Natalie lightly stroked the red diamond earrings she was wearing, thinking to herself that it was time to tell the Scott family about Xavier's whereabouts.

Holding Jacob's wrist, she giggled and whispered in his ears, "Jake, look, is that the boy we saw at Ashthorne First High School? It seems like a work of fate that he met Liesel again."

Jacob's cold gaze swept over them. After a moment, he said in a deep voice, "There's no need to pay them any attention."

Despite saying that, he didn't shift his gaze until Liesel left.

The venue manager, Darren Lebran, approached Xavier. He patted his shoulder with a smile. "You did a great job tonight. Here's your pay. Ms. Sharp has already informed us about you, so go home early and get some rest."

As he spoke, his palms were sweating. No one would have been able to tell that this poor kid had some kind of relationship with Liesel.

Xavier took the cash. The amount had already been agreed upon at the beginning, but the leather envelope held a

    Xavier gave her a cold look. Picking up his bag, he tried to leave. However, as he passed by Natalie, she hooked a finger around his bag strap."Xavier, don't be in a hurry to leave. Why are you so panicked and afraid? Have you been found out? Or are you in a hurry to ask Liesel to save you?"Natalie sidled up to him, encircling him like a venomous snake. Her face was adorned with a mild smile, but there was an icy vibe in the depths of her eyes. "Liesel can't even save herself, so how would she have the energy to save you?"Covering her mouth, she giggled. "Do you think that Liesel comes from some kind of nobility? Her mother died at a young age. In the years after, she grew up meek and obedient. Finally, she met a decent man, but he abandoned her. I'm sure you've heard that she has Elijah by her side now."Her gaze turned ruthless. "You might not know about Elijah's reputation in the industry, but he's a notorious womanizer. The only reason Liesel is attaching herself to him is b

    Feeling those eyes on her, Liesel frowned slightly. She could noticeably smell the stink of rotting garbage coming from these old apartments.Nausea rose in her gut, and she rubbed her forehead in discomfort. Ethan immediately offered her support and helped her move along.With someone leading the way, she finally found the room that Xavier was renting. It was the innermost room in that apartment.As they stood outside, they could hear all the noise in the surroundings. At this hour, the intimate noises of men and women doing the deed could be heard.In an environment like this… what was he learning? How was he going to take the college entrance exam?Liesel couldn't suppress the anger and sadness in her heart. Standing outside the door, she lifted her hand then dropped it again. Finally, she decided to silently take a step back.At last, when she made up her mind to knock, she heard giggling and shouting from inside the room.When Sky received Natalie's text, he'd immediately h

    Sky tried to run away, but the bodyguards grabbed him by the arm. Then, they yanked him aside forcefully and threw him to the floor.Zack was shivering from head to toe, but he still managed to say in a harsh tone, "Who are you? I'm educating my son. How dare you get involved? Watch yourself, or I'm going to call the police and have you thugs arrested!"Xavier hid in a corner. Looking up at Zack's ferocious expression, he said in an indifferent tone, "Will you call the cops to let them know that you're forcing me to take the college entrance exams on someone's behalf?""Shut your mouth!" Zack's face turned bright red. He was about to pounce on Xavier when the bodyguard seized him by the arms at the right moment and pressed him to the floor.Liesel watched this situation unfold with an icy gaze. The father and son were jumping up and down like monkeys."Did you say that you were educating your son? Since when was my biological brother your son?" Liesel said with a dangerous chill i

    In order to allow Xavier to lead a quiet and normal life, Heather had entrusted Xavier to Liesel just before she died. At the time, Liesel had been too young; she didn't have the capability to take care of such a young child.She despised Jeffrey to the bone. She wished she could rip him apart and swallow him. Therefore, she didn't have any hope in him.Xavier was the child that Heather had had with another man. Jeffrey would only harbor a dark hatred for him deep down.Not only did Jeffrey hate the fact that Heather had given birth to another man's child after getting remarried, but he also hated the daughter who shared her blood.However, what made Liesel different was that she also carried the Sharp family blood. Therefore, Jeffrey was willing to raise her. Even if he was treating her like she was livestock, he was willing to watch her grow up. Then, he'd exchange her for things that would benefit him.What about Xavier? In Jeffrey's eyes, he was a "product" of Heather's betray

    Jordan was worried that he'd agitate Liesel even more by asking questions. Thus, he didn't say much but instead deftly changed the subject. "I've already cascaded the order. Neal and I are preparing for the financial summit. There's a foreign company working on smart devices that I'm sure you'd be interested in—""You guys can make the call." Right now, Liesel wasn't in the mood to talk about work.If she didn't even want to talk about business, then she must have been very emotionally affected. Jordan fell quiet and didn't bring up the topic again.Liesel hung up the phone. She slowly shifted her gaze to Zack and Sky. In a calm yet chilling voice, she said, "Take them back. Once we've found out everything, I'll naturally take them to the place they deserve to go.""You can't do this to us!" Zack was shaking. He was obviously scared of the retaliation he'd face if Liesel managed to dig up even more dirt. "This is kidnapping and imprisonment! You're violating our personal freedom!"

