Natalie watched as the car disappeared into the distance. Her hands slowly clenched into fists at her sides. She sped back home, locking herself in her bedroom as soon as she arrived. She began drafting a post for the internet. The post explained how Liesel and Elijah had gotten together and colluded with each other, with Liesel helping Elijah seize control of the Hardin family. It also claimed Elijah had sabotaged the partnership just to help Liesel get back at her. After posting it online, Natalie finally let out a soothing sigh of relief. "Just wait. Both of you will be ruined by tomorrow!" she murmured. Meanwhile, after Liesel enjoyed the cool night breeze during the ride, Elijah dropped her off outside her apartment. It was only after Liesel entered her building that Elijah placed a hand over his chest. A faint smile formed on his lips. He had to admit that watching a composed Liesel tapping swiftly away at the keyboard in the private lounge, unfazed even when facing t

The research related to holography? Wayne froze, not expecting this to be the reason for Matthew's visit. However, he knew Elijah would surely kill him for revealing this information. "No, no, no… You don't know how Elijah is. He'll kill me!" Wayne trembled uncontrollably, but Matthew ignored his fear. After a while, Matthew frowned slightly. His tone was laced with a chilling edge. "If you don't talk, you'll die anyway. You're afraid of Elijah. Aren't you afraid of me?"Matthew's icy stare bore into him, and Wayne could feel the barely contained menace radiating from him. "Mr. Ford, please don't force me. I really…" Wayne wrapped his arms around his head, not daring to meet Matthew's gaze. One of Matthew's black-clad bodyguards grabbed Wayne by the head, forcing him to look up and meet Matthew's gaze. Even as Wayne continued shaking, Matthew stared at the panicked man before him with an unyielding coldness. Suddenly, for some reason, Matthew smiled gently. "There's no

It turned out that Matthew's research was focused on holography.In fact, back when she was still around, Heather had actually been doing research on holography. It was a mystery as to why Heather possessed such a comprehensive dataset back then. After he got hold of the data, Matthew hadn't been able to decipher the detailed data in it.He had been keeping a close watch on research institutes involved in holographic research and also on Liesel. He figured that since Heather could produce such cutting-edge data years ago, Liesel, her daughter, probably could do so as well. It eventually proved to be true. Upon finding out about Liesel's connection to Elijah, Matthew wasted no time and hurried back to Draskia. He knew that Elijah had been deeply involved in holography research. Given that Liesel was associated with Elijah, Matthew naturally assumed that Liesel must have had some involvement in the field as well.Having received a definitive answer from Wayne, Matthew felt a surge

Liesel knew deep down that her heart was no longer capable of love. She had always considered herself to be a rational person. Yet, she understood that even the most rational mind could be overwhelmed by emotion.She had given all her love to Jacob. Although she no longer loved him anymore, Liesel found herself too emotionally drained to love again.Elijah was a decent man. If it was merely a matter of business, Liesel would gladly go along with him. If it was a matter of love, she hadn't even contemplated that possibility."You can rest assured, Chelsea. I'm fully aware of what I'm doing," Liesel said with a reassuring smile.…Upon arriving at Ford Corporation, Liesel could distinctly sense the employees' gazes. Yet, there was no ridicule in their gazes, just curiosity. Her colleagues knew firsthand of her abilities. They understood that the online rumors about her and Elijah were unfounded.

He narrowed his eyes. A mix of indolence and pleasure gleamed in them."Last night."Liesel looked at him, her voice calm as she asked, "Were you thinking of kissing me?"Elijah froze.For someone as sharp-minded as him, it was rare to feel his thoughts whirl into disarray.Liesel straightened slightly, then slowly stepped closer to him. She extended her pale, delicate hand."Let me borrow your lighter."Elijah quickly regained his composure, though his voice was unusually husky. "What for?"She didn't answer. Instead, she reached into the inner pocket of his suit and pulled out a lighter made of solid gold.Liesel held it in her palm. She toyed with it as she looked up at him with a faint smile."Before I married Jacob, I used to smoke," she said casually.She continued, "But after I married him, I quit. You know how he is. He doesn't like things like this."Elijah's Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he hummed in acknowledgment.Finally, he took the lighter from her hands,

