Liesel said nothing. She didn't want to push all the blame on Elijah. After all, Elijah was the most innocent one in this situation.

"I just can't accept reality. We were so excited to meet our baby. I was even thinking about how we'd make handicrafts and watch his favorite cartoons together. I was looking forward to being by his side as he slowly transitioned to adulthood. I wanted to give him everything, but…"

The grief overcame her once again, and she couldn't stop herself from tearing up.

"Lili, don't try to run from this. You have to accept what happened," Elijah said. His gaze was warm but firm. "We never wanted this to happen. You already did everything you could, but it's not fated to be. It's neither my fault nor yours; it's the fault of the accident.

"He hasn't arrived in this world yet, so he gets a chance to choose differently. Perhaps he'll be reincarnated into a better family and live a better life.

"While he was inside your belly, he was always a good boy. Therefore

    "Be good and get some rest."Liesel hummed in agreement, but her eyes kept tracking Elijah's movements.Elijah sat down by her bed and squeezed her fingers which were still slightly cold. "I'm not going anywhere. I'll be right here with you."Liesel continued to stare at him without saying a word."I really am not going anywhere. In the future, no matter where I go, I'll make sure to bring you along, Lili."Only then did Liesel close her eyes to rest.Drew, who had never left the room, saw everything. His heart clenched.In public, Liesel always appeared decisive and efficient. When she was with Jacob, she'd been nothing but elegant and considerate.In his mind, she had always been perfect.But today, he finally realized that she actually wasn't perfect. She also got hurt and upset, and she also felt fear. This version of her was actually closer to her true self.The Liesel from the past seemed to be shrouded in a deceptive veil now. The Liesel that he was looking at now was

    "Liesel, are you crazy?" Drew asked. His voice was laced with anger.Liesel regarded him calmly. "This is my business. It has nothing to do with you."With that, she wiped the blood off her arm.With the door shut, the hospital room was pin-drop silent. She could hear the faint rush of the blood in her ears. It felt like the blood was about to surge through her skin and destroy her.Leaning against the wall for support, she shakily got to her feet. Her head swam.Even though she couldn't even stand without swaying, she still pushed Drew's hand away. She opened the door slightly, hoping to hear what was being discussed outside.Elijah had flown abroad for a partnership project for the financial summit, but as soon as he landed, he'd caught the next flight home because of what happened to Liesel. The potential business partner had most likely never even seen him.Foreigners placed high importance on keeping promises. No matter what happened, one had to hold up their end of a promi

    Elijah was quiet for a moment. Finally, he signed and handed the phone to Liesel.Liesel dialed Alyssa's number. Alyssa's assistant, John Welkin, picked up instead. Clearly, Alyssa had no interest in talking to Elijah anymore.John had planned to brush Elijah off with a few perfunctory words, but when he realized it was Liesel, he was stunned."It's Ms Sharp!"With just that one sentence, John managed to summon Alyssa over."Ms. Sharp? Oh my God, is it really you? Why are you calling me with Mr. Hardin's phone?" Alyssa grabbed the phone back in surprise. "Ms. Sharp, why do you sound so worn out? Did something happen? Do you need me to send a doctor? You don't sound well."In stark contrast to the cold and mocking attitude she gave Elijah, Alyssa showed Liesel nothing but warmth and gentleness.It wasn't just because Liesel's face was a sight for sore eyes, but her Shifter Corporation had also raked in a lot of profits for Alyssa. Basically, any partnership with Liesel was bound

    Elijah couldn't bear to see Liesel hurt. He couldn't bear to see Liesel not taking care of her body.He really just… cared so much about her."Actually, it doesn't hurt that much." The pain in Liesel's abdomen overpowered the pain from everywhere else. She raised an eyebrow, smiling faintly. "I just wanted to help you."Elijah knew that no matter what he said now, Liesel wasn't going to listen. This was just the way their personalities were."I'm going to ask Denzel to prepare a wheelchair for you. For now, you should sit in a wheelchair when we go out."Liesel sighed faintly. "Am I going to the financial summit in a wheelchair? That's kind of embarrassing.""Lili, you're gorgeous. How could you be embarrassing?" Elijah ruffled her hair. "Even if my Lili is unwell, she's still the prettiest Sickly Beauty."When it came to her, he was never stingy with compliments.Liesel forced a smile. Elijah knew that Liesel was still feeling guilty because of the baby. There wasn't anything

