Although Elijah had drunk a lot of alcohol, he wasn't drunk yet. His dark eyes, which were looking glassy a minute ago, were now focused and glinting with an icy light. His sinister smile inspired fear.The researcher who had too much to drink suddenly sobered up and waved his hands nervously. "Let's forget the drink. Mr. Hardin, I should have watched my words."He scurried back to his seat in a pathetic state, not daring to say another word. Then, Elijah set down the vodka and turned to Liesel, who was still wearing a calm expression.However, she almost laughed in exasperation. "You're not drunk, Elijah. Were you pretending?" When she recalled the way he snuggled against her, she couldn't stop herself from stomping hard on his feet."My lady, please have mercy" Elijah hissed, aware that Liesel was annoyed by his pretense earlier. He admitted, "I won't get drunk by this amount of alcohol. Otherwise, all these years of drinking would have been in vain."Sure enough, he was putti

"She thinks too highly of herself. She won't even have a drink when she's nothing more than a man's toy!"These were already some of the milder comments. The others were filled with vulgar words and obscene remarks that made one's stomach churn. Elijah's expression grew colder by the minute, and even the surrounding temperature seemed to drop around him."Fire him, and report him to the police," Liesel demanded coldly."I consider myself someone with a reputable standing in Ashthrone. Even heirs from prominent families would treat me with respect, and every bit of it was achieved through my own abilities. "Yet, despite that, I've become the target of his indecent livestream. Can you imagine what the other female researchers at the institute might have endured at his hands? "Can we even be sure that that bastard hasn't sexually assaulted them?" Liesel's every word resonated deeply with Elijah. "I'll get to the bottom of this and make sure you get justice. You stay here. I'll

Facing the camera, Liesel had an unmistakable cold smirk playing on her lips. Though she was smiling, her biting mockery cut through even through the screen. Everyone watching the livestream at that moment panicked. They frantically tried to exit the app, but it was impossible. It was as though their phones had stopped working, or as if someone else had somehow seized control of their devices, making it impossible to leave. These repulsive men, who only dared emerge at night and hide in the shadows to indulge their vile thoughts, were finally in a frenzy. Some of them smashed their phones, while others tossed their phones into water, thinking they had escaped the ordeal once the screen went black. But reality had different plans. Soon after, every single one of them heard a knock at their door. Even those who had destroyed their phones were all taken away. How could the police miss them when Liesel had already mapped out their coordinates? It was the easiest catch.Liesel d

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Natalie said calmly. Before leaving, Elijah seemed to sense something and glanced in their direction. A shiver ran down Natalie's spine as she squirmed in her seat."Nat, is Elijah looking at us?" Natalie's friends felt goosebumps rising all over. Natalie bit her lips. "What's there to be afraid of? They're the shameless ones behaving indecently. Why should we be scared?"Natalie clenched her phone tightly, where the screen displayed the photos and videos of Elijah and Liesel's intimate interactions. After the humiliation she faced today, she wasn't going to let Liesel off easy. Elijah and Liesel seemed so close. Who knew if the investigation results were even real? Maybe they had even planned this all along. Maybe they set her up to force her out of Ford Corporation. Natalie's face paled at the thought, and she grew angrier by the second. This time she was determined to strike back with precision. Since Elijah had been drinking, he

Natalie watched as the car disappeared into the distance. Her hands slowly clenched into fists at her sides. She sped back home, locking herself in her bedroom as soon as she arrived. She began drafting a post for the internet. The post explained how Liesel and Elijah had gotten together and colluded with each other, with Liesel helping Elijah seize control of the Hardin family. It also claimed Elijah had sabotaged the partnership just to help Liesel get back at her. After posting it online, Natalie finally let out a soothing sigh of relief. "Just wait. Both of you will be ruined by tomorrow!" she murmured. Meanwhile, after Liesel enjoyed the cool night breeze during the ride, Elijah dropped her off outside her apartment. It was only after Liesel entered her building that Elijah placed a hand over his chest. A faint smile formed on his lips. He had to admit that watching a composed Liesel tapping swiftly away at the keyboard in the private lounge, unfazed even when facing t

The research related to holography? Wayne froze, not expecting this to be the reason for Matthew's visit. However, he knew Elijah would surely kill him for revealing this information. "No, no, no… You don't know how Elijah is. He'll kill me!" Wayne trembled uncontrollably, but Matthew ignored his fear. After a while, Matthew frowned slightly. His tone was laced with a chilling edge. "If you don't talk, you'll die anyway. You're afraid of Elijah. Aren't you afraid of me?"Matthew's icy stare bore into him, and Wayne could feel the barely contained menace radiating from him. "Mr. Ford, please don't force me. I really…" Wayne wrapped his arms around his head, not daring to meet Matthew's gaze. One of Matthew's black-clad bodyguards grabbed Wayne by the head, forcing him to look up and meet Matthew's gaze. Even as Wayne continued shaking, Matthew stared at the panicked man before him with an unyielding coldness. Suddenly, for some reason, Matthew smiled gently. "There's no

