Chapter 251

"Who do you think I'm relying on?" Liesel's voice carried a faint trace of mockery. "Were you hoping to intimidate me by bringing up Jacob?" Zack chuckled awkwardly. He was taking pleasure in her misfortune. "Ms. Sharp, isn't Mr. Ford your protector?" He was baiting her. Liesel found it funny. She had been feeling down these past few days, and Elijah had spent time by her side. That brief lull had allowed someone like Zack to seize what he thought was an advantage. But she wondered if Jacob had ever been her "protector." In other words, when had Jacob ever truly stood behind her and defended her? Never. The smirk on Liesel's face deepened. Satisfied with her silence, Zack quipped, "Ms. Sharp, you came from a poor background. Frankly, you're lucky you've even landed a job at Ford Corporation. But now, Mr. Ford has sided with Jeffrey and the rest of us. If you're smart, you'll know where to stand." Poor background, and lucky to be here; every word hit Liesel like

"One could be minding their business, walking down the street, and a falling stone or steel beam can come out of nowhere and end their lives," Liesel said. "Natural disasters, accidents—these things are beyond anyone's control. Jacob isn't a god, after all, is he?" She hadn't outright said anything would happen to them, but every word carried the weight of an ominous certainty. Zack felt a chill creep through his body. "You're lying! You're just trying to scare me! You're nothing more than a manager at Ford Corporation! How could you possibly stand against Mr. Ford? He said he'd protect me, and he will!" Liesel crossed her arms as a chuckle escaped her lips. "If you're so confident in Jacob's influence, then surely you've also heard of my fiancé, Elijah." The name hit Zack like a ton of bricks. His face drained of color, and his lips quivered as terror flickered in his wide eyes. Liesel raised her eyebrows slightly, then took a step back. Zack dropped to his knees. Te

The door to the conference room swung open. Jacob emerged first. His gaze immediately landed on the scene before him. Under the cool lighting were two figures standing close to each other. They were Liesel and Elijah. Liesel's smile was soft and radiant.Jacob's throat tightened. He asked himself if Liesel had ever smiled at him like that in their three years of marriage.No, she hadn't. And, perhaps, it was because of him that she never had. Behind him, the executives of Ford Corporation filed out. Some of them were longtime supporters of Liesel while others quietly resented her presence. After all, she was a woman who occupied such a pivotal managerial role. She had recently turned down the partnership with Dash, sparing Ford Corporation from a disastrous deal. No one could fault her now, even if they wanted to. "You're late, Ms. Sharp. We missed your insight during the discussions!" "We panicked a little without your presence in the meeting.""Would you like t

"Just get some rest, and then come back to Ford Corporation." Jacob seemed desperate to escape. He wanted to avoid the conversation he knew was coming. Liesel remained motionless. Her gaze was fixed on Jacob's broad, retreating figure. "Jacob, I'm exhausted." Jacob didn't stop. "You really don't understand why I'm resigning?" Liesel stood in place as she continued, "Henry's death is tied to you."Jacob froze. "Natalie's feud with Bromwich—you were the one who mediated it."Jacob turned, but he couldn't face her eyes. Liesel wasn't done."And you've destroyed the evidence of Jeffrey's proxy test taker scandal. You let him walk away unscathed." Each accusation was a statement, not a question. "For three years, I worked at Ford Corporation and stayed by your side. And in all that time, I couldn't figure you out, Jacob. I couldn't see through you. I still don't understand how you could be so cruel to me."You knew who sent Henry. And Elijah's car accident? You know th

Liesel stood where she was with Elijah close behind her. Despite the tension in the air, Liesel maintained a serene smile, while Elijah tilted his head slightly as he challenged Jacob."Mr. Ford, she has said enough. It's time to let her go." He scoffed. "Besides, haven't you already let her go? You're divorced, yet you're still forcing your ex-wife to work here. Mr. Ford, that's a bit much, don't you think?"Elijah's words were a direct jab aimed at Jacob. Liesel didn't even look at Jacob as she fiddled with her phone. She seemed weary.There was a stark difference from the Liesel who would have once defended Jacob against any attack. Today, she stood in front of him but didn't even spare him a glance. It was as if nothing about him was worth her attention anymore.Jacob's fist tightened. His fury boiled over as he threw a punch at Elijah. "It's you who told her everything!"Elijah caught his fist with a firm grip and then retaliated with a forceful shove back. "You broke the agr

