Jordan was furious. "We don't need the doctors and nurses of Cloudspire Hospital to take care of her. We'll arrange for someone to take good care of her."

His expression turned frosty. "Have your people stay away from her. As I thought, someone in the same camp as Jacob can't be good," he said snidely.

He still couldn't control the hatred he felt right now.

"You'd better find out what happened, or I'll make you pay the price. Whether Cloudspire Hospital will be able to continue operating is another matter."

What kind of character was Jordan?

He was always pretty untamed. He was mixed race; his mother was a foreign dancer, while his father was a wealthy man. Because of his lowly background, he had been abandoned at the orphanage not long after he was born.

Since birth, he'd tried to crawl out of the muddy mires he'd been born into. However, because his considerably powerful father had been mocked by others, Jordan had even been harassed by his own father because of his face.

    So what was Natalie's purpose in this?Natalie loved Jacob so much; she definitely wouldn't allow another woman to be by Jacob's side, much less allow Liesel to give birth to Jacob's baby. Thus, Jacob didn't have to lift a finger. He just needed to tell Natalie the news so that she would take care of everything.Therefore, Liesel's miscarriage had been because of the herbs.Having achieved her goal on the first try, she grew bolder.She was so jealous of Liesel that she utterly despised the latter. She wanted to quietly drive Liesel crazy and make her even weaker so that Liesel would quietly die like a wilted flower.In Natalie's mind, Liesel was no different than her, just another one of Jeffrey's daughters. How come Liesel had everything and was able to stand at the peak, garnering everyone's respect? How come Natalie had to hide in a dark corner and was not allowed to show herself? Not only that, the man she cared about the most also loved Liesel.Hatred had blinded her. Her

    Jordan and Neal stood by Liesel's side. They knew that she was very weak and emotionally unstable right now, so they were very worried that Jacob would hurt her."Lili, we're afraid that something will happen to you."Liesel shook her head gently in response to Neal's concerned comment. "He won't," she said. A small laugh escaped her throat. It sounded like she was laughing at herself and mocking Jacob. "He's fallen for me."Like a foolish bystander, she could clearly feel Jacob's deep love for her. However, his idea of love was different from hers. Her idea of love was giving and offering herself wholly, while his idea of love was to plunder, possess, and hurt.She sat in her wheelchair and allowed Jordan to push her to the elevator. The housekeeper had been waiting for a while now. When she saw her, she immediately greeted her with respect. "Welcome home, Mrs. Ford."Liesel didn't correct the housekeeper. She simply allowed her to lead her into the condo in which she'd lived for

    It was like Jacob had completely forgotten about the conflict between him and Liesel.He acted as if they hadn't gone through a divorce, a car accident, and all those other things. It was like they were still a normal married couple."How ridiculous," Liesel thought. "This is truly ridiculous.""Jacob, you seemed to have forgotten about the rifts between us. Do you need me to remind you?" she asked.Her gaze flitted toward the glass of wine, and her heart filled with derision. "Also, I've just suffered a miscarriage. My body is still recovering, so I can't have alcohol."At the mention of miscarriage, Jacob's eyes suddenly turned icy. "Don't bring up the miscarriage in front of me ever again. I thought that you asked to meet because you've finally thought things through."Step by step, he approached Liesel. As he leaned down, his entire body radiated an overbearing pressure. However, Liesel's expression didn't waver.While watching Jacob, she merely hummed quietly. "Yes, I've th

    "How dare you, Jacob? You are the culprit and the root of all evil. You should also suffer along with me," Liesel thought.At that moment, Jacob fell into a daze. Rooted to the spot, he was unable to react. He was as still as a statue, and his brain could barely function. The same sentence kept repeating in his head."Jacob, you have murdered your own heir with your scheme."What did Liesel mean by that?He couldn't understand it at all.It's fake. It must all be fake."Liesel, you're joking," he said hoarsely. "That's not true."Liesel's eyes were glittering brightly as she stared at Jacob. "I never betrayed you during our marriage. I was pregnant with your child. That child was our flesh and blood."Jacob, that was our baby. Elijah had nothing to do with it."Jacob's brain had completely frozen. He stared straight at Liesel, but his dark eyes were completely devoid of emotion. He didn't believe it. "When I asked you, you said that it was Elijah's baby! How could it be mine?"

