Chapter 162

Author: Cloud Drop
"Lili, did you really agree to get together with Elijah? The entire social circle is saying that you're now lovers."

Chelsea was genuinely worried about Liesel. Otherwise, she wouldn't have rushed to Liesel's place to ask her this after working overtime tonight.

"Yes, we're together now."

Liesel didn't lie. After parking her car, she brought Chelsea upstairs. She explained everything that she'd told Denzel earlier today to Chelsea.

Chelsea had rushed here in a panic and ended up leaving feeling speechless. She also came to understand why Liesel had made this choice.

Now that things had come to this, the only thing she could do was to give her friend her blessing.

She hoped that Elijah was really someone Liesel could entrust her life to and that he wasn't just another Jacob.

Back at the Ford Manor, Vincert had heard some gossip when he went out today.

Of course, it was about Liesel and Elijah colluding in secret and banding together.

Some knew about Liesel and Jacob's marr

    After getting the staff's agreement, Liesel left.The staff was wearing a Bluetooth earphone in one ear. Only after Liesel had walked away did she pause. Who had Liesel said to hand the letter to just now?The staff had been listening to music and hadn't heard who to give the letter to.It should be Jacob, right?Liesel had a good relationship with Jacob. Because of the situation with Dash recently, she must have to give Jacob an explanation. This letter must contain that explanation.The staff was also worried that she would get in trouble for the delay, so she immediately used the internal phone line to inform Drew.When Drew received the call, he was taken aback. However, he must have had the same idea as the staff and assumed that Liesel had written this letter to explain the incident with Dash to Jacob.Liesel, who had no clue that all of this was going on, checked the time. At this hour, she had enough time to take a soak in the hot springs.Stretching, she changed into a

    At this time, why would Jacob even think about why Liesel had invited him here?He just wanted to let out the desire that was building within him.He didn't know why Liesel would try to entice him behind Elijah's back right now. She was clearly cheating on Elijah by seducing him, but he didn't overthink it.All he wanted was to plunder her and own her. He just wanted more.Liesel was terrified. Her chest heaved, and her eyes were round. She tried her hardest to push the man who was holding her tightly.However, she could barely fight back.The water splashing around in the hot springs soaked her nightgown completely. Now, her alluring curves were on full display. She could wholly feel the man's uncontrollable desire now.His hand pressed firmly against the back of her head as his lips ravaged hers.The thinning air made Liesel struggle to back away. At last, the two of them fell into the hot springs together."Jacob, are you insane?" Panting, she tried to back even further awa

    "We were kissing. Didn't you see us?" Jacob said. His hoarse voice carried a hint of satisfaction from getting a taste of what he desired. He held Liesel in his arms firmly, not allowing her to protest or move."Jacob, you're insane!" Liesel thrashed, trying to push Jacob away. This time, he stopped restraining her. However, even though she was holding the wall, she couldn't stabilize herself. The slap she gave him carried no force whatsoever."Jacob, this is a crime!" She staggered forward and nearly fell, but someone caught her waist. Finally, she fell into Elijah's arms, and he held her firmly.Elijah's gaze was gloomy and dark as he clutched Liesel's arm strongly. "Lili, tell me, did you want to invite him or me?"His eyes were nearly pitch black as he wrapped his arm around her waist. Even now, it was just loosely entwined around her body without any real force."Liesel, did you want to invite him or me?" he asked again in a raspy voice."The one I wanted to invite was you

    Elijah wanted to leave his mark and scent on Liesel's body. He wished to make her completely his. Elijah's reputation was far from positive. Although many speculated that he was hiding his strengths, they also believed he was a playboy who visited many exclusive hotels. Countless women were seen by his side. No one knew how many women he had slept with. However, Elijah remained truly innocent all these years. He would simply wrap an arm around these women just to put on a show. He never even kissed them. Even if he did take them into the hotel, he merely spent a few hours going through documents in the room. Once time was up, Elijah would give the woman a huge check to dismiss her. That gave an impression that he preferred fleeting romances.These women enjoyed accompanying him. After all, they would get a large sum of money by staying in the hotel room for a few hours. Who wouldn't enjoy such an easy task? Since Elijah didn't sleep with any of these women, some even wondere

