Liesel continued, "If you knew I hadn't even entered the race yet or felt confident assembling my own model when I gave you that car, would it make you feel any better? Picture this—I spent my very first bonus entirely on that car, entirely on you. So tell me, why do you still think I owe you anything?"Why didn't she give Jacob the car she had customized herself?Was it because she didn't want to?No. It was because she cared too much about him.She had worried that the car she modified back then hadn't been thoroughly tested and might have safety issues. She was overly cautious.She cared so much that the timing of giving that car kept getting delayed. Delayed until...they divorced, and she gave it to Elijah.Looking back now, maybe that was a better outcome."Everything worked out fine, didn't it? We're divorced. I gave the car I modified to the man I truly love. There's nothing wrong with that, is there?"Liesel felt bored. She had no desire to keep talking to Jacob. She lo

Liesel's gaze flicked toward Jacob, who was standing close by, and a sneer curled on her lips. "You said you're not okay with this? Well, now you understand. You don't even deserve to feel that way."Liesel turned on her heel. She was ready to leave. Her gaze swept across the room, landing on Denzel, Alex, and the others.Alex leaned lazily against the wall. He'd had a drink but hadn't overindulged. His suit jacket was slung casually over one shoulder, and his rolled-up shirt sleeves revealed his well-defined forearms.His messy bangs didn't quite hide the sharp gleam in his eyes. His lips curved in a faint smirk as his gaze flicked briefly over Liesel.They were far too familiar with each other for formalities. He merely raised a brow in acknowledgment before shifting his attention to Natalie. He let out a mocking chuckle as he did.Denzel was still dressed in his usual suit, though without the jacket. In just a simple shirt and tailored trousers, he exuded a clean and composed d

Charles was nothing if not calculating.Liesel hadn't outright said she didn't want to attend the dinner, but Charles' remark had been a dig at Elijah and his crew for stepping in and declining on her behalf.And, of course, there was a second layer to his comment. If Liesel did end up helping Jacob home—or if anything else happened—it would be entirely her decision. Nothing to do with them.It was a masterclass in veiled barbs.Everyone present was sharp enough to catch the subtext. In fact, the whole scene was dripping with tension.This wasn't just any random group of people. Each of them was a heavy hitter in their respective circles. If any one of them made headlines, the ripple effects would be felt throughout the financial world.On most days, even the grandest events couldn't gather this crowd. Yet tonight, they all happened to show up at Heritage Hotel.From afar, some had already noticed the two groups were halfway between a standoff and a casual chat. The only thing a

Drew and Tobey's assistant, Kellan Valencia, were both speechless.During the Woolhope negotiations, Drew had represented Ford Corporation, while Kellan was there for Lark Corporation.In the end, the two sides tore each other apart so badly that a small foreign startup swooped in and stole the deal. What should've been a promising collaboration ended in disaster, with a third party reaping all the benefits.This incident barely made waves domestically, and few knew about it.Drew and Kellan turned into sworn enemies because of that negotiation, each blaming the other entirely.How could they be a team? There was zero chemistry!"Charles, you and Brodie must share some kind of cosmic bond, don't you think? You two should reminisce about last year's bid for the Crullfeld land," Liesel continued."After all, you fought tooth and nail, prepared all those project proposals, only for the whole thing to get shut down because of a historic artifact discovery. I mean, how often does tha

"Elijah once splurged a fortune on a famous star, spending over a million on a single dress.""Yeah, and don't forget how he pursued twin sisters at the same time!"The crowd wasn't holding back, gleefully spilling every last detail of Elijah's past escapades. No one seemed interested in leaving him with a shred of dignity.Elijah's lips twitched involuntarily as he found himself at the center of everyone's roasting session.Liesel, however, maintained her bright, unbothered smile. She listened to the gossip about Elijah purely for amusement. She didn't take it to heart at all. She even clapped her hands cheerfully."See? Everyone's so in sync when it comes to Elijah. That's even more reason to have dinner together. You all clearly have plenty to talk about!"The crowd was at a loss for words.Who on earth would have anything to talk about with that lunatic?They didn't dare say it out loud, though. In the end, the whole group ended up crammed into the same private room.This

With a strained chuckle, Brodie responded, "Well then, I wish you the same kind of good luck as today."Meanwhile, Drew and Kellan were slightly better. Though they didn't meet each other's gaze, at least there wasn't any biting hostility. It was just a normal conversation between two people."Is Ms. Sharp really this terrifying when she goes off?" Kellan, who hadn't had any direct dealings with Liesel, genuinely didn't know her well, which was why he asked such a naive question.Drew pinched the bridge of his nose in exasperation."The Iron Triangle of Ford Corporation is also known as LCD—Liesel, Charles, and me. Do you think the order is based on age or capability? Oh no, it's ranked by how insane we are."Drew's lips twitched with a dry smile."Lili outranks Charles. This is Charles we're talking about. That scheming, smirking fox with those sinister eyes. The man who could flood Ashthorne with his dark schemes. He's basically a schemer of the same level as Brodie. And Lili's