"I need a beautiful, capable wife, and you need a 'lover' you can rely on. Isn't that right?"He added, "You married Jacob. So naturally, you can marry me too."His voice was low, smooth, and laced with an almost hypnotic allure."Liesel, I suggest you think about my proposal.""I will provide you with all the emotional value you need. I will be a partner you're satisfied with."Elijah was undeniably clever. He didn't profess his love or say how deeply he cared for her. Instead, he positioned himself as someone who could meet her needs—a partner she could approve of.It all came back to the same thing—a transaction.Liesel's gaze flickered briefly before she turned to look out of the window. The view was stark. Skyscrapers stretched endlessly into a pale horizon.The window was cracked open, letting in a faint breeze that tousled the loose strands of her hair.If she were honest, Elijah was the ideal candidate for love and marriage. But...Her hand instinctively moved to he

Elijah truly was a master of manipulation.Everything he had said was exactly what Liesel had been pondering all along.Denzel had mentioned to her that she couldn't terminate this pregnancy. Doing so could result in permanent infertility. She had chalked it up to fate. Perhaps she and this child were simply meant to be.But carrying this baby and bringing it into the world meant taking full responsibility for it.Her current situation, however, was both awkward and absurd. She and Jacob were already divorced. When the child was born, who would step in to play the role of father?Even though she believed a father's presence wasn't strictly necessary, she couldn't deny that from the moment of birth, denying her child the right to a happy family felt deeply unfair.And Elijah… Elijah was undeniably the most suitable candidate.Their shared pasts, similar childhood experiences, and the struggles they both endured allowed them to empathize with each other on a profound level."You'

Ophelia was left dumbfounded after hearing Joseph's advice. What nonsense was he talking about? He was supposed to be on her side, not sabotage her. Edward shoved Ophelia out of the kitchen. "Something's wrong with his brain, so just ignore him. Go and rest."Ophelia was still perplexed as Edward pushed her out of the kitchen. However, she didn't probe further since she refused to speak to him for now. Once Ophelia was gone, Joseph immediately cursed. "You're such a beast. 28cm, 28cm. Why don't you cut off that thing of yours? Did you think your sweetheart is someone who appears in those adult films?" Edward's eyes twitched. He finally understood what Joseph had been blabbering about. Joseph was such a pervert through and through. Edward slammed the knife onto the chopping board. "I'm talking about my age. What's gotten into you?""Oh, it's your age." Joseph sighed in relief. He had been worried about how Draskia could have such a pervert like Edward.After a while, Joseph e

"Ophelia." As soon as Edward spoke, Ophelia glanced at him nonchalantly. "I'm starving."Edward was relieved that she was still willing to talk to him. "I'll prepare breakfast." With that, he cast a glance at Joseph. "Come and help me."Joseph scoffed. He got to his feet before stretching lazily. He hadn't slept for the whole night as he accompanied Ophelia playing video games and doing other things. He was indeed slightly exhausted.But Joseph was well aware that Edward did not want him to be alone with Ophelia. Regardless, Joseph was fine with helping Edward with preparing breakfast.

No one could be bothered with Yvonne, who was trying to stay relevant.Ophelia was still preparing the fan merchandise when she heard the doorbell ring in the middle of the night. Within the next second, she received a WhatsApp call from Joseph, which she answered."Ophelia, open the door for me."Ophelia was surprised. She wondered what was wrong with Joseph. Shouldn't he be sleeping now? Why had he dropped by in the middle of the night?She was no longer worried, knowing that Joseph was at the door. She opened it and watched Joseph squeeze through the door while holding a large bag of what seemed to be snacks."Shouldn't you be sleeping now? Why are you here?"

