He wanted her to visit the Park family?The first thing that came to Suzy's mind was the message Sophia had sent to Liam."I don’t think it’s a good idea for me to accompany you there.”Her current status made her feel awkward!"There's nothing wrong with it. Just accompany me. If you don't want to get out of the car, you can wait for me inside."When she realized that he simply wanted her to be there with him and had no plans for her to meet anyone, Suzy felt relieved."Alright then. Just let me know a day in advance so I can rearrange my work."Liam nodded, watching her relax from her initial tense state. He wondered if it was the right decision to bring her to meet his parents so abruptly. His primary intention was for his mother to meet Suzy, and then gradually work on getting his mother to accept her....In the morning, Alec efficiently gathered substantial information about SNS, leaving Suzy silently impressed by the competence of those who worked alongside Liam.As noon approa

"What?"His sudden topic caught her off guard. Wasn't he here to discuss the project?Seeing the surprised look on Suzy's face, Jeffrey couldn't help but curl his lips."Did I startle you?""Well, yes, a bit." Suzy forced a stiff smile, completely unprepared for this situation.Jeffrey was quick to break the awkwardness. "I'm sorry, I was too abrupt! I did come today for the project, but I couldn't help myself when I saw the sunlight shining on you so beautifully. I made a little joke."After saying this, he pushed the files and documents that were placed nearby in front of Suzy. "Take a look, these are the design drawings and several national patent certificates."She took a look, and the information inside was comprehensive and clearly well-organized.Among them were some patents obtained jointly by several people and some signed solely by Jeffrey."Regarding the project collaboration, I'll need to take these back and discuss them with the higher-ups. But personally, I think if we c

"It would be too late by then. The contract requires an appendix to be marked, and I must take a look at it before the Legal Department can finalize the contract.”Suzy was speechless.Sophia seemed to need it urgently, and there was a commanding tone in her voice. "Don't waste any more time. The lawyers from FortuneWave are waiting here. Just send it to this email."After saying that, she hung up the phone. Soon, an email address was sent to Suzy's phone.Thinking that Sophia, as the General Counsel of Park Group, wouldn't do anything detrimental to the company, Suzy opened the documents for the Far East project and sent what she needed.Upon arriving at the Department of Commerce, Suzy got out of the car and noticed that Liam was standing next to Alec. Had he finished his work?"Hurry up, we're waiting for your confirmation and signature." Alec waved her hand, urging Suzy.Suzy quickly walked over, and as she passed by Liam, she politely greeted him, "Mr. Park."Following Alec, sh

"Uh, well..."Kenneth finally realized that something was amiss. He looked at Suzy and then at Liam."Are you two...?""I work at his company!"Suzy didn't wait for Liam to speak and quickly explained."I see!" Kenneth let out a sigh of relief, and his eyes wandered more freely as he gazed at Suzy.She had always been beautiful.Back in junior, even when she wore tattered clothes and her hair ties were frayed, she couldn't hide her delicate features. Furthermore, she was dressed impeccably now with her long hair flowing like a waterfall. He noticed her eyes, nose, and overall features looked like someone who came straight out of a beauty magazine. Seeing that he seemed to have more to say, Liam discreetly pulled Suzy back a step.“We'll chat another day; we have something to attend to today.""Ah! Alright then. Go on with your business. We can talk more when we meet at the reunion."Kenneth, as a man, had somewhat sensed Liam's cold and polite demeanor, so he didn't insist on adding

Liam had already entered the bathroom, and Suzy was still pondering the behind his words.It seemed like Liam didn't want her to join the middle school group chat channel, and he didn't like Kenneth....During her business trip to West City these past few days, she had learned a lot from Alec. Not only did her investigative skills improve, but she also refined her communication skills.Upon coming back to Northorn City, Suzy had a two-day off, but she dedicated all her time to discussing Jeffrey's project with Alec.After finally clearing up the project and submitting it, she was just about to tidy up and go to the hospital to visit Melissa when a call from Melissa came in."Mom.""You're back in Northorn City, right?"Listening to her mother's voice, Suzy sensed something was off, and her tone was slightly stiff."Yeah, I finished up some company matters, and I'm planning to go to the hospital to see you now.""Then, we'll talk when you get here."With that, Melissa hung up abruptly.

"It’s not true? Fine! Then tell me, where did the money for the surgery come from, and how did your so-called boyfriend agree to lend you so much money?"Suzy moistened her parched lips and lowered her gaze for a while. "He really isn’t my sugar daddy. I... I got married to him."This was something she hadn't wanted to tell her mother, but at this point, she had no other choice.Suzy knew Melissa's personality too well; she was capable of refusing to accept financial help from a man even at the cost of her own life.Bringing up the marriage might offer a glimmer of hope in convincing her mother. Perhaps, it hadn't crossed Melissa's mind that her typically obedient daughter had secretly gotten married. She gazed at her in silence, her mouth moving but unable to form words for quite some time.Suzy was afraid her mother might faint again, so she quickly rushed out to find a doctor. Thankfully, they administered antihypertensive medication in time, but it still kept the doctor busy.The

She quickly ended the call and flagged down a taxi on the road.Now, she regarded Liam in a similar way to how she approached her job – always prepared to comply and respond to his needs.Reflecting on her mother's reprimands about her lack of self-respect, she wished she could have a bit more dignity, if possible....When Suzy arrived at Easter Bay, she saw that Liam hadn't changed out of his suit. He still had that professional and elite demeanor, sitting behind the table in the living room, conducting a video conference.Being a CEO wasn't an easy job, especially for Liam. The success of Park Group was all thanks to his meticulous work ethic.Upon hearing a noise, he glanced towards the entrance and gestured for her to wait.Suzy didn't dare to disturb his work and went into the bedroom to make a call.She called Wendy and told her about her mother's request to meet her boyfriend. Of course, she didn't mention the marriage or Liam."So, you need a guy right now to put on a show in

After taking out the ointment, Liam deliberately washed his hands in the bathroom before coming to apply it for her.Suzy leaned back slightly, even though they had been intimate before, his sudden proximity made her uncomfortable."I can do it myself! It's not like I can’t reach my wound," she said, reaching for the ointment.Liam didn't give in to her and his eyes showed a hint of displeasure. "Lean your face over here.""You really don't need to!"He didn't say anything more, just looked at her. Feeling helpless, Suzy had to obediently move closer like a child.Because they were so close, she could even see the fine hairs on Liam's face. Since his skin was fair, she wouldn't have noticed those fine hairs without being so close to him.Liam carefully applied the ointment evenly on her face, and it felt pleasantly cool.Suzy unconsciously looked at him, his serious and focused expression, as if he was treating something he cherished very much. He had a handsome appearance, not the ki

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

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