    A dangerous look flashed in Elijah's eyes. Amidst the danger, there was blatant ridicule."Yes, the baby was mine." He sneered. Then, catching Jacob off-guard, he smashed his fist into Jacob's face.He moved swiftly and ruthlessly, showing no mercy. He only stopped when he saw purple and green bruises bloom on Jacob's face."Jacob, you're not wrong. The baby belonged to me and Liesel. By hurting them, you've chosen to antagonize Hardin Group." Retracting his fists, Elijah stood up. He stared down at Jacob, a bone-chilling iceness radiating from his gaze. "After this partnership ends, Hardin Group will never work with Ford Corporation again." This time, he still chose Liesel over profits.This wasn't a decision that he had to ruminate over. It was really because Liesel had been hurt by Jacob that he wanted to cut the alliance between Hardin Group and Ford Corporation.At that moment, he wasn't thinking about how Shifter Corporation was backing Liesel. He wasn't thinking about p

    Jacob had never been more aware that Liesel hated him and loved Elijah.His woman had ultimately become Elijah's lover, and he'd been the one who sent her straight to him.He was the one at fault.Jacob's gaze grew darker. He stood up, and his gaze fell on the surveillance system. He saw that Liesel was already awake and reading some documents. Her side profile was still so delicate and pretty. Her sickness couldn't stifle her charm.He couldn't stop himself from reaching out to touch her face, but his fingers only came into contact with the cold digital screen. He couldn't feel her soft and warm skin.Elijah walked into the room, and Jacob saw a smile bloom on Liesel's originally calm face. She grinned cheerfully at Elijah, waving the proposal in her hand.The past Liesel had never treated him so intimately before.Jacob's gaze was ice cold. As he watched Elijah lean down to kiss her forehead, he slowly clenched his fists.They had betrayed him. They had conceived that child

    Denzel fell silent.He was clever enough to guess that Liesel must have lied to Jacob to provoke him.Liesel must not want Jacob to know that it was their baby. She must not want Jacob to continue to bother her, and she must not want anything else binding them together. Therefore, she'd made the decision to bluff Jacob that it was Elijah's child.Since it was Liesel's choice, he had no right to get involved.Denzel sighed heavily. "If you let her go, you would also be letting yourself go."Jacob's gaze darkened, and a snide laugh escaped his throat.Denzel knew that it would be futile to try to talk sense into Jacob, so he didn't bother.Before he left, he saw the danger lurking in Jacob's dark eyes. He couldn't help but feel worried for Liesel.He felt like Jacob had changed too much. He didn't know what kind of crazy things Jacob would be capable of.All he could do was pray that Jacob still held onto a shred of his rational side.…Elijah was in the middle of discussing t

    The other faction, the conservatives, insisted on waiting for Jason to wake up.However, those researchers were protected by the government. Without Jason, they had no real way to communicate with these researchers.They were close to backing down.That was when Heather hacked into the surveillance system. She knew those lunatics had drawn blood from Jason, and some even went so far as to drink it, all in the name of boosting their intelligence.They were insane."When I took Jay, they'd already drawn a thousand milliliters of blood from him. How cruel can you be? You were just hoping he'd die for the sake of your research. If I hadn't taken Jay, he would've been dead. And now you have the nerve to lecture me, accusing me of committing a crime?""If that's the case, haven't those researchers and everyone who was involved in this all violated the law? Can't I sue them, too?"Heather scoffed. "Don't force me to change my nationality and take this to the international courts. If it

    Liesel was not someone who could be defeated easily.She was dangerous and powerful. Even in the pursuit of love, she never truly gave up on her own goals. She might feel pain from betrayal, but the next moment, she would rise again.No one could truly bring her down. She would always love herself.If someone tried to make her a pawn, she would destroy the entire game. She would always be the one in control, manipulating the game, never the one being manipulated.Not by Matthew, and certainly not by Heather.The hall was silent. All eyes were on the confrontation between mother and daughter. Everyone expected Heather, with her vast experience, to completely overpower Liesel. But that wasn't the case. Liesel not only stood firm, but she seemed to be gaining the upper hand.Nathan's gaze darkened as he observed Liesel. A monster had given birth to another monster.Meanwhile, Heather could see a line of high-ranking individuals standing behind Liesel on the screen. They were all th

    Heather remained unnervingly calm, as if the life at stake was nothing more than a figurine to her."You're terrifying," Liesel said as she looked at Heather. "Actually, there's no real connection between us. My mom died more than a decade ago. She was driven to cut her wrists due to my dad's actions."She wasn't some strong, dangerous woman who could scare people in the business world. She was a weak, pitiful woman who couldn't protect her children. She was so powerless and incapable that she was driven to her death. My mom is long gone."Liesel spoke slowly. Each word was clear enough for Heather to understand.But Heather didn't grow angry. She simply smiled and spoke in a calm, almost soothing tone, "I gave birth to you, Liesel. Your exceptional genes come from me. That's an irrefutable fact. Whether I'm alive or dead, you will always be Heather Mallone's daughter."Her words wrapped around Liesel like an unbreakable chain. Yes, she would always be Heather's daughter.It was

