A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 97: Rejecting Jeffrey
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

Did Liam send it?Suzy immediately went to the door to ask the two bodyguards, but they claimed not to know.She took out her phone, thinking of calling Liam to inquire, but her fingertip hovered over the number and, in the end, didn't press it.Even if it was a gift from him, what could it change?At most, it was just a gesture of care from a boss to a subordinate....Ashington, in a hotel suite.This was the fifth time Liam had checked his phone, and there were still no messages.Could it be that the instructions weren't delivered to the ward? Or perhaps, she simply didn't want to contact him at all.Suzy was always so cautious and polite to everyone, but when it came to receiving something from him, she didn’t even acknowledge it!Finally—The phone rang.Liam answered it directly, but it was the voice of Clive on the other end."You picked up fast. Who are you expecting a call from?""Just happened to be using my phone."Clive sounded exasperated. "Don't think I don't know, you'r

"How on earth do you have this?!" Wendy, who was paying close attention, was almost shocked when she saw it!In Wendy's eyes, her friend hadn't even been in a relationship, let alone had any male companions around. She couldn't have dreamt of the day when she'd come across something like this in her friend's possession. Suzy felt equally embarrassed. She hadn't intended to play a role as an innocent, pure-hearted individual, but she did find this matter quite private and felt awkward about someone discovering it."It's just... left over."Wendy blinked her eyes, struggling to process this statement."You don't even have a boyfriend, so who did you use it with?""It’s just someone whom I share mutual benefits with."Knowing Wendy couldn't be easily fooled, Suzy could only evade the topic. Furthermore, this description she provided seemed to accurately fit Liam.Wendy, upon hearing this, immediately slapped her on the shoulder and her gossip-loving spirit ignited. "Wow, you! You wen

As if afraid that Suzy might fall in love, Wendy repeated several times, emphasizing that she should just sleep with him and not get emotionally involved.Eventually, the conversation shifted to Jeffrey."My cousin really likes you. If you're not considering it now, when you eventually want a boyfriend, you should definitely think about him."Suzy sighed. "I'm in this situation now. Don't you think I'm not good enough for your cousin?""Come on, don't kid yourself. He would be one lucky guy if he were to marry you. “Besides, there’s nothing wrong with what you did. It's just something adults do, it's only natural! My cousin is definitely not the type to care about such things."Suzy couldn't help but laugh at her friend's straightforwardness. Sometimes, she envied Wendy for being seemingly carefree, yet so clear-minded and comfortable with herself."Wendy, I know you're looking out for me, and your cousin is indeed a good person, but I'm just not in the right place for romance right

No one could afford to relax because they were afraid of being overthrown by others."Just relax and go. Since you have done nothing wrong, there's nothing to worry about. Besides, Mr. Park doesn't mind." Suzy was speechless.That was the whole point – she was nervous because she had done him wrong!Suzy already felt suffocated, and the thought of being alone with Liam in a car, in such close quarters, was sure to be incredibly awkward, even sending shivers down her spine!"Mr. Park has cars in New Valley. I'll give you the keys when we arrive.""Well... actually, I'm not that great at driving. I hope I won’t cause any damage to Mr. Park's car."Alec smirked mysteriously and raised an eyebrow. "Don't worry! Mr. Park has over a dozen cars parked in his garage in New Valley alone. Even if you happen to damage one, no one will find out! And if it weren't for registration problems, you could even sell a couple."Suzy bit her lip, unsure whether to marvel at Liam's wealth or lament the re

She didn’t request to get her seat changed in the end because she was afraid of troubling the teacher. Since Suzy was young, she had always been afraid of inconveniencing others. Since her teachers had taken good care of her in school, Suzy felt she shouldn’t be demanding."Does this include you?" Alec asked, shifting his gaze to her face.Suzy shook her head repeatedly. "Not me. In junior high, besides attending classes, I had to work part-time in the morning and do night shifts at an internet café after evening study sessions. My schedule was even tighter than it is now!"Thinking back, maybe that's why her homeroom teacher felt comfortable assigning her to sit next to Liam! Otherwise, any other girl would probably have been too distracted to focus on studying."What? How old were you back in junior high?" "I gotta earn a living, no matter how old I am." Suzy shrugged. When it came to the hardships of the past, she was just grateful that she had persevered through them, rather t

Soon, Liam also spotted Suzy and began striding towards her with long strides.As he drew closer, Suzy felt an urge to turn and run away.No one accompanied him to back to the country, leaving him all alone.When Liam reached Suzy, he stood still, his presence overwhelming her almost to the point of suffocation.Suzy noticed him tightly pressing his thin lips together, his thick eyebrows slightly furrowed. The white bandage on his handsome face still stood out, while he appeared somewhat displeased as if pondering how to scold her.Suzy instinctively took his luggage, her face stiff, unsure of what to say first.In the end, it was Liam who sighed lightly and spoke up."Why won't you take the initiative to call me when I didn’t contact you?"Suzy hadn't expected him to say this. She was stunned, unable to utter a word."Forget it, give me the car keys." Liam reached out his hand towards her, his tall figure completely blocking the light that should have fallen on her."Huh?"“Do you pl
Last Updated : 2024-04-09A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 104: Taking Care of Liam
"What?" Suzy still looked perplexed, completely out of the loop.To be honest, she even wondered if Liam had hit his head during the accident because he was saying things she couldn't understand."I’ll give you some more time. Let's head back to the hotel," Liam replied, his words laden with a sense of resignation.Suzy blinked, noticing his hesitation. Finally, mustering her courage, she asked directly, "Mr. Park, are you... planning to terminate the contract? You can tell me frankly; I won't object."She was absolutely willing to step aside for him and Sophia!Liam rubbed his brow, feeling the weight of uncertainty.Clive was right; he didn't know how he got himself into this mess.Even he couldn't fathom why he insisted on tasting this bitterness.…The car arrived at the hotel.Alec and several assistants were already there to greet them.Seeing Liam stepping out from the driver's seat, they were quite surprised."Suzy, weren't you supposed to... pick up Mr. Park?" How did Liam e

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
