Before Liesel could respond, Felix was already speaking. "Mr. Fernsby, if you'd been the one driving earlier, would you have dared to crash into it? If not, then stop provoking me."Cooper responded without hesitation, "Of course, I would. Too bad I got here a moment too late." "I would've dared too.""Felix, think for a moment. Mr. Durham would never risk another person's life. If he told you to speed up, you should've trusted him. He would've made sure you were safe.""Do you think everyone is as spineless as you, Felix?" Several individuals who had previously worked with Felix began jeering.Felix's face turned red with anger. Pointing at them, he snapped, "Easy for you to talk! "Do you think you can accomplish what Liesel did just by running your mouths? If you were in my shoes, you'd have been scared out of your mind! And yet, here you are, spewing nonsense!" Still seething, Felix shoved Cooper. "Come on, let's go find Mr. Durham. Let's see you experience the thrill of cras

"What's the matter?" "Captain Buckner, we need you to act as a witness." Liesel explained what had happened.Reuben felt a wave of frustration. "Liesel, this partnership is something you risked your life to secure." He understood her reasoning but couldn't see the necessity of it. To him, these people weren't worth her time or effort. "Competition works this way. Opportunities shouldn't just go to Felix and me—everyone should have a shot. Otherwise, no one will be convinced of the results, right?" Liesel turned to Cooper with a mocking smile on her lips. "Mr. Durham, you've heard everything, haven't you? How about stepping in as the examiner?" Liesel gestured behind her.Howard approached while controlling a small drone with a remote. A group of researchers were right behind him.The drone darted toward Liesel and circled her repeatedly. She glanced up. Her expression was thoughtful and composed. She didn't say a word and just smiled as she waited for Howard to speak. "Wel

Should the intelligent system evolve step by step until it is perfect, or should it aim straight for a fully mature design from the outset? This was a crucial debate in the automotive industry.No company could afford the price of failure. If the system wasn't flawless and bugs emerged, the result would be one accident after another, with lives as the cost.Even a single fatality could destroy a company's reputation and force it to shut down. A large-scale disaster involving multiple accidents would be unthinkable. Howard's top priority was undoubtedly to test the system's safety, reliability, and the feasibility of gradual improvements.Once everyone finished giving their answers, they turned their attention to Howard. Liesel smirked. The small drone gently nudged her shoulder before settling there lazily. Strangely, the little device seemed to exude an air of indifference. It was almost as if it had its own personality.Howard looked up. His fingers were idly toying with the

The group's faces turned crimson. Their self-esteem was crushed under the weight of Howard's unrelenting words. Yet, they had to admit that Howard's criteria for selecting a partner were undeniably sound.Whether or not Liesel was truly exceptional, her ability to align seamlessly with his direction already placed her miles ahead of the rest.If they stirred up trouble now, they would only succeed in further embarrassing themselves.What made it worse was the presence of senior executives from competing firms. Any scene they caused would only amplify their disgrace. If the ground could swallow them whole, they would have gladly disappeared into the earth.Felix, meanwhile, silently thanked his lucky stars that he hadn't participated in answering the questions. Otherwise, it would have been humiliating.It was no wonder Liesel had risen so quickly. She must have grasped Howard's intentions long before the tests even began. Her ability to read people and position herself strategical

Liesel's true capabilities had always been underestimated. Many of the choices she made in life weren't born out of passion but necessity. For instance, despite her lack of interest in business or finance, she chose to major in finance.It wasn't because she wanted to get closer to Jacob. It was because she needed a faster way to accumulate wealth and climb to the top, where power and influence awaited.Liesel understood one unshakable truth: to have a voice of her own, she couldn't depend on anyone. Though her heart yearned for research, being a woman meant she was often seen as less capable. Few would trust her talent.Even if she achieved something groundbreaking, her name might be erased and replaced by some highly regarded figure in the field. In such a reality, she might be reduced to working in the shadows. She might become nothing more than a ghostwriter for others' successes.It was this awareness of the industry's darker side that prompted Liesel to study finance. She w

After seeing this kind of video, there was no way that people would go back to accepting normal video platforms and 2D videos. Howard leaned against the wall with a leisurely smile on his face. "You might have wondered why I picked Liesel, but I believe everyone knows the reason now."She is a financial guru who knows everything about the research equipment and is able to keep up with my pace. That's not all. She has even developed 3D conversion software on her own. Everyone, it's a no-brainer."He pushed his glasses up his nose. His eyes were slightly amused."When I have a question, I can't be made to wait several days for my partner to crunch the numbers for further discussion. I'm not someone with that much patience. I'm sure you understand, Mr. Fernsby, Ms. Turner."Of course, they understood!Cooper's expression turned dark. Great terror was hiding in the depths of his eyes.When it came to video platforms, Solstice Inc. also had their own. Times weren't the same as a dec