    "Xavier, I know you're in shock, but I do need to tell you the truth." Liesel forced herself to remain steady while explaining in a calm tone. However, Xavier interrupted her. "I don't care about all that anymore. Why are you still here? Isn't it better to let me rot away forever, Ms. Sharp?"I somewhat know what you mean. You want me to lead a peaceful life by finding someone to raise me. But if you truly cared about me, how could you not find out anything?"Xavier's gaze was extremely frosty. "Are you really unable to discover the truth, or do you actually not care? Only you would know, Ms. Sharp."He called Liesel "Ms. Sharp" in a cold and unfriendly tone. It was as if Liesel, who stood before him, was merely a stranger. The current Liesel was a stranger to Xavier. Liesel really wanted to defend herself, but she really did overlook the matter. She had been engrossed in her work and love life. While she toiled away for Jacob, Xavier had led a life of hardships. Liesel had

    That way, Xavier could go very far in life even without Liesel's help in the future. Such a talented young man like him was destined to soar high in the sky. After returning to her room, Liesel finally couldn't hold back the nausea rising within her. She dashed to the bathroom and dry-heaved for a long time. Since she didn't eat anything for the day, there was nothing to throw up. Liesel placed her hands on the edge of the sink. She looked at her reflection in the mirror and realized that tears were streaming from her bloodshot eyes.One drop. Two drops. Three drops. She turned on the tap and began to rinse her face, making it seem as if she hadn't been crying earlier. At that moment, she was lying to herself by refusing to accept the truth. How ironic. Many people praised Liesel for being emotionally strong, but no one knew she hid in the room and secretly cried at night.Liesel really wanted to suppress her emotions from surging, but she couldn't hold herself back.

    Liesel was really skinny and light. Elijah found her very soft and sweet while holding her in his arms.However, she was rather miserable at that moment. He could vaguely pick up on her bitter and cold demeanor."Miss, are you really unable to take one step to me? If so, I'll have to take one thousand steps to you."He had a mischievous glint in his eyes. Even his chest trembled as he laughed.Elijah's hug was full of warmth. Before dropping by, he probably cleaned himself up well since the smell of the disinfectant was really faint. Instead, Liesel picked up on the scent of fresh soap and cologne. He rested his chin on her shoulder, nuzzling against her like a cat. His fine black hair brushed against her smooth neck, tickling her slightly. "Why aren't you saying a word?" Elijah released Liesel with a twinkle in his gaze. He only had eyes for her. Liesel's fingertips still trembled slightly. "Elijah, are you playing tricks on me again?" Even her voice was shaky.

    If Xavier really made any mistakes, Liesel would definitely back him up since she was powerful and reliable. He was very confident about that at the moment.In the past, Xavier came off as steady since he had matured early, but he was slightly immature now. It was as if he could afford to be stubborn and childish since he had Liesel as his older sister. Liesel mentioned that she could support Xavier since she was wealthy and powerful. What else did Xavier have to worry about? She was his elder sister.Liesel gazed at Xavier and spoke earnestly. "Xavier, I won't force you to make a decision, but have you truly made up your mind to major in performing arts?"No need to get nervous and change your decision because of me. I just want to know what path you want to take for your future.""I'll choose a performance major, but not immediately." Xavier continued to explain, "I'll go for a physics major first and produce some results. Then, I'll choose what I like later."Howard chuckled.

    Liesel couldn't help but advise Howard. "Mr. Durham, you said Xavier should decide his own future. You've gone too far.""Have I gone too far? Not only did you not discipline him, but you're lecturing me now?" Howard pointed at himself. "I can do much worse! Xavier, you listen to me. If you dare choose to enroll in a performance major, I'll break your legs! I'll break both of them!" Howard was being completely unreasonable. Liesel massaged her temples while thinking about how things were in disarray. Although she never expected Xavier to choose a performance major, it wasn't as if he wasn't allowed to. She retorted. "Didn't you just say that I can support him since I'm his older sister? That's why he won't have a hard time making a decision since I'll be his financial backer."Howard wasn't pleased. "But he has a super high IQ.""But I'm rich.""But he has a super high IQ." Howard refused to let go of the fact that Xavier was intelligent.Most importantly, Xavier was Heather

    Howard had considered everything. Heather and Jason's children definitely had the best genes. Liesel and Xavier had the power to change everything, so why did they insist on learning finance just to earn money?"Like you said, you chose finance because you had no other choice, nor the money. You didn't want to be controlled, so you took that path. "But what about Xavier? Since he has you as his sister, would he even be short of money? You'll always donate money to the laboratory if he lacks any research materials, right?"Since you'll be supporting him, that kid can decide on his own future." Howard saw through it all, and he was also worried that a promising talent like Xavier would be ruined. Liesel glanced at Xavier and paused before asking, "What do you think?"Xavier was startled. He never considered all that. In the past, his biggest dream was to escape the Scotts. Even after getting away from the Scott family, Xavier faced many issues as well and didn't have the time to

