Chapter 261

Liesel's beauty, though impressive, was the least remarkable thing about her. It was her intellect and grace that made others admire her.Students from Alden University's finance faculty even believed that Liesel possessed a near-divine quality. It was as though there was an unbridgeable distance between her and them. It was as if she were an angel. Her kindness was genuine, and not for show.The charity foundation she established was still thriving. The brand she created was not only self-sustaining but also capable of helping others. In recent years, her foundation had been making donations at various charity events, and it had become customary for major media outlets to mention both Alden University and its finance faculty when covering the foundation's work.The students, who were proud to be from Alden University, found that being associated with her brought them greater respect. Even during internships, their affiliation with the university often earned them higher regard fr

"We have to bring Liesel back! How can the Iron Triangle exist without Ms. Sharp?" The meeting room erupted in chaos. Some angrily accused Liesel of betraying Ford Corporation after all the kindness she had received, while others voiced concerns that the conditions they had offered wouldn't be enough to bring her back. When they realized their interests were on the line, they could no longer view Liesel as just a "pretty woman." They were finally forced to acknowledge her exceptional abilities.She had the power to influence the stock market all on her own. Even a prestigious company like Ford Corporation couldn’t escape the impact of her departure.Jacob sat silently at the head of the table. His eyes were fixed downward as he watched Ford Corporation’s stock price continue to plummet. His face remained impassive, and he subconsciously tightened his grip around his pen. His gaze wandered instinctively to his right.It was Charles.The person who had often sat there was Liesel.

"I hope everyone will avoid following the crowd. Hardin Group will continue to cooperate with Ford Corporation in the future. Thank you for your understanding and support."Liesel's post made everything clear. There was no conflict between her and Jacob, and though she had some ties to Ford Corporation, it wasn't out of bitterness as suggested by Solstice Inc.Her response quickly became a trending topic.With the person involved speaking out, Ford Corporation's stock price rose once again. It climbed steadily until it stabilized. The mention of potential future cooperation in Liesel's statement further boosted the stock price.Liesel's approach in the business world had always been honest and transparent. She had never been anything else.The meeting room suddenly grew quiet.Charles leaned casually against the wall. His expression was serene yet cold, with a subtle hint of mocking amusement in his eyes."Are you all satisfied with Ms. Sharp's response?" he asked.The board me

He was Elijah, yet somehow, he wasn't.She stood still while staring at the man in front of her who had transformed into someone else. He wore Jacob's mask, playing his role. He came closer to her.Why was he doing this? Why?"Is this what you like?""I can be like him.""I give you my heart. Will you accept it?"A few days ago, when Elijah had said those words to her, she had been in a daze. She barely understood what he meant, not realizing the depth of what he was trying to convey.Now, standing before him, Liesel suddenly felt her heart race with panic. She finally understood what Elijah had meant.He had asked, "You're upset. Is it because you like men like Jacob?"He had said, "If you love Jacob so much, then I'll become him."His eyes had been filled with longing and sincerity as he had earnestly said, "Liesel, if I give you my heart, will you accept it?"He hadn't asked, "Do you want it?" He had asked, "Will you accept it?" He had humbled himself, putting himself i

She had to choose between the man who had always just taken from her, and him—the one she could rely on and who would stand by her side.How cunning Elijah was, but she couldn't bring herself to call him a bastard.For the past few days, Elijah hadn't come to find her. He had been imitating Jacob.He had transformed so completely. His hairstyle, his clothing, his posture—everything had changed. He no longer resembled the man she knew. And in the process, he had paid the price for his own cleverness.Liesel stood from a distance as she watched him. His calm, indifferent expression felt so unfamiliar, almost like he was a stranger.She knew that this was another of Elijah's schemes. He wanted her to take the initiative to close the distance between them.After a brief moment of hesitation, she made her decision. With a steady resolve, she walked toward him step by step, just as he had planned.He was tall, and since she wasn't wearing high heels, she had to look up at him.Howeve

