Chapter 386

Author: Cloud Drop
Where there was drama, there was Jordan.

Liesel naturally didn't say anything. She considered hitching a ride in Neal's car when she suddenly thought of a very real problem.

Ever the law-abiding citizen, she said seriously, "Neal, you weren't in Draskia the past few years. I bet you only have a driver's license from Matristan, so even if you buy a car here, you can't drive it. If you get caught, you'd be sent to prison. You can only drive once you get the local driver's license."

She remembered clearly that the past few times Neal visited her, he had a driver to drive him around.

Neal's head began to throb.

Liesel fiddled with her keys, allowing Neal to push her wheelchair.

Despite her frail wheelchair-bound frame, she could still talk Neal's ear off. Because of his sudden return, she was able to ignore the headache and discomfort she was feeling. Aside from some fatigue, she was able to endure the other aches.

Setting aside the pain, Liesel didn't forget to tease Neal. "It's so

    Jeffrey totally had no idea how Quinn had been able to rise from the ashes and establish Lambert Corporation, going after Sharp Group like a rabid dog.Not for the first time, vile thoughts filled his head. He should not have shown her any mercy back then; he should have just killed her too after getting the Lambert family assets. At least he'd have saved himself all the trouble now!Tugging on his tie, he chuckled coldly. "Quinn, why have you brought your unwanted son to the Sharp Group board meeting? Your vision must be deteriorating with age if you cannot distinguish between Sharp Group and Lambert Corporation anymore."Caleb was unfazed. He merely laughed quietly before replying in an indifferent tone, "My mother and I have always paid special attention to the Sharp family affairs. Seeing how you've raised Ms. Natalie, my mother and I couldn't help but keep our distance. "I am very grateful to you for showing us mercy and letting both my mother and me live. Because of that, m

    "Is an old man who doesn't even know basic manners worthy of becoming the head of Sharp Group? It's no wonder Sharp Group is lacking ambition, stagnant, and on the brink of bankruptcy."Caleb had been raised by Quinn, so Jeffrey's words from before had angered him. Even though he didn't let the emotion show on his face, every statement he made was a barbed spear aimed straight for Jeffrey's chest.The board members in the meeting room said nothing, but they had all come to their own decision.Actually, although Jeffrey had privately bribed them with gifts and money, those were just personal transactions. There wasn't any evidence left behind, much less a binding contract that mandated them to vote for him at the board meeting.Not only that, but Caleb didn't say anything wrong.Jeffrey was indeed old. It was because of his old age that he'd done all those careless things.After Heather died, Sharp Group had tanked to rock bottom. They were unable to regain their former glory. Jef

    Caleb despised Jeffrey so deeply that he wanted to hurt him with every word. He would only feel better if he could rub salt into Jeffrey's wounds until Jeffrey wished he was dead.Jeffrey pointed at Caleb while yelling angrily, "You're spewing nonsense! Why don't you show some real capabilities?"One of the board members, Paul Schwarz, tried to mediate. He chuckled and said, "Why don't we invite the board members who would like to run for leader to share their plans for Sharp Group for the next few years?"Jeffrey snorted haughtily. He proposed a very safe and conventional plan. Not only did it involve continuing to manufacture medium-quality fabrics and collaborating with other fashion companies, but he also had intentions to establish a mid-to-high-end clothing brand called "Vividity Clothing."He was very confident in the brand he created. He also proposed engaging top celebrities to become the spokesperson of the brand, as well as collaborating with celebrities to introduce a t

    The board members had differing thoughts. The way they looked at Jeffrey had changed.In the past, they would have refused to believe that a woman could have such a great influence on a business.However, the catalyst for Sharp Group's downfall recently was no one else but Liesel. Therefore, they had no choice but to think twice and raise their guards.Caleb surveyed everyone's expressions. Then, he continued to attack Jeffrey with his words. "Moreover, many huge brands have already launched live streaming on short-form content platforms, where they engage in-house streamers to sell their clothing. During special events, they even invite celebrities to hype up the live stream.""What a joke! Selling clothes on live streams? Do you really think our brand is cheap and marketed to country bumpkins? We want to establish ourselves as mid-to-high-end! We cannot sell at a cheap price. Those people watching the live streams would have to be able to afford it!"Jeffrey was the first one to

    "Mr. Sharp, I also don't want to see Sharp Group die in your hands. You should understand where I'm coming from."Jeffrey roared angrily, "The name of this company is Sharp Group! It's Sharp Group, not Lambert Group or Schwarz Group!"Caleb tilted his head slightly while smiling darkly. "Didn't this company used to be named after the Mallones? In the end, wasn't it changed to Sharp at the last minute? It wouldn't hurt to change it to another last name now."Jeffrey stumbled to his feet while gritting his teeth. He felt like Caleb had come here just to target him. It was like he was born to be his worst enemy!No, Jeffrey couldn't allow himself to be defeated by Paul or Caleb.With the shares he held and the support of some board members, he would still be able to secure the prized CEO position. No one could chase him away!Jeffrey felt his blood pressure rise with anger. His face paled, but he kept staring fixedly at Quinn. Like a maniac, he chuckled darkly. "I'm afraid you must

