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

Was Elijah worried, knowing that Thomas had feelings for Liesel?Liesel felt slightly uncomfortable. She would rather Elijah directly tell her not to stop talking to Thomas. Regardless of whether Elijah was angry or jealous, she did not want him to bottle up his feelings. He must have been so jealous to see her interacting with Thomas.Liesel pursed her lips, but her expression remained unchanged. She slowly walked toward the table, wondering how she should make Thomas give up on her. She didn't want to bring up the topic all of a sudden. What if she and Elijah had guessed wrong? That was possible as well. Upon realizing that she was back, Thomas quickly pulled out the chair beside him. She stopped in her tracks for a moment before taking the seat next to him. "I'll peel these crawfish for you." Thomas put on some gloves, and Liesel did as well."Don't touch anything. These crawfish are really hot, so don't touch them. Let me peel them. I'm not afraid of the heat." Thomas sn

Within a few minutes, Liesel's bowl was filled with crawfish meat. There were only a few pieces of crawfish in Thomas' bowl. He only began filling his bowl with more crawfish upon realizing she was looking at him.He didn't mind starving and not eating a single bite as long as he could do anything for her. Not only was he smiling, but his eyes lit up with joy."Thomas, you actually don't have to peel crawfish for me." Liesel pushed her bowl of crawfish meat before him and continued earnestly, "In the future, you'll meet someone who will willingly peel crawfish for you."Thomas stopped peeling crawfish and looked up at her in confusion. He had no idea why she suddenly brought that up."I was once married. You know that, right?" Liesel brought up her painful past to Thomas right away. To her, Thomas must have genuinely fallen for her because he assumed she had never been married before. If he became aware that she was once married to Jacob, he would definitely back off and give up

Thomas never thought he would be rejected indirectly before he could even confess his feelings for Liesel. He continued eating his supper absentmindedly. After he finished supper, Liesel drove him to the entrance of a mid-range residential complex. "How much is the monthly rent here?" Liesel glanced at the condominium not far away."Two thousand dollars a month." Thomas sat in the passenger seat while hugging the grey kitten tightly. He was reluctant to get out of the car. "After paying rent, do you have enough to spend every month?" Liesel did not rush Thomas out of the car. Instead, she rolled down the windows a little so the car remained ventilated. She did not mention Thomas' identity and merely brought up a question laced with a meaningful undertone. "I don't smoke or drink. I only play games, so I have enough to spend." Since Cameron already canceled Thomas' secondary card long ago, Thomas hadn't lied about living off his own salary."Sounds easy for you." Liesel gazed at

"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
