Frowning, Chelsea reached for the blanket to wrap herself tighter before letting Tobey leave.Tobey chuckled softly. As he stood up, he couldn't help pinching her cheek before heading out of the bedroom.A few minutes later, he was back.Chelsea, who was still groggy and exhausted, felt herself being pulled into his strong embrace.She felt at ease. Without even opening her eyes, she snuggled into him and found a comfortable position before falling back into a deep sleep.The next morning, Chelsea's alarm hadn't gone off yet, but she was already half awake.Lately, she'd been waking up early for training, so her body had adjusted to the routine. But after last night's activities with Tobey, she felt sore and sluggish. She didn't want to get up.That darn man remembered her agreeing to go to the training camp late today, and he took full advantage of it.Luckily, he didn't leave a mark on her neck. Otherwise, she would've definitely exploded in anger.Now, she refused to open h

The thing was, Jimmy wasn't entirely wrong.It was Tobey who had proposed marriage and used Liesel's name to pressure Chelsea to marry him.That was why he had rushed to buy a pair of wedding rings. They had to have them.Pursing her lips, Chelsea said, "But I work in showbiz. Do you want me to wear this ring and have my fans stop supporting me?"She was thinking ahead.She had never intended to rely on Tobey. In her mind, she and Tobey were always going to split up, so the wedding ring was irrelevant.That was why, from the start, she hadn't planned on making their relationship public.How could she put it?To her, Tobey was the kind of man she couldn't show off. Yes, that was how she saw him."Just wear it when we're with Liesel and the others. Otherwise, they'll start talking again," Tobey suggested.Oh, so she didn't need to wear it during competitions.Chelsea let out a relieved breath and lowered her eyes. She slipped her soft fingers through his. She gripped his hand

Social media exploded with outrage."Drew's betrayal of Ford Corporation was inevitable, wasn't it? First, Liesel left for Hardin Group. Of course, Drew would have his own agenda. Among the Iron Triangle of Ford Corporation, only Charles, Jacob's childhood friend, remains.""This is sickening. Liesel's leaving doesn't really count as a betrayal. She divorced Jacob, after all, so staying at Ford Corporation would've been awkward. But Drew? What's his excuse?"Jacob gave him everything. And yet, he stole confidential information and embezzled a fortune! Jacob had given him money and shares, only to end up raising an ingrate!""Ungrateful bastard!""He deserves to rot in prison!"Most of the netizens condemned Drew's betrayal. Because of his ties to Liesel, she was caught in the storm too. Ford Corporation's shareholders and loyalists smeared her name, calling her and Drew birds of a feather.Some even claimed Drew had turned against Ford Corporation because Liesel had influenced h

Drew didn't want Liesel to see him like this."I need to know the truth, Drew."Liesel felt a pang of sadness at the sight of him. Back then, she had known that Ford Corporation wasn't a place he could stay for long. It was no longer the right fit for him. She had wanted to help him find another path, but she had underestimated Charles' ruthlessness.Both she and Drew knew too many of Ford Corporation's secrets. The only reason she had managed to leave safely was because Jacob carried guilt toward her. But Drew? They had no such reservations about him.With all the classified information he possessed, there was no way Ford Corporation would just let Drew walk away and start fresh somewhere else.In the future Charles had mapped out for him, Drew was supposed to remain an unremarkable employee until the day he retired and faded into obscurity.Drew's voice was hoarse. "Forget about me. Just let it be."He was exhausted.He wasn't naive. He knew exactly who had set him up. And he

As Liesel stepped into Ford Corporation, hushed whispers rippled through the employees.They used to see her as a savior. If she had stayed, the smart system and anticancer drugs would have belonged to Ford Corporation, not Hardin Group.But now, she was a traitor in their eyes, the one who had stripped Ford Corporation of what should have been theirs.They thought this way only because Liesel had threatened their personal interests. People were inherently selfish creatures.Natalie spotted Liesel from a distance as soon as the latter arrived at Ford Corporation. Hiding in a corner, she watched closely, and the smile on her face grew colder by the second.Liesel noticed her too. She raised her gaze slightly and saw the nameplate pinned to Natalie's chest—Head of Administrative Department.Her? Head of Administrative Department?Liesel's expression darkened.Natalie strutted over in her high heels. More and more employees took advantage of a break, strolling around as if they we

Liesel's parents had died in a car accident caused by a drunk driver. In their final moments, they had shielded her with their bodies, whispering that she was their most precious treasure. There was no way anyone could claim she had stolen her family's fortune.It was all nonsense fueled by Natalie's jealousy and bitterness."You know exactly why Ford Corporation fell apart," snapped the HR manager. Her voice was dripping with disdain. "It was because of you."You seduced the vice president, broke up his marriage, and then stole his ex-wife's position. You pushed Ms. Sharp out of the company and into the arms of Hardin Group."If it weren't for you, she'd still be with Mr. Ford, negotiating deals and representing Ford Corporation at the financial summit. But no, you had to play the homewrecker and act like the victim. How shameless can you be?"The other employees, who were quietly observing the confrontation, began to murmur in agreement. They knew something felt fishy and suspec

