Chapter 102

Author: Cloud Drop
In other words, the news had to be about the Sharp family.

As soon as the word got out, the public dug up most of the incidents related to the Sharp family. A few children of wealthy families who had too much time on their hands even spoke up, mostly talking about how fake Jeffrey could be.

Liesel counted several minutes in her head, and sure enough, Jeffrey called. She silently declined the call, put on her jacket, and left the room.

Coincidentally, as soon as she left the room, Jeffrey called her again. The first thing he did was scream at her.

"Were you behind what happened today? After working at Ford Corporation for so long, you must have a wide network. I'm certain that you're purposely trying to tear the Sharp family down! You little bastard, you're just like your worthless mother. You want to suck the Sharp family dry!"

Liesel knew very well that the Sharp family only managed to reach where they were today because they'd drained her mother, Heather. She merely grunted coo

Why doesn't she just revive the Mallone family? Why keep using an ungrateful usurper's last name? She's supposed to be intelligent, but her reasoning skills are lacking when it comes to interpersonal issues.

    Liesel hated having Sharp family blood. Jeffrey and Natalie were shameless, despicable people, but ultimately, it was still the Sharp family blood that flowed through her veins.If she could survive despite having all her blood drained, she was willing to pay any price to replace all the blood in her body. That was better than gagging every time she thought about the dirty, lowly blood in her system.She didn't think there was anything wrong with her. It was the Sharp family that was problematic, so what did it have to do with her? Still, she felt that the Sharps were truly disgusting. If she wanted to sever their ties, then she'd really have to be ruthless about it. However, she wasn't an idiot. She wouldn't actually hurt herself just to cut ties with them. To her, the Sharp family was not worth her hurting herself just to break off this already weak relationship.It was the first time Jeffrey had ever heard Liesel scream at him hysterically. It left him stunned for a moment, b

    Liesel lowered her voice. "If I continue to attack Sharp Group, do you think the company's stocks will continue to plummet? How many people do you think will sell their shares? The other families would also take this chance to attack Sharp Group or even acquire the company by force. "If that happened, would the company still belong to you? Perhaps, to be even more cruel, they could bankrupt Sharp Group outright."Naturally, Jeffrey believed her. She was indeed capable of destroying the entirety of Sharp Group. If this matter continued to fester, Sharp Group would really be destroyed in his hands.Still, 80 million dollars was not a small sum. Sharp Group wasn't that large of an enterprise, so how could he have that much money on hand?With a red face, he said with embarrassment, "I really don't have cash on hand. Why don't you give me some more time? I will definitely give you the money in two years."Liesel laughed coolly. "In two years? Would Sharp Group even be around in two y

    Having confirmed that the person who called her was Liesel, Quinn said, "You're right, it's difficult to discuss this over the phone. Do you have time tomorrow? Why don't we meet up to talk?""Since you proposed a meetup, I naturally won't refuse, Ms. Lambert." Liesel checked her schedule. "Shall we meet tomorrow at 3:00 pm at the Ford Corporation?"The reason Liesel suggested this location was to hint at her connections with the Ford Corporation. This was so that Quinn would think carefully when naming her price."I'm looking forward to meeting you, Ms. Sharp," Quinn replied.Someone who managed a huge company couldn't be an idiot, so of course Quinn knew the underlying meaning behind those words. Because of this, she also regarded Liesel with more importance. Liesel was one of the trump cards of the Ford Corporation; it would be foolish to look down on Liesel now.Since the beginning, Liesel had split the shares she'd received into two parts. Over the past few years, she'd kept

    Liesel stood up and approached him. Leaning down, she stared at him intently. Her eyes glinted like obsidian. "So long as you don't lend a hand to Sharp Group, then… what I did will have been useful."Gazing at him, she asked, "Jacob, will you help Jeffrey?"Would he help Jeffrey for Natalie's sake?Jacob paused for a moment. At last, he averted his gaze and said indifferently, "I won't get involved. This is between you and your father."This time, Natalie didn't suffer that much damage. The target of the attacks and mockery was Jeffrey. Perhaps Liesel was just getting revenge for what happened on Heather's death anniversary, so he didn't have a reason to stop her."I won't," he answered mildly.Liesel finally sighed in relief and broke into a grin.She was really pretty. Whether she was smiling gently or maintaining a poker face, she always gave off a strong aura. She also had very defined features. Even though she wasn't wearing makeup now, her smile made her eyes crinkle and

    Quinn gave Liesel a long stare that was deep and meaningful. Taking a trip down memory lane, she said, "Actually, when you were younger, I met you before." She cradled her arms and continued, "You were curled up in Jeffrey's arms like an adorable snowball. I'd always thought that Jeffrey treated you very well. Why do you hate him so much?"Liesel replied with a hint of sarcasm, "I thought you knew Jeffrey's true nature from the beginning, Ms. Lambert. He can be nice to me, but in the next second, he can also throw me, his biological daughter, into a fire pit. Jeffrey is just a selfish, self-serving bastard."Quinn was both taken aback and surprised. "You're really nothing like how you were before."Liesel tapped the table gently. She hadn't even touched the coffee on the table. She merely smiled and said, "If I was the same as before, I would have been trampled into the ground already."Quinn said nothing. Her background was a little unique. 20 years ago, she had been the young lad

