Author: Cloud Drop
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,

    "Then… you'll be turned into a disfigured creature and put on display at a freakshow. What do you think? Are you looking forward to this kind of future?"If Natalie's future really ended up going down this path, it would be hell on earth for her.Natalie's mouth was still taped up, but she was making miserable cries for help.She didn't want this! No one could treat her like this!Tears spilled down her face, wetting the front of her shirt. She was still shivering bodily.Of course, she knew what Elijah had been hinting at. He had been the one behind her car accident! Because she'd hurt Liesel, he'd retaliated against her!If Elijah was capable of doing that, then he could do those other things as well.This time, she was truly afraid. In fact, she didn't even dare look at Liesel right now. She was really scared that Elijah would have someone gouge her eyes out.At the side, Jeffrey was dumbstruck and unable to say a word. He was also trembling from head to toe.The father and

    When Elijah taped Natalie's mouth, he hadn't shown her any mercy at all. Her hair had gotten caught on multiple layers of tape. As the tape was removed, her hair was yanked from her scalp. It hurt so badly that tears escaped her eyes."Are you useless? Do you know what you're doing? Get lost!" Natalie pushed the housekeeper aside furiously. Her eyes turned red. Now, she didn't even dare to remove the tape that was stuck to her hair. She merely got to her feet shakily.Right now, she didn't have the courage to look at Liesel or Elijah. She was afraid that she couldn't keep the anger from showing in her eyes. Clenching her fists, all she could do was bring a document over. "Mr. Hardin, this is the authorization letter that I just received. Dash has already authorized me to act as their representative. "If any local companies are interested in collaborating with them, they can only have discussions through me. There have already been companies who have offered me olive branches, but

    Jacob had stayed here a few nights before in the past, so he'd kept some clothes here. He and Elijah were roughly the same size, so the clothes would fit."He stays on the video call," Jacob said in a deep voice.Elijah's phone contained a lot of top-secret information, so he naturally couldn't let anyone else help him hold the phone. Thus, he just smiled and spread his arms, asking Liesel to go change her clothes.In truth, he didn't want Liesel to stay behind either. After all, he didn't want Jacob to see her.Liesel slowly walked upstairs. Just as she arrived on the second floor, she couldn't stop a sneeze from coming. Then, she turned around to look at Elijah. Her pale face was now flushed with a sickly shade of red. It seemed like she'd caught a cold.When Jacob saw this, his gaze darkened. At last, he forced himself to ignore Liesel. Glancing at the authorization letter, he said coldly, "The trap in Dash's contract has been pointed out to you. Do you still not get it?"Nata

    How could this be?Natalie thought that after Jacob and Liesel divorced, their story would end there.But why… Why was Jacob still concerned about Liesel?She had stolen everything from Liesel.She had stolen Jacob and Liesel's first meeting. She'd stolen their bond and the memories of the first love that Jacob had kept hidden in his heart for years.She'd stolen everything to finally make herself the main character.She should have succeeded. Weren't they already divorced?So why did Jacob still care about Liesel?Jacob, who was above everyone else, was acting like an average Joe because of Liesel.An unprecedented fury and dissatisfaction overcame her mind, destroying her rationale completely. "Jacob likes Liesel, doesn't he?" she mumbled unconsciously at a volume that she thought only she could hear.Yet, Elijah heard it.Did Jacob like Liesel? Yes, of course, he did.Jacob himself might not be aware of those feelings, but Elijah saw everything.However, he still wanted

    Liesel's body tensed, and she moved her hand away. Elijah was acutely aware of her rejection.Was he moving too fast?Without saying anything, he switched courses and reached out to close the door instead. "Let me take you somewhere."He took the lead while Liesel followed behind him. "Aren't you going to change?" she asked."I'm really not interested in Jacob's clothes," Elijah said. "How long do you plan to stay at the Sharp residence? This isn't a nice place to be."Liesel lowered her gaze, and her heart trembled slightly.Indeed, the Sharp residence wasn't a nice place to be. Every time she came here, something bad happened.Liesel trailed after Elijah. After a few steps, Elijah slowly came to a stop. She looked at him in confusion. She stared into his smiling eyes. "I don't think it's very nice to keep showing you my back. Why don't we walk next to each other?" he asked.His words left her in a momentary daze.Walking next to each other did sound very romantic.Hiding

    Ophelia snatched the junk food box in a huff to fill the gift boxes with snacks."You! Stop causing trouble!""Okay, okay! I'll stop messing around." With that, Joseph muttered, "It was just a few sweets…"Ophelia glared at him. Joseph immediately cleared his throat and no longer uttered a word. Instead of teasing her, he also began helping her pack the boxes. Not trusting him, Ophelia intentionally inspected each box. She only felt assured to hand him the boxes once she was certain none of the chocolates or snacks were missing.Not long after Joseph started packing, he began looking around absentmindedly. He looked down and noticed many private messages on Ophelia's phone. Those still part of Yvonne's fandom had sent those messages. They were scolding Ophelia.Ophelia merely glanced at the messages before nonchalantly turning off the phone screen. Not only were she and Joseph done wrapping the boxes, but Edward had finished preparing breakfast as well. Edward prepared all of

    "Oh!" Joseph exclaimed. He whirled around and took a step back before patting Edward's palm. "Shouldn't you give me something in return for my advice? A present or something, right?"Edward came off as rather domineering as he asked icily, "Tell me which car you want. What model and series? When do you want it?"Yes, Edward had brought up cars. Joseph's eyes lit up. "I want the latest SUV from Land Rover within the next three days."It wasn't as if Joseph couldn't afford the car. He simply liked messing with his friends. After all, free things were the best. "Sure." Joseph continued flatteringly, "Bro, this is how it works. Women are usually more soft-hearted, especially someone like Ophelia at her age. You should give in sometimes."Be shameless if she ever tries to drive you away. Hug her and act pitiful by saying that you don't want to leave her. Say that you can't sleep or will have nightmares if you don't see her. You can even be more dramatic."Joseph was quick-witted enou

