Chapter 211

The lanterns outside the auction were decorated with intricate drawings. The drawings swayed gently in the slight breeze, adding an artistic flair to the path.The guests slowly began to arrive. This time, most of them were here for Heather's research materials. They gathered in small groups of twos and threes and started discussing it. Even though they all wore amicable smiles, they knew that everyone in the room was going to be their rival at the auction.Beneath the night sky, the auction seemed like a glowing pearl, emitting a gentle yet enrapturing light.When the guests stepped through the doors, they were immediately stunned by the sight before their eyes. Murals adorned the curved ceilings in the spacious and brightly lit hall. Light spilled from hidden corners in the room, blending with the murals on the ceilings to form a mysterious yet solemn atmosphere.The floor was lined with a thick carpet. Its colors and complex patterns seemed to bring out the echoes of history.

What was Heather's handmade dress doing here?Liesel's gaze sharpened. When she looked up, her eyes met with Natalie's gloating face. Immediately, she understood what happened.The bid for the dress had already reached three million dollars. Liesel raised her paddle and called her bid. Heather's dress couldn't end up in the hands of an outsider.From afar, Natalie saw Liesel's expression turn to ice. Coquettishly, she shook Jacob's arm. "Jake, I really like that dress. Can you win it for me?"Heather's dress…Jacob pursed his lips while saying nothing. Natalie blinked innocently and continued, "Jake, do you not want to win this dress because of Liesel? I don't think she'd mind."Actually, she already had a grasp on Jacob's personality; he was unwilling to admit his feelings for Liesel. She had only brought it up knowing that Jacob would rebuke it. Or perhaps, in order to prove that he didn't feel anything for Liesel, he would get the dress for her.As she expected, Jacob's gaze

The auction came to a close.Liesel didn't stay for long. Just as she was about to exit the venue, she saw a young man waiting on guests.The young man was slim and lanky. There was a hint of aloofness in his eyes, but his face was ashen with illness. Despite this, one could still see a hint of determination on the young man's cold face.Xavier?What was he doing here? Wasn't he about to take the college entrance exam soon?Liesel approached him. The ice had already vanished from her face, leaving behind only gentleness. She stopped next to him and said, "Xavier, are you working part-time?"Xavier was stunned when he saw her. He recalled what Liesel had said when she gave him that name card, that he could call her any time.On sleepless nights, he had indeed considered calling Liesel for help. However, he only had these thoughts when he was at his weakest in the middle of the night. When the next day came around, he would psych himself up, thinking that he could solve everything

Chapter 214

Xavier put on a warm smile.But in the end, he was still young. He couldn't hide the yearning and sorrow in the depths of his eyes.Waiting tables had already become second nature for him. He couldn't even count how many part-time jobs he'd taken up.If this was in the past, Liesel wouldn't have thought that this was a big deal. But now… the college entrance exam was right around the corner, yet he wasn't studying at home. Instead, he was here at an auction, waiting on guests.Something wasn't right.Liesel's gaze darkened slightly. She fixed her gaze on Xavier. "Xavier, you have to remember that you have an exam coming up."Stunned, Xavier nodded. "Ms. Sharp, is that matter settled now?" he asked out of concern. It was evident that he'd been paying attention to Liesel's affairs.Liesel looked relieved. "It's settled now. You'll be able to see the billion-dollar scam behind that financial scheme soon."Then, she glanced at her watch. "It's getting late. I'm going to ask the m

Chapter 215

Natalie lightly stroked the red diamond earrings she was wearing, thinking to herself that it was time to tell the Scott family about Xavier's whereabouts.Holding Jacob's wrist, she giggled and whispered in his ears, "Jake, look, is that the boy we saw at Ashthorne First High School? It seems like a work of fate that he met Liesel again."Jacob's cold gaze swept over them. After a moment, he said in a deep voice, "There's no need to pay them any attention."Despite saying that, he didn't shift his gaze until Liesel left.The venue manager, Darren Lebran, approached Xavier. He patted his shoulder with a smile. "You did a great job tonight. Here's your pay. Ms. Sharp has already informed us about you, so go home early and get some rest."As he spoke, his palms were sweating. No one would have been able to tell that this poor kid had some kind of relationship with Liesel.Xavier took the cash. The amount had already been agreed upon at the beginning, but the leather envelope held a

