Chapter 272

Author: Cloud Drop
When Liesel decided to start her own company at 18 years old, the 18-year-old Chelsea had climbed into Tobey's bed in exchange for the very first investment funds for Liesel.

Liesel would never know about the price paid for those funds. Chelsea had invoked the devil that was Tobey and exchanged her body for ten million dollars in investments.

Liesel's success was built atop Chelsea's pain.

She would never know this, and Chelsea would never let her find out either.

The only reason Chelsea yielded to Tobey was for Liesel's sake.

Tobey's expression turned even colder. His gaze fell on Chelsea's face, and he said icily, "Take off your clothes."

Did he want to have sex again?

Flustered, Chelsea didn't move for a long time. Because of what happened in the car, there was a huge bruise on her lower back, so she didn't want to strip.

Tobey's face became even more frigid.

After a brief pause, Chelsea began to strip off her clothes stiffly. Even though the weather was scorching hot, she

    At last, the call ended with Tobey hanging up first and blocking Elijah's number.When Elijah heard the dial tone, he couldn't stop himself from tutting.Tobey was the one who couldn't keep his woman, so why was he venting his anger on Elijah?Whose fault was it that Chelsea still hadn't warmed up to him? Wasn't it his fault for being too perverted?If Tobey had learned a thing or two from Elijah and showed some sincerity, he might be in a real relationship now. Things certainly wouldn't keep dragging on.However, he wasn't going to get involved in the matters of Tobey's feelings.Jacob had good friends, and naturally so did Elijah. However, he didn't consider the drinking buddies he'd kept when he was laying low to be among them. In Tobey's case, Elijah had gradually grown closer to him as friends after they worked together a few times.Tobey was a naturally suspicious person who only cared about the outcome. He hated useless social interactions the most. Furthermore, his statu

    Neither Elijah nor Tobey spoke after that.Elijah could sense Tobey's suppressed anger, but he simply found it funny.Actually, he knew pretty well what kind of feelings Tobey had for Chelsea. At first, Tobey had found Chelsea was pretty and bold. He never had much morals to begin with, so why would he reject a hot babe knocking on his door?He was possessive over her, yet he never gave her a single ounce of affection. To him, Chelsea was just a pet.A secret lover would forever be hidden underground, and a pet would never become a lover.Like he said, she was a vixen. How could a vixen and a human love each other?Moreover, how could someone already used to being above everyone else lower himself to show her a moment of affection?"When she digs deeper, she'll find out that Lili doesn't need you anymore. Then, she will leave," Elijah said bluntly without any regard for Tobey's feelings.Tobey fell silent.Elijah was pleased. It gave him a sense of achievement to be able to

    Shivering, Chelsea slowly opened her eyes.When she met Tobey's dark eyes, she raised her hand to rub her eyes. Without saying anything, she just stared at him for a few seconds and then stretched.Her eagerness to flatter him yesterday was nowhere in sight now.Evidently, she was awake now. Smiling, she gave Tobey a look before snatching the showerhead from his hand and directing it at her aching body instead.She leaned against the cold wall. After changing the temperature of the water to hot, she sighed in pleasure."Chelsea, once you're done showering, get changed. We're registering our marriage."The last sentence made Chelsea freeze.The shower continued to spray her body.She didn't say anything. She merely swept her long hair to the back, revealing her smooth forehead. Her captivating face looked even more stunning beneath the water.She wasn't wearing any clothes. After doing so many intimate things with Tobey, she'd already grown used to his predatory gaze roving ove

    Tobey didn't take those lies seriously.Sneering, he scooped Chelsea into his arms. Ignoring her yelp of surprise, he carried her to the couch in the living room.Chelsea straddled Tobey's lap and said slowly, "Mr. Lark, you know I got into the Alden University School of Performing Arts. I enrolled in Alden University as a performance major at 18 years old and graduated at 22 years old. "During those years, I rejected many opportunities and advertisements just to keep you company. Many of my classmates have now become C-list or D-list actors, while I'm still completely unknown."It's time for me to venture into the industry, no?"Was Chelsea being selfish?When it came to Liesel, she could be a selfless moron. However, when it came to Tobey, she was cruel and cold-blooded. The past five years didn't give her much hope in Tobey, and her future certainly didn't have Tobey in it."So, what do you plan to do?" Tobey regarded Chelsea with a deep gaze."Pineapple Studios is opening

    "Mr. Lark, you told me that you only kept me because I resemble a certain someone… I'm not me; I'm just a shadow that stays by your side. I'm the shadow of the person you desperately want but can't have."Although Chelsea was always obedient, the one thing she never did was learn to become that person. She was intentionally reckless and wild so that Tobey would feel the difference between her and that person."I remember all those words clearly, but it seems like you've forgotten, Mr. Lark."With a sickly sweet smile hanging on her lips, she planted a kiss on Tobey's lips before hopping off his lap. She casually picked up a hairdryer and began to blow her hair dry. Then, she threw on her clothes and turned round to leave, like she had no regard for the man she'd just left on the couch.When her hand gripped the doorknob, she heard Tobey's dangerous voice. "Chelsea, if you leave me, you'll never appear on any program ever."It was a threat.If she left him, he would blacklist her.