"That idiot Natalie left?" Charles clicked his tongue. "Apologies, I have no idea what got into her. She insisted on causing trouble for you."Charles' casual apology was devoid of any sincerity.Liesel lowered her gaze slightly. "Every department at Ford Corporation has cameras. You knew I was coming today, and you knew Natalie was a ticking time bomb."Charles had anticipated Natalie's outburst and let it happen. Like an owner unleashing a rabid dog, he waited until Liesel dealt with the mess before sauntering in with his hollow apologies.Charles' polite smile faltered. "We both know how these things work. No need to spell it out. As long as we're both clear, that's enough.""I'm not the type to swallow my pride, so you'll have to endure a few unpleasant truths." Liesel chuckled dryly.Charles' eyes narrowed. "Elijah must really be treating you well. You've gotten bold.""Or maybe I've always had an attitude problem," Liesel shot back. She had always been like that. It was on

"Who do you think it is?" Liesel's voice was calm. "Could it be Matthew? The same man who's tried to screw me over more times than I can count?"She didn't bother to sugarcoat it.Matthew was Jacob's uncle, the man who helped raise him after his father died. For a while, Jacob even saw him as a father figure and idolized him.Charles' expression darkened as he stared at Liesel.Liesel hit the mark.Matthew was the real culprit. He'd funneled Ford Corporation's funds into offshore accounts, stolen corporate secrets, and sold them overseas to buy influence and connections. Every last crime was traced back to him.Jacob wanted to protect Matthew, so he needed to sacrifice Drew.Drew had probably guessed it was him. That's why he'd sat in that interrogation room, silent as a stone."What a bastard. Are there any decent people left in the Ford family?" Liesel laughed.Charles' face grew darker. "Ms. Sharp, some thoughts are better left unsaid. Mr. Ford is an honorable man. He'd nev

Brandon didn't respond right away. Fred continued, "No one taught your mother and sister how to act appropriately in society. Mr. Ford is spending his precious time teaching them what to do and what not to do. Thus, they will have to suffer a bit for this."Mr. Zima, if you really want to help them, then just give your parents the bare minimum financial aid from time to time. As for your sister… you have no obligation to provide for her. Do you understand where I'm coming from?"Brandon couldn't accept it. "My sister's reputation in the industry isn't great right now. If I don't help her, then she really won't be able to survive. Mr. Ford is also an older brother. He should understand what I'm going through."Jacob loved Ophelia, and Brandon also naturally loved Yvonne. It was because of this that he wanted to try getting forgiveness from Ophelia.Fred raised his voice. "Ms. Ford is very warm and never treats people haughtily. She has never used her family background to bully oth

With a serious expression, Brandon rattled on about the various compensations for Ophelia. Fred nearly couldn't keep his facial expression under control.It seemed like everyone already knew that Ophelia was a huge fan of Chelsea's. It couldn't have been easy to think of such a compensation.The elevator arrived on the top floor, but Jacob still hadn't given his response. Therefore, Brandon hurried into his office behind Jacob and Fred. Finally, Jacob looked at him. "There is some sincerity to it."Firstly, a public apology to Ophelia on his company's Twitter account would clear her name. Secondly, the shares would be considered as financial compensation for the mental distress caused.The third form of compensation was the key point that convinced Jacob to look up. He thought that it was too difficult for Ophelia to fight for concert tickets and produce fan merchandise herself. Now that there was someone readily available to do it, Ophelia wouldn't have to work so hard.This pers

Jacob could really be heinous.Who wanted to listen to Veronica's blabbering?Most people thought that Tobey was sly, cold, and heartless. However, they didn't know that Jacob was the one who was truly wicked.In his youth, he had once been kidnapped because one of the medicines that the Ford family manufactured had threatened to undermine the profits of others. During that time, he'd suffered through endless torment.When he was rescued, his personality had turned ruthless.Although he could be monstrous, he placed great importance on his family and friends. And, Ophelia was his beloved little sister.How could he let Yvonne off the hook for scheming against Ophelia? He had to teach Yvonne that the world could be a harsh place.Not only was Yvonne stupid, but she was also very unfortunate.At first, Jacob could still tolerate how Yvonne had used Ophelia. He had just planned to give her a small taste of her medicine and stop there. However, Veronica had decided on her own accor

