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.

"Shut up!" Ophelia yelled in a rage.She immediately asked the food truck owner to give her another cup of coffee before pouring it all over Veronica's calf. She was paying her back an eye for an eye.Agonized, Veronica swayed on her feet. Then, she collapsed onto the ground while gnashing her teeth in pain.Ophelia had been raised by none other than the demon himself, Edward. Since she was little, he would always stand in front of her to protect her. Ophelia knew better than anyone how he liked to deal with matters.After Edward left, she had picked up a few things from him. Naturally, she would never let herself get bullied by others."Give me a serving of fries, a taco, some churros, and a hotdog." Ophelia pointed at the menu items on the food truck and rattled on about her order to the owner, who was gaping at her.Ignoring the probing gazes of the people around her, she minded her own business and brought some fries to her mouth. Only then did she feel herself come back to l

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

Jacob could really be heinous.Who wanted to listen to Veronica's blabbering?Most people thought that Tobey was sly, cold, and heartless. However, they didn't know that Jacob was the one who was truly wicked.In his youth, he had once been kidnapped because one of the medicines that the Ford family manufactured had threatened to undermine the profits of others. 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. And, Ophelia was his beloved little sister.How could he let Yvonne off the hook for scheming against Ophelia? He had to teach Yvonne that the world could be a harsh place.Not only was Yvonne stupid, but she was also very unfortunate.At first, Jacob could still tolerate how Yvonne had used Ophelia. 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
