Liesel felt her head spin. Was she being hit on by a drone?Meanwhile, Felix, whose mouth was as dry as sand from all his talking, stood frozen. "What the hell?" he thought. "Wasn't Howard supposed to be the type who's completely uninterested in romance? Or was it just that no one before was hot enough to catch his attention? Does it just boil down to Liesel's looks?"He stole a glance at Liesel with a bitter taste rising in his mouth. Given Howard's power and status, Felix could only swallow his frustration.Felix pulled out his business card with a smile. "Mr. Durham, how do you find our terms? If there's anything you're not happy with, feel free to let us know. Here's my card; you can contact me anytime to discuss further."After a moment of deliberation, Felix decided it was time to retreat. Howard was too busy messing around with his drone, using it to entertain himself at Liesel's expense. He wasn't listening to a word he was saying."Let's go. I'll drive you," Felix said to

Liesel turned around with a calm expression. "Mr. Durham, is there something you wanted to discuss?" Felix shot her a warning look, which she ignored entirely. Taking a few steps forward, Liesel continued in a detached tone, "Go ahead. We'll do our best to meet your requests." Her words promised cooperation, but her delivery couldn't have been icier. Felix felt his stomach tighten. He quickly plastered on a smile. "Yes, yes! We'd be happy to help with anything you need." "I've heard that you have quite the expertise in automotive engineering." Howard was unfazed by Liesel's frosty demeanor. "As it happens, I've done some upgrades on the prototypes your company developed. Care to take one for a spin, Ms. Sharp?" Howard was baiting Liesel. He was letting her know that he'd been keeping tabs on her. It raised the question of how Howard had gotten access to Liesel's car data. It was no mystery. The vehicles involved in the accident, including Elijah's car, had all been

Felix stood to the side, gushing with praise for Howard's so-called "brilliance." But no one paid him any attention. Not even a glance. His voice had become nothing more than background noise."Liesel, you're wasting your intelligence," Howard said. His tone was biting as he tapped his temple. "You've let yourself get tainted by the stink of money. You were born to be someone like me. We should be the same."Liesel's expression was unchanged. "Every breakthrough you make needs funding. You can't stand people chasing profit, but you still need to bleed them for investments. What's your take on that, Mr. Durham?"Howard chuckled as he held her gaze. "You haven't passed my test yet. I'm not interested in having this conversation with you. So, are you going to help me test my new car?"Felix, who had been rambling for the better part of five minutes, froze as the words finally sank in. Howard hadn't listened to a single thing he'd said. Still, Felix forced a strained smile and let out

The two cars sped up on the track. They were like arrows released from a bow. If their driving skills didn't match the speed, an accident was almost inevitable."They're helping me test the performance of the smart driving system. Mr. Ford, don't you think it's interesting?" Howard said with a grin. He was aware of the past between Jacob and Liesel, and his words only seemed like provocation."You let Liesel test your smart driving system? Are you out of your mind?" Jacob snapped. "Tell her to stop. I'll take over."Howard raised an eyebrow at Jacob's command. His eyes darkened with a cold, assessing gaze. He smirked. "Mr. Ford, do you think you're qualified?"As the two cars roared past them, a gust of wind followed in their wake."Howard, it's too fast! Make her stop. I'll drive!" Jacob's brow furrowed deeply as he stared at the cars with concern.Howard laughed lightly. His amusement was tinged with sarcasm. "Mr. Ford, this is a bet for Hardin Group. I doubt the Ford family ha

Liesel wasn't afraid because she understood the nature of intelligent systems. Since Howard had been someone Heather once relied on, his intellect was undoubtedly comparable to Heather's. If this system had been developed by Howard, there was little chance of it failing catastrophically.More importantly, Liesel knew the wall was a protective barrier. It was soft, designed specifically for testing, and wouldn't result in a real crash. This race was simply a test of nerves.Felix, on the other hand, wasn't so confident. He was gambling on Howard's decision-making abilities and on his own reaction time.Now, everything hinged on the final moments.The distance between the car and the wall closed rapidly, the prospect of dying looming closer with each passing second. "Ask them to brake! They're going to crash!" Jacob's voice was hoarse.Fear gripped his throat and twisted his heart, leaving him in a state of panic. He knew all too well the consequences of a car crash. Even though

A group of men in black suits clashed with a group of people in white lab coats. They pulled and shoved, turning the scene into chaos. "Liesel! I'm ordering you to brake immediately! Liesel, do you hear me?" Jacob's voice was hoarse from shouting. "Shut up." Liesel's calm voice came through Howard's walkie-talkie. Jacob froze. Howard couldn't hold back a laugh. That was Liesel—Heather's daughter in every way. She was the most fascinating woman he had ever met. Felix's car finally screeched to a halt, but Liesel's car charged straight toward the wall without hesitation. The executives from several companies who had come over to watch all turned their heads away. They didn't dare to continue watching.Just then, a prolonged beeping sounded from Liesel's car. She felt the steering wheel slip from her control as the intelligent system took over. Sixteen feet from the wall, the car suddenly drifted, veering sharply at the last moment.The tires screeched against the ground.

Liesel smirked as she shook Felix's hand. "Mr. Donner, I've always considered you a friend."Julian, a shrewd figure in the Hardin Group, wasn't one of the old-fashioned holdouts Liesel aimed to remove from the company. Having one more ally was always better than making another enemy.Felix felt his earlier unease dissipating completely. Not far away, Jacob stood stiffly, suppressing his anger as he watched the exchange. Howard began to applaud lightly, beaming. His gaze lingered on Liesel's beautiful face. When Liesel moved closer, Jacob finally lost control of his composure. He strode forward and grabbed her wrist firmly. When Liesel moved closer, Jacob finally lost control of his composure. He strode forward and grabbed her wrist firmly. "Liesel, you've completely lost it!" he hissed. His expression darkened. Liesel remained calm and pulled her wrist free. Without so much as a glance at Jacob, she walked past him, heading straight for Howard. "What do you think, Ho

While Hardin Group's representatives kept silent, other companies couldn't hide their envy. Liesel's social media post about Howard's groundbreaking experiments had drawn significant attention. Each project was a potential goldmine, and no one wanted to miss out on such a lucrative opportunity.Belinda arrived late with her team from Turner Group, only to be greeted by the sight of a finalized agreement. Frustration swelled in her chest. "So, Mr. Durham, have you already decided to partner with Hardin Group?"It seems you had reached an agreement with Liesel in advance. If that's the case, why go through the charade of announcing an open search for collaborators? Did you make us come all this way just for show?"As the Turner family heiress, Belinda was not one to lose composure, even when the man she admired had chosen someone else. After regrouping, she arrived with Turner Group's research team to demonstrate their sincerity and competitiveness to Howard. Howard's smile wa

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

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.

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

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
