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

It was Jimmy Walker, the second son of the Walker family. Since he had an elder brother to inherit the family business, Jimmy was well-known for being playful and mischievous. However, he had in-depth conversations and collaborations with Elijah and Tobey. Despite being a calculative man, Jimmy didn't have much interest in the family business.However, Jimmy usually spoke without a filter. Elijah was also worried that Jimmy might spout nonsense and say a few things that weren't suited to be blasted on speaker. Hence, Elijah sighed before saying, "I'll go and take this call."Liesel didn't stop him. Although they were already lovers, they still had to give each other some personal space. "It's true! I keep thinking that the sky has collapsed. Perhaps the end of the world is nearing as well. I can't keep this a secret anymore. "Eli, do you know what Tobey did? He registered for marriage! He married that little canary we're friends with! He's crazy, right?"I imagined you would

Albert didn't have an old-fashioned mindset. He hadn't asked anyone from the Walker family to pursue Liesel back then because the news of her and Jacob's divorce hadn't gotten out yet. Who knew that Elijah would get to Liesel first? At that point, there was nothing else Jimmy could say. Although it was rather frustrating, Jimmy could only keep these thoughts to himself."That was a call from my friend. Do you want to meet my friends sometime?" Elijah did not hesitate to explain his connection with the Walker family. Of course, Liesel had no objection. She smiled at him with a nod. "Just let me know the time and place."Elijah cleared his throat lightly after hearing her agree. "But you might have to meet Tobey," he intentionally said. Liesel's eyes twitched. Tobey? He was the same man who initially invested in Shifter Corporation.To her, Tobey was a hypocritical and dangerous man. Although he truly did make an investment, he was also rather malicious.Although Tobey invest

Liesel knew how superficial some men could be. How did the saying go? A man's image was his wife's pride.Although Liesel and Elijah weren't married yet, he already toned down his behavior in public for her. Hence, she also wanted to do something in return for him. He already played along with the "rich man and young celebrity" scenario. Humoring him wasn't a bad idea either.Hence, Liesel intentionally put on delicate makeup and wore a formal dress. She was dressed in such a stunning manner that it was as if she was about to step on the red carpet in the next second.Elijah's possessiveness suddenly struck. He couldn't help but say, "I still prefer the simple and elegant side of you."That was complete nonsense. He liked any side of Liesel. He was just jealous that she had dressed up to meet his friends. He didn't actually prefer Liesel being simple and elegant.To put things bluntly, Elijah liked Liesel's prideful gaze, which made it seem as if others were beneath her. "Oh

After fastening the seatbelt, Elijah chuckled a few times from the side as if he were laughing at Liesel. She raised an eyebrow. "Are you laughing at me?""No." Although Elijah denied it, his gaze said otherwise. Although he already fastened the seatbelt for her, he did not move away. The right hand on the safety belt suddenly moved to her waist.The waist was a sensitive spot for Liesel, which Elijah rarely touched. This time, she did not move away and was merely startled by the warmth of his palm.Liesel's hair was pushed to the back, and her face was revealed. Anyone who got close to her would know how delicate and youthful her features were. Even her skin was flawless. Her cheeks were slightly pink yet cool from the wind.She was quietly trapped in Elijah's embrace without any resistance, seeming rather obedient. For a moment, he felt as if time had stopped in that peaceful moment.Elijah slowly bent his head and pressed his mouth gently against her soft lips. Liesel did n

"Do you even need to drive anymore? Haven't we arrived?" Liesel realized that she and Elijah had arrived at Heritage Hotel."Don't worry. We're just here to eat." Elijah parked the car. He finally let go of her hand so he could take out the car key. "Why would I be nervous?" That was unnecessary, and Elijah thought so as well. Liesel had been to many events, so there was no reason for her to be anxious about a small gathering. Elijah held her wrist and wanted to lead her out of the car.Liesel paused for a moment while staring at Elijah's face. She took out a packet of tissue from her bag and fished out one sheet before handing it to him. She said awkwardly, "You still have some lipstick on your lips. You should wipe it off before going inside."Although she wasn't wearing makeup, she had applied some lipstick. Their kissing earlier had left traces of her lipstick all over his lips.Elijah gazed at the tissue in Liesel's hand before looking at her. He didn't accept the tissue

The attendant couldn't help but look at Liesel. She was quite different while next to Jacob. She usually put on rather elaborate makeup when she was with him, making her seem rather unapproachable. However, the current Liesel was somewhat gentle and calm and did not seem aloof at all. There was no way she could have faked her elegance. One could only say that she had such natural beauty. The attendant went into a daze just by looking at Liesel. He then accidentally noticed Elijah's disdainful expression. His dark eyes were as cold as ice. The attendant came to his senses instantly and dared not to look at Liesel any longer. He looked downward and said respectfully, "Mr. Hardin. Ms. Sharp. This way, please."He led them to the private room Elijah usually booked. The attendant knocked twice on the door as a signal before pushing the door open. Once Elijah led Liesel inside, the attendant shut the door.Elijah and Liesel stood in front of the door and did not walk inside further.

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. E-except just now, we've never kissed before!""The night before I left the country, you held onto my shirt and refused to let me leave. After you

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
