All Chapters of A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

Suzy tightly pressed her lips together, feeling a sense of powerlessness.She knew her mother would always say something harsh as soon as she opened her mouth! Over the years, it had always been like this, either threatening to cut ties or refusing treatment at the drop of a hat!"Do I not even have a choice?" Suzy's voice trembled, struggling with agitation. "Just because you made a wrong choice when you were young, you conclude that all men are like Dad?"Although she hadn't witnessed how her father had won her mother's heart when he was young, nor did she know the course of their relationship, Suzy didn't believe Liam would be such an irresponsible man!He couldn't possibly abandon his wife and daughter, ignoring them completely!She trusted Liam!"Are you questioning me?" Melissa was taken aback by Suzy's sudden change of behavior overnight. "Do you think I would harm you?""I don't think you would harm me. I just hope you won't let one bad experience affect you for years to come,

As they were about to continue their conversation, they suddenly looked up and saw Sophia standing ahead.The direct gaze indicated that she had heard their conversation just now."Did the Park Group pay you to gossip?" "Sorry, Miss Burns..." The two female employees immediately stood up, bowing apologetically in panic.Sophia glanced at them. "You don't need to apologize to me. I'll report this matter truthfully to your department head, and you can explain it to him.”With that remark, she turned and headed straight to the CEO's office.Sophia had already checked with Alec and confirmed that Liam was in his office. So, she knocked on the door before entering.Hearing his voice from inside, she pushed the door open.Liam glanced up for a second before returning to the documents in his hand.His attitude towards her had changed drastically from when she first returned to the country! Although their relationship wasn't particularly warm back then, at least he treated her as a trusted c

Liam frowned, unhappy with his father's abrupt decision regarding a person's future."I can only promise you that if Suzy ever becomes part of the core operations at Park Group, it will be solely based on her abilities.""Why are you so sure of Suzy's capabilities, yet you refuse to consider what Sophia has done for the company? Since your mother has chosen her as a daughter-in-law, she must be outstanding in many aspects.""Sophia has been compensated for her contributions to the company," Liam retorted, feeling no guilt towards Sophia. Although she indeed had contributed significantly to Park Group, she was also the one who received the most annual bonuses in the legal department!"I have already backed down, not because I am afraid of you, but because I fear for my wife, your mother's life!" William scoffed coldly, "Figure out the rest on your own."After saying this, he stood up and left the office.Liam returned to his desk and glanced at his phone, which displayed a message from

Liam had grown accustomed to waiting for Suzy.He had waited all these years, so waiting a short while like this meant nothing to him.As the sunset's fading light dimmed, Suzy looked up at him.Years had gone by, but his face showed no signs of aging; he still looked youthful."You should smile more often, don’t always keep a straight face.""Mm, okay." Liam nodded, and only after Suzy had gotten into the car did he move to the driver's seat.Today, he hadn't brought along his assistant. The drive home made Suzy feel as if they were just an ordinary couple, returning home from work together, cooking dinner together, and then falling asleep in each other’s arms.Unfortunately...Liam was no ordinary man.Suzy wanted to ask about his mother, but after much thought, she decided against it.She didn't want to break the peaceful intimacy of their moment together.Upon arriving at Easter Bay, Liam changed clothes and headed to the kitchen, with Suzy following him."Let me cook today, you ta

As if sensing her presence, Liam instinctively looked in a certain direction and immediately caught Suzy's gaze.“I'll wait for you.”After sending the message, he promptly opened his work application to review documents.Ever since Suzy came into his life, Liam no longer wanted to return to Easter Bay alone! He felt that it only felt like a home when it had its lady of the house.As he started his work, he was ready to pull an all-nighter, intending to take only a short nap in the morning before heading to the office. His main concern was any problems that might arise for Suzy that he couldn't handle immediately.Time ticked by, and close to midnight, Liam was surprised to see Suzy hurrying out of the hospital entrance!She saw Liam’s car and quickly walked up to knock on the window."Surprised? Bet you didn’t expect me to come out!"Liam smiled and stepped out of the car, "Yes, is your mother alright?”"There’s not much problem; she just had a heart attack after getting scared, but s
