Chapter 205

Author: Cloud Drop
Elijah was the type of person who always knew how to take advantage of a situation.

Liesel was kind enough to cut fruit for him, so he pushed his luck and asked her to feed him as well. His eyes even glimmered with a hint of fawning.

Though he was clearly as sly as a fox, in that moment, he looked more like a cute, mischievous kitten or puppy—one you'd want to ruffle and pinch its cheeks.

Liesel felt a slight warmth and tingling sensation in her fingertips. She kept her expression neutral as she continued to cut the apple into pieces. Then, she pierced the apple with a toothpick and brought it to his mouth.

Elijah smiled as he bit into the fruit, not forgetting to hold her hand as he flirted, "Lili, you feeding me makes it taste even sweeter."

Jacob watched the scene with a blank expression.

Elijah, who was still smiling, said, "Mr. Ford, if you also enjoy apples, you're welcome to peel one for yourself. Or… since you have another Ms. Sharp to take care of you, there's no need fo

    Regret.Did Jacob regret it?"I don't know," he said. His throat was dry.He rubbed his aching chest. It felt like someone had slashed his chest open with a knife and left behind thousands of tiny little cuts. The tiny pricks of pain didn't hit him all at once like a tidal wave. Instead, it felt like a million ants eating away at his heart.He really didn't know.Denzel rubbed his tired eyes. "Right, you've never known that emotion. Well, does it hurt? Does it hurt to see Liesel and Elijah together? Does it hurt to see them kiss?"Looking at Jacob, he pushed his glasses up his nose. "If it hurts, then you love her."Love?Jacob seemed confused. He didn't know whether this strange feeling was love. Wasn't it just his possessiveness acting up?His gaze was still directed at the hospital room. Liesel always smiled when she looked at Elijah. They got along peacefully and harmoniously. Even he had to admit that they were a great match.However, she should have been his woman inste

    Liesel raised an eyebrow like she was considering Elijah's game. Even the corner of her eye seemed to be raised.She slapped his hand away and then turned her head to continue reading. "Why do you think I'm still thinking about him?"This time, the world-class financial summit was centered around Ashthorne. All the attendees were renowned businesses from all over the world who were coming in search of partnership opportunities. Naturally, Liesel had her eye on a few projects that she wanted to bid for."The auction is in two days, after which the financial summit will be around the corner. The college entrance exam is starting in a month, and I have plans to drop by Ashthorne First High School. With so much happening at once, where would I find the time to think about him?"It's not like I have a lot of spare time," she said lightly.Although Elijah felt exhilarated to hear Liesel say that, he couldn't stop himself from saying, "Doesn't that mean you also don't have the time to th

    Elijah's amusement deepened. He played with Liesel's hands, interlacing their fingers together. "That's not too bad. As the big bad villain, I defeat the main character and steal his princess away. It's the perfect ending. The villain likes it."Even at this time, he's still capable of sweet-talking her.Of course, she could hear the placating tone in his voice, like he was talking to a child. Seeing Elijah lean down to kiss her, she turned her face to the side and covered his mouth. "Elijah, why do you never get enough kisses?"Even with her hand covering his mouth, there was still a smile in Elijah's eyes. He bit her fingers gently and said, "When I look at you, I can't help it."Liesel was a little exasperated. Actually, she felt like Elijah was a bit clingy. Nonetheless, it wasn't a bad feeling. It gave her the misconception that someone actually did care about her wholly."Alright, let's get down to business. What game do you want to play?"Arching an eyebrow, Elijah said, "

    It pointed to Liesel as the culprit?This was really ruthless.If this was really the work of Matthew, perhaps he never had the intention of letting Liesel off in the first place. Or maybe, he'd anticipated that they would protect Liesel and not let this incident blow up.No matter whether it was Matthew or Liesel, Jacob didn't want either side to get hurt."Cover this up. The official story is that there was a car accident, and he died after a resuscitation attempt."Henry had gotten hurt quite seriously in the accident. It wouldn't be far-fetched to say that he'd died from his injuries.Charles was silent for a moment. Then, he turned around to work on cleaning up the evidence for Matthew.Although he said that he was doing this for Liesel, it was actually also for Matthew.Liesel had no idea about what Matthew had just done. While she was in the hospital, Denzel did a thorough check-up on her health.Her body was recovering slowly. Denzel flipped through her patient chart w

    Liesel lowered her head, fiddling with her phone. She seemed to find those words quite interesting."Dr. Johanson, have you considered the possibility that this is something we enjoy? I really want to take care of him, and I also really like to watch him act."Finally, do you still remember what kind of relationship Elijah and I have?"Denzel was silent. Elijah was now her lover, so those words had actually been unnecessary."You shouldn't have said that.""I'm sorry," Denzel said. His calm voice was laced with guilt."There's no need to apologize. I know you said it for my sake."The reason Denzel mentioned it was also because he was worried that she'd fall head over heels in love again and become unable to extricate herself from her new relationship.Liesel's gaze dimmed slightly. Seeing that Denzel didn't have anything else to say, she walked away.When she returned to the hospital room, she found Elijah already going through the documents about the auction.The organizer

