Reuben stood expressionless behind Liesel. He watched the scene unfold without taking any action. It was as if he were observing a farce.A police officer from the White-Collar Crime Division was sitting at Liesel's desk and typing quickly on the keyboard.Charlie Harper, the lead officer, stood beside Liesel and explained the situation. "This computer was clearly hacked. It seems that an email containing a Trojan virus was accidentally opened."At this point, we can't tell which email it was exactly. This hacker is highly skilled—far beyond the level of our technicians."Charlie sighed and shook his head.All the executives glared at Liesel. Their eyes were filled with condemnation.Richard, especially, shouted furiously, "Do you not realize your computer contains sensitive company secrets? I never open emails from unknown senders! You, a tech expert, actually opened one so casually? The company is facing a huge loss because of you, Liesel. You must take full responsibility!"T

Liesel remained unmoved. A lazy smile tugged at her lips as she slowly toyed with the pen in her hand with her slender fingers.All the reprimands were like whispers in the wind to her. Standing before her was Howard, a shield protecting her from the wind."How are you going to release a condemnation statement without evidence? Aren't you afraid Dash and Augustine will countersue Hardin Group for defamation? If we do as you said, Hardin Group and the other national enterprises will only fall deeper into crisis!"Reuben had seen enough. He couldn't stand watching Liesel being cornered, especially since she was Heather's daughter. After a brief pause, his voice turned cold as he questioned the room.His status demanded respect. As soon as he spoke, the entire room fell silent.Richard, who was stunned, lowered his head.He realized he had acted too agitated. Once public opinion was stirred up and Hardin Group failed to produce solid evidence, the police wouldn't cooperate in issuin

"Sure." Felix didn't hesitate."Shall we continue this conversation on the rooftop?" one of the senior shareholders asked as he pulled open the office door.Felix turned to look at Liesel as he silently sought her opinion.Liesel gave him a small nod. It was a subtle signal that she had things under control. Felix's tension eased instantly.With a calm and composed expression, he patted Liesel on the shoulder. "Be careful." Then, he strode toward the door.Liesel's gaze followed him, but she remained rooted to the spot.A whole crowd had stormed in moments ago, and now they left just as grandly.Meanwhile, officers from the White-Collar Crime Division dismantled every computer in sight in preparation to take them in for further examination.A thick stack of organized documents lay on the desk with dozens of names listed in black and white. They were all from the research department. Lying discreetly among them was Alisha's name.Austin's, however, had been completely cleared o

Charles' pupils dilated. For the first time in a long while, the ever-composed man felt a flicker of panic.But it lasted only a second. By the next moment, his expression was back to its usual calm indifference. "If you're talking about Drew, then yes—it hurt."Liesel's smile faded. The chill in her voice was unmistakable. "This has nothing to do with Drew, and you know it. So don't play dumb."It's about a dog you spent years training and grooming. But he turned around and bit you at the last moment. I imagine that must've been a deep wound."Her words were laced with venom. "You should be grateful Ford Corporation never got its hands on that intel. Otherwise, Ford Corporation would be regretting it. You all would be regretting it."Charles stared blankly at Liesel, but beneath the surface was a raging storm.He was no fool, and neither was Liesel. She could see right through him. It was the unspoken understanding they had built over three years of working together.She had kn

Charles stood still. His gaze was dark and fixed on Liesel's retreating figure.He was always just one step behind. He wished Liesel didn't exist.He was nearing his limit. But it wasn't time. He could give Liesel one last chance.But if she continued to stand against Ford Corporation, he wouldn't hesitate anymore.…News of Liesel's interrogation spread fast.But instead of local corporations, the ones pushing the scandal into the spotlight were overseas players. They were Liesel's old enemies, Dash, and the recently humiliated Berg family.Both parties were determined to drag Liesel into the fire.The public was nothing more than an echo chamber. They mindlessly followed whatever narrative was fed to them. They only believed what the majority deemed as truth.What they failed to realize was that truth often lay in the hands of the few.They had already forgotten Liesel's achievements, the foundations she had built, the negotiations she had led, and the countless projects sh

"So, by your logic, no matter what Liesel does, she's a sinner? Is being excellent also a crime? Can't she be framed just because she's too capable?" one netizen argued.Those who had been relentlessly mocking Liesel and pushing her into the storm laughed coldly at her defense. After a moment, one of them made a comment that sent chills down everyone's spine."Yes. Her mistake is being too excellent."Liesel's excellence meant that any misstep would be seen as intentional deception. Even if they eventually caught the real spies and traitors, Liesel would never be absolved in their eyes. That was unless she had been in control of the game from the very beginning.Once a person became powerful enough, the masses would refuse to allow them any margin for error. To them, the strong shouldn't and couldn't afford to make mistakes.On forums, message boards, and social media, Liesel's name flooded every platform. The rumors spread like wildfire. It was proof of just how much money Dash a

Elijah had a feeling that Liesel had everything under control, but that didn't stop his blood from boiling at the way people were slandering her. The words they used were so vile that even glancing at them made him feel sick."Are you angry?"Liesel was completely unfazed by the insults. To her, they were nothing more than noise. In fact, she was in such a good mood that she was teasing Elijah instead."Elijah, they can't hurt me.""But it hurts me, Lili."Though they were separated by a phone screen, Liesel could still feel the pain in Elijah's voice. Her eyes flickered, and after a moment, she smiled reassuringly."Just wait a little longer. Just a little longer, and no one will be able to hurt us anymore. Elijah, I promise."It was a quiet vow. No one would be able to hurt them ever again. She would make sure of it.…The next morning, Liesel was released.The early breeze carried a hint of a chill. She pulled on a light trench coat as she stepped out of the police station

Even the esteemed heir of Ford Corporation, Jacob, had his bad days.Liesel didn't look back. She walked to a quiet corner and asked, "What's the situation with the case?""I provided the police with surveillance footage from my drone," said Howard."What footage?""Alisha took out a loan to buy a small apartment in Ashthorne. It was her little love nest with Austin. But because Ashthorne's housing prices are so high, her salary barely covers the interest payments. She ended up taking out multiple payday loans, and with the accumulating interest, she's in serious debt. "While at work, she used her computer to calculate the interest and even logged into WhatsApp to beg Austin for help. The footage captured their chat history. Turns out, Austin was the one who pushed her into this situation from the start.""If you want to control a weak-willed woman, you either manipulate her financially or emotionally. Austin went for both," Liesel scoffed.Howard nodded. "Judging by his method

"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
