"Looks like Jeffrey thinks way too highly of himself. He really thought he was Heather's husband. No wonder he's got such a grudge against Xavier. What a joke! Doesn't he ever look in the mirror and wonder if he's even worthy of Heather's affection?"These were the mocking comments from people in the circle who had seen Heather before.Some younger folks, not understanding why Heather could stir such a huge uproar in the network, asked, "What makes Heather so special?"Before they even knew it, an old photo from a decade ago surfaced.It was a black-and-white picture. But the moment anyone looked at it, their eyes would be drawn to the person in the center, as if her presence alone illuminated the entire space.She wore a simple black evening dress, but she shone like the brightest star in the night sky. The dress perfectly hugged her graceful figure, and her face was like something out of a masterful painting. Her beauty was unforgettable.Her eyebrows were like strokes of art,

"My dad has terminal colon cancer, and he's in so much pain every night he can't sleep. The chemotherapy isn't helping. The doctors have told me to take him home to spend his final days with family."My dad is the most respected person in my life. I can't live without him. I've spent all our family's savings just to try to keep him alive. Hardin Group, I beg you to give my dad a chance."The official Hardin Group Twitter was flooded with similar messages from families of cancer patients, all pleading for a chance at life for their loved ones.Meanwhile, in a rundown house in the remote Crullfeld region, a young man sat at a simple, tidy table while staring intently at the latest Hardin Group tweet on his phone. Tears threatened to fall from his eyes."Damian, you can be saved! You can be saved! Hardin Group has developed a real anticancer drug, and they're looking for volunteers for the trial. You'll surely get better if you take this medicine!"The old house was sparsely decorate

"Damian! Liesel Sharp replied! She asked me to bring you to Hardin Group! It's Liesel Sharp who replied to me!"Liesel Sharp…Damian froze. He remembered that name.Two years ago, when he was working at the Ashthorne construction site building a hotel for Ford Corporation, he had come into close contact with Liesel.He vividly recalled that late night when he sat in the security booth, reading a book under the dim light.Liesel, who was inspecting the site as an executive of Ford Corporation, had seen him reading but hadn't scolded him. Instead, she flipped through the book he was reading and praised his taste.Before leaving, she had said, "If you get the chance, continue your studies."She even left him a business card and told him, "If you ever need help, you can contact me or reach out to the Alden University Foundation. Someone will assist you."Since Damian was still young, Liesel didn't want him to waste his life.But at that time, it was the most crucial time for Hendr

The senior executives at Hardin Group, who were furious over Liesel's lavish spending to help ordinary people, stormed in to question her about her motives.At that moment, Liesel was engaged in a heated argument with Howard in the research department over some herbs. The executives barged in just as the tension between the two reached its peak.Howard's face darkened after being sharply rebuked by Liesel. Standing off to the side, he glanced at the executives and clicked his tongue. "They're here for you. Deal with them first, then we'll talk."Liesel frowned. "What's this about?"One of the executives snapped, "What do you think? Liesel, why are you spending so much money on saving those ordinary people?"You and Howard may have come up with the anticancer drug, but those herbs don't come cheap! Do you think you're some sort of charity case, handing out money? This is Hardin Group's money!""Exactly," another chimed in. "I've never seen anyone so generous when it comes to R&D."

"Right, Elijah is your lover, so his things are naturally yours," Howard said, biting into his candy and slyly snatching the data sheets Liesel was working on. He began scribbling notes on it with his pen.Liesel was rendered speechless by his actions.Rubbing her temples, she said, "Howard, just because you take this doesn't mean I'll blindly follow your advice. We need to stick to the data and analyze it properly."Howard, who was unperturbed, pressed on with his argument. "But pyraflora clearly works faster than cryophloem. We're treating cancer patients, right? If we need to destroy cancer cells, we need the most powerful herbs.""Have you considered that the faster-acting herbs come with more side effects?" Liesel asked. "Cancer patients already have weakened immune systems. If we use a drug that acts quickly, it may kill the cancer cells, but it could also kill the patient."People with cancer often have other underlying conditions. If such a potent drug can't be applicable

Anyone who insulted Heather online was almost immediately banned, and the account of that foreign company had already been investigated by several forces. Liesel couldn't help but wonder if this was the work of Heather's former suitors.How exceptional must Heather be to make these people remain obsessed with her after all these years?Howard didn't take the book off his face. His breathing was soft as though he hadn't even heard Liesel speak."Howard," Liesel called his name again.The lab was eerily silent, with only the sound of their breaths filling the space. The lights were too bright, almost blinding.Howard lowered the book from his face and couldn't help blinking. His eyes burned, and a tear slipped from the corner. The sharp, bittersweet feeling rose from deep within him, leaving him at a loss."No one can resist a noble, perfect princess."He looked up. His gaze was fixed on the harsh light above him."Even the dirtiest maggot trapped in the mud would feel a burning

"Do you really think I'm worried?" Liesel countered. "She has a weakness."Jason was Heather's weakness.Howard pointed at his own head and looked at Liesel with a meaningful expression before saying, "She has a weakness, but do you not?"She only has one weakness. How many do you have? Forget about Heather. Anyone can threaten you with your own weaknesses. Don't you know that?"Like Matthew, the CEO of Solstice Inc., and Dash.Liesel's eyes darkened. Seeing her change expression, Howard decided to drop it. He calmly pulled out his phone.He was honestly tired of arguing with Liesel.In truth, he knew she had a point, but his pride wouldn't let him admit it. Tired of the bickering, he decided to scroll through his phone to unwind.Then, he saw Liesel's name appear on the trending list. The discussions were all about her offering free treatment to those in the late stages of cancer.Howard was stunned. "Are you serious? Wasn't what those old geezers said a joke? I thought you w

"You're selling yourself short. If the two of us combined had 800 schemes, it'd still be a fifty-fifty split," Liesel said.Howard pouted. He had nothing to retort. After all, he had tried to outmaneuver Liesel in the past.But Liesel and her circle were all cut from the same cloth. He found himself mentally dubbing her group as "the sieve crew," because their combined scheming could rival the number of holes in a sieve.As Liesel and Howard had predicted, the internet was in chaos. Social media was ablaze with people praising Liesel's generosity and using it as ammunition against Natalie. However, no one could tell whether it was Heather's team or Liesel pulling the strings."Natalie's nothing but a walking disaster. Wherever she goes, trouble follows!""Of course, she's a mess! What do you expect from the daughter of a homewrecker? She'll never be respectable!""Does Natalie actually think she can compete with Liesel? What, with her petty schemes? I'm no saint, but if I had Lie

"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