    Tobey was the heir to the Lark family and the true head of Lark Corporation.What was there to be dissatisfied about if she were to be Tobey's wife? She would just lose the freedom that she'd always dreamed of.Compared to freedom, weren't money and power more important?She kissed the man in front of her, but her usually glittering eyes were dull and dim.…In the underground parking lot of Viewpoint, Elijah raised an eyebrow at a cool-looking SUV in front of him. It was a brand that he'd never seen before."Is this a gift for me?" he asked with a meaningful look. "I remember that Shifter Corporation just acquired a car manufacturing factory in Dinland. Is this the new brand that you plan to establish after the acquisition?"Liesel shook her head while smiling. "This is a similar model to the car that Henry had hit several times but left no damage the other night. I haven't been able to develop a better car than this yet, so I can only give this half-baked product to you for no

    Liesel's fingers deftly identified the components and began to assemble them. Her speed exceeded the other competitors, and she ended up breaking the record.In her interviews with reporters, her smile was radiant but also confident and free-spirited.She introduced herself as Liesel Sharp of Draskia. She said that this competition was just the beginning, and that she would build even faster and more solid cars. She declared that she would establish a brand that was solely hers.The video ended there.The people who'd kicked up a fuss about Liesel not knowing cars because she was a woman all fell silent. Even when some people jumped up and said that it was just a small competition, in the next second, mechatronics enthusiasts would shut the mockery down with facts."Competitions like this one are highly regarded in the world. Every prize winner has achieved great things in this industry; in fact, they have a lot to do with the luxury car brands that you're familiar with. "Not on

    Charles paused for a moment before a faint smile crept onto his face. "I'll put out the order."Neither Charles nor Jacob had to explicitly say what the order was; they both already knew.How many crashes could that car withstand? They could do an experiment to test it out now.Who said Elijah could have something that he didn't?…Elijah was grinning while reading the comments online. His gaze shifted to Liesel, who was watering the plants. Coughing dryly, he sidled up to Liesel and took the watering can from her. Before he even started watering the plants, she shot him a glare.Why was she glaring at him? He hadn't even said anything.Still, he didn't mind getting glared at. For some reason, being on the receiving end of her glower made his heart tingle."You can't water these flowers however you want. They don't like overly wet environments."He switched to a different pot. Distracted, he moved to the side."That's a cactus. It doesn't need watering."Elijah sighed quietl

    Brandon didn't respond right away. Fred continued, "No one taught your mother and sister how to act appropriately in society. Mr. Ford is spending his precious time teaching them what to do and what not to do. Thus, they will have to suffer a bit for this."Mr. Zima, if you really want to help them, then just give your parents the bare minimum financial aid from time to time. As for your sister… you have no obligation to provide for her. Do you understand where I'm coming from?"Brandon couldn't accept it. "My sister's reputation in the industry isn't great right now. If I don't help her, then she really won't be able to survive. Mr. Ford is also an older brother. He should understand what I'm going through."Jacob loved Ophelia, and Brandon also naturally loved Yvonne. It was because of this that he wanted to try getting forgiveness from Ophelia.Fred raised his voice. "Ms. Ford is very warm and never treats people haughtily. She has never used her family background to bully oth

    With a serious expression, Brandon rattled on about the various compensations for Ophelia. Fred nearly couldn't keep his facial expression under control.It seemed like everyone already knew that Ophelia was a huge fan of Chelsea's. It couldn't have been easy to think of such a compensation.The elevator arrived on the top floor, but Jacob still hadn't given his response. Therefore, Brandon hurried into his office behind Jacob and Fred. Finally, Jacob looked at him. "There is some sincerity to it."Firstly, a public apology to Ophelia on his company's Twitter account would clear her name. Secondly, the shares would be considered as financial compensation for the mental distress caused.The third form of compensation was the key point that convinced Jacob to look up. He thought that it was too difficult for Ophelia to fight for concert tickets and produce fan merchandise herself. Now that there was someone readily available to do it, Ophelia wouldn't have to work so hard.This pers

    Jacob could really be heinous.Who wanted to listen to Veronica's blabbering?Most people thought that Tobey was sly, cold, and heartless. However, they didn't know that Jacob was the one who was truly wicked.In his youth, he had once been kidnapped because one of the medicines that the Ford family manufactured had threatened to undermine the profits of others. During that time, he'd suffered through endless torment.When he was rescued, his personality had turned ruthless.Although he could be monstrous, he placed great importance on his family and friends. And, Ophelia was his beloved little sister.How could he let Yvonne off the hook for scheming against Ophelia? He had to teach Yvonne that the world could be a harsh place.Not only was Yvonne stupid, but she was also very unfortunate.At first, Jacob could still tolerate how Yvonne had used Ophelia. He had just planned to give her a small taste of her medicine and stop there. However, Veronica had decided on her own accor