    Jacob didn't have the courage to trust Liesel's words. Instead, he called Denzel in front of her.No one but Denzel would know better.When he got the confirmation, his phone slipped from his hand. It fell onto the ground, cracking loudly.He swayed on his feet, shivering from head to toe. He couldn't even clench his fists tightly. His eyes were filled with uncertainty and doubt toward himself."It w—was mine? Why wasn't it Elijah's? Why was it mine? How could he have been my baby?"If that had been his child, then what had he done all of that for?Liesel cocked her head, watching him go through this torment. A little laugh escaped her throat. "Yes, he was your child. You killed your own baby with your scheme. You are a murderer, and the one you murdered was your own baby."She wanted to hurt him with her icy words. She knew that his heart was bleeding right now, but she still wanted to deepen the cuts. She wanted to rub salt in his wounds then stab knives into his heart over an

    "Have a look."Liesel handed the document to Jacob."Someone added foreign substances into my medicine, Jacob," she said. "I won't be able to have kids anymore."That was another blow to Jacob's mental state.He flipped through the document quickly. When he finally realized that all of this happened because he'd told Natalie that Liesel was pregnant with his baby, he was in disbelief.In the beginning, he just wanted to make Natalie come up with a way to get rid of the baby. He had never intended for her to do anything more than that.His eyes flickered, and he tightened his grip. The thick stack of papers wrinkled in his hands."It's alright. It's alright even if we don't have kids," Jacob said in a low voice. "The Ford family still has Ophelia. We can adopt Ophelia's kids."His gaze dimmed. "As long as you return to my side."Liesel met Jacob's dark eyes calmly. Without averting her gaze, she said, "I belong to Elijah.""He's already a cripple!"Liesel shook her head gentl

    When Jordan burst in, he met Jacob's dark and icy gaze. The latter's cool eyes seemed to carry an internal struggle as he glared at Jordan."If you love Elijah, then tell me who this is," he said, referring to Jordan."No matter who he is to me, it has nothing to do with you," Liesel said calmly.Before she left, she said, "Jacob, remember this. You killed your child with your own hands, and it is your blind protectiveness that left me infertile for life. You are the actual one to blame here."Liesel hadn't said anything that was incorrect.It was because of Jacob's protection that allowed Matthew to become this fearless and enabled Natalie to harm her over and over again. If it wasn't for Matthew, Liesel wouldn't have been forced to this point.Liesel left, and the condo fell quiet once again.Jacob quietly walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows. Through the glass, he watched as Jordan pushed her frail body out in a wheelchair.She was really weak. Even with makeup on, he coul

    That cut-up dress had symbolized Liesel's determination to completely separate from him.After so many years, how could Jacob let go so easily? Was he just going to give her the chance to leave just because she wanted to?Clearly, she was the one who started it first and provoked him.He could give her many more red dresses to make things up to her for that night.Picking up his phone, he snapped a picture of all the red evening gowns in the room and uploaded it to Twitter.He captioned it, "A gift for you."Anyone would be able to get the hidden meaning behind that short sentence!Ever since she divorced Jacob, Liesel had shown up to all kinds of events in red dresses. She had even worn red diamond earrings. Anyone who knew Liesel would know that she liked the color red.By uploading that picture at such a sensitive time, Jacob was not just declaring war against Elijah but also indirectly showing affection to Liesel.News about Elijah's car accident had just died down, and pe

    Toby froze. His legs nearly gave out when he heard who it was on the phone."Had enough pictures?" It was Liesel.Toby's heart pounded so hard he could hear it in his ears. The rush of adrenaline left him lightheaded. "Ms. Sharp… you knew?""I know Jacob sent you. Go ahead and upload tonight's photos and videos online. Don't worry about me."Toby was speechless."Are you sure about this, Ms. Sharp?" He was asking if Liesel was truly choosing Elijah."Did I stutter?"Toby let out an awkward chuckle, and Liesel hung up without another word."What the hell just happened? Who called you and scared you so bad?""Don't tell me you got served court papers or something.""You're being too quiet. What's going on? What shook you so badly?"The group crowded around Toby. He swallowed hard and recounted what Liesel had said. The room fell silent. After what felt like an eternity, someone murmured, "Was that Liesel's way of confessing to Elijah?"It was. She unapologetically used that f

    "Would they love me like you do? Or would they just drain me of everything I'm worth?" Liesel was genuinely curious. "If you love me, then stay with me forever. Don't ever give anyone the chance to hurt me again."If you care so much about your legs, I'll contact the best medical team. I'll build a research institute if I have to. I can do so much for you, just like Heather did for Jason. So, please, stop saying we're not a good match. We're the perfect match."Liesel stood up and braced her hand against the nearby furniture. At this moment, she seemed taller and more commanding."Look into my eyes, Elijah. Tell me. What do you see?"Elijah froze. His gaze locked onto hers. In those usually calm eyes, he saw an overwhelming depth of emotion that made his throat tighten."I think you can tell the difference between love and indifference. So, what's your answer?"Before he could respond, Liesel pressed on, "Never mind. Even if you want to hide, I won't let you retreat any further."

