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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Natalie was shocked.The man in her passenger seat finally opened his eyes. His gaze was calm yet piercing. His voice was composed."Ms. Sharp, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Edward Ford." He let out a tiny laugh. "I'm Jacob's younger brother."The words took her aback. Natalie didn't know much about Jacob, much less about a younger brother."I don't know you."Edward's smile deepened."I'm Matthew's adopted son, Edward. And Ophelia's brother."At the mention of Ophelia, Natalie's expression shifted. She vividly remembered the humiliation Ophelia had inflicted on her. The memory made her blood run cold."I don't know what you want from me. I don't know you, and I certainly have no connection to Ophelia. So, if you're here to amuse yourself at my expense, Mr. Ford, kindly leave my car.""Refusing me without even asking why I'm here? I expected more from you, Ms. Sharp," he said. His voice shifted lower as he leaned slightly closer."You're not the type to beg Jacob for love,

Natalie sat on the floor like a deranged woman. Her composure was long gone.She would get what she wanted no matter what.Jacob closed the browser on his computer.

"Can you afford to pay for this mistake?"...Natalie pushed open the door to Jacob's office.Her head was spinning as the harsh light inside stabbed at her eyes, bringing an involuntary shimmer of tears. She wiped the corners of her eyes, forcing herself to walk silently, toward the man seated at his desk.Jacob's computer screen was still on. The page in front of him was Liesel's Twitter post.It was a post of her blooming flowers on the balcony, a tray of delicate pastries, and a rainbow arching across the sky after a rainstorm.He was looking at Liesel.He was thinking about Liesel.He was in love with Liesel.His entire heart belonged to Liesel.Charles' venomous words echoed in Natalie's ears like a curse.

"You guys never gave me a choice," Drew said. His gaze locked onto Charles. His demeanor had long shed the gentle warmth he once carried when Liesel was at Ford Corporation."And if we had given you a choice?" Charles remained unshaken. His sharp eyes were fixed on Drew. "Would you have chosen loyalty to Ford Corporation and Mr. Ford? Would you have turned against Liesel?"Drew's eyes flickered. Charles got his answer from Drew's reaction alone."It wasn't that we didn't give you a chance. You let it slip through your fingers. The opportunity was there, you just didn't take it. Blame no one but yourself."Drew's closeness to Liesel had always been evident, but Drew's admiration for Liesel wasn't merely friendship. Jacob failed to notice it, but Charles did.Drew loved Liesel. There was no way he would do anything that would hurt her.When Liesel was hospitalized after Natalie's machinations led to her miscarriage, Drew, who rarely abandoned his work, dropped everything to rush to

"A bond?" Charles echoed with a mocking laugh. "You call extorting gratitude a bond?"Natalie had been using Jacob's favor to her advantage. Natalie's face turned ashen."You've got guts, Natalie," Charles continued. His taunts were relentless. "Back then, Dash's underhanded tricks couldn't drive a wedge between the Ford Corporation's Iron Triangle. But you managed to kick Liesel out, send the company's stock into a nosedive, and cause untold chaos."Really, your contributions can't be overstated."The sarcastic lilt in his voice deepened."People say beauty can bring ruin, but you? You're not even in the league of those so-called femme fatales. What a joke."Charles took a deliberate pause. He lowered his voice as he surveyed her with an expression that mingled disgust and disdain. "How long do you think it'll take Mr. Ford to grow tired of you? I'd wager not long. Soon enough, he'll see you for what you really are and leave you in the dust.""You don't understand us! Jake love

Since that fateful dinner party where Liesel had reappeared, Charles had silently worked to strip Drew of his influence at Ford Corporation. It was a calculated act of professional sabotage, one Drew recognized all too well. Drew was sure that Jacob knew about what Charles had done.Jacob's silence was approval.Liesel was right. Ford Corporation has changed. Jacob has changed. He no longer belonged there. Every extra day he stayed was its own kind of torment.Drew's grip tightened on the documents in his hands until the pages creased under the strain.Natalie, who had been watching Drew's silent turmoil, allowed herself a smug smile. But it didn't last. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Charles.He was leaning casually against the wall, idly toying with a bracelet someone had given him. Despite the glasses perched on his nose, his eyes gave him an unmistakably dangerous aura.His lips carried a faint smile that never showed in his eyes."There's something you sh

A cluster of secretaries from the secretarial department noticed Natalie passing by and immediately burst into mocking laughter.It was no secret they despised her. After all, Natalie had ousted Liesel.The secretarial pool in Ford Corporation could see through Natalie's cunning maneuvers. They were all from the same department, and Liesel had occasionally thrown smaller contracts their way, the ones she didn't deem worth her time. Yet those small contracts came with hefty bonuses and commissions.When Natalie pushed Liesel out, she directly disrupted their gravy train. That made them seethe with resentment every time they saw her.They used to talk behind Natalie's back, but now they did it in front of her. In the past, Natalie would've exploded in anger, but she held her tongue.

But as s

Natalie bit down hard on her lower lip and entered crazy mode. She grabbed a pillow and hurled it at Jeffrey, quickly followed by the shattered remains of the bedside lamp."Heather doesn't love you! She was never your wife, never your soulmate! Can't you wake up already? How long are you going to keep lying to yourself?"Jeffrey stood still as the lamp's wooden fragments struck his forehead. Blood trickled down, but he didn't seem to notice. He looked drained.Without a word, Jeffrey stumbled out of her room with unsteady footsteps. He cupped his hands over his ears as if trying to block out her voice to erase the painful truth Natalie hurled at him.Natalie collapsed onto the bed and curled into a ball. The reporters outside her villa were still shouting for her to come out. Natalie couldn't calm herself down under the chaos. Her hands shook as she gripped her phone to call the police.She couldn't take it anymore. She was about to lose her mind if they kept yelling at her.Twe

"Don't come looking for me again. From now on, I don't have a daughter. Go ahead and destroy yourself if you want, but don't drag me into it!" Angeline spat the words before slamming the phone down.Natalie felt as if her heart was being ripped apart. The pain was so intense she could barely breathe.She didn't know why everyone was blaming her. She wondered what she had done to deserve it.She had no idea about the truth behind Heather and Jeffrey's relationship. She truly believed Xavier was illegitimate. She genuinely thought Heather had betrayed Jeffrey. She admitted she wanted to ruin Xavier and Liesel, but how could she be blamed for acting on lies she didn't know were false?It wasn't her fault she was an illegitimate child. She couldn't understand why everyone acted as if the world's misfortunes were her fault.Her father blamed her. Her mother blamed her. The patients blamed her. It was as if her existence alone had dragged them all into misery.It was ridiculous to her.