    Ophelia was left dumbfounded after hearing Joseph's advice. What nonsense was he talking about? He was supposed to be on her side, not sabotage her. Edward shoved Ophelia out of the kitchen. "Something's wrong with his brain, so just ignore him. Go and rest."Ophelia was still perplexed as Edward pushed her out of the kitchen. However, she didn't probe further since she refused to speak to him for now. Once Ophelia was gone, Joseph immediately cursed. "You're such a beast. 28cm, 28cm. Why don't you cut off that thing of yours? Did you think your sweetheart is someone who appears in those adult films?" Edward's eyes twitched. He finally understood what Joseph had been blabbering about. Joseph was such a pervert through and through. Edward slammed the knife onto the chopping board. "I'm talking about my age. What's gotten into you?""Oh, it's your age." Joseph sighed in relief. He had been worried about how Draskia could have such a pervert like Edward.After a while, Joseph e

    "Ophelia." As soon as Edward spoke, Ophelia glanced at him nonchalantly. "I'm starving."Edward was relieved that she was still willing to talk to him. "I'll prepare breakfast." With that, he cast a glance at Joseph. "Come and help me."Joseph scoffed. He got to his feet before stretching lazily. He hadn't slept for the whole night as he accompanied Ophelia playing video games and doing other things. He was indeed slightly exhausted.But Joseph was well aware that Edward did not want him to be alone with Ophelia. Regardless, Joseph was fine with helping Edward with preparing breakfast. After all, he was there for the drama.Every three days, a housekeeper would drop by Ophelia's condominium and replenish her fridge with all kinds of fresh vegetables and fruits. While studying abroad, Edward wasn't used to the local fast food. Hence, he became independent and learned how to prepare meals on his own. Now, he was an excellent cook.However, Edward was still at a loss on how to

    Ophelia took a picture of the fan merchandise she had wrapped before posting it on Twitter, where Chelsians were still waiting for the giveaway. No one could be bothered with Yvonne, who was trying to stay relevant.Ophelia was still preparing the fan merchandise when she heard the doorbell ring in the middle of the night. Within the next second, she received a WhatsApp call from Joseph, which she answered."Ophelia, open the door for me."Ophelia was surprised. She wondered what was wrong with Joseph. Shouldn't he be sleeping now? Why had he dropped by in the middle of the night?She was no longer worried, knowing that Joseph was at the door. She opened it and watched Joseph squeeze through the door while holding a large bag of what seemed to be snacks."Shouldn't you be sleeping now? Why are you here?" Ophelia couldn't help but roll her eyes."You're not asleep either." Joseph went through the large bag before finally fishing out a game controller, which was also a limited-edit

    Sebastian's face had turned ashen, having understood how grave the situation was. "I'll go and apologize to the Fords tomorrow. This matter mustn't drag down our family."Although Brandon doted on Yvonne, he refused to let her have her own way. "Dad, she should apologize for what she did, so you don't have to go. I'll take her to apologize to the Fords tomorrow to show our sincerity."Veronica refused to give in. She continued protecting Yvonne, feeling rather upset. "No! We should never allow our Yvonne to apologize!"Who did they take Yvonne for? Why should she apologize in person? The Fords are really misusing their power over these small squabbles.

    "Dad, Mom. Yvonne has always been filming on set this whole time. How could she have offended Chelsea?

However, Yvonne became sheepish and didn't say a word.She had sought out Sebastian, Veronica, and Brandon to seek justice for her, yet she felt extremely embarrassed. She continued sobbing, sounding sadder than ever."Yvonne, what's going on? Say something! I won't know what actually happened if you keep crying!" Veronica was so upset that she began tearing up.Yvonne threw herself into Veronica's arms. "Mom! What am I going to do? They're going to blacklist me from the industry.

    Yvonne had fallen to that point. She couldn't continue falling any further and get embroiled in more scandals. She averted her gaze as she took off in a hurry. Even at a distance, she could still hear the crew members mocking her name loudly while insulting her. As soon as Yvonne entered the elevator, she could no longer hold back her tears. By the time she left the elevator and reached the car, she was already a crying mess. She leaned against the steering wheel and sobbed nonstop. Once she had cried enough, she drove back to Zima Villa as her last hope. At that point, she was forced to return to beg her parents, Sebastian Zima and Veronica Pole. Meanwhile, Joseph had kept an eye on Ophelia's situation. He always had been one to keep up with the gossip and not interfere no matter how bad things got. He even intentionally messaged Edward, leaving him uneasy after learning what happened to Ophelia. Joseph: "Are you aware that Ophelia has been bullied?"Joseph: "Do you remembe

    How could Yvonne say that her fans were for her to exploit? That was one way to drive her fans away completely. They weren't pathetic for wanting to idolize someone.Yvonne's remaining fans tagged her on Twitter to demand answers, but she dared not respond at all. A few of her die-hard fans were left dismayed and completely disappointed in her. This prompted them to announce their departure from the fandom. Meanwhile, her remaining fans were clueless and couldn't make much impact.The video exposing Yvonne's true colors triggered a new trend "A Discussion About The Relationship Between Idols And Their Fans". Many inevitably brought up Chelsea, and Damian's fans chimed in that he was even more gentle and considerate.
