Chapter 191

"Did Grandpa give you something?" Jacob asked.Liesel crossed her arms, a soft smile playing at the corner of her lips. "Whatever Grandpa gave me certainly doesn't belong to the Fords. I believe you'd understand that, so I hope you won't ask any further."Jacob's gaze turned icy, his voice laced with cold warning. "Whether it's yours or not, you should understand that once something passes into the old man's hands, it's not easy for anyone to take it back, even if it rightfully belongs to you."His words were both a reminder and a threat.Liesel's eyes flickered, and the smile on her lips faded. "Mr. Ford, did you come all the way here just to remind me of that?"If that's all you're here for, then let me tell you, I'll always take what belongs to me back, even if someone stole it from me."The tension between them was palpable.Liesel had changed completely. In just a short span of time, she had gone from being the gentle, accommodating Mrs. Ford to a dazzling and sharp-edged M

Liesel was willing to play along. If Elijah wanted to teeter on the edge of madness, she'd match him step for step.And as for Henry? Since he dared to take a job from Matthew, he deserved to suffer the consequences.That was why Liesel ultimately swapped out the original research materials for a forgery. Elijah wanted a show, and she'd deliver. Both of them were calculating, aware of each other's games but leaving the truth unspoken. Together, they redirected all the blame onto Matthew and Henry.If Matthew hadn't been so greedy, Elijah wouldn't have needed to pull off an elaborate ploy in the first place.Jacob's gaze darkened, his voice sharpening. "Liesel, Elijah is lying to you. You're not going to beat him at this game." Liesel raised an eyebrow. "What I see is a man who won't hurt me. As for who outplays who, I guess we'll find out." Her fingers casually toyed with a strand of hair at her shoulder. "And how do you know this isn't just... our idea of fun?"Plus, Elijah

"My one true love, the only one I've ever publicly acknowledged, is Elijah." Liesel's calm voice carried the weight of a dagger as she delivered the words to Jacob. It was true. Only the Ford family and a handful of people in their social circle knew about Liesel and Jacob's marriage. Even their wedding had been low-key, with only a few tables at the reception. Their wedding photos were taken hastily, with Jacob in one of his everyday suits. No one cared about their relationship. Jacob certainly hadn't, and since he didn't, no one else would.For three years, she was never "Mrs. Ford". To the world, she was simply Jacob's secretary. Jacob stared at her, his gaze searching for something in her expression. After a moment, his lips pressed into a thin line. "I'm sorry. That was my fault." "It was indeed your fault," Liesel replied, taking a step back. "I thought after everything that happened, you wouldn't come looking for me again." Liesel sharpened her tone as she add

Elijah dropped his act completely. His words were a blatant signal to Liesel that he had people keeping tabs on her. He wouldn't have asked if he hadn't known exactly when Jacob left. "You didn't hear from the little birds you planted around me?"Liesel didn't bother pretending anymore. Elijah chuckled, but his laughter faltered, pain evident on his face as he winced."I just want to hear you say that you've chosen me."Liesel lifted her gaze, looking out into the vast darkness of the night. The stars seem to flicker like distant glimmers of light."Yeah, I've chosen you. I've chosen you, Elijah." Elijah's laughter grew. But in the background, Liesel could hear Ethan urgently calling for medical help, shouting things like, "He's bleeding! Get the doctor!"His laughter stopped abruptly. "Lili, it hurts so much." How could it not hurt? The car had been destroyed, the gash on his forehead was huge, and he was bleeding from his chest. Anyone would be in agony from that.Liese

Chapter 195

Elijah's actions to protect Liesel left his assistant, Ethan, still in shock. Ethan couldn't help but think that Elijah was going too far. After all, Liesel was not as innocent as she looked. "Mr. Hardin, maybe you should take a look at what Ms. Sharp did tonight," Ethan finally said, wanting Elijah to know what Liesel had done at the race track.Elijah hadn't seen the footage yet, but now he was intrigued. He wanted to know what Liesel had been up to.Ethan sent him the video, and Elijah opened it. Liesel's long hair flowed in the wind, and her barely visible side profile was still strikingly beautiful."She's pretty, isn't she?"Ethan didn't answer, but inwardly thought, "She's gorgeous, but she's also dangerous as hell."The video showed Liesel coldly manipulating a remote, forcing Henry's car into a wall with brutal precision. When Neal pulled her away, Liesel lifted her head with a smile.The crashes continued—once, twice, 23 times.By the end of the video, Elijah was dis