Xavier gave her a cold look. Picking up his bag, he tried to leave. However, as he passed by Natalie, she hooked a finger around his bag strap."Xavier, don't be in a hurry to leave. Why are you so panicked and afraid? Have you been found out? Or are you in a hurry to ask Liesel to save you?"Natalie sidled up to him, encircling him like a venomous snake. Her face was adorned with a mild smile, but there was an icy vibe in the depths of her eyes. "Liesel can't even save herself, so how would she have the energy to save you?"Covering her mouth, she giggled. "Do you think that Liesel comes from some kind of nobility? Her mother died at a young age. In the years after, she grew up meek and obedient. Finally, she met a decent man, but he abandoned her. I'm sure you've heard that she has Elijah by her side now."Her gaze turned ruthless. "You might not know about Elijah's reputation in the industry, but he's a notorious womanizer. The only reason Liesel is attaching herself to him is b

Chapter 217

Feeling those eyes on her, Liesel frowned slightly. She could noticeably smell the stink of rotting garbage coming from these old apartments.Nausea rose in her gut, and she rubbed her forehead in discomfort. Ethan immediately offered her support and helped her move along.With someone leading the way, she finally found the room that Xavier was renting. It was the innermost room in that apartment.As they stood outside, they could hear all the noise in the surroundings. At this hour, the intimate noises of men and women doing the deed could be heard.In an environment like this… what was he learning? How was he going to take the college entrance exam?Liesel couldn't suppress the anger and sadness in her heart. Standing outside the door, she lifted her hand then dropped it again. Finally, she decided to silently take a step back.At last, when she made up her mind to knock, she heard giggling and shouting from inside the room.When Sky received Natalie's text, he'd immediately h

Sky tried to run away, but the bodyguards grabbed him by the arm. Then, they yanked him aside forcefully and threw him to the floor.Zack was shivering from head to toe, but he still managed to say in a harsh tone, "Who are you? I'm educating my son. How dare you get involved? Watch yourself, or I'm going to call the police and have you thugs arrested!"Xavier hid in a corner. Looking up at Zack's ferocious expression, he said in an indifferent tone, "Will you call the cops to let them know that you're forcing me to take the college entrance exams on someone's behalf?""Shut your mouth!" Zack's face turned bright red. He was about to pounce on Xavier when the bodyguard seized him by the arms at the right moment and pressed him to the floor.Liesel watched this situation unfold with an icy gaze. The father and son were jumping up and down like monkeys."Did you say that you were educating your son? Since when was my biological brother your son?" Liesel said with a dangerous chill i

Chapter 219

In order to allow Xavier to lead a quiet and normal life, Heather had entrusted Xavier to Liesel just before she died. At the time, Liesel had been too young; she didn't have the capability to take care of such a young child.She despised Jeffrey to the bone. She wished she could rip him apart and swallow him. Therefore, she didn't have any hope in him.Xavier was the child that Heather had had with another man. Jeffrey would only harbor a dark hatred for him deep down.Not only did Jeffrey hate the fact that Heather had given birth to another man's child after getting remarried, but he also hated the daughter who shared her blood.However, what made Liesel different was that she also carried the Sharp family blood. Therefore, Jeffrey was willing to raise her. Even if he was treating her like she was livestock, he was willing to watch her grow up. Then, he'd exchange her for things that would benefit him.What about Xavier? In Jeffrey's eyes, he was a "product" of Heather's betray

Chapter 220

Jordan was worried that he'd agitate Liesel even more by asking questions. Thus, he didn't say much but instead deftly changed the subject. "I've already cascaded the order. Neal and I are preparing for the financial summit. There's a foreign company working on smart devices that I'm sure you'd be interested in—""You guys can make the call." Right now, Liesel wasn't in the mood to talk about work.If she didn't even want to talk about business, then she must have been very emotionally affected. Jordan fell quiet and didn't bring up the topic again.Liesel hung up the phone. She slowly shifted her gaze to Zack and Sky. In a calm yet chilling voice, she said, "Take them back. Once we've found out everything, I'll naturally take them to the place they deserve to go.""You can't do this to us!" Zack was shaking. He was obviously scared of the retaliation he'd face if Liesel managed to dig up even more dirt. "This is kidnapping and imprisonment! You're violating our personal freedom!"
