Chapter 153

Author: Cloud Drop
"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

    Liesel looked up. Her cool gaze landed on Denzel. "I was married before. I'm pregnant with Jacob's baby. I want to give birth to this baby and raise him."I have many suitors in the industry. It's true that they like me, but could I be sure that any of them wouldn't mind my being pregnant?"Even if they don't mind, their families would. Not to mention, the child in my belly will become the object of their hatred. Even if I give birth to him, I'm afraid he won't live long."She spoke calmly, but the words she uttered sent chills running down Denzel's spine."They will be worried that this child will steal the family fortune. Thus, there's no way that my child can survive to adulthood."It was true that these considerations of Liesel's could actually happen.Or perhaps, it was more accurate to say that they would definitely happen."So Elijah is different?" Denzel asked.Liesel tightened the grip on her cup. "Like I said, we're the same. If it was up to me, I wouldn't kill this c

    "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!
