"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

    "Do you know how impressive the 'Bait Talks' were? Liesel crushed Dash Rayden on her own and secured that piece of land for two billion dollars less than the asking price, shocking both the business and financial circles abroad! "Do you know why that incident is known as the 'Bait Talks'? It was because that discussion had been a trap set up by the business circle overseas. Their motive had been to humiliate Draskia."However, it was Liesel who exposed their evil intentions. It was Liesel who did all the research. It was Liesel who made Draskia dominate over the other countries, allowing us to rise above them. It was because of that discussion that other nations now look at Draskia differently at business talks!"Otherwise, why do you think they gave our nation so many collaboration opportunities and even decided to host this year's financial summit in Ashthorne? It wasn't just because the Shifter Corporation headquarters had moved to Ashthorne, but also because the main character

    Elijah was always able to take amazing photos of Liesel. Even if it was just a picture of her back, it was a hazy kind of beautiful.Liesel liked the Tweet and continued scrolling."Meeting you was such a wonderful thing. It was like hearing the sea breeze or seeing a sky full of stars. It was like having a juicy watermelon on a summer's day. It was like all the wonderful things."Liesel couldn't help but smile. She typed out a reply, "It's like Liesel getting to meet Elijah."Elijah had really written a lot of Tweets about her. As she read through them and observed them closely, she felt like she could touch him indirectly."Ms. Sharp's lifestyle is really unhealthy. I hope she can learn from me by going to bed early and waking up late. That's what I call a healthy lifestyle."She replied, "I'll learn to laze around in bed more, alright?""Ms. Sharp seems to have fallen sick recently. I'll just give her half my health."She replied, "Mr. Hardin also hasn't been well lately. I

    Jacob started liking Liesel's previous tweets, which she had subtly posted about him during three years of their marriage on Twitter. Her tweets were similar to what Elijah posted on Twitter after he fell in love with her. She had been subtly expressing her love for Jacob."Didn't you say you enjoyed Panshaw's coffee? If we get the chance, I can accompany you there to try all the coffee you like.""You said that the lavender field was beautiful. I can go with you next time.""I can try to like red too. The formal outfit tonight is for you.""Come back, please?"At that moment, Jacob wanted to do his best to make up for the things he never did in the past. The website, which had been full of comments due to his odd behavior, turned really quiet. Any mockery toward Liesel was gone instantly. It was just like what that netizen said. Jacob really loved Liesel, but it was all too late.After posting all the pictures on Twitter, Jacob looked up at the night sky in a daze. How cou

    "Well, that's a relief."Liesel logged into her Twitter account, uploaded all of Howard's research data without altering a single word, and tagged a small anonymous Twitter account.She captioned her post, "Thank you, Mr. Durham, for this opportunity to collaborate. Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow at the dinner party." To top it off, she included a photo of Howard's handwritten letter.Reuben raised an eyebrow. "You posted all of it?"Liesel crossed her arms. Her expression had a subtle hint of amusement."Didn't you say there wasn't anything that couldn't be made public? Mr. Durham's brilliant work deserves to be shared with the world."The sloppy, near-unreadable handwriting was enough to invite mockery from anyone who saw it. It was a calculated strike.Liesel would make sure to flip someone's world upside down before they could even react if they ever crossed her.Still riding the wave of attention from her public confession to Elijah, Liesel's latest post quickly ca

    Nothing was going according to Jacob's plan. Liesel was insane. She had drawn the curtains wide open and kissed Elijah in full view of the world. She waited for the moment she would be seen. She didn't care about telling the internet who her choice was. They were just collateral.She had to know Jacob had sent Toby. It was her way of fighting back. She wanted him to know she had chosen Elijah.Liesel was as ruthless as ever.He had hurt her once, and that was her revenge. She'd rather choose a cripple than Jacob.Jacob dialed a number. His voice was hoarse and laced with barely controlled anger. "Take down the trending posts. I don't want to see any of that by tomorrow."There was a pause before Charles responded, "Can't do it."Jacob's mind raced as he questioned why the posts couldn't be erased. The only explanation was that Liesel had gotten involved.Without another word, Jacob hung up and replayed the video. He imagined himself in Elijah's place, but reality always broke

    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