On the outside, Liesel appeared gentle and graceful, but beneath that facade lay a fierce beast, ready to spring into action at any moment. She was a scheming and malicious person. This was who Liesel really was.Jacob felt a tightness in his throat as he watched the video over and over again. His gaze grew darker with each replay.There was no denying that this version of Liesel, with her intense aggression, was even more captivating. She was like a dark, seductive red rose, blooming wildly in the night.His eyes were fixated on her. Jacob couldn't tear his gaze away even if he wanted to.As the sky began to brighten, Jacob's eyes remained glued to the video. His fingers lightly traced the screen, as though touching the cold, smooth surface might bring him closer to her.If it were before, he could have pulled her into his arms, kissed her, and taken her for himself. But now, Liesel was with Elijah. She was his.Jacob's eyes darkened even further.After a long silence, he spoke

Chapter 197

Jordan was the person Jacob valued most, even more than Drew or Liesel. Within Ford Corporation, Jordan held a position comparable to the senior executives, and in some ways, his influence even surpassed theirs. He not only wielded significant power but also held shares in the company.Later, with Liesel and Drew around, Jordan often dealt with external business affairs and seldom went to the company. His temperament was cold, and like Jacob, he cared only for ability and interests. When Liesel first joined the secretary department, Jordan gave her the cold shoulder. It wasn't until she secured a major contract abroad that Jordan truly accepted her. At that point, he officially recommended Liesel to be Jacob's other executive secretary, taking on part of his workload.Over the years, Liesel had proven her worth, but what about Natalie?Jordan eyed her with quiet scrutiny. The intensity of his gaze made Natalie feel uncomfortable, and she instinctively took a step back. "So i

If the operation was mishandled, Ford Corporation's liquidity would have been frozen due to the poor investment.When Natalie heard this, she felt as though the sky was falling. The news was about to break, and when the scam was exposed, it wouldn't be Liesel who was ridiculed, but Natalie.In a situation like this, the only thing she could do was plead with Jacob for another chance to return to Ford Corporation. At least, she could regain her position as a secretary and make others believe it was all just a misunderstanding.She could say that Ford Corporation had never actually planned to sign a contract with Dash, and it was only a tactic to lure the rival company into a trap. It was pure business competition."Jake, please help me. I made a mistake," she begged. "Solstice Inc. is about to reveal the truth—that the contract was a scam. If Ford Corporation won't take me back, no other company will hire me.""Jake, you have to help me…" Natalie sobbed, her tears flowing freely, but

"You forced Liesel out, but do you even have the ability to take her place? Now that you're here instead of her, do you think that the Iron Triangle will remain stable?" Jordan's words were filled with mockery.Natalie's face flushed with embarrassment. "I didn't intend to ruin your relationship. Liesel is still with Ford Corporation. She's just been promoted to a manager in the project department!"Jordan retorted, "Are you really that stupid, or are you just pretending? As Mr. Ford's executive secretary and assistant, her position is almost on par with the department heads, if not higher."Liesel being reassigned to the project department is just a demotion disguised as a promotion. Liesel can handle complex contracts and manage foreign partnerships. Do you have half the ability to do that, Ms. Sharp?"How many languages do you speak? Do you even know how to negotiate?"Each word was a sharp jab, leaving Natalie with no room to think, let alone respond. Her mind went blank, and

Elijah couldn't even imagine how furious Liesel would be if she found out that Henry had been rescued. He clenched his fists. "What are you betting on?""I can make her leave the project department and return as my executive secretary. Will you take the bet?"Elijah lifted his eyes and glanced at him. "So, you're betting on whether Liesel will agree to return as your secretary?"Elijah crossed his arms nonchalantly. "Why not? If Liesel refuses to return as your secretary, you'll have to release Henry."Jacob stated his other terms. "If Liesel agrees to be my secretary, you'll have to hand over the project Hardin Group just landed."The project Elijah had secured recently was a government-backed initiative, one that had caught the attention of the higher-ups. Jacob certainly had big ambitions.At first, he had thought Jacob was only focused on Matthew, but now it was clear that Jacob had his eyes set on his contracts."Seems like you've been closely monitoring Hardin Group, Mr. F