Elijah tightened his arms around Liesel's shoulders. A dim light flickered in his dark eyes."Does this mean that my scheme worked?" he asked. He talked about his scheme openly without a sliver of guilt.Their relationship consisted of them scheming against each other anyway. But finally, real feelings developed.Liesel's eyes were filled with a warm amusement. Then, she answered his question with a gentle kiss.The kiss was as light as the falling rain outside.Could there be a moment more exhilarating than this one?Elijah's pitch-black eyes glimmered with affection as he held Liesel tightly in his arms. All the walls around his sincere heart were down as it thumped away in his chest. Heat radiated off him.Her response was an answer to his question—his scheme had worked.The heat made Liesel's face flush. Her eyes grew wet.They returned to Viewpoint. As the summer rain fell outside, they sought each other out intimately in the bedroom. All they could feel was warmth.Lies

Elijah raised an eyebrow like something had clicked in his mind. "Are we going to roleplay as the rich woman and the unknown celebrity?"That wasn't the case either. Liesel simply didn't want to see the scars on his body.Whenever she saw them, her chest would spasm in pain."If you want to roleplay, we can do that anytime. But now, I want you to take some photos."Elijah immediately understood. Now that they'd gone public with their relationship, they had to release a few photos so that those people would know about their relationship.It… was also to let three specific people know that she'd chosen Hardin Group.Humoring her, he changed into the clothes she gave him. He even retrieved the guitar that Liesel kept on the balcony. He gave it a wipe and then strummed it.Liesel pointed her phone at him, and he chose that moment to turn to face her.He was wearing a white shirt and a pair of light blue jeans. The first few buttons were unfastened, revealing his defined collarbones

Thus, Chelsea had just opened the door without giving it much thought.When she saw the sight before her, she felt like her feet had been nailed to the floor. She was unable to move.The smile on her face now seemed a little embarrassed. "It seems like I came at the wrong time. You guys continue. Just ignore me."She sensibly decided to leave, but Elijah stopped her. "Wait, Ms. Walden."Chelsea didn't know what he wanted from her, but she still stopped for Liesel's sake."Could you help us take a few photos?" Elijah smiled slightly. "Take some photos of me and Lili together."Oh, this was clearly so that he could show off their love on Twitter and assert dominance.Chelsea didn't agree straight away. Instead, her gaze landed on Liesel. She was seeking her approval.Liesel nodded, and only then did Chelsea take the phone from Elijah. Before tapping on the camera button, she looked at their outfits. "Lili, why don't you change into a white shirt, or perhaps a white shirt dress? I

What else could Chelsea say to that? After hearing that, anything else she could say seemed unnecessary.In the end, this was Liesel's life. He was her choice and her partner.As her friend, Chelsea was naturally worried and concerned. However, she couldn't cross the line and get involved in Liesel's life.Since Elijah had given her such a sincere reply, she was satisfied."Treat her well."Elijah's gaze was filled with warm amusement. "Of course, I will."There was nothing about his genuine attitude that Chelsea could nitpick about. She looked down briefly, but when she gazed back up at Liesel again, her eyes were clearly smiling. "Lili, I wish you happiness."After that, she didn't stay much longer.Elijah watched her leave, and his gaze dimmed. He couldn't help but feel he'd seen her face somewhere before."Why are you still staring at Chelsea's back?" Liesel asked.Elijah held her hands while playing with them. "I feel like you two are so close. Would you mind sharing how

Elijah led Liesel away. However, his heart was in turmoil.The night Chelsea turned eighteen years old, she had crawled into Tobey Lark's bed and become his secret underground lover for the past five years.…In the underground parking lot, there was a luxury car parked there inconspicuously. Inside the car, Tobey was staring gloomily at Chelsea. With a half-smile, he lifted her chin with one finger and gazed at the beautiful face that intrigued him.Chelsea's heart skipped a beat, but she kept a warm smile on her face. "Why are you looking at me like that, Mr. Lark?" Revealing the love bites on her collarbones in a way that seemed unintentional, she asked, "Won't you help me with that favor, Mr. Lark?"Tobey looked at her gorgeous face. Then, his gaze followed her movements and landed on the marks on her collarbones. His eyes darkened."Why are you dressed so plainly?" Tobey grabbed her chin and leaned in closer. "I prefer the way you look in a red dress and black stockings."A
