Chapter 342

Author: Cloud Drop
Richard was even more delighted. "While Elijah was studying at Alden University back then, his lecturers kept his grades down. At that time, he was considered their genius student.

"Ms. Turner also participated in several projects with Elijah, so she truly understands what he's capable of. In fact, she brought up the marriage first.

"Since she suggested marriage, it would be far too rude of us to reject her. That's why we need you to step aside."

Richard didn't actually mean for Liesel to simply step aside. He wanted her to get lost.

Liesel's gaze remained calm. She looked downward while estimating the time in silence. A faint smile formed on her lips.

"It's no use talking about all this with me. Why don't you wait for a few more minutes? He'll talk this out with you personally."

Liesel was clearly seated in the wheelchair but did not seem like a victim at all. She looked up at Richard while speaking sarcastically.

"If Elijah agrees to the breakup, I definitely won't bother h

    Sam almost never spoke to Elijah in such a tone. Elijah almost wanted to laugh.Elijah used to act like a loser. None of the ladies from wealthy families were interested in him and would just flirt with him. Only families that weren't as well-off wanted to get close to him and rub shoulders with the Hardins.As for Liesel, although she didn't have the perfect background, everything else about her was enough to make up for it. Apart from that, Heather was Liesel's biological mother. That alone was enough for Liesel to stand out among everyone else."It's better for you to say I'm not good enough for Liesel. Someone as brilliant as her could have anyone she wants. Why do you think she chose me?" As soon as Elijah finished speaking, Sam interrupted him."Because she was once married and had Jacob's child. No matter how brilliant she is in the future, everyone else thinks she's no longer pure. "Do you actually think these sly old men in the elite circles are truly stupid? Why would

    On the surface, these CEOs were respectful to Liesel and praised her. However, they merely made fun of her for being a woman behind her back.For someone as brilliant as Liesel, all her efforts were wiped away just because she was once married."Did you think I was the one who chose Lili during our time together? No. From the start until now, I've always been the one who was chosen. Lili's the one who calls the shots." Elijah chuckled lightly. "Lili's amazing. She's my lover." He sounded determined. "I think you've really gone mad," Sam muttered. His gentle expression was gone. "I'm quite lucid. You guys have always been crazy. All these years, I still never learned all your old-fashioned ways. "I've always liked to be different. To me, my ideas are correct. My lover can only be Lili." Every word Elijah said was to express his love for Liesel. Elijah didn't hide his feelings for her. He wanted Sam to know what his choice was. With how things were going, there was no need fo

    "Elijah is indeed talented and smart. But where are you lacking, Mr. Hardin?" Charles patiently guided Sam. Charles crouched down to meet with Sam's gaze. He saw hatred hidden in the depths of Sam's gentle eyes. "Mr. Hardin, you're merely crippled. Why must that ruin your chances of being the heir?" Charles continued with a chuckle, "Mr. Hardin, you are the oldest in the main branch of the Hardin family. You are the true heir of the Hardin family, right?Sam gulped. His gaze turned confused. It was Charles who sought Sam out a few days ago. It wasn't Richard who gave Sam information on Liesel. Charles was responsible for that.Sam actually wasn't very outstanding, but he wanted more than he deserved. His crippled state was the reason why he often remained in the shadows.Sam also wanted to fight for his rights, but Richard favored Uriah. At that time, Uriah was the heir to the Hardin family, not Elijah. Since Sam believed he wasn't capable of fighting Uriah, he held back his sin

    Charles took out a tiny box containing a chip as large as a soybean and handed it to Sam. "This is the latest listening device. We'll have to trouble you to find an opportunity to plant this in Elijah's car. After all, only those closest to Elijah can get this done."These words seemed to mock Sam. It was ridiculous to know that Elijah's closest family was planning to betray him.Sam didn't consider any further. He snatched the box from Charles, earning a few chuckles from him. "We'll meet again, Mr. Hardin." As soon as Charles turned away, his gentle smile faded into a mocking smirk. What a foolish man.Sam knew nothing about the financial world, yet he thought he was worthy of becoming heir to the Hardin family. He should look at himself in the mirror.Now that Liesel was running Hardin Group, the company was no longer like it once was. If Hardin Group ended up as the winner at the financial summit, they would even surpass Ford Corporation. It wasn't just Ford Corporation

    Elijah let out a sarcastic snort. He raised an eyebrow, clearly mocking Richard. "I've always been a fool. Did you just learn that today? Stupid people have stupid children. Isn't that what you deserve?" Richard didn't care much for Elijah. Not only because he didn't like Laura but also because Elijah's attitude was far too infuriating. That year, Richard forced Elijah to go overseas because he didn't want to see Elijah. Elijah's terrible temper was quite irritating. Most of what he said was rather sarcastic. As soon as he came back, he unplugged the air conditioner immediately. Was it worth going against Richard for a divorced woman? Richard was so angry that he kept patting his chest. He feared Elijah might trigger him into getting a heart attack."Since you're back, you better give me an explanation. Ms. Turner was once your junior. She understands you well and admires you very much. Not long ago, she expressed her interest in marrying you. What do you think?" Richard c

    Elijah sneered. "I'm the actual head of the family now. Do you still need me to remind you of this? You already lost to me. "You didn't let me take over. I stole it from you. What makes you think that I would listen to you?" Elijah looked at Richard with a sinister gaze. He was threatening Richard.Richard inhaled sharply upon noticing Elijah's gaze. He forgot Elijah had matured a long time ago. He had ruthlessly kicked Richard aside and took the chance to become the CEO of Hardin Group. Elijah called all the shots at Hardin Group today. Why would he listen to Richard?"Elijah, you need to get this clear. If you've truly decided to reject Ms. Turner, there's no other way out. Liesel's family won't provide you with any protection. "If you marry Ms. Turner, you can get help from the Turner family. You figure out which is more important." In the end, Richard couldn't help but advise Elijah.Elijah's gaze remained malicious as he continued to sneer. "If I chose that shortcut, I wo