    The lanterns outside the auction were decorated with intricate drawings. The drawings swayed gently in the slight breeze, adding an artistic flair to the path.The guests slowly began to arrive. This time, most of them were here for Heather's research materials. They gathered in small groups of twos and threes and started discussing it. Even though they all wore amicable smiles, they knew that everyone in the room was going to be their rival at the auction.Beneath the night sky, the auction seemed like a glowing pearl, emitting a gentle yet enrapturing light.When the guests stepped through the doors, they were immediately stunned by the sight before their eyes. Murals adorned the curved ceilings in the spacious and brightly lit hall. Light spilled from hidden corners in the room, blending with the murals on the ceilings to form a mysterious yet solemn atmosphere.The floor was lined with a thick carpet. Its colors and complex patterns seemed to bring out the echoes of history.

    What was Heather's handmade dress doing here?Liesel's gaze sharpened. When she looked up, her eyes met with Natalie's gloating face. Immediately, she understood what happened.The bid for the dress had already reached three million dollars. Liesel raised her paddle and called her bid. Heather's dress couldn't end up in the hands of an outsider.From afar, Natalie saw Liesel's expression turn to ice. Coquettishly, she shook Jacob's arm. "Jake, I really like that dress. Can you win it for me?"Heather's dress…Jacob pursed his lips while saying nothing. Natalie blinked innocently and continued, "Jake, do you not want to win this dress because of Liesel? I don't think she'd mind."Actually, she already had a grasp on Jacob's personality; he was unwilling to admit his feelings for Liesel. She had only brought it up knowing that Jacob would rebuke it. Or perhaps, in order to prove that he didn't feel anything for Liesel, he would get the dress for her.As she expected, Jacob's gaze

    The auction came to a close.Liesel didn't stay for long. Just as she was about to exit the venue, she saw a young man waiting on guests.The young man was slim and lanky. There was a hint of aloofness in his eyes, but his face was ashen with illness. Despite this, one could still see a hint of determination on the young man's cold face.Xavier?What was he doing here? Wasn't he about to take the college entrance exam soon?Liesel approached him. The ice had already vanished from her face, leaving behind only gentleness. She stopped next to him and said, "Xavier, are you working part-time?"Xavier was stunned when he saw her. He recalled what Liesel had said when she gave him that name card, that he could call her any time.On sleepless nights, he had indeed considered calling Liesel for help. However, he only had these thoughts when he was at his weakest in the middle of the night. When the next day came around, he would psych himself up, thinking that he could solve everything

    "That's because they couldn't find any proof. You'd best be careful from now on. Who knows, you might end up going down the wrong path and go missing!"Austin took out his phone and swiped the screen a few times. Then, he smiled and said, "Mr. Hardin, I'd recorded what you said on my phone and just uploaded the clip to the cloud. If something ever happened to me, my friend would help me call the police, and you'd be the prime suspect.""You're fucking asking for it!" Richard raised his fist while snarling."Enough!" Felix said coldly. "Let's watch the live stream!"Richard pointed his finger at Austin's nose threateningly. Then, turning to Liesel, he said, "Liesel, I believe that you were the one who recruited Austin into the company."Liesel ignored him and just looked up at the big screen.Richard added, "The tweet you posted gave Dash the inspiration to do this. Now, they're holding the test drive event three days earlier than us. Are you happy now? Have you realized that ever

    "What can I help you with, Austin?""Ms. Sharp, I wanted to clarify that I really didn't steal any company secrets. Alisha and I are just dating," Austin said, and his cheeks turned slightly red. He continued shyly, "Those emails I sent her were love letters, not Trojan viruses. The police have also investigated and found nothing wrong. Please believe us, Ms. Sharp."It was a good act. Those who weren't in the know might really think that Austin was just an innocent young man in love.Liesel narrowed her eyes but said nothing.Howard chuckled quietly, and his gaze was icy.A strange atmosphere fell over the trio.Liesel knew that Austin was putting on a show, and Austin himself knew that Liesel knew.But so what? In Austin's view, the winner could put on a show, fabricate lies, and do whatever to destroy the other party. Meanwhile, the party getting destroyed would just be forced to accept it.Hardin Group was powerless to make a comeback, so there was no way that Liesel coul

    The reason Blair had reached out to Liesel was to tell her that Rayden Enterprises was going to hold a test drive event at Silvermist Peak this afternoon. The entire event would be broadcast live, and the news had already spread far and wide.Howard's new smart technology could free mankind from the shackles of conventional energy and help them move toward a new era.Draskians were paying close attention to this, and Rayden Enterprises was rejoicing. The whole world was watching this small test drive event.Liesel wasn't the least bit surprised.When she had the PR department share the promotion plan, she had already guessed that Rayden Enterprises would try to take control of the situation first.Until they managed to squash Hardin Group, they were not going to stop.This technology could only be completely owned by one company, just like how two tigers couldn't coexist in the same mountain. After this, Rayden's Enterprises would definitely try their hardest to bankrupt Hardin G

