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

    Denzel had a lazy look in his eyes. He looked quite exhausted. Most likely, he'd just done two surgeries and hadn't managed to rest yet.They were standing not too far from each other, but Liesel's sharp sense of smell caught the faint scent of antiseptic coming from Denzel.Denzel typically appeared gentle but with a hint of coolness. Due to that, people could clearly sense the gaping distance between themselves and him.However, he always treated Liesel with a hint of intimacy. Or else, the sensitive Elijah wouldn't have sensed a threat.Denzel's cool gaze swept over Elijah."I'm Liesel's—" He seemed to pause intentionally for a brief moment before continuing slowly, "I'm Liesel's brother."Brother? Was he her biological brother or just an older brother figure?Or perhaps, he was an older guy that she dated?There were only two reasons he would use such a general term—if it wasn't that Denzel had feelings for Liesel, then he had to have only said that to toy with Elijah.E

    Elijah pinched a cigarette between his fingers. He badly wanted to light it and take a few puffs to calm his emotions. A blue flame danced at the top of his lighter. However, right before it reached the tip of his cigarette, he extinguished the flame.He was being careless. Liesel shouldn't be inhaling the smell of cigarettes now.Fine, he wasn't going to smoke. Not smoking one cigarette wasn't going to kill him.He clicked his tongue and tossed the whole pack of cigarettes behind him.A tall bodyguard dressed in black clothes appeared from the shadows and caught the cigarettes. "Mr. Hardin, should I follow Ms. Sharp and Dr. Johanson?""It's fine," Elijah said. His voice was slightly hoarse. "You don't have to follow them anymore. She doesn't like it.""Understood, Mr. Hardin."…There weren't many tests to do, but the checkup still took up a lot of time. While waiting for the report to be generated, Denzel poured Liesel a cup of warm milk. "You've decided on Elijah?" he asked

    Neal pinched Liesel's ear as he chided with a hint of jealousy in his tone, "Calling someone else your brother right in front of me? How bold of you." Neal wasn't exerting any force. He just couldn't bear to hear her calling someone else her brother.Liesel crossed her arms and teased, "Well, blame Jeffrey. He sowed seeds everywhere, so now I have plenty of brothers and sisters." Caleb couldn't hold back his laughter. "He may have spread his seeds far and wide, but not everyone qualifies to be my sister." Liesel smirked. "Of course. Only someone like me is worthy." Given her status, it was obvious that Caleb was the one benefitting from this connection. After ending the call, Liesel began to consider her next move. She wasn't going to show mercy to Jeffrey. "Neal, do you want to join me in some mischief?" she asked. Neal perked up and humored her. "That depends. What kind of mischief are we talking about?" Liesel hesitated for a moment. She worried that Neal might thin

    Jordan had already sent people to investigate the mastermind behind the recent incident. To everyone's surprise, the names at the top of the list were none other than Liesel's own family. Jeffrey and Natalie. Their insatiable greed and jealousy made it impossible for them to leave Liesel and Scott alone. To Natalie, Liesel's very existence was a constant affront. To Jeffrey, Scott was a stain on his reputation. He wanted to take revenge.Had Elijah not insisted on leaving Liesel behind this time, she too might have been caught in the car accident. Liesel knew that her family were scapegoats, but that didn't mean she would let them off lightly. As she was leaving, Liesel crossed paths with Neal, who had rushed over to see her. Seated in her wheelchair, she looked up at him with a radiant smile. "Neal, you came to see me." "I've been swamped recently, so I'll have to leave the financial summit preparations to you and Jordan," Liesel said with a hint of apology. "You're t

    Richard let out a bitter laugh."Liesel, those assets belong to Elijah, which means they're part of the Hardin family's inheritance. Naturally, we'll ensure they stay within the family."Liesel smiled. Her smile was breathtaking, but the cold glint in her eyes was impossible to ignore."Then perhaps you should consider why Elijah didn't leave those assets to you but entrusted everything to me instead."It was a sharp question. If their bond had been so strong, why would Elijah bypass his family and give everything to her?The answer was simple: he didn't trust them. He knew the Hardin family was a bottomless pit, a maelstrom of greed that would swallow everything.If his assets fell into their hands, they would never see the light of day again. Elijah left everything to Liesel not just out of love but because he trusted her, knowing she was the one person who wouldn't betray him. The Hardin family, on the other hand, was different. Their endless hunger for profit would destro

    Liesel smiled as she glanced around the room. The room fell into silence, but Uriah couldn't resist sneering. "You claim Hardin Group will collaborate with Shifter Corporation, but does saying it make it true? Do you think you're the CEO of Shifter Corporation? You're not Neal!" Jordan's gaze fell. His eyes were cold and sharp as they landed on Uriah. "I think my presence here already answers that."Richard was nearly driven to fury by Uriah's outburst. He quickly reprimanded Uriah and told him to keep quiet. Though he was partial to his youngest son, Uriah was nothing but a fool! He always said the wrong thing at the worst possible time. Jordan was standing here himself. What more needed to be said? As the vice CEO of Shifter Corporation, Jordan had full authority, just as Liesel, the vice CEO of Hardin Group, did. Together, they more than represented their companies. Besides, it was obvious Jordan was here to support Liesel. Uriah's reckless words risked offending him.

