Chapter 586

Author: Cloud Drop
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

    The employees knew that if it weren't for Liesel securing such a substantial budget, they wouldn't be receiving doubled bonuses. They might even receive twice the amount of their bonuses at the end of the year. "Thank you, Ms. Sharp!""Ms. Sharp, you've been working overtime at the research department lately. Why don't you go back and rest? You don't have to work overtime tonight.""Exactly. Let us handle the budget report." Several employees hurried over and genuinely voiced their concerns. Perhaps that was simply Liesel's charm. She could be assertive and intimidate others, but she also knew how to reassure them gently. Liesel knew when to be firm or gentle. She would seize any opportunity that arose so she could climb ranks faster. In comparison to Liesel, Austin was still too inexperienced. He stood at the same spot and watched her leave with a darkened gaze. No one knew what was on his mind. Liesel walked into Howard's office, followed by his drone. "A warm welcome t

    Once Liesel left Hardin Group, she received a call from Thomas. She paused for a moment and did not answer the call. Although she didn't care about him lying to her, she really hated being tricked. Since he hadn't taken the initiative to bring up the matter, she did not plan to expose him either. She would merely subtly keep her distance from him.Not only was there no moon that night but there were very few stars. Since it was already September, the wind was slightly strong, and the temperature had started to drop. Liesel put on her blazer and buttoned it up before heading for the parking lot.Thomas sat under a dim street light, carrying a grey kitten in his arms. Liesel paused for a moment before hurrying toward him.Once she got closer, she noticed that Thomas had unzipped his jacket and wrapped the kitten tightly inside. Although the kitten was nestled within his warm embrace, it was still shivering as the wind was slightly chilly.Liesel's nonchalant gaze unconsciously soft

    "Did you ride a motorcycle to work?" Liesel couldn't help but scowl when she noticed the helmet on the ground.There was nothing wrong with motorcycles. Liesel was merely worried that the kitten would fall sick if Thomas took it around on his motorcycle in the cold weather.Thomas picked up the helmet and put it on. "Yeah. I like riding motorcycles."Thomas was telling the truth. Cameron had purchased more than ten sports cars for him, and Thomas had left them gathering dust in the garage. Liesel couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. She had recalled the rumors about Thomas liking racing. A chilly breeze whistled loudly, sweeping past them. Liesel snatched the helmet away from Thomas and walked to her own car. "It's a bit cold today. Get in my car. Once we've bought everything, I'll drop you and the kitten off at your place."Thomas turned back to look at the corner where he had parked the beloved motorcycle he had assembled on his own. He wiped his face, feeling secretly plea

    The waiter bent down and wiped the table and chairs a few more times before replying politely, "Of course, you can. "We set up these tables outside so people can have a bite after walking their dogs. It's okay to bring your pet as long as you keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't disturb other customers."Liesel finally sat down and reached for the menu. She then asked Thomas, "Do you want some beer?""You can't drink since you're driving. It's no fun for me to drink on my own." Thomas unzipped his jacket and took the kitten out to place it on the chair next to him. "What do you want to eat?" Liesel passed him the menu."You should order first, Ms. Sharp." Thomas handed the menu back to Liesel, who ordered a glass of hot milk. No hot milk was available at that restaurant, yet the waiter had intentionally hurried next door to buy some milk and serve it to Liesel.Thomas became slightly disgruntled upon noticing that the waiter's gaze was fixed on Liesel. Meanwhile, she ha

    "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
