Sean was also giving Sophia a chance. If she was willing to be honest, he was open to giving her an opportunity.But if she continued to be evasive, it would indicate that she was involved in the car accident."Mr. Gray, do you not trust me?""Should I trust you?" Sean met her gaze directly, no longer holding back. "Sophia, have you lied so much that you’ve forgotten what you said earlier? When my son first arrived at the hospital, you knelt and admitted that you argued with him about Liam, causing him to leave the company angrily. And now you say it was because of work?"Having been in the business world for decades, Sean was not easily deceived.He wasn’t going to take her words at face value.Sean hadn't pressed the issue at the time, letting things cool off. Now he was catching her by surprise. If she could stick to her original story, he might believe her. If not, she'd be his prime suspect!Sean had no ties with Sophia's family. If someone tried to harm his son, he wouldn’t let

Suzy never imagined she would ever step into the Park Group again.Although her current company was DollarMax, and her position reflected she was the Project Director for DollarMax, her office had been moved to this building.Fortunately, Peter had also been summoned back to Park Group, so at least there was someone she knew.In contrast to Suzy's reluctance, Peter was extremely excited. As soon as they arrived in the waiting room of Park Group, his face lit up, and he started chatting with her enthusiastically."A few weeks ago, I got my fortune read, and it said good luck and money were coming my way. Turns out it was right! I'm so excited to be working at Park Group now - I can hardly believe it!"Suzy just smiled and nodded politely."You've heard of the CEO of Park Group, Liam Park, right? He's a legend in the business world. I wonder if we'll see him today!" Peter was practically trembling with excitement, ready to snap a photo of Liam at any moment.Anyone who didn't know better

Liam dropped this bombshell and then turned to leave.The subsequent job assignments were handled by the head of the HR department.Suzy was shocked to hear Liam call out her name in public. During their marriage, he had never been this open about their relationship at the company. At most, he would wait for her after work so they could go home together.Today, he came to the waiting room in person and said her name aloud, which was practically announcing to everyone from DollarMax that they had a complicated relationship!Was he out of his mind?"Mr. Park… did he just say your name?" Suzy was stunned, and Peter was even more so.He almost thought he was hallucinating."It seems so...""You know him?" Peter's eyes widened."We were middle school classmates! Don't overthink it. I'll explain when I get back."After saying that, Suzy quickly got up and left the waiting room. It was hard to explain her relationship with Liam, and she didn't understand his intentions for doing this.…Havi

"Mr. Park, you're here! I'll get back to work now.""Hmm."Alec immediately put on a cheerful face upon seeing Liam and didn't forget to wave goodbye to Suzy as he left.Suzy was speechless and really wished he had taken her with him.On this floor of the CEO's office, it was usually just Liam and Alec. Anyone else needed Liam's permission to come up.So, now no one could save Suzy.Instinctively, she took a step back, keeping a safe distance from Liam.Suzy didn't want anyone to misunderstand her relationship with him. Even if she didn't care about her own reputation, she had to consider the feelings of Liam's current partner.As a woman, Suzy felt that if Liam's partner found out he was alone with his ex-wife, she would definitely be upset.Even though she had no idea who this "she" was."What are you avoiding?""Nothing."Liam knew she was being stubborn, so he just raised an eyebrow slightly. "Let's talk inside."He strode toward the office, but there was no sound of footsteps foll

Suzy was so furious that she spoke without thinking, snapping back, "You were the one who didn't want me to call you Mr. Park back then!"This response was exactly what Liam had hoped for."What was our relationship back then, and what is it now?""You—"Liam sat there, looking all businesslike, as if she was the unreasonable one!"Miss Chase, we're discussing work. If you have any personal matters to discuss, I can wait for you after work.""I have no personal matters to discuss with you!" Suzy's eyes widened as she ground her teeth. "Since the decision has been made, HR could have just informed me of the transfer. Why call me to the CEO's office alone? This creates misunderstandings, Mr. Park."She emphasized the last two words heavily.Liam remained unperturbed, merely smiling slightly, "What’s there to misunderstand?”Seeing him feign ignorance, Suzy decided to be blunt, "The public would misunderstand that you have a crush on me!""Oh." Liam suddenly stood up, taking long strides

If it were him, he'd certainly seize the opportunity to secure immense wealth!Peter's reminder for her to take advantage of this situation wasn't purely out of kindness. He was hoping that if she could build a good relationship with Liam, he'd have a way to connect with Liam himself!Sucking up to her now could lead to his own meteoric rise.Peter had already made some money while at DollarMax, but compared to Park Group, it was a drop in the bucket!If Liam appreciated his work ability even a little, how much could he earn in the future? He didn't even dare to imagine!"Thanks for the reminder, but I just want to earn some money peacefully. Sucking up to the CEO is too difficult."If possible, she just wanted to leave Park Group entirely."Then can you find a way to get me in front of Mr. Park?" Peter finally revealed his true intention. "Don't worry, if I make it big, I'll never forget your introduction today!"Suzy could only smile and nod. "Sure, if there's a chance."Seeing her r

Suzy felt like she was walking on eggshells.Breathing the air in Park Group felt both thrilling and terrifying."Didn't he already announce his marriage? Is Liam doing this to honor his wife?""Perhaps you should ask Mr. Park about that!"How should Alec respond?Liam had strictly forbidden any gossip."Never mind, I won't trouble you anymore." Suzy's shoulders slumped. "Thank you, Mr. Lincoln.""You're welcome." Alec smiled, then glanced at his watch. "Mr. Park's meeting should end in about an hour. Just wait for him at his reserved parking spot.""Just give me the address, and I'll go by myself!" She wanted to stay as far from Liam as possible."Ah, Miss Chase, what’s the point in struggling now? Maybe Mr. Park really just wants to discuss work with you. The more you resist, the more awkward it becomes for everyone. Or… do you have other thoughts?"Suzy was speechless.Alec was about to leave but suddenly stopped at the door."By the way, I have something to say.""Go ahead.""Last

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

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

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

"...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!
