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—"

    "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

His overwhelming desire to bring her down had made him reckless.Investigators from White-Collar Crime Division arrived at Hardin Group. They wasted no time as they launched an in-depth investigation. The theft of such a groundbreaking research project by foreign competitors was a severe blow to the nation's industry and had drawn top-level attention.No one was allowed to leave the premises, and all employees of the research department were under scrutiny.Austin's gaze was cold and venomous. He felt nothing but contempt for Elijah and the others. To him, these men were pathetic fools for degrading themselves for a woman.

Alisha had handled everything. None of it could be tied back to him.He was in

    "Mr. Hardin has always protected Ms. Sharp," someone whispered. "He left a will that stated he would give everything to her. But as long as he's alive, that will doesn't matter. No man could tolerate such betrayal. Ms. Sharp will definitely be kicked out of Hardin Group."By the end of her words, her voice had begun to tremble. Sobs broke out of her chest. She sounded utterly pitiful.Austin wiped his face again and heaved a heavy sigh to blend in. No one knew about the chilling malice and deep satisfaction hiding in his eyes.Just then, slow, deliberate footsteps echoed down the hallway, followed by the sound of the glass door being pushed open.Everyone's heads turned. The murmured discussions fell silent, and the tense air became heavy with a solemn weight.Austin lowered his hand from his mouth and arranged his face into an expression of anxious unease.The moment he had been waiting for had finally arrived.

    Austin's face was pale, and he looked down, seemingly like everyone else in the room. But a closer look would reveal that he was the most different of all.A sly smile tugged at his lips. There was even a flicker of light in his eyes, showing an air of ease and satisfaction. He was disconnected from the sorrows of those around him.How was Liesel doing now?The thought crossed Austin's mind, and he couldn't help but blink with interest.The peak of her life was just ahead. With one step, Liesel could have everything everyone dreamed of—applause, wealth, status, and a bright future.But at the closest moment to success, her outstretched hand was brutally severed, and her foot fell into an empty void.The pain must have been excruciating.Austin shook his head and sighed inwardly. Liesel was so pitiful.He put his freshly cleaned glasses back on his high nose bridge. Avoiding the gazes of others, he wore a most comfortable smile.He thought with satisfaction, "I climbed over you

    An elderly man sitting next to Richard said, "One month. Liesel has to go if things aren't settled in a month."Felix looked at Liesel, who nodded.And just like that, it was decided.Richard, along with his subordinates, left the meeting room. As they passed Liesel, Richard shot her a look full of disdain.Liesel stood there with a faint smile. She was completely indifferent to the situation.As the group walked by, Howard subtly extended his long leg.Richard tripped and went tumbling to the ground, landing face-first. As he scrambled up, he glared back with a grim expression.He could deal with Liesel and plot against Felix, but Howard was a different story. He couldn't do a thing to him."Let's go, Ms. Sharp." Howard stood up leisurely while casually adjusting his silver-gray tie. His Adam's apple sat perfectly at the collar of his shirt.Howard had once again reached new heights of attractiveness today.In the elevator, Liesel asked curiously, "You didn't even use a remo

    Felix nodded at Liesel, who was standing on stage. Just as he was about to speak, his phone began buzzing loudly.Every phone call was crucial during such a critical moment. Felix waved his hand, gesturing for everyone to wait for a moment. He checked his phone and saw that he had received more than ten of the same videos over and over again. On the video thumbnail was a silhouette of Liesel embracing Thomas.Felix's fingers twitched as he looked up at Liesel, who was still waiting for his response. At the same time, all the other executives' phones vibrated. Everyone had received the same videos. The crowd stared in shock at the sight of Liesel and Thomas in those videos. She had cheated on Elijah by hooking up with Thomas. Didn't that imply it was actually possible for her to betray Hardin Group? That was the crucial moment Richard had been waiting for. He couldn't help but give some sarcastic remarks. "How exciting for you, Ms. Sharp. You've used my son to take everything aw

    Howard paused, but he wasn't surprised that Richard was trying to cast the blame on Liesel at that moment. Felix also instantly looked up with a fiery gaze. He really didn't understand why they weren't coming up with a solution at that moment. Instead, Richard wanted to continue the internal conflict and fight for some power that outsiders would consider insignificant.Dakota hurriedly placed a hand on Felix's shoulder and hinted for him to calm down. Dakota continued, "Mr. Donner, the same technology with the exact specifications happened to be released before we could even launch it."Things can't be that coincidental. We must get to the bottom of this, but we shouldn't panic and lose our composure either."The turbulent emotions within Felix faded away instantly as he ordered, "As long as the matter isn't clear yet, no one is allowed to make any statements that would negatively impact the company or their colleagues!" The first order of business was to keep everyone's mouths

    "No. Ms. Sharp wants to achieve a global market share of 35%.""Wow! That target is insane! If Ms. Sharp succeeds, won't our company be making a fortune? Those two are our most profitable projects!""We can't be sure how much our company will earn since those amounts are way beyond our imagination. We might as well think about how much bonuses we'll receive this year.""I think I can use my bonuses this time to pay a down payment for a house in Ashthorne. I might even be able to get a nice car."Everyone's excited voices drifted across the spacious office. Their eyes lit up with excitement and hope. Austin tossed the files aside before reaching for his phone to send a text. "It's time." After sending the message, he deleted it instantly, and the chat vanished as well.A moment later, an overseas car manufacturer suddenly announced some earth-shattering news, causing a stir across the automotive industry.At the same time, Augustine's family also revealed their cancer treatment

    These new projects were worth hundreds of millions in the market, and Liesel was the reason everyone could enjoy the profits. Before the announcement was even over, rounds of applause echoed across the meeting room several times.The optimized cancer treatment medication was enough to surpass the related treatments that foreign countries had always dominated. The medication had outperformed those of the Bergs' family company, which led to Hardin Group capturing their market share.Everyone in the meeting room beamed at Liesel on stage. Even Richard was amazed by how profitable these projects were.Howard held a remote as he leisurely controlled a colorful drone. Despite being present at such a crucial meeting, he remained carefree and indifferent. However, no one dared to criticize him. He was the only one who could develop the blueprint Liesel had drafted. Hardin Group could only go as far as Howard's strong capabilities.The executives' faces had gone red from excitement, and s

    Of course, Thomas heard of Elijah before and became indignant instantly. "I can definitely achieve whatever Elijah has! He always spends his time flirting with women. How could I not be better than him?" Thomas was disdainful. To him, Elijah was a spoiled heir just like himself. "You've not kept up with Elijah for so long." Cameron seemed to have aged a lot in a moment. "He's been pretending all this while. Have a look for yourself."Cameron had ordered someone to organize all information related to Elijah last night so Thomas could have a look once he was awake. Thomas looked through every page. The more he read, the more despondent he grew.Elijah pretended to be useless, but Thomas was truly incompetent. If Thomas had to make a point, the Kellers were far wealthier than the Hardins. In terms of looks, Elijah was known for being attractive. Thomas was even once worried that Liesel might find him too muscular.Thomas' eyes lit up as he read the last part of the files. It deta