"The position of Hardin Group's president's wife is all hers if she wants it. I'll even step down and hand her the title of president itself. I'm prepared to give her everything I have. Can you say the same, Mr. Ford?"Don't give me that nonsense about getting tired of her, or about her leaving me one day. Even if that day comes, the money, power, and status that I'm offering now will still stand. It's enough for her to destroy me if she chooses. That's my sincerity. No one can match it."Elijah cast a final glance at Charles. "Only when your precious Mr. Ford is ready to give up everything willingly can he talk about competing with me."Charles stayed silent. It was undeniable that Elijah's offer wasn't just bait. It was a tangible, overwhelming promise. Charles had no justification to stop Liesel from accepting it. Elijah and Liesel had entered Ford Corporation together, and now, they left together. Drew ruffled his hair in frustration. "The Iron Triangle is down to two. Can the

If Liesel had stayed at Ford Corporation, the winner of the upcoming financial summit might be Ford Corporation itself. The saying that "Liesel from Ford Corporation could carry half the business world in Ashthorne" wasn't widespread, but those in the know had heard it.It spoke volumes about Liesel's reputation. She was capable of securing billion-dollar international deals single-handedly. What kind of storm could she stir up once she was free from constraints? Nobody knew for sure. All they could hope for was that Liesel wouldn't turn her focus against Ford Corporation after her departure. …"Big promises, offering me half your assets," Liesel remarked as she settled into the car. Her arms were folded and a faint smirk was playing on her lips as she glanced at Elijah. "What's this? You've got your eye on Shifter Corporation too?" Others might not know Liesel's true net worth, but Elijah did. Shifter Corporation stood toe-to-toe with Hardin Group in terms of statu

Chapter 258

Elijah willingly played the fool when it came to Liesel. He admitted that he admired her, even liked her. It might not have reached the intensity of love, but she was firmly lodged in his heart. And for her, he was willing to lower his pride. If she still had feelings for another man or couldn't let go of her past, he was even willing to become a shadow. He was willing to mimic another person for her sake. He was ready to make a ridiculous sacrifice, all for the faint hope of winning her over. "Liesel," Elijah murmured. His fingers brushed against her earlobe. "If I give you my heart, will you accept it?" It was the most vulnerable and passionate declaration he had ever made. Liesel thought it was too much. Still reeling from the emotional wreckage of her last relationship, she wasn't ready to embrace such overwhelming affection—even though she had grown accustomed to Elijah's presence. Her silence was her answer. The car window was slightly open, letting in a warm

Jacob stood frozen as he watched the scene unfold from a distance. He felt as if coarse salt had been mercilessly ground into his broken heart. The searing pain radiating from his chest rendered him incapable of rational thought. All he could do was stand there as the sight before him burned itself into his memory. He wondered why he was there. It wasn't his job to deliver a proposal. There were others—Drew, Charles, countless subordinates—anyone else could have done it. But not him. Yet there he was. Just to catch one last glimpse of her. Nothing would come from seeing her. It would only deepen his wounds and magnify the pain. Jacob lowered his gaze to the proposal in his hands. His grip tightened as disgust welled within him. He didn't move closer. Whether out of pride or self-respect, he straightened his spine, turned on his heel, and walked away as the CEO of Ford Corporation. He told himself he wouldn't falter. He wouldn't give his heart to Liesel. He had long ma

Chapter 260

"Can someone please explain to me how beauty like this even exists?""I mean, seriously! I knew Ford Corporation had a so-called 'Iron Triangle,' but no one told me the only female in the group, Ms. Sharp, looked like this! With her talent, I was expecting more of a nerdy, academic vibe—not someone who could put on a potato sack and still look like a movie star!" "I'm done. This face would guarantee peace for generations in ancient times. Add her brain to the mix, and she'd overthrow the king, declare herself ruler, and run a kingdom better than anyone else! She's giving serious 'modern-day Cleopatra' vibes." "Honestly, who cares where she works? She needs to step into the public eye and bless the rest of us already!" The Internet was reeling at Liesel's beauty.One particular image that made the rounds showed Liesel standing in the same frame as the glamorous actress Lara. The comparison was brutal. Lara, dressed impeccably in designer clothes, was utterly eclipsed by Liese