Liesel suddenly hugged Belinda. Because of her miscarriage, her body had gotten a lot weaker and skinnier. Still, she still felt soft and carried a sweet fragrance. Even someone as powerful as her could still be so sweet."You will also meet the person who's best for you, I promise."Belinda's eyelashes fluttered, and her lips curved into a smile.After a moment, she nodded solemnly. Her chin dug into Liesel's shoulder.Cooper was speechless.What?Hadn't Belinda just been on his side, launching attacks against Liesel with him? Just like that, she had retreated? What was this?Cooper put on a faux smile. He waited until Liesel and Belinda pulled away from their hug before saying faintly, "Ms. Sharp, after this is over, would you have some time to discuss a collaboration with me?"Naturally, the collaboration was about glasses-free 3D technology.Liesel couldn't stifle a laugh. She was beautiful when she smiled, but this time, the smile didn't reach her eyes. It was a fake smil

Actually, Liesel knew that she shouldn't accept this gift, but… this belonged to Howard. Howard must have something he wanted to tell her, and perhaps he'd hidden it in this drone. However, due to the security team following her around, he could only go for the second-best option and give her the drone so that she could investigate it in private.She pushed the joystick, and Howie flew around her while emitting a slight buzz. Then, she pressed a round button on the top left corner, and Howie let out a couple of beeps.Unable to control her facial expression, she broke into a grin.In truth, she liked these things, even since childhood.Smiling, she raised her gaze only to meet Jacob's dark eyes. She merely paused for a moment before her lips curved again. Then, she handed the remote control to Reuben. "Captain Buckner, please look after my gift. I want to bring this home."Reuben arched an eyebrow and nodded.Seeing that Liesel had accepted his gift, Howard let out a low chuckle.

"You know how it is. It's always hard to strike a deal between two smart people."Charles laughed.He knew that when Liesel suggested a partnership with Ford Corporation to manufacture anti-cancer drugs, it was actually a huge trap.Liesel and Howard were both researchers. Who could say for sure that after they gave Ford Corporation the drug formula, they wouldn't refine the drug further and make something even more effective?Considering Liesel's and Howard's intelligence, there would undoubtedly be a more potent version of the drug. However, Liesel would never choose to continue working together with Ford Corporation. Therefore, he had decided to ask for a mile. He had asked to collaborate on the artificial intelligence project.It wasn't that he was being greedy.It was because Ford Corporation wasn't the same as it had been a year ago. He had to tread very carefully to avoid falling for someone's scheme again.Without Liesel and Drew, there were many tasks that only he and

"Do you not want to hug?" Liesel cocked her head at him. "Don't think I don't know you. I bet you already wanted to kiss me and hold me the moment you spotted Jacob. Otherwise, you wouldn't have tightened your arms around me."Hadn't Elijah done that to send Jacob a message that Liesel belonged to him?Having been together for so long, there wasn't anything that she didn't understand about him."In that case, thank you for giving me a chance and playing along." Since he couldn't think of an excuse, he just came clean. There was even a look of amusement on his face.He pulled her into his arms affectionately. She also hugged him back, like she was a child staking her territory."Should we add some more spice and kiss?"This was really becoming more and more provocative.Why not?A smile appeared on Elijah's face, as if he was saying to her, "Bring it on."And she did. She peppered Elijah's face with continuous pecks. Then, she yanked on his collar, like she was claiming him as

From a short distance away, Jacob could see Elijah's arm curled around Liesel's tiny waist. She seemed very dependent on him as she lay in his arms listlessly. It was a stark contrast to the way she behaved in public with other people.Whether it was with reporters or business partners, she always seemed like a steady pillar of strength. She was graceful and calm, but there was a hidden sharpness within her.Anyone who interacted with her could feel the hidden threat that was lurking inside of her.Yet, the Liesel now seemed to have shed all the sharp spikes on her body, revealing only the soft insides. She appeared gentle and submissive… Or rather, she only showed this side of her to her lover.He should have been the one to get all of this.He should have been her lover.He was the one who'd thrown all of this away. All he could do was watch as Elijah purposely pissed him off.He was a man too. Of course, he knew that Elijah was doing it on purpose.Of course, he resented Eli