Sebastian's face had turned ashen, having understood how grave the situation was. "I'll go and apologize to the Fords tomorrow. This matter mustn't drag down our family."Although Brandon doted on Yvonne, he refused to let her have her own way. "Dad, she should apologize for what she did, so you don't have to go. I'll take her to apologize to the Fords tomorrow to show our sincerity."Veronica refused to give in. She continued protecting Yvonne, feeling rather upset. "No! We should never allow our Yvonne to apologize!"Who did they take Yvonne for? Why should she apologize in person? The Fords are really misusing their power over these small squabbles.

"Dad, Mom. Yvonne has always been filming on set this whole time. How could she have offended Chelsea?

However, Yvonne became sheepish and didn't say a word.She had sought out Sebastian, Veronica, and Brandon to seek justice for her, yet she felt extremely embarrassed. She continued sobbing, sounding sadder than ever."Yvonne, what's going on? Say something! I won't know what actually happened if you keep crying!"

Yvonne had fallen to that point. She couldn't continue falling any further and get embroiled in more scandals. She averted her gaze as she took off in a hurry. Even at a distance, she could still hear the crew members mocking her name loudly while insulting her. As soon as Yvonne entered the elevator, she could no longer hold back her tears. By the time she left the elevator and reached the car, she was already a crying mess. She leaned against the steering wheel and sobbed nonstop. Once she had cried enough, she drove back to Zima Villa as her last hope. At that point, she was forced to return to beg her parents, Sebastian Zima and Veronica Pole. Meanwhile, Joseph had kept an eye on Ophelia's situation. He always had been one to keep up with the gossip and not interfere no matter how bad things got.

How could Yvonne say that her fans were for her to exploit? That was one way to drive her fans away completely. They weren't pathetic for wanting to idolize someone.Yvonne's remaining fans tagged her on Twitter to demand answers, but she dared not respond at all. A few of her die-hard fans were left dismayed and completely disappointed in her. This prompted them to announce their departure from the fandom. Meanwhile, her remaining fans were clueless and couldn't make much impact.The video exposing Yvonne's true colors triggered a new trend "A Discussion About The Relationship Between Idols And Their Fans". Many inevitably brought up Chelsea, and Damian's fans chimed in that he was even more gentle and considerate. He even beat up a worker for stalking his fans, and that revelation earned Damian more fans.The fiasco this time had caused a wave of discussion about fans in the entertainment industry. Fans were made aware of their status so they would understand that they weren't

"I don't believe idols are superior to their fans. We're equals—our bond is mutual. We're responsible for accompanying each other and growing together."Chelsea popped a signed photograph into a paper bag and handed it to her loyal fan next to her. She continued, "Some became my fans because of my looks and performance. "All these are definitely important, but I hope they continue being my fans in the future because of my character and excellent talents."I hope my fans will notice my efforts, and they'll do the same as I did—walk toward the future with determination. The fans' support and admiration will give me more confidence, and my hard work will also inspire my fans to be better."Chelsea confidently walked away from the crowd to Ophelia and took out a wet wipe to dry the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Becoming a fan doesn't mean you should exhaust yourself. "Idolizing others is also a great way to improve yourself. An idol is like a guiding light. If she doesn't hel

While Ophelia had been quite harsh, her eyes turned red as soon as she spun on her heel. She had been Yvonne's fan for so many years and idolized her. It wasn't easy for Ophelia to simply dislike her right away.But Ophelia knew that she would really be a fool if she continued looking up to Yvonne. The snippet of the exchange ended there. After that, Ophelia and the others left the backstage area with reddened eyes. It was crowded outside the performance venue. Many held red LED boards, and some even held Chelsea's fan merchandise. One glance at them told Ophelia that they were Chelsians.While it seemed crowded, everyone was actually standing in two lines in an orderly fashion. Chelsea cheerfully handed out small gift bags to her fans. Afraid that Chelsea might exhaust herself, some fans took the initiative to help her hand out the bags. Others obediently distributed hot bubble tea Chelsea had bought as well. Since the weather was getting colder, she was worried that the fans wo