    "I would never force my personal opinions on you. However... as you all know, companies that have already made breakthroughs in 3D technology have accumulated strong financial backing. After 3D comes holograms... and what comes after that?"What I offer you is always the latest cutting-edge technology. Tell me, what can anyone else provide you with that can match that? Immediate gains or long-term benefits—what is it that I can't offer?"Greed was a part of human nature.You give someone a hundred, and they'll want a thousand. You give them a thousand, and they'll want ten thousand.Liesel didn't know what the Hardins were offering, but whatever it was, she could certainly offer more. In the face of immense benefits, small, petty gains couldn't compare.The deals she could bring in were big deals and not empty promises. Just her recent 3D imaging had already caused Hardin Group's stock prices to skyrocket.Even with what happened to Elijah, Hardin Group's stock barely even droppe

    Jordan raised an eyebrow as his gaze settled on Sam's gentle smile. He had encountered his fair share of duplicitous businessmen—those with dark hearts, aggressive tendencies, or deeply buried schemes. But to Jordan, Sam was nothing more than a fool. "Mr. Sam, I thought you only had one brother?" Jordan narrowed his eyes. "And isn't that Mr. Elijah? Since when did you and Uriah become so chummy?"Elijah's barely out of the picture, and yet here you are, toasting drinks and forming alliances. It seems your so-called 'brotherly bond' with him wasn't all that deep." Sam had always harbored a hidden resentment toward Elijah. For years, he had quietly hated him. He kept this dark feeling hidden because he knew he was a failure, reliant on Elijah's protection and care for the rest of his life.So, he had to play a part, pretending to be someone he wasn't.The truth was, he knew deep down that he was already mentally disturbed, a parasite hiding in the shadows.Uriah and Elijah s

    "Wait! My friend's a top talent agent! I'm sending this guy's photo to them right now. Seriously, that guy's face alone is going to make him jump for joy!" "He's standing next to Liesel and he still manages to stand out? That's what you call a real beauty!" Those who recognized Jordan's name were stunned. "Wait, are you guys seriously saying you don't know who Jordan is?" "Jordan! As in Shifter Corporation's vice president!" "Shifter Corporation? The multinational conglomerate that's basically untouchable? The same one with international influence, where even seasoned capital firms clamor for partnerships?"Yeah, Shifter Corporation. Do you want him to ditch all that to join the entertainment industry? Are you out of your mind? Do you have any idea how much he earns per second?" The chat slowed down for a brief moment before exploding in a torrent of frenzied comments. "Jordan lives up to the hype. That face could make anyone lose their train of thought." "So,

    Liesel raised her gaze. Her eyes were cold as they locked onto Uriah. The chill radiating from her was impossible to miss. "And who exactly are you supposed to be?" she asked with one hand resting lightly on the edge of the table. "I worked at Ashthorne for three years and never once heard of some grand figure like you at Hardin Group." She made a shocked face. "Ah, Mr. Uriah. My apologies. It's been so long since I've seen you. You look so diminished. Have you lost your appetite? Or maybe you're just too weak to keep up." The remark was a blatant jab. Everyone in the room knew it hadn't been long since Elijah ousted Uriah from his position at Hardin Group—a coup that wouldn't have been possible without Liesel's support. To Uriah, Elijah couldn't have taken Hardin Group away without Liesel. She was the reason he had lost everything. He slammed his hand on the table as he stood abruptly. "Liesel! Without you, do you think Elijah would've had the guts to take Hardin Group

    "I'm not crazy, but sitting in a wheelchair for negotiations is not my style." Jordan rubbed his temples. "Ms. Sharp, you're stunning enough. You could sit in a wheelchair and still be the most beautiful person in the room. Can you just be reasonable for once?" "No," Liesel shot back. "If I'm sitting in a wheelchair next to you, it'll make you look better than me. I can't have that." Jordan was annoyed. It wasn't his fault that he was good-looking. "Fine. I'll bring the wheelchair, but you don't have to use it. Just promise me you'll call if you feel like you need it. I'll be right there." Liesel trusted Jordan completely. But she knew that showing even a hint of weakness would give the board members ammunition to undermine her. They'd latch onto the fact that she was recovering from a miscarriage. They would turn that into a weapon to question her capability.When they arrived at Hardin Group, the board meeting was already underway. Employees gave Liesel suspicious loo