    Jacob recalled the days when Liesel was by his side. Her gaze used to be filled with earnestness and clear adoration for him. It didn't take long for her to seek comfort in Elijah, which seemed like a betrayal to Jacob.Jacob gazed at their tight embrace. The look in his eyes seemed to grow more bitter. Jacob stood under the bright light, quietly gazing at the kissing couple. Although the light emitted warmth, he merely felt cold. No one knew how long Elijah and Liesel had been kissing, but Jacob's gaze never left them. Despite feeling his chest ache, he still forced himself to watch Elijah and Liesel kiss each other. Once they finally separated, Liesel relaxed as if she could no longer continue kissing. However, Elijah carefully lifted her in bridal style. He laid her on the long chair outside by the hot springs, allowing her to lie down comfortably. Liesel's bright eyes were tinged with red. Her clear, dark pupils were filled with arousal. His kiss had caused her lips to t

    "It was Liesel who put on a show and schemed for our wedding to happen. Are you assuming that I care about her? I definitely don't. From the day we married, I warned her that I would never fall for her in this lifetime!"To me, she's just a cheap woman to satisfy my physical needs. Ford Corporation needs her, and my body needs her. She'll never get any love from me."By then, Jacob already stepped out of the hot springs. He had loosened his tie and was staring at Elijah mockingly. "It's hard to believe that you care so much about her. I've already grown bored of the woman I married for three years before you could even touch her."Jacob grabbed Elijah by the collar and mocked him. "Her body has already gotten used to my needs long ago. "As long as I kiss her, she'll definitely respond to me. Why did you think she invited me here? She clearly wanted me to fulfill her physical needs. After all, you, as her new lover, couldn't even satisfy her desires."Everything Jacob said was i

    The water in the wooden bucket was filled with ice shards. All of its contents were splashed on top of Elijah and Jacob. The iciness caused their anger to dissipate. Elijah's hoarse voice was filled with obvious fury. "Lili, I just wanted to get revenge on your behalf."After hearing Jacob say all that, Elijah was unable to take it anymore. That was why he hit Jacob. Liesel was Elijah's woman, so he would never allow anyone to humiliate her. Elijah also couldn't accept how Jacob casually dismissed three years of Liesel's passionate love for him. All Jacob said was Liesel deserved it.Jacob was being ridiculous and mean."No need to do that." Liesel wrapped the coat around herself tightly as if she was feeling cold. However, there was a faint smile on her face, which seemed warm and gentle. "I no longer care about whatever he said earlier." As soon as she spoke, Elijah and Jacob were taken aback. No one expected Liesel to hear everything. Elijah pushed Jacob aside and got t

    Liesel had always been innocent. "Jacob, I've never hurt you before," she said as she stared at him, her cool gaze filled with hurt. "But why must you keep hurting me?" Why did Jacob have to hurt her? Why did he look down on her? Why did he not consider her human? Was it because she wasn't his beloved? Then, what did her passionate love mean to him all these years?It was okay for Jacob to not love her. But was it necessary for him to be so cruel by torturing her?Liesel clenched her fists tightly. Her face was pale as she pursed her lips weakly. "If I could go back in time, I never would have attended the party that night."I also wouldn't have wanted to marry you. Anyway, I've already divorced you, leaving you without a wife. So, you should let go of me now."Liesel stared at him while emphasizing every word. "Jacob, I don't love you anymore. Let me go."These words left Jacob feeling terribly choked. He seemed to have truly realized that he had lost someone very importa

    "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.

    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.

    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!"

    "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."

    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.

    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
