Chapter 582

Author: Cloud Drop
"As far as I know, the son of the wealthiest man of the neighboring city, Thomas Keller, is in Ashthorne and even working for Hardin Group. My people tell me that he has been watching Liesel. Elijah, don't you feel threatened?" Tobey asked, going straight to the point.

Feel threatened?

Of course, Elijah did.

However, he just thought that it was true that he didn't deserve Liesel.

"You're overthinking." Elijah's eyes turned gloomy, and he didn't seem to want to continue the conversation.

Seeing him like this made Tobey scoff in anger. "Fine, do whatever you want. I can't control you."

He left in a huff.

Elijah didn't move. He remained on the balcony, gazing at the tall buildings and twinkling lights.

Tobey left the private room. From afar, he spotted Liesel leaning against a wall while talking leisurely on the phone. She seemed to be handling a work matter.

He stalked over and snatched the phone out of her hands. Liesel was stunned for a moment. Nonetheless, when she saw Tobey,

    "You say that you're Elijah's best friend. Well then, tell me what I should do in this situation. What do I need to do to help Elijah go back to his free-spirited and untamed self?"Do you want me to spend every day by his side, telling him that I love him? Is that enough? Would he believe me if I just repeated those words?"Rather than repeating myself, why not fix his legs and help him stand again? Only by helping him stand on his two feet again would he naturally return to the Elijah that we all know so well instead of the Elijah who's nearly depressed and down in the dumps!"It's because he loves me that he thinks that he doesn't deserve me with his legs broken. He wants to give me the best things in the world, and that includes the best lover. He's only like this because he doesn't think he's good enough."And because I love him, I will help him stand up again, no matter what it takes. Only when he stands up again will he fight for things again and have my back again."Liesel

    "Lili has always been the best." Elijah's affectionate laugh sounded over the phone. After a moment, his voice turned cold again. "Who said you could talk to Liesel like that? You were practically interrogating her like she was a criminal. Are you out of your mind, Tobey? So what if Lili loves power and status? Do you care about those things?"After having a moment of clarity, Elijah began shooting arrows at Tobey, forgetting that that was his best friend he was talking to.Tobey was at a loss for words.Fine, his concern was not needed. Elijah can go and cuddle up to his lover!With a cold expression, Tobey hung up. He rubbed his face and wondered if he indeed was out of his mind. He shouldn't have been concerned about those two. They were a match made in heaven who were deeply in love; no one could separate them.Tobey let out a scoff and then sighed internally.He hoped that Liesel was really capable of helping Elijah stand again…Liesel settled the contract with Tobey and

    "Ms. Sharp, you must foster such a capable employee," one of the senior executives who didn't get along with Liesel said, garnering everyone's agreement.How did Liesel feel, knowing that she'd been surpassed by someone younger than her?Was the position that she'd gotten because of her good looks secure? Did she feel threatened having met someone with true capabilities? Would she be able to sleep soundly at night in the upcoming days?Richard clapped slowly with mockery written all over his face.Up until now, he thought that Liesel had only reached this level because of her looks.Austin quickly thanked Liesel for giving him this chance.However, his gratitude felt more like a jab at Liesel.He clearly hadn't gone through Liesel, Howard, or anyone in the research department before submitting the document to Elijah. No matter whether it was intentional or not, he was already opposing Liesel and putting her in an awkward position.What kind of leader would allow their reports t

    Austin stood next to Liesel. His gaze flitted between the other senior executives and his direct manager. He looked terrified, as if he'd been bullied by Liesel numerous times already.Everyone else shot Liesel meaningful looks. Suddenly, Liesel had become the central figure in this whirlpool, like she had been the one who caused everything to go wrong.Liesel kept a smile on her face."Enough. Liesel is now the CEO of Hardin Group; she has the right to make any decision!" Elijah said coldly.Elijah's older brother, Sam, spoke up gently. "Elijah, since you've already given your authority to your fiance, then you don't have the right to express your opinion. The shareholders are questioning Liesel, not you. You should understand that.""Exactly. You gave all your shares and assets to Liesel, so why are you getting involved? Also, wasn't it your assistant who'd sent us this proposal and asked for this meeting?""Everyone knows that Liesel is your fiance. Before we even said anythin

    Liesel was smiling, but her expression told a different story—"You can express your opinion, but I am definitely not budging."The shareholders turned pale. Yes, they had somehow forgotten about Liesel's power of influence and wide network.The proposal that Austin had shared earlier was now completely unusable.Today's meeting wasn't actually a meeting. It was a stage that Liesel had set up for Austin to put on a show.Austin was the main actor, while everyone else here was part of the supporting cast. On the other hand, Liesel and Elijah were the audience who already knew the truth behind it all.The brave one, the villain, and the righteous one took turns appearing like characters in a play. Coming together for a group performance, they tried to work together to rip chunks of flesh from her body. It was truly a lively and ridiculous spectacle.Liesel was satisfied with the show that she'd just watched. After she'd played everyone as she had planned, she slowly applauded. She s

