A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 1: A Man or A Blue Movie
"Have you ever had sex with a man?”As night fell, Suzy Chase, who was on a business trip and had indulged in a little alcohol, should have retired to her slumber. Nevertheless, the moment she shut her eyes, her friend Wendy Park’s words started echoing in her mind."Trust me, it's amazing. Seriously, go find yourself a hot guy while you're still young! If you can't find one, don't be shy about DIY. Plus, I've got a stash of adult movies, if you need a little inspiration, call me."She couldn't remember what response she gave to Wendy back then.Suzy lay on the hotel bed, her delicate face blushing from the alcohol, her thick, flowing hair scattered around her like seaweed.In just one month, she would turn twenty-six, already an adult woman, but she had never had a boyfriend, her first kiss remained untouched, and other intimate encounters seemed like distant dreams.In fact, Wendy had brought it up before, often discussing explicit topics on a daily basis. However, today, it unexpect

At dawn, Suzy awoke to find the man next to her still sound asleep. His powerful arm enveloped her entirely, and his steady breath lightly teased her neck.Aching and tingling sensations surged between her legs as the last traces of drunkenness dissipated, and her rationality returned.What had she done?...She had actually slept with the CEO!Suzy's breath caught in her throat, and she carefully withdrew from his embrace, then hurriedly got out of bed, put on her clothes, packed her belongings, and rushed out of room 1501 as if her life depended on it, heading straight to the hotel reception to book another room.As she was making the payment on her phone, she suddenly realized that the one she had asked for the adult films from wasn’t Wendy, but Liam!A few years ago, during a middle school reunion, the class monitor created a group chat, encouraging everyone to add each other as friends. Suzy still remembered clearly that it was Liam who added her first. However, after accepting, he

Wendy had quite a loud voice, and when she suddenly exclaimed, all eyes, including Liam's, turned in their direction.Fortunately, Liam only glanced briefly and then averted his gaze, without saying a word. He walked away from the hotel with his long strides.After everyone had left, Wendy approached with a gossip-hungry expression."Hey? Why did Mr. Park ask that question?"This puzzled Suzy because she had initially expected something dramatic to unfold, but it ended up being this instead.Suzy, however, felt like she had been given a break and, with a dry throat, she said, "My room had a great view; perhaps he wanted to switch rooms with me.”"Is that it?""Well, he is the CEO."Wendy shrugged and acknowledged that there wouldn't be much of a connection between them due to the significant hierarchy difference between Liam and Suzy."Do you think a handsome guy like Mr. Park would be passionate in bed? With his height, I bet he's well-endowed!"Suzy chose to remain silent.

In the world of investment banking companies, the role of public relations, often dubbed the "facilitator of social engagement and cheerful demeanor," held widespread recognition.She never expected that Liam would see her in the same light. Did he believe that Desmond had also orchestrated last night's events?Liam's words hurt Suzy deeply, but with others around, she had no option but to swallow her pride and stay put for the time being.This job was crucial to her; she needed the money to cover her mother's medical expenses.Seeing the atmosphere grow cold, Desmond quickly put on a smile. "She's been my associate all along, Mr. Park. You're reading too much into it. I simply thought that since both of you are from West City, you might have some shared interests, which is why I invited her to join us. If it bothers you, I can send her back right away."After saying this, he gave a meaningful look to Suzy. She was about to leave when Liam finally spoke, "Please, take a seat."Suzy was

Moreover, that tattoo appeared to have been there for quite some time, deeply etched into the skin, unlike a recent addition.If Wendy's statement held true, then 0825 must be the birthday of someone special to him! After all, Suzy was aware of Liam's birthday; it fell in April. In contrast, the birthdays of the Park Group Chairman and his wife, who were Liam's parents, both fell in July.Of course, it had no connection to her!Her birthday was on November 14th.None of those four numbers aligned with hers. Reflecting on it, the fact that Liam, a man so reserved to his core, would engage in such a wild and somewhat immature act as getting a tattoo, suggested he must be deeply in love with someone.Suzy suddenly regretted acting impulsively the previous night. Why hadn't she thought to ask whether Liam was single? Liam might be attractive and possess impressive capabilities, but due to her strong sense of morality, she wouldn’t want to get involved with someone else's man, no mat

"Wendy, this is an extremely urgent situation! Can you please find a way to get Mr. Park's phone number?"Suzy had blocked him on WhatsApp and even left all the shared groups. Now, her only hope lay in Wendy!On the other end, it was clear that Wendy had not yet fully awakened, and her voice carried a hint of drowsiness. "Who?""Liam Park...""You must be sleepwalking. You should go back to your bed.""I don't have time to provide a detailed explanation. This is a serious matter!"The supervisor from the collaborating company had left the country immediately after signing the contract. Suzy couldn't possibly ask them to return just to sign a new contract with her!Wendy also sensed that Suzy wasn't joking. She sat up in bed and thought for a moment. “I definitely can't get you his number, but you can go to his room and find him.”Right, of course!Suzy quickly hung up the phone, threw on some clothes, and rushed to the hotel's presidential suite.However, as soon as she got o

"Mr. Park."Suzy took only a few seconds to respond, "I have a boyfriend."This kind of unbelievable stroke of luck had never happened to her in her entire life, and she couldn't bring herself to believe it now. Whether he was testing her further or genuinely needed a marriage partner for some reason, she had no interest in getting involved. So, she lied about having a boyfriend, which she believed would resolve the entire issue.Upon hearing her words, Liam pressed his thin lips together slightly, and his gaze grew more serious."Really?""Why would I lie to you, Mr. Park?"Before he could say anything, Suzy inclined slightly and said, "I won't bother you any longer, Mr. Park. Please give me the contract.""Alright."Mr. Park nodded curtly, and without further ado, he mentioned that the contract was with his secretary and then closed the door to the suite.Suzy hurriedly left with the contract, wanting to believe that the conversation just now had been a figment of her imagination.Li

Finally, pushing the matter aside, Suzy returned to her room to start packing her luggage. It was fortunate that this business trip had been uneventful, and she wasn't just referring to the incident that had upset Desmond.Suzy tried hard to suppress her thoughts, not to dwell on Liam's face. Unfortunately, her mind had a mind of its own, persisting until her phone, resting on the table, began to ring incessantly. She hurried over to answer it, and as soon as she saw the hospital's number, her heart sank. Even her hand trembled unconsciously as she pressed the answer button. "Is this Miss Chase? Your mother suffered a sudden heart attack, and her condition is critical. She has been taken to the emergency room. Please come quickly!"Suzy's mind went blank, and she almost couldn't stand on her feet. But time didn't allow her any further delay. After just a few seconds of hesitation, she immediately rushed to change her flight. Only after she had boarded did she remember to as

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
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
