"Will Ms. Ford really ever be protective of me? I think she hates me," Natalie said timidly. Her voice was choked up.Liesel did not continue eavesdropping. She closed the door, ignoring the both of them.As soon as the door closed, Natalie sat down on the armrest of Jacob's chair. Her fingers fiddled with the collar of his shirt as she asked timidly, "Jake, can I attend the Homecoming Day Ms. Ford mentioned as well? I'm an alumni of Alden University too, and I haven't been back to visit the campus for quite some time."She pressed her face close to Jacob's. "Plus, I don't want you to go with Liesel. That makes it look like you two are a couple. I don't like it."Her voice was soft and coquettish. She sounded like she was fully dependent on Jacob.Jacob ruffled her hair and changed the subject. "The Royale Restaurant's new menu has some desserts that you like. I'll take you there to try them."Natalie clung to Jacob's arm while gently swaying. "Will you bring me to Alden's Home

"It's me." Ophelia looked at Natalie coldly with a haughty attitude. Natalie put down her fork and straightened her back. She smiled kindly. "Fancy meeting you here, Ms. Ford.""It wasn't a coincidence," Ophelia smiled coldly. "I'm here to talk to you."Natalie was surprised. She didn't say anything, as she didn't know why Ophelia wanted to talk to her."I just wanted to see what kind of woman would follow in her mother's footsteps and knowingly be a homewrecker by ruining a perfectly good marriage," Ophelia said scathingly. Her smile had dropped.Natalie's smile remained, but she was also staring at Ophelia consideringly.Ophelia dressed lavishly, which fit her role as the daughter of the Ford family.From the way she dressed to the way she carried herself, she looked like the emblem of a socialite.Before Natalie could say anything, Ophelia plowed on. "I want to talk to you so that I can check you out properly. You're not much, aren't you? I don't know what Jacob sees in you

Natalie stumbled out of the Royale Restaurant. Outside, the cold wind chilled her.Her hair and clothes were wet. The wet fabric clung to her skin, making her shiver as the wind swept over her.Natalie hurried over to the curb. She wanted to call a cab.Head lowered, she did not dare to look at anyone, so she ran straight into a firm chest."Natalie?"Hearing her name, Natalie looked up and saw Jacob's frowning face.Apart from his scowl, there was no discernible expression on his face. He towered over her and was blocking the harsh wind.Standing in front of her, with his arms supporting her, Jacob felt safe and sturdy.The warmth from his hands transferred to her skin.Natalie's tears suddenly began flowing as she looked up at Jacob.She couldn't bring herself to say anything. All she could do was cry.Jacob paused for a moment before saying, "Let's get you into the car."Natalie got into Jacob's car. She noticed that he'd really gotten a new car. He wasn't driving Liesel

Liesel’s voice was nonchalant. She wasn't scared of him at all.The look she gave Jacob was also blank and impassive.She pushed down the pang in her heart forcefully.How could she not be upset?They'd been married for three years. Jacob knew exactly what kind of person she was.She'd never bothered with such despicable tactics. However, it seemed like that was what Jacob thought of her.What a joke.Jacob's expression was cold. He clearly did not feel anything for her anymore. "You're close with Ophelia. She did that to Natalie because of you."Liesel poked at the strawberry on her plate. It had almost been reduced to a mash. "Have you considered the fact that maybe Ophelia just doesn't like cheaters and illegitimate children?"Liesel's gaze was firm and steadfast."Ophelia hates them because her best friend in school committed suicide because of her stepmother and her stepmother's daughter."You should know why she hates them. You can't blame me for this." "Then why are

Liesel laughed. "Then again, you did the same thing too."For Natalie, you made me leave the secretary department and told me to be the manager of the project department."The victim should be the one to avoid the abuser. The victim should forgive the abuser, and should not take revenge on them…"As she spoke, her smile widened. "Do you hear how ridiculous you sound right now, Mr. Ford?"Jacob stared at her silently.Liesel did not continue to press on. She laughed again and poured herself a glass of water to wash down the sweetness of the dessert.There was sweetness on her tongue, but bitterness in her heart."I'm sorry. I misjudged you. I see now that Ophelia had acted on her own accord today," he said. His voice softened.Seeing that he was about to leave, Liesel put down her glass on the table with a loud thud. "Wait. Don't confront Ophelia," she said. Jacob turned. "Don't make her relive her trauma."Ophelia had been traumatized by the suicide of her best friend, which

Jacob told Drew to park the car. Then, he led Liesel into the food market.There were plenty of food stalls lining the street in the market. Due to its proximity to Alden University, the stalls were mostly clean and hygienic, and they sold a wide variety of food.The street was narrow and crowded.Jacob was dressed in an expensive suit. Combined with his cold expression and tall stature, he stood out amongst the crowd at the food market.Liesel stood behind him. She was slender and graceful, and her beautiful face was striking. The people around them couldn't help but stare.Thankfully, Jacob and Liesel were perceived to be a couple, so no one came up to them to ask for their contact information, which was fine with them.Meanwhile, Drew was bombarded by young women asking for his number as soon as he parked the car and entered the food market. There were even some men who did the same.Even though he had seen quite a lot in his life, at that moment, he had the urge to run away.

Liesel Sharp had just unlocked her phone while waiting for her IV drip to be done when she received a message from her best friend, Chelsea Walden. "Jacob's back."She faltered. She and Jacob Ford had barely spoken throughout their month-long cold war, so she had no idea he was back.Soon, she received another message. "He's brought a young woman back with him."A photo had been sent with the message. The young woman in the photo resembled Liesel a little—she was Natalie Sharp, Liesel's younger half-sister. She'd been raised in the countryside.Chelsea continued, "The Sharp family is throwing them a welcome-back party. Do you want to crash it, Lili?"She knew what Liesel was like. Liesel would give Jacob a taste of his own medicine if he dared to do anything to her. There was even a chance she would set the Sharp residence on fire.Liesel checked her IV bag. She'd had a high fever for three days now, and the back of her hand was swollen from the constant IV drips she'd been on. S

Liesel had taken a week of sick leave. She'd only learned about the transfer when returning to work.A colleague gossiped with her, sounding pointed as they said, "I bet you still don't know this, Ms. Sharp. We have a new secretary whose last name is also Sharp. It looks like there's something special about her."Liesel didn't expect to hear that. Had Jacob actually given Natalie a job by his side?Soon, Jacob summoned Liesel to the CEO's office. When she entered and stood before him, he looked at her indifferently. "Since you want to stay at the company, continuing to hold the position of my personal secretary isn't appropriate."The project department manager was transferred to a branch company, leaving a vacancy there. The timing is just right."Liesel knew very well that Jacob had always been clear-headed. He would never allow her to cause Natalie any discomfort or disappointment. Rather than saying the transfer was his recognition of Liesel's abilities, it would be more accur
