"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

Elijah cupped Liesel's face with his hands. A glint of helplessness flashed in his narrowed eyes as he looked downward. However, his warm gaze was filled with gentleness when he looked at her.That kind of tenderness might not even represent passionate love. Elijah happened to care for Liesel and was protective of her. Hence, he paid close attention to her.He kept wiping away her endless tears. Still, Liesel was gorgeous.At that moment, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were red. Her eyes, which should have been filled with happiness, held only despair. It looked as if Liesel had applied blush to the tip of her nose as well. Tears fell from the corner of her eyes without stopping.Did Liesel run off so quickly because she knew she couldn't hold herself back from crying? Perhaps she didn't want Jacob to see how miserable she was. Despite knowing that Liesel was crying for Jacob, Elijah still couldn't help but feel sorry for her. There was a slight bitterness within Elijah'

Elijah made a small wish. He prayed that Liesel would still be by his side for his birthday celebration next year. Liesel opened her eyes and met Elijah's friendly gaze, which was filled with desire. The dim room was only lit by the faint candlelight, making his dark eyes sparkle."What are you looking at me for?" Liesel's cheeks burned slightly. She felt weak all over after sensing his intense gaze on her. Elijah instantly leaned closer, his face drawing nearer to hers while watching her look at him."I was thinking." His warm breath fanned her face, causing the atmosphere in the room to turn intimate. "For my actual birthday present, could you let me kiss you?"Liesel tilted her head, not wanting to meet his overly heated gaze. Elijah let out a low chuckle while grabbing her chin gently. Liesel didn't object as she raised her head to meet his eyes."Didn't you want that pen as your birthday present?" she retorted to his request. "I'm slightly greedy." Elijah cupped her

Elijah also wore the same black robe, but his demeanor was more reserved. He seemed much more carefree, though that didn't make him any less threatening than Jacob.Elijah looked up while stroking his thin lips. It was as if he was trying to show off or even declare his dominance.Jacob stood rooted to the spot, his darkened gaze fixed on Elijah's and Liesel's figures. He had no idea when Drew showed up beside him. Drew dutifully handed the information he'd gathered to Jacob, who frowned when he saw Natalie's gloating smile in the surveillance footage."Mr. Ford, what do you need me to do?" Drew asked. He had an idea of what likely happened last night.It was definitely Natalie who harbored sinister thoughts of ruining Liesel. She wanted Elijah to see Liesel and Jacob kiss, causing Liesel to lose Elijah's protection.Even Drew's gentle gaze had turned cold and filled with disdain toward Natalie. "There's no need to do anything."Jacob tore the documents before tossing the bit

A look of contemplation appeared on Liesel's cool face. "I'll be there," she finally said.After a pause, she looked up at Jacob. "I'll bring Elijah along."Once Liesel finished speaking, she did not stay any longer and left with Elijah. She only clenched her fists after getting into the car, unable to suppress the hatred in her heart. "Liesel, something's off about you."Liesel pursed her lips as she gazed at Elijah beside her, but she did not respond.Elijah did not bring it up again. To him, it was far better for Liesel to sit with her thoughts for a while. He guessed that her sudden change in emotions was because of Matthew. That said, based on their current relationship, they probably weren't close enough for Liesel to share everything with Elijah completely. …Since there was a meeting scheduled at Ford Corporation, Jacob returned to the company. Once the meeting was over, he learned that Elijah had dropped by for a visit.Jacob had no clue about Elijah's purpose for

The Ford family's current manor was located in an extremely busy area, but that wasn't their initial family home.After being persecuted in their earlier years, the Fords' property was sold off, eventually ending up in the hands of the Hardin family.The Ford family's original property was in Ashthorne's most thriving area. It resembled a grand castle and had been considered a protected site in Draskia for a long time. Even without considering the value of the Fords' initial family home, the land alone was worth more than ten billion. Elijah must have been mad to casually use the Fords' initial family home as a bet.Jacob asked in a low voice, "Elijah, are you being serious right now?"Elijah's gaze was icy as he replied, "I wouldn't joke about something like that. If Hardin Group wins, you must hand me evidence of Matthew's crimes. If you're the winner, I'll transfer the Fords' initial family home to you."Jacob's gaze darkened. "Sure. It's a deal."Elijah looked downward as

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.

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?"