Elijah seized Liesel's wrists while chuckling coldly. "So what if you're someone's wife? If I wanted you, all I'd have to do is tell him. Then, he'd definitely have someone clean you up nicely and send you straight into my bed."He lifted her chin with his finger. "Do you think that your husband is a decent man? Do you think that he'd disobey me for you?"Liesel swallowed. She was enraptured by the look in Elijah's eyes right now.He nibbled on her ear while patting her panicked and pale face. "If you're obedient, I'll treat you well. If you're unwilling to play along and make me happy, I'll kill your husband and lock you up in my home. You'll never see the light of day again."Stripping off her clothes, Liesel bit his earlobe and whispered, "It's such a waste that you didn't go into the acting industry with Chelsea."Elijah chuckled quietly, letting her hands roam all over him. They left a trail of fire in their wake. When he was all riled up and ready to go, Liesel suddenly hugg

Liesel left.Charles gazed at the still-warm cup of tea on the table. There was a chilling look in his eyes.This was one of the times he'd made the wrong move.After walking out of Charles' office, Liesel wasn't surprised to see Jacob. However, she didn't even stop and simply walked out.He trailed after her leisurely until she was nearly out of Ford Corporation. Just as he was about to call out to her, he heard a cheerful, gentle voice calling her name."Lili, I'm here to pick you up." Jacob's eyes darkened. When he looked up, he saw Elijah sitting in a wheelchair and smiling at Liesel.Liesel didn't mind at all that he was a cripple. With a grin on her face, she crouched down next to him. Then, she grabbed his hand and placed it against her cheek.Jacob's chest clenched when he saw that. It felt like arrows piercing his heart.Liesel could still feel Jacob's eyes on her, but she didn't care. She even pecked Elijah lightly on the lips in front of Jacob. Then, while pushing

"Charles, even though we worked together for three years, you still don't understand me at all."Liesel tapped her fingers against the desk. While it was quiet, it also sounded indescribably threatening."Have you not seen what happened to Dash?"If someone tries to snatch something from me, not only will I make their wishes come true, but I'll also make them pay the price."You can only take what I give you. If you insist on snatching what I'm unwilling to give… then you will find out the price you'll have to pay."She grinned, but it carried an obvious iciness.Dash was indeed the best example.He had tried to snatch collaboration opportunities from her, so she squashed him. And that wasn't all. She also bought his land and assets from him for dirt cheap.Dash tried to steal her data and establish his own vehicle manufacturing plant in Draskia, so she simply chased him and all his businesses out of Draskia.Anyone who tried to plot against her and steal from her suffered hor

"If you have something that even Jacob doesn't, you must be very loyal to him.""Thanks for the compliment." Charles chuckled quietly. "Of course, I am loyal to Mr. Ford. It's because I'm loyal to Mr. Ford that I kept the evidence just in case."If Matthew decided to betray Mr. Ford one day, then I could use this to retaliate against him. After all, you also know that Matthew is far from a nice person."Jacob placed a lot of importance on Matthew because his parents had passed away early, so he'd been raised by Matthew and Vincent since he was younger. He ended up viewing Matthew as somewhat of a father figure. His love for his family had ended up blinding him, making him unwilling to bring harm to Matthew.However, Charles was different. He didn't have any significant feelings toward Matthew. He only cared about protecting Jacob's interests.Matthew was a selfish person who only cared about his own interests. This was why Charles had gone against Jacob's orders and kept the evi

If it had been Elijah who'd done this, what would Liesel have done?Could she still be so righteous?However, Jacob's words only made her stifle a laugh. Without even turning around, she said sardonically, "If Elijah was this kind of person, then I would never have gotten together with him."Whether it comes to family or lovers, first of all, they should have the right principles. They should know what they should or shouldn't do."Even a child can tell what's right from wrong, but an adult like Matthew doesn't know where to draw the line. Jacob, one day he will pay the price for everything that he's done."In the end, Jacob didn't stop her from leaving.He couldn't help but clench his fists. His eyes darkened.Liesel had always been strongly opposed to evil. Making things worse, Drew was the scapegoat for Matthew's misdeeds this time.Over the years, Jacob had already gotten Matthew out of trouble countless times. He was getting tired of it.He really wanted to call out to Li

Natalie wanted to destroy Ford Corporation as soon as possible.Once there was a new leader in Ford Corporation, would Jacob still be so arrogant?Natalie laughed coldly. Then, she remembered the words she heard in the hospital, and her expression frosted over.She thought that since she was already in the same boat as Edward, and that Edward might become the future leader of Ford Corporation, she could go for him instead.After all, Edward was tall and handsome. In her eyes, he wasn't inferior to Jacob at all.However, she never thought… that Edward already had a lover, and that it was his sister, Ophelia, of all people.Till today, she still remembered how that bitch, Ophelia, had once insulted her because of her background. To defend Liesel, Ophelia had mocked her for being a bastard child.How come Ophelia deserved to be with Edward? They were siblings! Even if they weren't related by blood, they had still grown up as brother and sister. Weren't they afraid of getting expose
