Eventually, Elijah looked at Liesel and asked languidly, "What's our relationship?"With an arm resting on the back of a chair, he spoke casually, yet his gaze was fixed on Liesel.It was clear that he cared deeply about the answer as well.Meanwhile, Jacob's deep eyes were trained on the two.Liesel wanted to laugh.Elijah was truly quite a calculating man.He had come to Ford Corporation that day to make a show of being affectionate with her so that the others would speculate about their relationship.On the rooftop, he'd said that he'd leave the decision to Liesel.In reality, she didn't have much choice in the matter.They did nothing on the rooftop, yet who would believe that?That post had been shared everywhere. Everyone was saying that their relationship was ambiguous.Rather than leaving it ambiguous, she might as well give him a role right now. The only reason Elijah was so calculating was that he wanted Liesel to acknowledge him. He wanted their relationship to

Why did she choose Elijah when they had just gotten a divorce?Why did she give up on him so quickly?If this was the love Liesel had for him, why was her love so feeble?"What?" Liesel was stunned. The question had come out of nowhere. She didn't understand.However, Elijah did. Amused, he clapped his hands and chuckled."Because we're two of a kind. It's that simple." Elijah spoke up, making sure Jacob could hear his words clearly.In truth, Liesel could acknowledge their relationship in this situation largely because she had fallen into Elijah's trap.He had put his cards on the table.Of course, he was her best option right now. There was no reason for her not to choose him.Besides, it was his deliberate schemes that had brought about this situation.When Elijah noticed Jacob's reticent face and subdued gaze, he turned his head away and smiled, somewhat amused.Liesel looked up at Jacob and asked, "What do you mean 'why'?"Jacob glanced at Elijah, who was grinning wi

Elijah held the hand of his new girlfriend.This time, Liesel didn't avoid him."Take a dip in a hot spring during summer?" Liesel raised a brow. She could tell that Elijah had some cheeky ideas in mind."Tomorrow's my birthday. What will you give me as a present?"Elijah gently stroked the softest and smoothest part of Liesel's wrist as he asked. There was a hint of longing in his voice.With her head tilted, Liesel gave him a meaningful smile.She grabbed Elijah's hand in turn and warned him, "Elijah, do you want me to visit a hot spring and get even more intimate with you while Jacob's child is in my belly? Is that what you want?"Elijah's expression stiffened.He was well aware that Liesel was giving him a reminder.Even though they were in a relationship now, they weren't together because they were in love. They were together simply because they were compatible.It was simply because the shareholders had forced them to acknowledge their relationship. In other words, it w

Jacob's gaze never once departed from Liesel, as if he were waiting for her answer.Liesel softly chuckled and said, "If that's what you like, sure. You might have to wait a little longer if a pen is all you want."Elijah tightened his grip on her hand and chuckled. He was clearly happy. "I don't mind waiting for even longer if that's what it takes to get your handmade gift."Without a word, Jacob grabbed his phone and turned to leave.He strode into the elevator and stopped suddenly. He then supported himself against the metal wall and let out a heavy sigh.The other shareholders, who had been waiting for him, followed him into the elevator. They surrounded him and started talking about how the partnership with Dash would bring huge profits to the company."I'm not in the mood to discuss this with you now," Jacob said. His voice was laced with evident coldness.The shareholders fell into silence, clearly intimidated. None of them dared to cross him.Jacob braced his arms again

Liesel chuckled nonchalantly. "Mr. Ford, could you please let your Ms. Natalie know that I've only been temporarily suspended, not kicked out from Ford Corporation?"I'm the manager of the project department—not someone whom a newly hired secretary could humiliate!"Natalie's expression changed upon hearing Liesel's words.She couldn't believe Liesel wasn't fired even after doing such a thing. That was just too unfair!Jacob frowned. The coldness in his voice was evident when he said, "I'll have someone to arrange a new one for you. I'll also get Natalie to explain herself to you."Around them, the onlookers started laughing quietly, mocking Natalie. They had known from the start that she was bound to run into trouble doing such things.No matter how close Natalie was to Jacob, she should have understood Liesel's standing at Ford Corporation. Her things were off-limits.Natalie stood frozen in place. Her face turned as white as a sheet. The smugness and mockery from her expressi

Jacob's gaze darkened slowly, and his eyes turned bloodshot. He couldn't stop himself from typing out a text, "Liesel, do you really not care about Grandpa?"Only after typing that did he feel pathetic and shameless. It was like he was using Vincent to tie her down. He knew clearly that a text like this was inappropriate now that the two of them were together.Jacob stared at the words on his screen. After a long struggle, he slowly erased the message.…The rain came to a complete stop. Liesel looked out the floor-to-ceiling windows of the presidential suite at the Heritage Hotel.In truth, she had felt a niggling in her heart until she received a call from Jeffrey, asking her to explain what happened with Dash and Elijah. Now that the Sharp Group was being targeted, Jeffrey was overcome with anxiety. Many of their contracts had been terminated.Now, he was going all in, placing all hopes on Natalie. He knew that Natalie had been burned by Liesel before.That was not all. After

Natalie daydreamed about these possibilities delightfully.Elijah tilted his head and gazed at Liesel with a gloomy look. "Won't you explain?" He smiled, but it didn't quite reach his eyes.Natalie bowed her head while hiding a smile."Mr. Hardin, you should go. It's my family's fault for not educating my daughter properly. I'll teach Liesel a lesson," Jeffrey said coldly. He was asking Elijah to leave.Liesel merely kept quiet and scrolled on her phone. From time to time, she would peek at Elijah with an indifferent look.Elijah chuckled coolly. "Liesel, are you using me?"When he said that, there was an obvious layer of ice in his eyes.Liesel said nothing. She merely glanced up at him with a chilling look, but at the same time, she looked like she didn't care at all.Natalie waited for the conflict to erupt.Someone like Elijah was able to lie low for so many years. It was evident that he wasn't someone who was easy to deal with. Now that Liesel had crossed him, things were

"Elijah, are you really sure you know what you're doing?"There was a lump stuck in Natalie's throat, and her chest felt tight. The bitterness in her heart had reached its limit.She had thought that there was no way that Elijah and Liesel would have any real feelings for each other. She had thought that Elijah would have blown his top when he heard that. She had thought that Elijah would have taken out his anger on Liesel!However, Elijah was now telling her that all of it had been an act!How was Liesel able to get such an excellent man without doing anything? No matter what she did wrong, he was always protecting her.And that was not all. Even though she had once been married and had lost her purity a long time ago, he still catered to her and cared about her!Natalie couldn't accept it!"She was married before! She used to be with Jacob! What's the point of caring about her? She has already been used and played with by another man! Urgh—"Before she could finish speaking,

"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