It turned out that Matthew's research was focused on holography.In fact, back when she was still around, Heather had actually been doing research on holography. It was a mystery as to why Heather possessed such a comprehensive dataset back then. After he got hold of the data, Matthew hadn't been able to decipher the detailed data in it.He had been keeping a close watch on research institutes involved in holographic research and also on Liesel. He figured that since Heather could produce such cutting-edge data years ago, Liesel, her daughter, probably could do so as well. It eventually proved to be true. Upon finding out about Liesel's connection to Elijah, Matthew wasted no time and hurried back to Draskia. He knew that Elijah had been deeply involved in holography research. Given that Liesel was associated with Elijah, Matthew naturally assumed that Liesel must have had some involvement in the field as well.Having received a definitive answer from Wayne, Matthew felt a surge

It was the kind of beauty that transcended the quality of the photo. Another internet user commented, "If it were me, I'd lose it too. I'd give up everything for her—company, sanity, and even my life! I'd surrender it all to her without hesitation!"And so, the post, which was filled with the perfect mix of beauty, corporate intrigue, inheritance struggles, and revenge, triggered a wave of intense discussion. In the aftermath, Ford Corporation's stock price took a nosedive.Dash, who had been watching the drama unfold from Eldoria, couldn't help but comment on the post as well, repeatedly complimenting Natalie for her professionalism and competence.Almost instantly, Ford Corporation's competitors swiftly reached out to Natalie online, hoping to bring her on board, and even contacted Dash to try to hijack the project. In a matter of hours, Natalie's actions had shaken the entire business world.At that moment, before Liesel even took her first bite of breakfast, Natalie had alrea

"You know how it is. It's always hard to strike a deal between two smart people."Charles laughed.He knew that when Liesel suggested a partnership with Ford Corporation to manufacture anti-cancer drugs, it was actually a huge trap.Liesel and Howard were both researchers. Who could say for sure that after they gave Ford Corporation the drug formula, they wouldn't refine the drug further and make something even more effective?Considering Liesel's and Howard's intelligence, there would undoubtedly be a more potent version of the drug. However, Liesel would never choose to continue working together with Ford Corporation. Therefore, he had decided to ask for a mile. He had asked to collaborate on the artificial intelligence project.It wasn't that he was being greedy.It was because Ford Corporation wasn't the same as it had been a year ago. He had to tread very carefully to avoid falling for someone's scheme again.Without Liesel and Drew, there were many tasks that only he and

"Do you not want to hug?" Liesel cocked her head at him. "Don't think I don't know you. I bet you already wanted to kiss me and hold me the moment you spotted Jacob. Otherwise, you wouldn't have tightened your arms around me."Hadn't Elijah done that to send Jacob a message that Liesel belonged to him?Having been together for so long, there wasn't anything that she didn't understand about him."In that case, thank you for giving me a chance and playing along." Since he couldn't think of an excuse, he just came clean. There was even a look of amusement on his face.He pulled her into his arms affectionately. She also hugged him back, like she was a child staking her territory."Should we add some more spice and kiss?"This was really becoming more and more provocative.Why not?A smile appeared on Elijah's face, as if he was saying to her, "Bring it on."And she did. She peppered Elijah's face with continuous pecks. Then, she yanked on his collar, like she was claiming him as

From a short distance away, Jacob could see Elijah's arm curled around Liesel's tiny waist. She seemed very dependent on him as she lay in his arms listlessly. It was a stark contrast to the way she behaved in public with other people.Whether it was with reporters or business partners, she always seemed like a steady pillar of strength. She was graceful and calm, but there was a hidden sharpness within her.Anyone who interacted with her could feel the hidden threat that was lurking inside of her.Yet, the Liesel now seemed to have shed all the sharp spikes on her body, revealing only the soft insides. She appeared gentle and submissive… Or rather, she only showed this side of her to her lover.He should have been the one to get all of this.He should have been her lover.He was the one who'd thrown all of this away. All he could do was watch as Elijah purposely pissed him off.He was a man too. Of course, he knew that Elijah was doing it on purpose.Of course, he resented Eli

