I just wanted to protect you because I knew if anything happened to you, Liam would be devastated.""That's why I've always believed you're the most sensible and the one who loves my son the most! I don't acknowledge anyone else, not even Suzy! If those people had really taken my photos back then and used them to threaten the Park Group, the Park family would have been at their mercy! My husband and I would have—""Mrs. Park, please stop!" Sophia quickly interrupted. "Let's not dwell on the past! I've never regretted saving you, even if it means I never end up with Liam."The more Sophia spoke this way, the more guilty Grace felt.Those people had intended to humiliate Grace, taking compromising photos to blackmail the Park Group! If they had succeeded, she couldn't imagine how she and her husband would continue living, nor how the Park family would be controlled by others!Sophia had risked everything to rush i

The reason of being "accustomed to working with her" effectively silenced everyone.Who dared to question the CEO's chosen assistant?After the meeting ended, Liam got up and left, with Alec following him into the executive elevator.Once the doors closed, Alec reported, "The HR department has already notified Miss Chase to assume her position.""Good," Liam responded calmly. "She will likely try to resign."He knew Suzy's thoughts well."Yes, but with the contract in place, she won't dare to resign easily."As Alec finished speaking, the elevator doors opened.Liam stepped out, paused, and slightly turned his face towards Alec. "Do you think what I'm doing is a bit despicable?"Over the years, despite his high position, Liam had never abused his power or forcibly coerced anyone. Even when he intended for Suzy to work at the Park Group's headquarters, he had Alec groom her first rather than having her parachuted in.This was the first time Liam had disregarded someone's feelings.Alec

Jeffrey couldn’t bear the thought of someday receiving news of Suzy’s death...He knew it would drive him insane.“I know you’re looking out for me, but right now, I don’t have a choice.”Before Suzy could finish speaking, Jeffrey suddenly walked towards the door.She was startled and quickly grabbed him. “Where are you going?”“I’m going to find Liam! I want to ask him what his endgame is! He’s already caused your mother’s death—does he need to destroy you too before he’s satisfied?”“Don’t go.” Suzy blocked his path. “Jeff, I promise I’ll protect myself! Until B7’s surveillance is back up, we need to keep a low profile.”She wanted everyone responsible for her mother’s suffering to face justice, but she couldn’t risk alerting them now.“You’re stepping into the abyss again! Suzy, I’m scared of losing you.”He couldn’t imagine life without Suzy, nor could he fathom the torturous methods those people might use once they targeted her.“I know what I’m doing. Trust me.” Suzy was ready to

Suzy met his gaze, resolute and serious."Yes."Jeffrey suddenly smiled, stepping back a few paces, a bitter smile tugging at his lips. "Alright, alright... as you wish, I'll go on the dates."...After a long day at work, Liam declined any overtime and drove back to Easter Bay.On the way, he made a stop at the supermarket to buy some vegetables and fruits before heading home.As he parked the car downstairs, he got out and looked up at the lit living room, his lips curving into a slight smile.Having a little one waiting at home every day felt quite good.He now pushed aside any work he could and brought the rest home, just to spend more time with the little guy.Unlocking the door, Liam saw the small figure on the sofa, engrossed in his computer.Arthur was no longer hiding his activities, openly tinkering with Liam's computer!Unfortunately, he still hadn't managed to crack it."Anything special you want for dinner? I'll cook it for you."Arthur heard him and put down the computer,

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
A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 428: Deranged CEO
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