Vincent's expression turned cold. He wanted to kick her out of the house, but suddenly, Jacob's cold voice sounded from afar."Since our family is powerful and influential, why should we swallow our anger and surfer in silence?"Jacob had left a document at home, but because his assistant, Fred Foreman, didn't know where it was kept, he had to come home himself to get it. Unexpectedly, he overheard Veronica's haughty words when he returned.Well, a woman who was only pretending to be wealthy in a remote place was now acting superior in his home. Who would allow that to happen?All these years, Veronica had never been defied by someone younger than her before. Because she was much older, she considered herself superior. She didn't care if one was the heir to the family or the eldest son of the main family. At that moment, Jacob's words had made her rage boil over."Look! Look at the children that the Ford family has produced!"Jacob raised an eyebrow. He massaged the spot betwee

Edward chuckled quietly in her ear. "Where do you want to go tomorrow, Ophelia? Should I take you on an overseas getaway? Or perhaps, we could take a stroll nearby and watch a movie.""I can't go overseas; I'm not on break yet. Let's go watch a movie," Ophelia replied. "I've only watched a movie with you as my brother. This time, I want to try watching a movie with you as my boyfriend."Although Edward was still the same person, his identity had changed.She could now touch Edward openly. She could hold his hand, hug him, and kiss him.It was… really great."Alright, get some rest today. I'll come pick you up tomorrow," Edward said.Ophelia nodded and walked him to the door. As soon as she shut the door, she pressed her hand to her chest, feeling her heart thudding rapidly from the kiss earlier.She hopped into bed and rolled from side to side.After Edward got into his car, he finally let out a loud laugh. He pressed his fingers to his lips, reminiscing about the aftertaste sh

As their tongues intertwined, Edward could taste a sweet and sour flavor on Ophelia's tongue. It tasted like she just had a piece of strawberry candy that made her entire mouth taste sweet.Even her breath smelled like this refreshing and saccharine fruity scent. It was as if she was enticing him to take a bite of her and swallow her.The more they kissed, the more forceful Edward got. The air around them felt syrupy and intimate."Are you sure you really have never dated before? Am I really your first? If I am… then why are you so good at kissing?" she asked like it was an interrogation.She didn't know how to kiss and was very inexperienced. However, Edward had practically conquered her. He kissed her until her knees went weak.At the thought of Edward doing this to another woman, her chest began to ache terribly.Edward played with her hair, which had become messy from the kissing. "Like I said, you're all I dream about. I don't even know how many times I've kissed you in my d

"How would you know that I also didn't have the same kind of thoughts when you secretly kissed me all those years ago?"You said that I was born in a tall tower, but I didn't get to choose my background. Meanwhile, you have climbed your way up to where I am to be with me."In ancient times, we would have been innocent and carefree childhood sweethearts. We would've been considered a match made in heaven."Edward, what I'm saying is the truth." Ophelia said each word solemnly. She stared unblinkingly at Edward as she spoke. "While you were struggling with these emotions, who said I was not struggling too?"However, I just couldn't forget you. I couldn't accept a future without you. What I wanted was to have you by my side. I wish you were my lover, and I want to be with you, Edward Ford."Her response was firm and resolute. It echoed with conviction.At the same time, she seemed to be giving her answer to the Edward who had been hiding his feelings in fear and panic for many y

"If you're ever unhappy, you can come find me anytime. I'll always be here for you."This was Edward's promise.These were the moments when Ophelia had seen Edward smoking. Each time, it seemed to have something to do with her.She recalled the past. The way Edward always looked at her became even clearer in her mind. Back then, she might not have understood the struggle and yearning in his eyes.But now, she thought she understood.Her mind was filled with too many thoughts, and their embrace had lasted far too long.She wanted to push him away, but at that moment, he suddenly whispered in her ear, "Your first kiss wasn't him. It was me."What?Ophelia was stunned. She even thought that she'd heard wrong.When had she ever kissed Edward? How come she never knew about it?She pushed him away. Her doe eyes widened."You're lying. E-except just now, we've never kissed before!""The night before I left the country, you held onto my shirt and refused to let me leave. After you

Ophelia still remembered the melancholy and confusion that she'd seen in Edward's eyes. He had looked like a young boy who couldn't find his way home.The moment Edward saw her, he stubbed out his cigarette. Holding her hand, he led the bleary-eyed Ophelia back to the bedroom.Worried that she'd catch a cold from the freezing winds, he made her a cup of hot chamomile tea. She didn't like the taste, so he had to try his hardest to coax her into drinking it.Upset, she said to him accusingly, "Edward, I feel I'm turning into a chamomile plant."Edward laughed.He was handsome. Even when he laughed, he looked attractive. Amusement bloomed on his charming and elegant face.She complimented him dazedly, "Edward, you're really good-looking."Even though she was still mad that she'd been coaxed into drinking a whole mug of chamomile tea, she still found herself lost in his handsomeness. Edward's eyes were curved from his broad grin, and he reached out to rub her head."You're very goo