Elijah let out a chuckle as he tightened his grip on her hand. Their fingers intertwined. "I was worried my future lover might get jealous, so I made sure to get all the documents ready. I'll show them to you as soon as we get back. I promise. I won't hide anything from you.""So, why didn't you show me the documents from the start?" Liesel's voice was still soft, and she was smiling faintly.Elijah raised an eyebrow. "Do you know what's going through my head right now? You're asking me this because you care about me, right?"If this had been before, Liesel wouldn't have even bothered asking.Her brow twitched slightly. For a moment, she just didn't feel like dealing with him.…The dinner didn't wrap up early. Most of the people there didn't have much in common, and practically everyone seated together were sworn enemies. They were ready to throw jabs at each other the moment they opened their mouths.By the time the dinner finally ended, Jimmy sighed in relief. Sitting next to

Elijah chuckled and cleared his throat. "Yeah, it really does look like that."Even now, Liesel couldn't resist throwing a little jab at Charles and Brodie. Her sense of revenge was really strong.The last few curious onlookers had already left. Liesel stood there, and her gaze never once fell on Jacob. She completely ignored him from the beginning.However, Jacob's eyes stayed fixed on her. As he watched her trying her best to keep her distance, his eyes burned. He clenched his fists.If he really wanted to, he could step forward in front of everyone and reach out to grab her hand again.But he didn't. His eyes were full of pain as he silently watched her walk farther and farther away from him.His throat ached, but his eyes never left her.When Liesel and Elijah finally left, Jacob looked down. His dark eyes glinted with coldness.Denzel wanted to say something, but the words stuck in his throat.Who was to blame for how things had turned out between Liesel and Jacob?Denze

"Looks like Jeffrey thinks way too highly of himself. He really thought he was Heather's husband. No wonder he's got such a grudge against Xavier. What a joke! Doesn't he ever look in the mirror and wonder if he's even worthy of Heather's affection?"These were the mocking comments from people in the circle who had seen Heather before.Some younger folks, not understanding why Heather could stir such a huge uproar in the network, asked, "What makes Heather so special?"Before they even knew it, an old photo from a decade ago surfaced.It was a black-and-white picture. But the moment anyone looked at it, their eyes would be drawn to the person in the center, as if her presence alone illuminated the entire space.She wore a simple black evening dress, but she shone like the brightest star in the night sky. The dress perfectly hugged her graceful figure, and her face was like something out of a masterful painting. Her beauty was unforgettable.Her eyebrows were like strokes of art,

The Heather Mallone Jeffrey had married was actually someone with the same name. In other words, everyone had been played by Heather.From the beginning to the end, there had never been a real marriage between Heather and Jeffrey. She only used him for her own benefit.The post showed a wedding photo and certificate of marriage between Jeffrey and another woman named Heather Mallone.The foreign company offered a brief explanation, but it was obvious what they meant.It was nothing more than a warning to certain people that Xavier and Liesel were not Jeffrey's children. They were Heather's bloodline and had no connection to the Sharp family.Jeffrey's infidelity was true as well. He had an affair with Natalie's mother, Angeline Herrera, during his marriage to the other Heather. And that was how Natalie came into the picture.Jeffrey was the only one who had cheated.Natalie felt a wave of dizziness.How could this be? How could this happen? Why would Heather do this?Heather's

Jeffrey had a heart attack at home out of sheer anger. After he took his medication and regained consciousness, the first thing he did was point at Natalie and accuse her."Why did you say that? You better explain yourself! It was your mom who seduced me! Heather had nothing to do with this!" he spat.Natalie merely shoved him aside and scoffed coldly."Even now, you're still worried about Heather's reputation? You're so blinded by love for her that you can't see she doesn't care about you at all! My mom may have had designs on you, but if it wasn't for Heather's scheming, you two would never have ended up in bed together!""That still doesn't—"Natalie shoved her phone in front of Jeffrey. "Take a good look. It's Xavier being attacked right now, not your precious Heather!"Hearing those words, Jeffrey finally fell silent.As her gaze fixed on him, she clenched her teeth tightly in frustration. Her anger bubbled over, and once again, she hired online trolls to flood the internet