    Uriah was still dreaming of inheriting Hardin Group. He had no idea that not only did Charles seek him out, but he also met Sam as well. Aside from Elijah, everyone in the Hardin family was a fool.The Hardins would have to fight internally, which would ruin Elijah. They could not be as united as the Fords, and Vincent was still alive. After all, Richard would only make things worse. Sam was the eldest legitimate son who had been consumed by his sorrow after being crippled for many years. Now, he wanted to vie to become heir.Uriah, who Richard loved very much, wanted to make his comeback as well. Both sons would definitely aim for Elijah first. Who was Elijah's weakness? It was Liesel. Who was Liesel's weakness?In the past, it would definitely be Xavier. However, Xavier had been rescued from the Scotts. Hence, her current weakness was her past marriage to Jacob. Liesel was once married. That alone was a crime. Those who propped her high up could cut off her wings, ca

    As soon as Matthew finished speaking, he saw Ophelia poke her head through the door. Her innocent gaze was adorable as she beamed. At that moment, Matthew felt as if Ophelia had washed away all the darkness within him. He smiled while waving at her. Her eyes lit up even more, and she rushed toward him."Dad! Dad! Dad!" Her voice sounded sweet as she called him a few times. Upon hearing her tone, he knew she had something to ask of him. "Tell me what you want. When have I ever said no to you?" Matthew always gave in to Ophelia. Her smile grew wider. "Mr. Matthew Ford, I have something very crucial to tell you. I may start dating soon."Matthew was never really strict as a father to Ophelia. To her, not only was he her father, but he was one of her best friends that she could talk anything about. In the past, she might have sought Liesel out and chatted about all this with her. Now that Liesel had divorced Jacob, and Elijah didn't seem to like any of the Fords, Ophelia didn't w

    "I'm not interested in getting revenge on a celebrity I used to be a fan of. If your daughter received any retribution, it's only because even God couldn't let it continue."If you have so much free time, it would benefit you more to come to church with me instead."Ophelia was about to walk off when Veronica leaped forward. She held onto Ophelia's leg again and refused to allow her to leave. "No, you can't walk away! Yvonne said that she doesn't have a future in the industry anymore after making you angry."You have to forgive her! Aren't you a fan? You can't just stop supporting her. You have to keep liking her. As the daughter of the Ford family, you can give her more opportunities, and she will definitely be able to rise again!" Veronica roared maniacally.Ophelia let out an exasperated chuckle. All of a sudden, she felt like the entire Zima family was full of lunatics.Unable to hold back anymore, she said angrily, "Yvonne has committed a crime. Do you think I'm moronic enoug

    Understanding dawned on Ophelia's face. She seemed to have guessed the reason Veronica was here.She found the latter extremely ridiculous and disgusting."Yvonne Zima must be your daughter." Ophelia directly dropped Yvonne's full name. As soon as she uttered that, some of the spectator's expressions changed. Their eyes appeared disdainful and contemptuous as they regarded Veronica."What's the matter? What's the deal with Yvonne?" someone asked hurriedly when he noticed the shift in the others' expressions.A female student with glasses named Monica Stein was carrying a backpack with a Giselle keychain. Clearly, she was a hardcore fan of Giselle.Giselle was one of the women whom Yvonne had schemed against at the training camp. By chance, she was also this student's favorite celebrity.Monica immediately said, "What do you mean, what's the deal with Yvonne? If you don't know this story, then listen up."Yvonne is a manipulative bitch! During the filming of the variety show, it

    "Shut up!" Ophelia yelled in a rage.She immediately asked the food truck owner to give her another cup of coffee before pouring it all over Veronica's calf. She was paying her back an eye for an eye.Agonized, Veronica swayed on her feet. Then, she collapsed onto the ground while gnashing her teeth in pain.Ophelia had been raised by none other than the demon himself, Edward. Since she was little, he would always stand in front of her to protect her. Ophelia knew better than anyone how he liked to deal with matters.After Edward left, she had picked up a few things from him. Naturally, she would never let herself get bullied by others."Give me a serving of fries, a taco, some churros, and a hotdog." Ophelia pointed at the menu items on the food truck and rattled on about her order to the owner, who was gaping at her.Ignoring the probing gazes of the people around her, she minded her own business and brought some fries to her mouth. Only then did she feel herself come back to l

    Ophelia was so angry that she wanted to cuss at Edward. However, before she could even get mad, she heard Edward's disappointed voice. "Are you regretting this already?"Ophelia was dumbfounded. However, Edward continued slowly, "After giving it a lot of thought, you decided to abandon me. Is that it? I know I'm not good enough… I don't blame you…"Ophelia felt a headache coming on, but the anger had vanished. "No, I'm not thinking of abandoning you."The kiss yesterday had left her so excited that she hadn't slept a wink the entire night.She thought to herself, "If I don't set the record straight, Edward's going to overthink and paint me as a playgirl."She took a deep breath. "After you kissed me… I was really happy, so I only went to bed very late."Edward was obviously also caught off-guard. He hadn't expected to hear that. With delight in his eyes, he said, "I was also really happy that you let me kiss you."Ophelia hummed, and her face flushed red. "I'm really tired," she

    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