    However, Liesel was different. With her current abilities and status, she was already a threat to many.Even Hardin Group was about to change to the Sharp family name.The Hardins were among those most upset by this.Richard flipped through the contract and forced a smile. The other senior executives also wore dark looks and unreadable expressions.If Elijah really transferred all the authority to Liesel, then what was the point of having senior executives? In the future, they would have to obey her instructions and rely on her for their livelihood. How ridiculous!In response to that, Liesel kept her composure. She acted as if she wasn't that excited by this.It was the truth. She had Shifter Corporation, so she never thought highly of Hardin Group to begin with."Elijah, rather than transferring all the power to Liesel, why not give it to the Hardin family and other executives? Ultimately, there's a limit to Liesel's abilities. If something really went wrong, then who would ta

    At that moment, someone who was colluding with Richard was also feeling wary, but he had no choice but to put on a smile of admiration. However, on the inside, he was scheming about how to tear Liesel down.Liesel didn't say much today, but every time she opened her mouth, it was a direct stab to someone's heart.Sitting in the seat of higher management was like stepping into a warzone. Naturally, Liesel wasn't going to show kindness to her enemies, so she had always been ruthless with her attacks.Austin displayed great mental fortitude by still being able to stand. However, he had lost control of his expression. His face was bright red as if it could burst with a slight poke. He felt ashamed.Richard stood up so harshly that he nearly sent his chair toppling backward. He looked embarrassed by the screeching noise that sounded.Liesel was too powerful. In less than a few years, the entire Hardin Group would belong to her, not just the CEO position. She would even slowly get back

    Only then did Liesel put on a smile and kiss him beside his ear. "Wait for me at home."Upon hearing that, Elijah gave her palm a squeeze before letting her go.Austin observed them from afar, not daring to go closer.Liesel's gaze swept over him. Her eyes glinted slightly.She had set up the stage for him to put on a show. Then, once it was over, she had torn it down so that he'd fall.She hadn't done that because she was petty and couldn't allow a subordinate to surpass her. She had other ideas.A desperate dog would try to jump over a wall, and a distressed rabbit would try to kick a hawk. A person would naturally lose their composure when they were anxious. Liesel wanted to see what Austin's real intention was.The elevator opened, and Liesel's subordinates entered one after another. Austin followed then, shrinking stiffly in a corner. They were all colleagues from the same department, but there was a clear divide between the two camps.Some were already quietly criticizing

    "I remember you saying that you thought of Ophelia as your sister, then you got together with her. Are you trying to commit incest?" Jacob said mockingly. He was cutting straight to the chase.Before Edward could respond, Jacob asked Ophelia, "Since you like CEO and brother-sister literature so much, can you swear on your life that you were imagining Edward and not me?"Of course, he had to throw snide remarks at both of them.His mouth was truly venomous.He didn't even give Edward a chance to explain before sending another blade through his heart. "Didn't you say that you would take care of Ophelia for the rest of your life? "The Ford family sent you abroad to study, but you came back only to commit incest. It seems like you didn't learn much while you were overseas. If anything, the only thing you picked up overseas was loose morals toward love."Edward's smile stiffened. "Jacob, Ophelia and I have already talked about it. We aren't related by blood, and this is between us."

    When Ophelia didn't ask further, Edward rubbed her back and asked, "Are you hungry? If you want to grab a bite, shall we head to Heritage Hotel?""I want to check out the food market at Alden University, and I want you to carry me." She paused to think for a moment. "Piggybacking is also fine."It seemed like Veronica's tantrum hadn't reduced her enthusiasm for the food market. Edward was relieved that it hadn't ruined her mood."Is the food there clean? I thought Jacob said no street food." The reason he brought up Jacob's name was because he knew that he would be defenseless against Ophelia's cuteness.Jacob also happened to be the only person that Ophelia was truly afraid of.Still, Ophelia didn't take it seriously. "He's not even here. He won't know if I secretly have some."As soon as she said that, a cold voice sounded from not far away."What is it that I won't know?"The person slowly emerging from the shadows was none other than Jacob.Videos of the incident between O

    Edward narrowed his eyes, sensing that something wasn't right.What could make Denzel so cautious?"Will you tell me when we get home?" Edward patted Ophelia's head. The latter leaned into his touch guiltily.Denzel massaged his forehead.Whatever. The sooner they went away, the better. He didn't want to watch them be all lovey-dovey in front of him.After they left, the janitor sanitized the office. Denzel had no more work for the night except for the discussion that he had with Jacob tonight.Just as he thought about Jacob, he called."What does your text mean? What do you mean, 'Sorry for my beloved'?"Denzel was quiet for a moment. "Have you not seen the trends on Twitter in the past two days?"Jacob was even more puzzled after he checked. Besides the news about Ophelia getting bullied by Yvonne, there was nothing else. Wasn't he already handling this matter? Or could there be something else that he didn't know about?"Are you not aware that Edward and Ophelia were trendi

