Chapter 421

Author: Cloud Drop
"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."

    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

    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

    "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 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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    "Hey, who cares if she's capable? All I know is that she's a great beauty.""Indeed. I don't know if I'll ever have a chance with her in the future…"The foreigners gathered together began to chuckle deviously. Their lustful laughter and malicious chuckles kept drifting over, gradually affecting Thomas' judgment.How dare these foreigners humiliate Liesel? Thomas strode over with a terrifying expression.Liesel appeared in front of the group of foreigners before Thomas could reach them and asked in fluent Eldovian, "Can all of these be assembled by tonight?"The foreigners quickly stopped smiling deviously and responded in broken Eldovian that it wouldn't be a problem."I'm paying double for overtime and installation fees. I hope your efforts will match the amount paid," Liesel said bluntly.Of course, she knew what those foreigners said. However, she merely looked at them blankly, barely concealing the disdain in her gaze. The foreigners were clearly provoked. They reached fo

    Was Liesel truly unable to understand the information? She was merely too lazy to browse through the document.It was best for someone like Howard to have his arrogance deflated. Being too nice to him would merely make him take advantage of the situation. Liesel was an investor. Why should she waste time reading reports? Howard should be explaining everything to her clearly. "I can't understand anything," Liesel repeated with an evident smile. Howard massaged his temples and exhaled lightly. After a long time, he said, "I'll ask someone to prepare another proposal and email it to you."He knew Liesel was forcing him to give in, and he had done so as well.Liesel cocked her head slightly. Her eyes gleamed as she looked at Howard. She was obviously satisfied with Howard's answer. That was how an employee should act.Howard could be proud of what he had, but soaring too high might hurt others. That was a lesson Liesel wanted to teach him. "Be good and listen to me, Mr. Durha

    Howard put on his gold-rimmed glasses and stared at Liesel. "You'll have unlimited funding and support. Your dreams will even come true. I'll do all I can to support you and make this self-driving car happen so it can fly in the sky and glide across the ocean." Liesel pointed at the luxurious sports car on the screen. "How do you know it's my dream?" Howard asked with a smirk."I fell in love with the car when I saw it for the first time. I'm sure it'll become everyone's dream car." Liesel chuckled. Howard looked down and let out a cryptic laugh. "Ms. Sharp, did you know that people's dreams may change?""Oh? Has your dream changed, Mr. Durham? That's okay. Tell me all about it, and I might even help you achieve your new dream." Liesel raised an eyebrow. She seemed rather interested, and her expression was filled with pride. Howard reached for another remote and pressed a button. The surrounding glass walls suddenly turned black, preventing anyone from looking inside. The whi

    Howard felt his presentation would help Liesel realize how valuable he was. "I'm not satisfied." Liesel shook her head. Howard was rendered speechless. That was the second time his ego took a hit."Mr. Durham, I suggest you don't look too far ahead. Whether cars can fly, that's for the future. First, we should develop a medicine that can cure cancer. "As for cars, we should solve battery life problems first, am I right? Yet you're developing flying cars before even solving our current problems. Your idea is too far-fetched.""Didn't you agree that you wouldn't interfere with my research?" Howard finally found his voice again."I'm just giving you a general direction. You'll still be in charge of the actual research, Mr. Durham," Liesel lied calmly. A general direction? She clearly planned everything for him in advance, and all he had to do was follow her plan. He wasn't even given a choice."Once the problem is solved, you can secure your position as CEO at Hardin Group. Am

    Thomas hurriedly nodded, and his ears had turned red. Liesel considered everything for him. She really was amazing, and that made him like her even more. There was a fork ahead of them. Thomas, who had been secretly joyful, froze instantly. As Liesel stopped, she suddenly felt like she had meddled too much. Some liked to work hard and achieve success, while others preferred to go with the flow. Everyone had their own ways of living. Liesel was being ridiculous by planning Thomas' life with her own ideas."Sorry, I always like making plans. All I can think of is getting promotions and higher pay." Liesel massaged her temples as she smiled helplessly. "You can do whatever you want. I'm just giving you a suggestion.""I know. Thank you, Ms. Sharp." Thomas gripped the cart handles tightly. Liesel's suggestion was fantastic, but Thomas couldn't see her if he went to work in the workshop. He might as well continue working as a laborer.There were two different routes ahead, and th

    All of Thomas' messy thoughts faded away. Instead, his heartbeat began racing like mad. The elevator space was so narrow. He couldn't help but touch his chest, fearing that Liesel could hear his pounding heartbeat."Got it, Ms. Sharp. I'll work hard," Thomas replied earnestly. He was willing to do anything for Liesel.Liesel scrutinized Thomas for a moment before smiling in relief. She knew how it felt to be stuck in a tough situation. She always couldn't help but give a chance to those struggling and lend them a hand."I asked you to learn a few things about logistics because I want you to know that you should always advance in your career. Never give up if there's something you're better at."The freight elevator doors slid open, and Liesel wheeled the cart inside the elevator. Thomas hurriedly trailed after her while paying attention to her words.If Cameron knew how obedient Thomas was out there, he would definitely cry tears of relief. "Save up some money first and settle

    Liesel's frown faded away, and she looked at Thomas gently. "Before leaving the research department that day, I noticed that the logistics department was hiring. It doesn't matter what I do as long as it's a job. That's why I went for the interview," Thomas explained.Thomas couldn't tell Liesel that his father, Cameron Keller, had arranged for that job as a punishment for him. As long as Thomas could see Liesel daily, he was willing to take on any job. It didn't matter, even if he had to work as a laborer, food delivery driver, or security guard.Thomas, whose heart was beating like mad, remarked awkwardly. "My job at the logistics department is quite lucrative. I get about three thousand dollars a month."Thomas vowed to give up his salary every month to Liesel in the future. As he looked up, his sly gaze had turned innocent. The corners of her lips lifted, and Liesel couldn't help but chuckle. She always remained alert whenever she worked with those old codgers at Hardin Grou

    It was hard to describe Liesel's radiant beauty, making it hard for anyone to resist her. Men and women alike stole a few more glances whenever they walked past her. Thomas Keller abruptly came to his senses and asked his companion to push the cart. "You can take this."His companion noticed Thomas' flushed face and understood instantly. He began teasing Thomas. "What? Not brave enough to walk past her? If you won't do it, I will."Thomas patted his sweaty palms against his blue uniform before adjusting the brim of his cap. He fixed his gaze in Liesel's direction.He stood rooted to the same spot and dared not to move. He was afraid that he might startle Liesel, who wasn't far away.Thomas' two companions teased him a while longer before wheeling the large boxes away. Initially, the two men were having a jolly time together, chatting and laughing. Yet they lowered their heads and stopped talking. They walked past Liesel in silence. Liesel took a few steps back. She stared at a

    When it came to writing reports, data analysis, and sorting documents, Austin completed all of it on his own. He was quick and delivered good work. Even with a workload that other employees couldn't even finish working overtime, he was always able to submit on time.As if to build relationships, he would always work overtime every day and help others with work.After half a month, he'd already blended in with everyone else. Everyone greeted him with a warm smile when they saw him, and they never ran out of praise for him.This made Liesel think back to her school days when she had been equally as stupid.In high school, she had done the same thing. She would always help people with the work that they couldn't finish, thinking that it was the best way to grow closer to others and become one of them.However, she was wrong.No matter how much labor an old ox did, it would never integrate into human society.Also, at the time, she had gone to a high school for the wealthy, while