    Vincent's expression turned cold. He wanted to kick her out of the house, but suddenly, Jacob's cold voice sounded from afar."Since our family is powerful and influential, why should we swallow our anger and surfer in silence?"Jacob had left a document at home, but because his assistant, Fred Foreman, didn't know where it was kept, he had to come home himself to get it. Unexpectedly, he overheard Veronica's haughty words when he returned.Well, a woman who was only pretending to be wealthy in a remote place was now acting superior in his home. Who would allow that to happen?All these years, Veronica had never been defied by someone younger than her before. Because she was much older, she considered herself superior. She didn't care if one was the heir to the family or the eldest son of the main family. At that moment, Jacob's words had made her rage boil over."Look! Look at the children that the Ford family has produced!"Jacob raised an eyebrow. He massaged the spot betwee

    Edward chuckled quietly in her ear. "Where do you want to go tomorrow, Ophelia? Should I take you on an overseas getaway? Or perhaps, we could take a stroll nearby and watch a movie.""I can't go overseas; I'm not on break yet. Let's go watch a movie," Ophelia replied. "I've only watched a movie with you as my brother. This time, I want to try watching a movie with you as my boyfriend."Although Edward was still the same person, his identity had changed.She could now touch Edward openly. She could hold his hand, hug him, and kiss him.It was… really great."Alright, get some rest today. I'll come pick you up tomorrow," Edward said.Ophelia nodded and walked him to the door. As soon as she shut the door, she pressed her hand to her chest, feeling her heart thudding rapidly from the kiss earlier.She hopped into bed and rolled from side to side.After Edward got into his car, he finally let out a loud laugh. He pressed his fingers to his lips, reminiscing about the aftertaste sh

    As their tongues intertwined, Edward could taste a sweet and sour flavor on Ophelia's tongue. It tasted like she just had a piece of strawberry candy that made her entire mouth taste sweet.Even her breath smelled like this refreshing and saccharine fruity scent. It was as if she was enticing him to take a bite of her and swallow her.The more they kissed, the more forceful Edward got. The air around them felt syrupy and intimate."Are you sure you really have never dated before? Am I really your first? If I am… then why are you so good at kissing?" she asked like it was an interrogation.She didn't know how to kiss and was very inexperienced. However, Edward had practically conquered her. He kissed her until her knees went weak.At the thought of Edward doing this to another woman, her chest began to ache terribly.Edward played with her hair, which had become messy from the kissing. "Like I said, you're all I dream about. I don't even know how many times I've kissed you in my d

    "How would you know that I also didn't have the same kind of thoughts when you secretly kissed me all those years ago?"You said that I was born in a tall tower, but I didn't get to choose my background. Meanwhile, you have climbed your way up to where I am to be with me."In ancient times, we would have been innocent and carefree childhood sweethearts. We would've been considered a match made in heaven."Edward, what I'm saying is the truth." Ophelia said each word solemnly. She stared unblinkingly at Edward as she spoke. "While you were struggling with these emotions, who said I was not struggling too?"However, I just couldn't forget you. I couldn't accept a future without you. What I wanted was to have you by my side. I wish you were my lover, and I want to be with you, Edward Ford."Her response was firm and resolute. It echoed with conviction.At the same time, she seemed to be giving her answer to the Edward who had been hiding his feelings in fear and panic for many y

    "If you're ever unhappy, you can come find me anytime. I'll always be here for you."This was Edward's promise.These were the moments when Ophelia had seen Edward smoking. Each time, it seemed to have something to do with her.She recalled the past. The way Edward always looked at her became even clearer in her mind. Back then, she might not have understood the struggle and yearning in his eyes.But now, she thought she understood.Her mind was filled with too many thoughts, and their embrace had lasted far too long.She wanted to push him away, but at that moment, he suddenly whispered in her ear, "Your first kiss wasn't him. It was me."What?Ophelia was stunned. She even thought that she'd heard wrong.When had she ever kissed Edward? How come she never knew about it?She pushed him away. Her doe eyes widened."You're lying.

    Ophelia still remembered the melancholy and confusion that she'd seen in Edward's eyes. He had looked like a young boy who couldn't find his way home.The moment Edward saw her, he stubbed out his cigarette. Holding her hand, he led the bleary-eyed Ophelia back to the bedroom.Worried that she'd catch a cold from the freezing winds, he made her a cup of hot chamomile tea. She didn't like the taste, so he had to try his hardest to coax her into drinking it.Upset, she said to him accusingly, "Edward, I feel I'm turning into a chamomile plant."Edward laughed.He was handsome. Even when he laughed, he looked attractive. Amusement bloomed on his charming and elegant face.She complimented him dazedly, "Edward, you're really good-looking."Even though she was still mad that she'd been coaxed into drinking a whole mug of chamomile tea, she still found herself lost in his handsomeness. Edward's eyes were curved from his broad grin, and he reached out to rub her head."You're very goo