    Meanwhile, in the long term, Dash would be a concern. Dash had a lot of nasty tricks up his sleeve. While he might not dare to piss Liesel off now, he most likely wouldn't let Ford Corporation off the hook.Of course, Edward knew all of this.It was because he knew this that he spent such a long time abroad, hiding from Ophelia. Still, he hadn't been able to control his feelings for her. He couldn't bring himself to let go of her.He didn't have any greater aspirations in this lifetime. He only wished that he could help Ophelia reach the stars. Then, he'd stay by her side and protect her. Anything else was outside his consideration."I know the consequences." Edward gazed down at Ophelia with a gentle smile."If Ophelia didn't like me or have feelings for me, I would be willing to just stay by her side and never cross that line. However, I'm fortunate that the person I love also loves me back. "Thus, no matter what the future brings, I can handle it."I think about how brightly

    Denzel sent Jacob a text that said, "Sorry about your beloved."Jacob, who was already headed to the hospital to have a discussion with Denzel, was taken aback when he read the message.What did that mean?Before Denzel could explain, the door opened. Inside, Edward was hugging Ophelia.Denzel had a strange look in his eyes. He looked like he wanted to say something but was holding back. However, Edward didn't overthink it. He merely thanked Denzel and prepared to leave the hospital with Ophelia.Upon hearing that, Denzel's smile froze. "You're welcome."For some reason, it sounded like he was seething. It even sounded a little like "fuck off".Nevertheless, Edward didn't think too much of it. However, he overheard Denzel instructing the janitor to sanitize the entire office, especially the bed and the couch.Edward was speechless. So that was why Denzel had been so hostile earlier.Despite his typically calm and refined demeanor, Edward was furious and embarrassed. "I didn't

    Edward had the foresight to turn Ophelia's face toward him so that Denzel's smile was no longer directed at her.Denzel was speechless.All of Denzel's elderly patients wanted to make him their son-in-law, while the young women would secretly fall for his good looks and dream of marrying him. And that wasn't all. There had even been young men who had been so charmed by his smile that they kept asking if he was also into guys.Therefore, Edward didn't want his future fiance to even look at Denzel for a second too long. In his eyes, Denzel was a seductive devil, which was why he had the nickname "Denzel Medusa".Thus, Edward said shamelessly, "If you're done with the wound dressing, then you may leave. I want to discuss some things with Ophelia and also get some rest."Denzel wished he could cut ties with Edward and have the hospital blacklist him.He massaged the spot between his eyebrows. "This is my office."Without any hesitation, Edward asked, "Aren't you single?"In this

    "It's my fault. I'll definitely pay attention next time." Edward felt very guilty and sorry."So you want me to get hurt again?" Ophelia tugged on the silver chain around Edward's neck. Her eyes twinkled.She had bought this necklace for him when she was younger. She remembered that it had come with an oval locket, inside which she had inserted a photo of her getting hugged by him on her own accord.She couldn't really remember what the photo looked like anymore, but she had a rough idea. She had picked the photo that she thought she looked the best in.At the time, she had still been really young, but she had been inspired by a television show. She thought that by giving a family member or a lover a gift, they would always think of her whenever they looked at it.Kids were always naive like that. She thought that since he would think of her when he saw her gift anyway, she might as well put a picture of herself inside.Thus, the young Ophelia had picked out a silver necklace and

    As if she could sense something, Ophelia looked up. Her indifferent gaze suddenly lit up, and her eyes curved as she smiled.Edward's throat tightened. At this moment, he didn't know whether to feel frustration or heartache.He had been a little late, and Ophelia had ended up getting bullied by a crazy old woman.Edward walked to her side and squeezed her hand gently. Ophelia had no intention of wasting her breath on Veronica. She was waiting for Edward to come and handle her.She pointed at Veronica and said straightforwardly, "She's bullying me."Without a second thought, she continued, "She accused me of bullying her daughter, Yvonne, which is why she came to stir up trouble."Edward frowned. The Ford family didn't have much of a partnership with the Zima family, and Edward had spent a few years studying abroad. The older generation never got to see him much, so Veronica naturally didn't recognize Edward as Matthew's adopted son.Thus, she just assumed that he was another For

    "I'm not interested in getting revenge on a celebrity I used to be a fan of. If your daughter received any retribution, it's only because even God couldn't let it continue."If you have so much free time, it would benefit you more to come to church with me instead."Ophelia was about to walk off when Veronica leaped forward. She held onto Ophelia's leg again and refused to allow her to leave. "No, you can't walk away! Yvonne said that she doesn't have a future in the industry anymore after making you angry."You have to forgive her! Aren't you a fan? You can't just stop supporting her. You have to keep liking her. As the daughter of the Ford family, you can give her more opportunities, and she will definitely be able to rise again!" Veronica roared maniacally.Ophelia let out an exasperated chuckle. All of a sudden, she felt like the entire Zima family was full of lunatics.Unable to hold back anymore, she said angrily, "Yvonne has committed a crime. Do you think I'm moronic enoug