    Quinn was astounded.Liesel bowed her head while stirring her coffee. The cold air in the room made Quinn's legs feel a little chilly.Noticing this, Liesel got up to adjust the thermostat. She leaned against the conference table and said, "Blood relation is not everything. As long as the love is genuine, you can be family even if you don't share any blood. "However, without love, even if you're connected by blood, you'll end up completely engulfed with nothing left behind."Liesel adjusted the air swing. Even when she came into contact with the cold air, she didn't find it chilly. Instead, she found it comfortable. "You've been in this industry for a very long time, Ms. Lambert. Don't tell me that you don't know much about these things. How many men have gotten rich and abandoned their wives and children, allowing their mistress to humiliate their family? "How many people have transferred their assets to their illegitimate children while abusing their biological children at t

    Liesel set the document down in front of Drew and flipped it open to the problematic page. She pointed to one of the terms and said, "All the terms in this contract were crafted reasonably, except this unremarkable footnote, which is the only trap."Drew couldn't help but laugh. "You spotted that. However, the new executive secretary still thinks this is a good opportunity that we should grasp."Liesel frowned. "What kind of funny prank is she trying to pull? Was this contract proposed by Natalie? Is she crazy?"Drew neither acknowledged nor denied it. "That woman is really resilient. After her car accident, she still refuses to stay at home to recover. She came to the office in a wheelchair and said that she'd received a perfect contract," he said. His words were dripping with sarcasm."What did Jacob say?""Mr. Ford still hasn't seen the contract. However, Natalie has already convinced some of the stubborn board members who like easy wins. They believe that this is a charity pro

    Drew's ridicule left Natalie as white as a sheet. Just as she was about to rebuke, she suddenly heard a voice whose tone was teasing yet clearly also mocking. "Your personal emotions and unobjective delusions have already taken over your rationality. You're already unable to think rationally. If this investment fails, how will you explain it to the others?"The new visitor was none other than Elijah. He leaned against the door, giving her a pressing stare."The investment won't fail. I'll stake my career on it," Natalie said. She emphasized each word through gritted teeth.Words like that couldn't be spoken recklessly!Even Drew cocked an eyebrow when he heard that. He gave her a long look. Right now, he had a feeling that Elijah had purposely dug that hole for Natalie to jump into.Yet, Natalie was completely unaware that Elijah had just forced her into a hole. She turned toward Jacob. With a determined gaze, she said, "Mr. Ford, Mr. Rayden gave me this contract, and I have a

    Felix nodded at Liesel, who was standing on stage. Just as he was about to speak, his phone began buzzing loudly.Every phone call was crucial during such a critical moment. Felix waved his hand, gesturing for everyone to wait for a moment. He checked his phone and saw that he had received more than ten of the same videos over and over again. On the video thumbnail was a silhouette of Liesel embracing Thomas.Felix's fingers twitched as he looked up at Liesel, who was still waiting for his response. At the same time, all the other executives' phones vibrated. Everyone had received the same videos. The crowd stared in shock at the sight of Liesel and Thomas in those videos. She had cheated on Elijah by hooking up with Thomas. Didn't that imply it was actually possible for her to betray Hardin Group? That was the crucial moment Richard had been waiting for. He couldn't help but give some sarcastic remarks. "How exciting for you, Ms. Sharp. You've used my son to take everything aw

    Howard paused, but he wasn't surprised that Richard was trying to cast the blame on Liesel at that moment. Felix also instantly looked up with a fiery gaze. He really didn't understand why they weren't coming up with a solution at that moment. Instead, Richard wanted to continue the internal conflict and fight for some power that outsiders would consider insignificant.Dakota hurriedly placed a hand on Felix's shoulder and hinted for him to calm down. Dakota continued, "Mr. Donner, the same technology with the exact specifications happened to be released before we could even launch it."Things can't be that coincidental. We must get to the bottom of this, but we shouldn't panic and lose our composure either."The turbulent emotions within Felix faded away instantly as he ordered, "As long as the matter isn't clear yet, no one is allowed to make any statements that would negatively impact the company or their colleagues!" The first order of business was to keep everyone's mouths

    "No. Ms. Sharp wants to achieve a global market share of 35%.""Wow! That target is insane! If Ms. Sharp succeeds, won't our company be making a fortune? Those two are our most profitable projects!""We can't be sure how much our company will earn since those amounts are way beyond our imagination. We might as well think about how much bonuses we'll receive this year.""I think I can use my bonuses this time to pay a down payment for a house in Ashthorne. I might even be able to get a nice car."Everyone's excited voices drifted across the spacious office. Their eyes lit up with excitement and hope. Austin tossed the files aside before reaching for his phone to send a text. "It's time." After sending the message, he deleted it instantly, and the chat vanished as well.A moment later, an overseas car manufacturer suddenly announced some earth-shattering news, causing a stir across the automotive industry.At the same time, Augustine's family also revealed their cancer treatment

  • Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back   Chapter 607

    These new projects were worth hundreds of millions in the market, and Liesel was the reason everyone could enjoy the profits. Before the announcement was even over, rounds of applause echoed across the meeting room several times.The optimized cancer treatment medication was enough to surpass the related treatments that foreign countries had always dominated. The medication had outperformed those of the Bergs' family company, which led to Hardin Group capturing their market share.Everyone in the meeting room beamed at Liesel on stage. Even Richard was amazed by how profitable these projects were.Howard held a remote as he leisurely controlled a colorful drone. Despite being present at such a crucial meeting, he remained carefree and indifferent. However, no one dared to criticize him. He was the only one who could develop the blueprint Liesel had drafted. Hardin Group could only go as far as Howard's strong capabilities.The executives' faces had gone red from excitement, and s

    Of course, Thomas heard of Elijah before and became indignant instantly. "I can definitely achieve whatever Elijah has! He always spends his time flirting with women. How could I not be better than him?" Thomas was disdainful. To him, Elijah was a spoiled heir just like himself. "You've not kept up with Elijah for so long." Cameron seemed to have aged a lot in a moment. "He's been pretending all this while. Have a look for yourself."Cameron had ordered someone to organize all information related to Elijah last night so Thomas could have a look once he was awake. Thomas looked through every page. The more he read, the more despondent he grew.Elijah pretended to be useless, but Thomas was truly incompetent. If Thomas had to make a point, the Kellers were far wealthier than the Hardins. In terms of looks, Elijah was known for being attractive. Thomas was even once worried that Liesel might find him too muscular.Thomas' eyes lit up as he read the last part of the files. It deta

    "I want rewards as I did last time." Howard really wanted to meet Heather, so he began asking for more rewards this time. "I'll give you the latest codes." Liesel forwarded the codes to Howard's computer with a glint in her eyes. "I've rewarded you, Mr. Durham. Time for you to work. You might have to work overtime tonight since there's plenty to do." Liesel rested her chin on her hand with a lazy smile.Howard already started typing to work on the series of codes. After some time, he fastened his white coat with stiff fingers. "I only need to work overtime for one night? I don't mind working overtime for another ten more nights." Howard simply wanted more codes. He looked at Liesel with a darkened gaze before adding, "As long as you reward me."Liesel couldn't help but laugh. "One night will do. If it's not enough, I'll reward you accordingly."Her words caused Howard's eyes to light up. She then stood up and walked around to the back of the chair before placing her hands on h

    "Let me explain things properly. The other person might forgive your deceit or even give you another chance."Even if the other person refused, Cameron would still pay for her to give Thomas another chance. Cameron had everything planned out.Thomas gazed at Cameron for a long time before finally saying, "It's Liesel Sharp.""Liesel Sharp. Ms. Sharp, right? Let me get ready before visiting her... Hold up! Who did you say you're in love with? Did you just say that you like Liesel?"I asked you to work at Hardin Group so she can mentor you. I never thought you'd actually fall for her! Have you lost your mind?"If Thomas had fallen for any other woman, Cameron might have been confident enough to use his own money or other methods to convince her to be with Thomas. But things were tricky if the woman Thomas had fallen for was Liesel.Cameron was wealthy, and so was Liesel. The Kellers were indeed the wealthiest family in Bloomfield and also somewhat influential. However, their influe

    "Elijah.""Yes, I'm here," Elijah answered."Elijah," Liesel yelled again. "Yes, I'm listening," Elijah replied again. He stroked her soft, long hair with a warm gaze. "I assume you've thought things through," Liesel said. She assumed that he had considered everything and gave up on the idea of leaving her so someone else would take care of her. Instead, he would always be with her.Elijah understood what Liesel meant. He gazed at her gently before leaning forward to kiss her on the forehead. "Yes, I've thought things through."Elijah would not hold Liesel back. He would propose to her if she could heal him and give her everything. If she fell for someone else during that time, he also would not forbid her from leaving him.Elijah loved Liesel, but she would always have her freedom. He knew very well that he loved her, but he always wanted her to be free forever.He wanted her to stay by his side because she loved him, not because she pitied him. It was the only way he could

    Liesel's gaze flickered as she waited for Elijah's response. Struggle was written all over his gaze as he looked past her. He was lost in a daze. Her words seemed to pull him into the future.Elijah watched Liesel slowly drifting away from him. He could only sit in his wheelchair as if he were a spectator and watch her run toward another man's arms from a distance.He saw how affectionate she was with the other man, doing things only lovers would do. The way she cast a charming smile at the other man…No. Absolutely not.Elijah was still unable to let Liesel go so easily. She was his lover, so he refused to let her leave. He drew her into his embrace with one arm and held her tightly. "Lili, I was wrong." The hoarseness in his voice was quite evident. "I can't accept the idea of you leaving me. I don't even want to imagine it. Please don't be with Thomas." To Liesel, the current Elijah seemed extremely fragile. A slight push could cause him to break down. She could feel his swe