    "You could at least do something to earn my respect," Liesel said. "You've injured your legs, and you acted like it's the end of the world. It's not like you've lost your manhood. And even if you did, we can always have a platonic relationship. Anything works when the person is right."Do you hear me, Elijah? Love between a man and a woman does involve physical attraction and intimacy, but that's not all of it. True love comes from the resonance between two souls, from the empathy and connection they share."Even as she spoke, her words circled back to the real issue. She was still angry at Elijah for giving up on himself.Elijah's voice was hoarse as he responded, "I just can't bear it, Lili. You're so wonderful. Have you ever seen the kind of twilight where the entire sky is bathed in warm orange hues, and stars begin to twinkle faintly at the horizon?"That kind of twilight feels like it bridges heaven and earth. I've been to many places in my life, but that twilight was the onl

    "Elijah, do you know how upset I was?" Liesel asked.Elijah's injuries were severe. His entire body was battered. Even his strikingly handsome face bore scars. His right arm was broken, and his chest, back, and legs were covered in countless wounds.Anyone else would have clung to Liesel like a lifeline, terrified that she would abandon them. But Elijah just wanted to push her away."What can I say, Lili?" Elijah's tone carried a hint of helplessness. "It feels like whatever I say now will just be wrong. Do you want to judge me? You're welcome to do so.""I just don't understand." Liesel held his hand. Her grip was gentle as if afraid of causing him more pain. "What do you take me for? What do you take yourself for?"This world has so many people suffering because they lack money or power. But we have both. You're incredibly hot, and you're standing at the pinnacle of society. So what if your legs are injured? There are countless people worse off than you. Why let this drag you do

    Reuben handed Liesel a red-covered envelope, but his expression was strange as he did so. Was there something hidden in the letter?Liesel opened it, and her eyes twitched as she read the few words written inside. "What is this?"The writing looked like a tangled mess of worms twisted together into a few sentences. It wasn't just ugly—it was excessively so.Reuben fell silent for a moment. "It's not that hard to read."Liesel handed the letter back to him. Her gesture clearly said, "If it's so easy, you read it."Reuben's face remained as calm as ever. "Liesel..." He simply said her name before stopping."It's not important. What matters is that the only person who can match Howard's intellect and keep up with his progress is you. Since he wants to meet you and the authorities want you to be involved, I hope you can take this collaboration seriously, Ms. Sharp."He said it wasn't important, but actually, he just couldn't read Howard's alien handwriting.Liesel clicked her tongu

    Belinda's verbal attacks only made Liesel realize one thing—Belinda wasn't a particularly smart person.Once truly intelligent people understood their opponent's cards, they wouldn't provoke them so recklessly, without considering the family's reputation or the consequences of their actions.It was selfish, cold-hearted, immature, and laughable.Liesel was already pushing Elijah's wheelchair out of the Turner residence's living room when Reuben nodded slightly at Nathan. His commanding gaze swept over Belinda as he murmured, "The younger generation of the Turner family needs to be properly taught manners."With that, Reuben left with the special forces.Glaring at their retreating backs, Belinda ground her teeth, but her expression was one of desolation.She could feel the vast distance between her and Liesel. She was unwilling to accept her defeat. She wouldn't just hand Elijah over to Liesel. One day, she would take Elijah back, no matter what.Liesel remained unaware of Belin

    But since Heather had chosen her lover over her children when she was forced to make that choice, she was doomed to carry that guilt for the rest of her life.She had made her choice, and it was a mistake. Maybe it would be easier if she truly believed she was heartless.Since Liesel and Xavier were her and Jason's children, they had to be exceptional. Only then could they truly live up to their brilliant bloodline.Heather arrived at the research facility and looked at the man lying quietly on the bed, who was slowly recovering. Crouching on the cold floor, she gently held his hand and softly rubbed it."Jay, do you think I've made a mistake?"There was no response.Only the soft whisper of the breeze could be heard. Though it was the height of summer, the air felt unnervingly cold.Heather gazed at Jason, who was still trapped in his deep slumber."Jay, when you wake up, we'll go back to Ashthorne. They may not accept me, but they'll accept you. We can… go home together."Sh

    After Jason's incident, Reuben had once asked Heather for a chance to pursue her. Without a second thought, she rejected him and introduced him to countless rich young women.But Reuben had remained single all this time. He had no lover, no family, and only a few adopted children he had raised.Heather could tell from his gaze that he still harbored some hope.Smiling, she said, "Reuben, if you're so interested in our news, why don't you keep an eye on Liesel? She's my daughter, after all. I'll contact her eventually, won't I?"When it came to people she didn't care for, she was always ruthless.She casually shifted the problem she considered troublesome onto Liesel. Her smile returned, and she looked at Liesel intently, as if waiting for her response."Are you waiting for my reaction?" Liesel asked. "I've always found myself in so many dangerous situations with Elijah. I'm more than happy if more bodyguards sent by the authorities come along. Thank you."There was nothing aroun

    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