    Heather could do everything and overthrow anything for Jason. Liesel was able to do the same for Elijah. Any man who had their love could obtain everything.Liesel was doing her best to ignore Elijah's legs. She forced herself to not look at his crippled legs. "I'll settle the score with you over a few things once we're home." Liesel glanced at Elijah with a gentle gaze. He sighed helplessly. "I'm already like this."Liesel merely held his fingertips before slowly getting to her feet. Since Elijah was behind her, she stood up as if she wanted to block Elijah from view. "Ms. Mallone, long time no see." Everyone knew that Liesel was drop-dead gorgeous. However, it was Heather's first time officially meeting the adult Liesel via video call. Liesel was far similar to who Heather used to be. Although they had different demeanors, Liesel could be considered an exact copy of Heather. Despite her gentle appearance, Heather gave off a venomous demeanor. But Liesel was different. S

    "Liesel has all this because of me." Heather beamed. "So, I was the one who created her. What gave you the right to ask me to remain in the shadows?"You want the creator to step aside for a figurine souvenir? Have you heard of such a thing?" Heather did not refer to herself as Liesel's mother. She referred to their relationship as a creator and her figurine souvenir. She clearly did not love Liesel.Elijah's gaze grew colder. Meanwhile, everyone present was shocked at Heather's words. Before Elijah could respond at all, someone already pushed open the door to the Turner residence's living room. Since the sound was quite loud, everyone turned to look. Instead, they saw Liesel, who truly resembled Heather. After Liesel pushed open the door, two tall, handsome men followed her inside. One man had short black hair, seeming gentle and refined. The other had long silver hair with a rugged appearance. They stood beside her as if they were her bodyguards. Behind the trio were numero

    Heather truly lived up to her name. She was always keeping an eye on the Turners in Ashthorne. Otherwise, how would she coincidentally pop up in a video chat as soon as Elijah's fingertips brushed against the keyboard? The Turner family's internet had firewalls, but Heather had easily breached them. That alone was enough for anyone to understand what was so terrifying about her. Nathan stared at the screen with a darkened gaze, meeting Heather's delighted gaze. "Mr. Turner Senior, it's been a long time."Nathan's eyes clouded over. "It indeed has been a long time. Heather, what is the purpose of doing all this?"Heather smirked leisurely. "I thought you'd be happy to see me alive. Are you really unable to guess why? Seems like you've truly aged."Was Nathan unable to guess what she was up to? Of course, he could. As long as Jason was still alive, Heather would continue living. There was only one possibility for Heather to show up now. Jason was about to recover."Mr. Turner S

    But Heather did not take Liesel and Xavier with her and left them behind instead. She even left Liesel with a nightmare she set up. Heather implied to Liesel that she was forced to commit suicide and wanted her to raise Xavier. She also wanted Liesel to snatch everything that belonged to the Mallones. Aside from nightmares, what else did Heather even leave for Liesel? That faint motherly love? Did Heather ever truly love Liesel?Heather invested all her love in Jason. She was a qualified lover, but she would never be a certified mother. That was why Liesel guessed Heather could be still alive. But even if that was true, Heather was truly dead to Liesel.At that moment, Elijah even used his darkest side to understand Heather. She might have shown up now because she would be returning to Draskia soon.Heather didn't just lend a hand now because the Turners were powerful. It was possible she wanted to present herself favorably to Liesel. Heather simply wanted Liesel to know tha

    "If Heather were dead, we might be able to help you do something about Elijah. But since she's still alive, do you really want us to retaliate against her and Liesel?" Nathan's bleary gaze was filled with clear disdain. "Belinda, are you even worth it?" Belinda faltered. "But… But we Turners have always been on the good side. We haven't done anything bad.""Is that so?" Nathan asked flatly. "If we Turners don't have any skeletons in the closet, why is Elijah at our place? Liesel should have already taken him back by now."Belinda had no idea how to retort. "No one is truly innocent. What you consider clean is what others want you to see. You can even resort to kidnapping someone. Do you really think we're innocent?" Nathan's voice became more frail. "If Jason was still around, Heather would definitely protect the Turner family and never consider us enemies. But since he's not here and you're bullying her daughter and future son-in-law, she will destroy you and our family."It

    Belinda finally came across Heather's best achievements. Almost 20 local and multinational businesses in Draskia wanted to take over the Mallone family's business and assets. Some influential figures in the country even gave these companies some benefits.They had their eyes on the Mallone family because the family only had William Mallone, who was gravely ill and was on the verge of death, and a woman called Heather. The companies wanted to take over all of the Mallone family's assets. Since they believed a woman like Heather couldn't keep the family business running, they teamed up to attack her.But what happened in the end?The Mallone family was barely scathed in the corporate fight. Thanks to Heather's research, the company's stock prices grew by a few percentage points. On the other hand, the companies that colluded to go after the Mallone family's business had suffered major losses. But that wasn't all.