    "Who cares about Liesel's love life? I just want to know if Liesel really stole company secrets.""Didn't you see that she was determined to be not guilty and thus released? I wonder if there really was an investigation, or perhaps those in power were charmed by her."There were countless people watching the drama and throwing around snide remarks.Thomas wasn't stupid enough to make a statement right now. He knew that if he did, those people would only attack her even more.However, at that moment, Elijah logged onto his Twitter account and posted a tweet. "She's mine now."He also uploaded a photo of the two of them interlocking fingers. In the photo, pink kiss marks could be seen inside the wrist of the feminine hand, and that hand was even wearing a diamond ring.In the midst of public outcry, Elijah was just calmly and serenely showing off their love.Those who didn't understand thought that Elijah was just standing up for Liesel, but those who understood knew that he was a

    To Elijah, it sounded like Liesel was saying, "Tonight, I'll become yours."She pushed his wheelchair to the master bedroom. Right now, his inability to walk made things easier for her instead. Sitting on his lap, she hooked her arms around his neck, whimpering. In the end, any movement coming from them turned into a quiet moan from the back of her throat. He listened to her syrupy voice. She was the one forcing him, but in the end, she was the one who cursed him with a sob, "Jerk."Well, he was a jerk, wasn't he? She had to practically force him into doing this.What a jerk, Elijah.However… he was really pleased to be able to so clearly feel someone love him so deeply. She knew that he was pulling away, so she tried to pull him out of his shell."Thank you," he said. His voice was husky and listless with pleasure.She propped her chin on his shoulder, gasping for breath. Her body collapsed into a heap, and her mind was spinning. However, in the next moment, Elijah wrapped his

    Become Liesel's? Did she mean that she wanted to do it with him?Elijah felt a little helpless. Before he could say anything, Liesel crossed her arms and looked at him. "Are you going to say that I'm messing around again?"Elijah, I'm not. I really just want to be with you. You know I'm a carnivore. If you keep me on a vegetarian diet, I'll get upset."She was already blatantly spouting nonsense.The reason they had never gone all the way in the past was out of concern for her health.Moreover, although Elijah looked like the epitome of a playboy who wasn't serious about relationships, it couldn't be further from the truth. In actuality, he was a purist when it came to love.He felt that since he hadn't properly proposed to Liesel and taken her to be his wife yet, he couldn't go all the way with her. It was out of respect for her.However, it was clear that Liesel wanted to completely ruin his plan.Elijah had a vague idea as to why Liesel was doing this.She understood him

    "I have a guess as to who was behind this. Charles wouldn't do something crazy now, so it must either be Dash or Augustine. They must want to drag me down."Let me guess how those people are cursing at me right now. Has Thomas' real identity been found out? I bet that they think I'm trying to suck up to him in order to use the Keller family's power to help Hardin Group out of tough times. "Or perhaps, they think that I've betrayed you and chosen the Keller family over you."It had to be between those possibilities. Liesel could guess as much even with her eyes closed.She couldn't help but laugh quietly. "I bet people are already feeling bad for Mr. Hardin for getting kicked to the curb by an unfaithful woman like me."Mr. Hardin, have I dumped you?" She leaned closer to him. Her seductively warm breath wafted over his face. Elijah's face was reflected in her dark, glimmering eyes. "I haven't. We were kissing, right?"With that, she pressed her lips against his again. She kissed

    The door to the private room opened.Liesel wasn't surprised to see Elijah. She merely raised an eyebrow, and her gaze brushed over Thomas. She gave him a small nod and said, "Head home early."Then, she walked toward Elijah. As soon as she approached, his assistant instinctively stepped aside. Liesel took hold of Elijah's wheelchair and began pushing him out of the room. The two of them chatted and laughed as they left.Thomas remained seated on the cold, hard floor with his back pressed against the icy wall. A deep ache spread through his chest.Both of them were so comfortable with each other. The way Liesel looked at Elijah was warm and filled with joy—completely different from how she looked at him.When Liesel looked at him, her eyes held a hint of appreciation, but nothing more. Just as she had said, she admired him, but her gaze had never carried the emotions of a woman in love.To her, he was nothing more than a fleeting presence in her life. But when she looked at Elija

    Thomas trembled slightly at the thought and smirked at himself mockingly.As he studied Elijah, Elijah was quietly observing him in return.This wasn't Elijah's first time meeting Thomas.On the day of the interview, Elijah had caught a glimpse of him in passing. Back then, Thomas had radiated confidence and defiance, like a proud lion ruling the prairie. But now, he looked like a rabbit with tear-streaked, bloodshot eyes.Although calling him a rabbit wasn't entirely accurate, the redness in his eyes was undeniable.Had he confessed again? It seemed he had been rejected yet another time.Elijah's hand rested on the armrest of his wheelchair as he gazed at Thomas calmly. He didn't question Thomas' relationship with Liesel because he trusted her completely. If anything, at this moment, Elijah found Thomas pitiful.Thomas didn't know what Elijah was thinking. Seeing Elijah's frail state filled him with shame. Pursuing Liesel behind Elijah's back now felt utterly disgraceful.He c
