"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

Jacob stood in the sunlight, yet it felt as if he were engulfed in shadow. His eyes were darker than the night."Let's go." Liesel turned and started walking back.Jacob, who had been leaning against the car, immediately took a few hurried steps forward.He wanted to get closer but he also knew he no longer had the right. That kind of inescapable pain was the hardest to endure."Liesel, can we talk here? Just 10 minutes, that's all I ask." His bloodshot eyes looked even more exhausted than before.Liesel shook her head.Howard stepped in, blocking his view."Howard, this is between me and Liesel." Jacob barely held back his temper. He was already at his lowest. He didn't want to show an even uglier side of himself."And I have business with Liesel too." Howard smiled slightly.Jacob had had enough. He grabbed Howard by the collar.Howard didn't back down. He raised his arm and pressed it against Jacob's throat in retaliation.The two men locked eyes with burning hostility li

The entire drive, Liesel didn't speak. Thomas, sensing her mood, dared not say a word either. It stayed that way until they reached Liesel's apartment."So, your business is done? You're off leave and coming back?" she asked casually as if just making conversation."Yeah. It's done," Thomas answered.Liesel hummed in acknowledgment. She glanced at him briefly before leading him to a nearby restaurant. Inside a private dining room, she pulled out a chair and ordered, "Sit."Thomas obediently walked over, sat down, and tilted his face up to look at her. His eyes were innocent, and his gaze was soft.Liesel paused slightly at the sight of him, then quickly looked away. "Have you sorted it out?"She was asking if he had sorted out his emotions, his feelings. Thomas didn't answer.Because he hadn't. If anything, he had only become more obsessed. His mind was filled with thoughts of her. He wanted to be with her and protect her.Cameron had worried endlessly about Thomas' state of mi

"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
