A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 90: What’s Your Relationship With Him
Were those words targeted at her?Seeing a flood of responses below, Suzy quickly sent a message acknowledging receipt.The meeting continued until one in the morning, but with the CEO as the host, no one dared to yawn.Finally, the CEO's secretary concluded the meeting and announced, "That's it for today's meeting."Suzy breathed a sigh of relief. She was about to turn off her camera and stretch when Liam added at the end, "The person in charge of the new car technology project mentioned in the meeting earlier will meet me separately.""Are you referring to the project led by Jeffrey Palmer?" Alec asked directly."Yes.""Alright! Miss Chase from the Investment Department, you will connect with Mr. Park separately."Suzy really hadn't expected this surprise. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she nodded quickly. "Okay."Exiting the meeting room, she stared at Liam’s personal account for several seconds but couldn't muster the courage to request the connection.She was afraid and emb

Without waiting for Suzy to say anything, Liam had already hung up on the other end.It appeared as if their connection had instantly returned to the dynamics of a CEO and an employee.Right, he had reconciled with Sophia. What position could her substitute still have?She closed her computer. After changing into her pajamas and taking a shower, Suzy lay in bed but unexpectedly couldn't fall asleep.She tossed and turned, unable to sleep.It was already early morning, and if she didn't sleep soon, she would have to get up for work!Suzy closed her eyes tightly, but no matter what, she couldn't feel sleepy. She decided to get up and restart her computer to continue working.Just as she logged into the company's server, she noticed that Liam was still online.Hadn't he gone to sleep?She stared at the screen for a while before suddenly remembering that Liam was currently abroad, in a different time zone. It was afternoon there.She tugged at her lips, chuckling with a hint of self-deprec

Suzy couldn’t believe her mother actually called Jeffrey! Suzy's eyebrows furrowed deeply, and she felt a powerful surge of anger welling up inside her, like an unstoppable force.The feeling of being controlled and coerced in every aspect was really infuriating her."Why didn't you tell me and just go contact him yourself? I told you he's busy, but he agreed to your call just to show you some respect!" "Are you interrogating me?" Melissa's tone became just as fiery. "Everything I do, I do it for whom? You got married without even telling me, and now you're blaming me! I just want him to do more for you, to spend more time with you. Why are you so upset about this?”Suzy slammed her phone down loudly.That same old phrase again."For your own good!"But what exactly did "for your own good" mean? Was it good just because she thought it was?Suzy tried to calm herself down, not wanting these matters to affect her. After all, no matter what, the upcoming surgery was the most important

Honestly, Suzy couldn't help but admire Sophia. She was willing to ask her about such a private matter without any hint of embarrassment.Seriously...They were discussing Liam, and Sophia was Liam’s crush for years. Now that Sophia's feelings for him were mutual, Suzy couldn't help but wonder why she was involved in this situation, being asked for advice on such personal matters.Moreover, considering the time difference, it was likely late at night in Ashington. During this passionate time of day, it was hard not to wonder what they had been up to that required Liam to change his personal attire."I'm sorry, I don't know," Suzy replied. Frustrated, she turned her phone off and set it aside to avoid interrupting her work.…Meanwhile, in a luxury hotel suite in Ashington.Liam had just finished dealing with company matters and was preparing to change the dressing on his wound before resting when suddenly, there was a knocking at the door.He furrowed his brow and walked over, openi

Liam granted Suzy the official status and legal confirmation of marriage! This was something the Park family had always desired for him to give Sophia!"For now, don't let her know." Liam took his mother's condition into account, but he also realized that if he didn't secure Suzy's commitment now and make the most of the current situation, he might lose the chance later on."Yeah, don't worry. I won't say anything." Sophia took a few steps back. "Since you don't need my help, I won't disturb your rest. Get some sleep."After saying this, Liam only nodded faintly.He didn't even say goodnight and simply closed the door.He walked back to the bed, and suddenly, he recalled the conversation he had overheard through Suzy's phone during the meeting."Suzy, can I come in?""Don't mention it. I thought even during overtime work, you need to eat something! If it weren't for Wendy insisting on buying a few pieces of clothing, we could have come back earlier. “Tomorrow, I'll ask her to prepar

On the evening before Melissa's surgery, Suzy didn't spend the night at Wendy's house; instead, she stayed with her mother at the hospital. Suzy understood that even though Melissa appeared brave and fearless, it was only natural for her to feel anxious inside, considering the seriousness of the upcoming surgery."The doctor said the success rate of your surgery this time is very high, and in another ten days or so, you'll be able to leave the hospital."Suzy could only say some positive things to ease her mother's worries."I know, the lead surgeon came and talked to me yesterday." Melissa had been instructed to fast before the surgery, so she had to lie in bed and minimize her movements, with even limited water intake. "You don't need to worry about me; I'm more worried about you."She was gently wiping her mother's arm and hesitated for a moment. "There’s nothing you should be worrying about me.""Both of you are legally married but haven't held a wedding yet! Is that Jeff guy i

That feeling was just terrible!Worse than working overtime for a whole week.Melissa suddenly sighed too. "Suzy, I realize I shouldn't constantly plant these negative thoughts about marriage in your mind. Eventually, you'll have to settle down and build a stable home. But I just can't help it! I can't shake the feeling that all men have ulterior motives.”Thinking back, Suzy's father had also been kind and perfect, drawing Melissa in so deeply that she couldn't break free from his hold."Mom, don't dwell on those thoughts. You're going to have your surgery tomorrow, so get some rest." She tucked her mother in and smiled. "Finally, you’re getting your surgery, and for me, nothing else matters."Suzy had endured so much for this day!After putting her mother to sleep, she found herself strangely unable to sleep.She got up and logged into the internal server of Park Group on her computer, intending to organize some documents, but her eyes always wandered to Liam's account.He was still

Suzy didn’t care if she had overthought about his intention to help her or if it was just her self-imposed assumptions, she chose to be upfront and clear about everything.Her bluntness had left Jeffrey somewhat stunned."I don't care about these things."His response was resolute.In fact, since the very first moment he laid eyes on Suzy, Jeffrey had a strong impression of her. Coupled with Wendy’s continuous praises, he became increasingly interested in this girl. However, because he previously had a stable girlfriend, he didn't entertain any other thoughts. After his breakup and Wendy’s suggestion of setting him up with Suzy, he couldn’t deny he was genuinely interested in her.It wasn't just because Suzy was beautiful; it was more about her determination and strength that made a man want to protect her."But I do care," she stated calmly. "I want a marriage based on equality, but in this situation, I would only become a burden to a family.""How could that be? Even if Mrs. Chase

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