    Jeffrey glared at Liesel. For a moment, he didn't know what to say to appease her.He knew how ludicrous Liesel could be. He'd have to drop money just to talk things out with her!But he didn't have money to pay off his daughter now!Caleb just arched an eyebrow. He'd always followed the news closely, so of course he knew how popular Liesel was. He'd also seen many pictures of her before. Yet, he was still stunned by her beautiful face seeing her standing right in front of him."You're finally here. I thought I wouldn't get to see you, dear sister," he teased with a smile. He purposely called Liesel his sister to piss off Jeffrey, reminding him that he and Liesel were also "blood relatives."Liesel didn't hide how gleeful she was to watch some drama unfold. She was in full support of giving Jeffrey a hard time. "What are you saying, dear brother? Of course, I will do as I promised you and Ms. Lambert. "I had arrived a while ago, but while standing outside the door, I wanted to h

    The board members' eyes lit up. When Caleb mentioned reconciliation with Liesel earlier, they had all thought that it was impossible.However, they had never imagined that Liesel would actually join forces with Quinn and Caleb to go up against Jeffrey!After giving it some thought, they suddenly felt like it made sense. A bastard like Jeffrey should get his reckoning.Jeffrey patted his chest while gasping for breath. "Liesel, you shut your mouth! I am your biological father! You can't do this to me!"Liesel scoffed. "My brother is also your biological son. How does it feel to have your blood-related children get their revenge on you at your board meeting? Do you like this gift I gave you?"She had purposely used the word "blood-related" to poke fun at Jeffrey's speech from before.Jeffrey wanted to spew even more furious words, but Liesel furrowed her brow and clicked her tongue. "You should shut your mouth. You're too noisy. I want to get my revenge swiftly and quickly, not hea

    The other board members exchanged glances before coming to a decision.They were just fair-weather friends, so there was no such thing as showing support for a friend. Profit always took priority."I also think that Mr. Lambert can lead us to greater heights!""I'm happy to leave Sharp Group in Mr. Lambert's hands from now on."The well-dressed board members put on faux smiles, and their derisive sneers from before were nowhere in sight.Liesel wondered curiously why Jeffrey hadn't said anything. Could her words have really spooked him just now? But it didn't sound like him at all.However, the reason Jeffrey was quiet now was because Neal's face terrified him. Right now, it felt like a cat had gotten his tongue, and he was unable to formulate any sentences. All he did was stare at Neal's familiar face, feeling like he was plunging into a depthless abyss as if he were in a waking nightmare.All the board members present gave Jeffrey looks of pity.His clever son, Caleb, had bee

    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

    "So it is because of Stanley.""Well, I'm much older than you. Stanley is young so there wouldn't be a generation gap between you two. You must like someone younger."That's not all. Stanley has excellent grades. I naturally understand that you'd choose him. After all, he's the first guy you've ever called your boyfriend."You don't have to say anything; I understand. I'm not up to standard. Stanley will definitely achieve greater things than me in the future, so I shouldn't keep clinging to you…" I must have put you in a difficult position. If I had known that you had picked Stanley, I wouldn't have come back and disturbed you. I've disturbed the peace in your life."Every single word Edward said felt like a stab in Ophelia's heart.Was he crazy? Why was he talking about Stanley in every sentence?Ophelia tried her hardest to bite her tongue, but in the end, she failed to hold her anger in."You keep talking about Stanley, but didn't I already tell you that we've broken up?

    Ophelia snatched the junk food box in a huff to fill the gift boxes with snacks."You! Stop causing trouble!""Okay, okay! I'll stop messing around." With that, Joseph muttered, "It was just a few sweets…"Ophelia glared at him. Joseph immediately cleared his throat and no longer uttered a word. Instead of teasing her, he also began helping her pack the boxes. Not trusting him, Ophelia intentionally inspected each box. She only felt assured to hand him the boxes once she was certain none of the chocolates or snacks were missing.Not long after Joseph started packing, he began looking around absentmindedly. He looked down and noticed many private messages on Ophelia's phone. Those still part of Yvonne's fandom had sent those messages. They were scolding Ophelia.Ophelia merely glanced at the messages before nonchalantly turning off the phone screen. Not only were she and Joseph done wrapping the boxes, but Edward had finished preparing breakfast as well. Edward prepared all of

    "Oh!" Joseph exclaimed. He whirled around and took a step back before patting Edward's palm. "Shouldn't you give me something in return for my advice? A present or something, right?"Edward came off as rather domineering as he asked icily, "Tell me which car you want. What model and series? When do you want it?"Yes, Edward had brought up cars. Joseph's eyes lit up. "I want the latest SUV from Land Rover within the next three days."It wasn't as if Joseph couldn't afford the car. He simply liked messing with his friends. After all, free things were the best. "Sure." Joseph continued flatteringly, "Bro, this is how it works. Women are usually more soft-hearted, especially someone like Ophelia at her age. You should give in sometimes."Be shameless if she ever tries to drive you away. Hug her and act pitiful by saying that you don't want to leave her. Say that you can't sleep or will have nightmares if you don't see her. You can even be more dramatic."Joseph was quick-witted enou

    Ophelia was left dumbfounded after hearing Joseph's advice. What nonsense was he talking about? He was supposed to be on her side, not sabotage her. Edward shoved Ophelia out of the kitchen. "Something's wrong with his brain, so just ignore him. Go and rest."Ophelia was still perplexed as Edward pushed her out of the kitchen. However, she didn't probe further since she refused to speak to him for now. Once Ophelia was gone, Joseph immediately cursed. "You're such a beast. 28cm, 28cm. Why don't you cut off that thing of yours? Did you think your sweetheart is someone who appears in those adult films?" Edward's eyes twitched. He finally understood what Joseph had been blabbering about. Joseph was such a pervert through and through. Edward slammed the knife onto the chopping board. "I'm talking about my age. What's gotten into you?""Oh, it's your age." Joseph sighed in relief. He had been worried about how Draskia could have such a pervert like Edward.After a while, Joseph e