    Jeffrey only officially acknowledged two daughters—Liesel and Natalie. The upper class already picked Liesel's identity apart a long time ago. Yet she was calmly informing the onlookers that she had a younger brother. Since when did she have a little brother?However, no one asked on the spot. Despite feeling suspicious of Liesel and Xavier's identities, the crowd still smiled hypocritically. Liesel must have brought up Xavier at that moment to show her support for him.Zack and Sky rushed to the party, intending to make a fuss by ruining Liesel and Xavier's reputation. Yet she acknowledged her relationship with Xavier by letting everyone know that they were siblings. Liesel had a younger brother, and his name was Xavier.Xavier stood under the light, which cast a glow on his side profile and made him seem very tall. He most likely experienced a growth spurt when he was younger, so he had a tall and frail figure. Xavier was quite handsome. Despite his gentle demeanor, he cam

    Exactly. Why did the Fords have to target Liesel?Howard was never a good person. If he were the king during the olden days, he would definitely favor ministers who flattered him instead of the decent ones. He would be driven by self-interest and only appoint those who were close to him as ministers.There was nothing Howard didn't know. Besides, Howard was on good terms with Heather and wasn't close with anyone from the crowd. They weren't even worthy when compared to Liesel. Liesel was Heather's daughter, and Liesel could even be Howard's future business partner. If Howard didn't take Liesel's side, who else would he side with?Edward's gaze remained calm. "Mr. Durham, you've spoken so bluntly. Don't you know what kind of rumors might spread among the upper class? They might end up hurting her badly.""Hurt her badly?" Howard chuckled. "I'm watching over her on behalf of my old friend, Heather. If any of these rumors start flying, I'll let those people have a taste of what it's

    Despite being insulted, Howard's expression remained unchanged. "Look at how pitiful Zack and Sky are. They're covered in injuries all over. "Why didn't you take them to the hospital for treatment? Instead, they're dressed in luxury clothes that don't belong to them so they can attend the dinner party."Howard cocked his head before adjusting his glasses. His gaze remained sharp. "Can't you tell that your father and brother are trying to ruin Liesel and Xavier's reputations?"If you did, you're being malicious by acting innocent and standing up for your father and brother. If you can't tell what's going on, then you're really stupid. Ms. Ford. May I know which one you are?" Howard did not show mercy to Ophelia.A few people at the dinner party could no longer take it. They began massaging their temples while muttering under their breaths. "No one kicked you out yet, so why are you speaking up for them? Why are you triggering him? Serve you right for being humiliated." Others b

    Edward said with a warm expression, "Aren't you being too authoritarian, Mr. Durham? Perhaps they had only come to the banquet because they had no other choice. Why don't you hear them out? I don't think you're a stone-cold person.""Oh, you Fords were the ones who brought them here."From just Edward's words, Howard had reached a conclusion.Edward was speechless. Even though Howard had said that, how was he so certain?The smile on Edward's face froze momentarily. "Mr. Durham, my father just thought that they were very pitiful, so he wanted to help them out.""Matthew is already in a wheelchair. No matter how you look at it, he's more pitiful than they are. He should help himself first," Howard said with a sneer. He was mocking them without mercy.The calm expression on Matthew's face turned rigid. "Do you know that this banquet is for the upper class as well as researchers?" Howard directed his aloof gaze toward Edward. "Which category do you think these two fall under? Do t

    Howard was confused. "What? Is he a dog? He's so quiet and boring, but if I try to initiate conversation, he doesn't like it. On the contrary, you stay silent, and your favor rating goes up. Is he stupid?"Liesel opened the screen containing the characters' personal attributes and practically shoved the phone in Howard's face.The male character's bio was displayed.There, it clearly stated that until he introduced someone into his protective circle that he considered his people, he would not open his heart to them. He also hated people who didn't have boundaries, and he also detested strangers prying into his life. He also disliked talking about work or family during rest time.However, if he was in love with the player, then it'd been a different story. He would become obsessive to the point of possessiveness and lay everything bare for her on his own accord.Howard's blabbering mouth instantly formed a circle. "Oh, I didn't have boundaries."Finally, they finished the first ph

    Howard continued his vulnerable rant. "Come, help me run through the plot. I want to see what choices you make and what ending you'll get. Damn it." He let out another string of curses."Why in the world do you think that I would be able to clear this kind of game?" Liesel really didn't want to deal with this.Howard crossed his arms while looking Liesel up and down. Then, he harrumphed. "Probably because you're the most desired romantic partner in the entire upper class of Ashthorne, Ms. Sharp."Liesel didn't want to hold that title, but she was in an alliance with Howard. It wasn't like she couldn't play a game for him.Thus, under everyone's gaze, Liesel and Howard began to play a dating simulator at a banquet thrown for the upper class.This should have been their turf where they were the most powerful, yet they were playing a trivial game.Howard's assistant, James Pund, was also dumbfounded. After a long pause, he stammered, "Mr. Durham, what about the Scotts—""Be quiet