The internet buzzed with outrage and intrigue."Heather is Liesel's mother. Heather Mallone is the woman who first proposed the research into 3D holography at Draskia. She was the one who had her notebook sold for an insane price recently and had won design awards abroad."The daughter of the Mallone family, raised as the heiress, could never be a weakling. I didn't believe for a second she was ever humiliated into suicide!"Another netizen commented, "Exactly! That's Heather we're talking about! Who would dare betray a woman like her? Do you know how ruthless she was in the business world? She could destroy your company with a single word! Liesel may seem harsh, but compared to Heather, Liesel is soft-hearted!""Who does Jeffrey think he is to betray Heather? If he tried, she'd castrate him in a heartbeat. I totally believe this!"This was related to the Sharp family, and those who had been paying attention to it were all from high society. The scandal had dragged too many people

Natalie continued, "He just didn't want to raise a child who isn't his own flesh and blood. Is that a crime? Years ago, Zack was an upstanding teacher. Who could've predicted he'd later become a gambling addict? Who would've known that he'd do those despicable things?"My dad tried his best to find Xavier a better place. He's already done more than enough. It's unreasonable to expect him to keep caring for the disgrace left behind by his deceased wife for over a decade. Show me a man who would do that.""The ones in the wrong are the Scotts, not my dad!"The reporters were stunned.Nobody had expected this. How did Heather get involved?"H-Heather wouldn't do something like that. From what I heard, Xavier was born after Heather and Jeffrey divorced. Besides, Jeffrey cheated on Heather. Otherwise, how do you explain your existence as a love child?"Some reporters, who were fans of Heather, turned their cameras on Natalie. They challenged her accusations with fierce determination.

Jeffrey's lips were dry, and fear was evident in his eyes. "No... I can't... I can't do that... They can't insult Heather..."Despite everything, he still refused to utter a single word against Heather.Natalie trembled with rage."You're the evil one all this time, and now you're pretending to be romantic? You love Heather, but did she love you? She betrayed you a long time ago! She never loved you!"She tried to frame you! Isn't that what you said? If it weren't for her plot, you wouldn't have ended up in bed with my mom, and I wouldn't even exist! Heather's the truly vile and malicious one! She ruined all our lives! She's the real sinner!"It was all Heather's fault.If not for Heather, her mother wouldn't have become a mistress, and she wouldn't have been an illegitimate child. It was all because of Heather that she could never hold her head high in life."Shut up! Don't talk about her like that!"Jeffrey's face twisted in fury as he slapped Natalie hard across the face. "S

Liesel noticed that Austin and Alisha grew closer, and her interest in Austin reignited. She visited the cafeteria almost every day to observe Austin's every move.It was only during meals that Howard's researchers were able to leave their labs and meet with employees from the research department.The cafeteria became a place for Austin and Alisha's dates.Alisha seemed to have broken up with her boyfriend. For a while, she appeared very downcast. Austin made efforts at the table to lighten the mood. He would tell jokes and share stories and amusing anecdotes from work to help Alisha move past the darkness.The two grew closer, often appearing together.But in just half a month, they drifted apart. When they met, they didn't greet each other. They merely walked past each other as if they were strangers.Had they fallen out?Liesel didn't think the answer she saw was the full truth. The more they tried to avoid suspicion, the deeper their relationship might have been behind close

Alisha's crying suddenly stopped.Since she was working at the research institute, her intelligence was not in question. She had probably always known her boyfriend didn't truly care about her.Perhaps she had even wanted to escape this unhealthy relationship. But under the mental control over time, she had lost the ability to resist.Austin's appearance was an opportunity for a way out."I-I'll sell you the tickets." Alisha's voice was choked, but her tone had calmed.Upon hearing that, her boyfriend had lost all reason. He shouted and cursed, making a fool of himself. "You bitch! Those are my tickets! How dare you sell them? How could you date a boy toy behind my back? Are you crazy?""Shut up! I'm going to talk to Ms. Olsen about the concert. Please don't bother us." Austin seemed to have taken the phone from Alisha and ended the video call."Stop crying. Let me take you to wash your face. He doesn't deserve you…"The door opened with a slight creak, and the soft comforting

The man's voice grew even more impatient. "Then what's the point of going?""But I've bought the tickets. Each one cost over a hundred dollars," the woman murmured."My friends want to go. Give me the tickets. I'll have them go instead.""Can't we go?""The back row is too far. Can I even hear anything from there? Get someone to deliver the tickets to me now!" The man's tone was full of commands."How about I find a scalper? They should have VIP tickets," the woman suggested reluctantly. She opened her contact list to search for someone.The video call continued.At the top of the stairs, around the corner, Thomas took out his phone and began texting Liesel. "This woman is being manipulated. If her boyfriend gets the tickets, he'll surely take another woman to the concert."Liesel nodded."Should we help her?" Thomas asked.They exchanged glances. Liesel hesitated. As a woman, of course, she wanted to help prevent this fiasco, but intervening in someone else's personal matter
