A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 46: He’s the Only Man
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

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

"...I'm not afraid of being seen; I'm worried about people speculating about our relationship."Liam had been in the business world from the start, and he had never been involved in any scandalous news. The only rumors that might have circulated were related to him and Sophia.Now, on a business trip, if people were to spread rumors about him bringing a female associate and behaving intimately, it could cause unnecessary trouble.Besides, since Suzy would be following Alec, she wouldn't be too far away from Liam and wouldn't get lost in West City."Our relationship is not something that should be a subject of speculation,” Liam said matter-of-factly.To him, it was just a matter of not going public. After all, they were a married couple, so there was nothing to fear in terms of rumors.However, Suzy interpreted his words differently.Liam was deliberately getting close to her, and he insisted on doing so in public... Could it be that he was having another dispute with Sophia and wante

It was a small world indeed!Before coming here, Suzy had considered the possibility of encountering her family, but she didn't expect to see him right after her arrival. No wonder that woman had been causing trouble lately and mentioning divorce. It turned out they had returned from abroad. This wasn't good news."Do you think this guy, George Taylor, wants to leave SNS because there's something wrong with the company?" Alec's voice brought her thoughts back.Suzy nodded and purposely sat with her back to her father. "Otherwise, even without Park Group's support for going public, SNS would still be making good profits. Unless he has a better opportunity elsewhere, leaving money on the table without earning it is a cautious decision."Investing in a company at its early stage implied a special attachment. It could be a strong friendship or family ties. In any case, as an original shareholder, he must have thought carefully before taking action.Moreover, changes in share ownership,

Suzy dismissed it as mere barking. That woman had always aspired to become the legitimate wife, so she relentlessly pressured Victor to divorce. Victor and Melissa had countless arguments, but Melissa refused to sign the divorce agreement, insisting that the other woman should forever hold the position of a mistress.Suzy understood her mother's reasons for this, as it was crucial for Melissa to continue living. Even Suzy had to take a back seat to that.Back at SNS, when Alec noticed her troubled expression, he chose not to inquire further, treating it as though nothing had happened. After their meal, they were summoned back to the SNS office.Liam and his team had likely just finished their meal and were now seated on the sofa in the banquet hall. His suit jacket rested over his arm, and his long legs were crossed.Upon spotting Suzy, he raised his hand and gestured for her to approach.Without hesitation, she walked briskly to Liam's side and greeted him with a courteous smile. "M

She suddenly fell silent, and Liam met her gaze."What's the matter? Are you doubting your abilities?" "...Thank you for your trust, Mr. Park. I will do my best."Since she couldn't figure it out, she decided not to dwell on it any longer. She couldn't read him, so she might as well not try. The opportunity was right in front of her, and whatever his motives were, it was ultimately a good thing for her.If this project progressed smoothly, she could not only pay off Liam within a year but also have no worries about her mother's medical expenses in the future."Stop at the intersection of Billard Road," Liam suddenly spoke, and the driver nodded, finding a parking spot.Suzy realized they had arrived near her alma mater."Would you like to take a walk?" Liam raised an eyebrow.She nodded. "Sure."In truth, Suzy didn't have many memories of her junior high days, but Liam was a significant part of them. Walking on the road in front of the school again, she felt a sense of nostalgia. Sh

Young man?Seeing the surprise on Suzy's face, the owner raised an eyebrow. "Oh, you didn't know! I thought he made the request just for you."After all, back in those days, it was usually only Suzy who would come to dine after evening classes."It probably wasn't because of me." Suzy couldn't imagine anyone treating her that way during her junior high days.After having a conversation with the owner about the school's changes for a while, Suzy didn't want to delay them from heading home to get some rest, so she decided to take the set meals as takeout.Leaving the shop, she saw Liam waiting for her on the opposite side of the road.He hadn't followed her into the shop; he was just standing there, smoking a cigarette."You've never been here before, have you?"As a wealthy young man, he should have looked down on this kind of food that common folks ate."I have." Liam extinguished the cigarette, casually taking the takeaway bag from her hands, then continued walking beside her.Suzy g

The next morning, when Suzy woke up, Liam had already left.On the table in the living room of the suite, there was breakfast he had arranged to be delivered in advance, and next to it was a note he had personally written.“I have a charity event today, and I won't contact you until it's over. – Liam”Just as she suspected! Liam had come to West City for other matters.After getting ready and having breakfast, Suzy met up with Alec.Since she had already done a thorough investigation of George's background the previous day, today they only had to focus on understanding how SNS operated as a company.Despite the fact that their manager had sent all the reports overnight, for the sake of caution, they decided to conduct an on-site investigation.By the end of the busy day, Suzy's admiration for Liam had risen to another level!The reason Liam emphasized to Frank that she was the person in charge of this project was evident. Today, upon her arrival at SNS, everyone, from top management t

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
A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 425: I Suspect Suzy Is Your Mother
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