Elijah seized Liesel's wrists while chuckling coldly. "So what if you're someone's wife? If I wanted you, all I'd have to do is tell him. Then, he'd definitely have someone clean you up nicely and send you straight into my bed."He lifted her chin with his finger. "Do you think that your husband is a decent man? Do you think that he'd disobey me for you?"Liesel swallowed. She was enraptured by the look in Elijah's eyes right now.He nibbled on her ear while patting her panicked and pale face. "If you're obedient, I'll treat you well. If you're unwilling to play along and make me happy, I'll kill your husband and lock you up in my home. You'll never see the light of day again."Stripping off her clothes, Liesel bit his earlobe and whispered, "It's such a waste that you didn't go into the acting industry with Chelsea."Elijah chuckled quietly, letting her hands roam all over him. They left a trail of fire in their wake. When he was all riled up and ready to go, Liesel suddenly hugg

Liesel left.Charles gazed at the still-warm cup of tea on the table. There was a chilling look in his eyes.This was one of the times he'd made the wrong move.After walking out of Charles' office, Liesel wasn't surprised to see Jacob. However, she didn't even stop and simply walked out.He trailed after her leisurely until she was nearly out of Ford Corporation. Just as he was about to call out to her, he heard a cheerful, gentle voice calling her name."Lili, I'm here to pick you up." Jacob's eyes darkened. When he looked up, he saw Elijah sitting in a wheelchair and smiling at Liesel.Liesel didn't mind at all that he was a cripple. With a grin on her face, she crouched down next to him. Then, she grabbed his hand and placed it against her cheek.Jacob's chest clenched when he saw that. It felt like arrows piercing his heart.Liesel could still feel Jacob's eyes on her, but she didn't care. She even pecked Elijah lightly on the lips in front of Jacob. Then, while pushing

"Charles, even though we worked together for three years, you still don't understand me at all."Liesel tapped her fingers against the desk. While it was quiet, it also sounded indescribably threatening."Have you not seen what happened to Dash?"If someone tries to snatch something from me, not only will I make their wishes come true, but I'll also make them pay the price."You can only take what I give you. If you insist on snatching what I'm unwilling to give… then you will find out the price you'll have to pay."She grinned, but it carried an obvious iciness.Dash was indeed the best example.He had tried to snatch collaboration opportunities from her, so she squashed him. And that wasn't all. She also bought his land and assets from him for dirt cheap.Dash tried to steal her data and establish his own vehicle manufacturing plant in Draskia, so she simply chased him and all his businesses out of Draskia.Anyone who tried to plot against her and steal from her suffered hor

"If you have something that even Jacob doesn't, you must be very loyal to him.""Thanks for the compliment." Charles chuckled quietly. "Of course, I am loyal to Mr. Ford. It's because I'm loyal to Mr. Ford that I kept the evidence just in case."If Matthew decided to betray Mr. Ford one day, then I could use this to retaliate against him. After all, you also know that Matthew is far from a nice person."Jacob placed a lot of importance on Matthew because his parents had passed away early, so he'd been raised by Matthew and Vincent since he was younger. He ended up viewing Matthew as somewhat of a father figure. His love for his family had ended up blinding him, making him unwilling to bring harm to Matthew.However, Charles was different. He didn't have any significant feelings toward Matthew. He only cared about protecting Jacob's interests.Matthew was a selfish person who only cared about his own interests. This was why Charles had gone against Jacob's orders and kept the evi

If it had been Elijah who'd done this, what would Liesel have done?Could she still be so righteous?However, Jacob's words only made her stifle a laugh. Without even turning around, she said sardonically, "If Elijah was this kind of person, then I would never have gotten together with him."Whether it comes to family or lovers, first of all, they should have the right principles. They should know what they should or shouldn't do."Even a child can tell what's right from wrong, but an adult like Matthew doesn't know where to draw the line. Jacob, one day he will pay the price for everything that he's done."In the end, Jacob didn't stop her from leaving.He couldn't help but clench his fists. His eyes darkened.Liesel had always been strongly opposed to evil. Making things worse, Drew was the scapegoat for Matthew's misdeeds this time.Over the years, Jacob had already gotten Matthew out of trouble countless times. He was getting tired of it.He really wanted to call out to Li

Natalie wanted to destroy Ford Corporation as soon as possible.Once there was a new leader in Ford Corporation, would Jacob still be so arrogant?Natalie laughed coldly. Then, she remembered the words she heard in the hospital, and her expression frosted over.She thought that since she was already in the same boat as Edward, and that Edward might become the future leader of Ford Corporation, she could go for him instead.After all, Edward was tall and handsome. In her eyes, he wasn't inferior to Jacob at all.However, she never thought… that Edward already had a lover, and that it was his sister, Ophelia, of all people.Till today, she still remembered how that bitch, Ophelia, had once insulted her because of her background. To defend Liesel, Ophelia had mocked her for being a bastard child.How come Ophelia deserved to be with Edward? They were siblings! Even if they weren't related by blood, they had still grown up as brother and sister. Weren't they afraid of getting expose
