Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 104
Liesel lowered her voice. "If I continue to attack Sharp Group, do you think the company's stocks will continue to plummet? How many people do you think will sell their shares? The other families would also take this chance to attack Sharp Group or even acquire the company by force. "If that happened, would the company still belong to you? Perhaps, to be even more cruel, they could bankrupt Sharp Group outright."Naturally, Jeffrey believed her. She was indeed capable of destroying the entirety of Sharp Group. If this matter continued to fester, Sharp Group would really be destroyed in his hands.Still, 80 million dollars was not a small sum. Sharp Group wasn't that large of an enterprise, so how could he have that much money on hand?With a red face, he said with embarrassment, "I really don't have cash on hand. Why don't you give me some more time? I will definitely give you the money in two years."Liesel laughed coolly. "In two years? Would Sharp Group even be around in two y

Having confirmed that the person who called her was Liesel, Quinn said, "You're right, it's difficult to discuss this over the phone. Do you have time tomorrow? Why don't we meet up to talk?""Since you proposed a meetup, I naturally won't refuse, Ms. Lambert." Liesel checked her schedule. "Shall we meet tomorrow at 3:00 pm at the Ford Corporation?"The reason Liesel suggested this location was to hint at her connections with the Ford Corporation. This was so that Quinn would think carefully when naming her price."I'm looking forward to meeting you, Ms. Sharp," Quinn replied.Someone who managed a huge company couldn't be an idiot, so of course Quinn knew the underlying meaning behind those words. Because of this, she also regarded Liesel with more importance. Liesel was one of the trump cards of the Ford Corporation; it would be foolish to look down on Liesel now.Since the beginning, Liesel had split the shares she'd received into two parts. Over the past few years, she'd kept

Liesel stood up and approached him. Leaning down, she stared at him intently. Her eyes glinted like obsidian. "So long as you don't lend a hand to Sharp Group, then… what I did will have been useful."Gazing at him, she asked, "Jacob, will you help Jeffrey?"Would he help Jeffrey for Natalie's sake?Jacob paused for a moment. At last, he averted his gaze and said indifferently, "I won't get involved. This is between you and your father."This time, Natalie didn't suffer that much damage. The target of the attacks and mockery was Jeffrey. Perhaps Liesel was just getting revenge for what happened on Heather's death anniversary, so he didn't have a reason to stop her."I won't," he answered mildly.Liesel finally sighed in relief and broke into a grin.She was really pretty. Whether she was smiling gently or maintaining a poker face, she always gave off a strong aura. She also had very defined features. Even though she wasn't wearing makeup now, her smile made her eyes crinkle and

Quinn gave Liesel a long stare that was deep and meaningful. Taking a trip down memory lane, she said, "Actually, when you were younger, I met you before." She cradled her arms and continued, "You were curled up in Jeffrey's arms like an adorable snowball. I'd always thought that Jeffrey treated you very well. Why do you hate him so much?"Liesel replied with a hint of sarcasm, "I thought you knew Jeffrey's true nature from the beginning, Ms. Lambert. He can be nice to me, but in the next second, he can also throw me, his biological daughter, into a fire pit. Jeffrey is just a selfish, self-serving bastard."Quinn was both taken aback and surprised. "You're really nothing like how you were before."Liesel tapped the table gently. She hadn't even touched the coffee on the table. She merely smiled and said, "If I was the same as before, I would have been trampled into the ground already."Quinn said nothing. Her background was a little unique. 20 years ago, she had been the young lad

Quinn was astounded.Liesel bowed her head while stirring her coffee. The cold air in the room made Quinn's legs feel a little chilly.Noticing this, Liesel got up to adjust the thermostat. She leaned against the conference table and said, "Blood relation is not everything. As long as the love is genuine, you can be family even if you don't share any blood. "However, without love, even if you're connected by blood, you'll end up completely engulfed with nothing left behind."Liesel adjusted the air swing. Even when she came into contact with the cold air, she didn't find it chilly. Instead, she found it comfortable. "You've been in this industry for a very long time, Ms. Lambert. Don't tell me that you don't know much about these things. How many men have gotten rich and abandoned their wives and children, allowing their mistress to humiliate their family? "How many people have transferred their assets to their illegitimate children while abusing their biological children at t

Liesel set the document down in front of Drew and flipped it open to the problematic page. She pointed to one of the terms and said, "All the terms in this contract were crafted reasonably, except this unremarkable footnote, which is the only trap."Drew couldn't help but laugh. "You spotted that. However, the new executive secretary still thinks this is a good opportunity that we should grasp."Liesel frowned. "What kind of funny prank is she trying to pull? Was this contract proposed by Natalie? Is she crazy?"Drew neither acknowledged nor denied it. "That woman is really resilient. After her car accident, she still refuses to stay at home to recover. She came to the office in a wheelchair and said that she'd received a perfect contract," he said. His words were dripping with sarcasm."What did Jacob say?""Mr. Ford still hasn't seen the contract. However, Natalie has already convinced some of the stubborn board members who like easy wins. They believe that this is a charity pro

Drew's ridicule left Natalie as white as a sheet. Just as she was about to rebuke, she suddenly heard a voice whose tone was teasing yet clearly also mocking. "Your personal emotions and unobjective delusions have already taken over your rationality. You're already unable to think rationally. If this investment fails, how will you explain it to the others?"The new visitor was none other than Elijah. He leaned against the door, giving her a pressing stare."The investment won't fail. I'll stake my career on it," Natalie said. She emphasized each word through gritted teeth.Words like that couldn't be spoken recklessly!Even Drew cocked an eyebrow when he heard that. He gave her a long look. Right now, he had a feeling that Elijah had purposely dug that hole for Natalie to jump into.Yet, Natalie was completely unaware that Elijah had just forced her into a hole. She turned toward Jacob. With a determined gaze, she said, "Mr. Ford, Mr. Rayden gave me this contract, and I have a

Natalie couldn't accept it. Her heart ached horribly.Jacob gave her a profound look and said, "Liesel majored in Financial Management, and she also took other electives related to business. During her time in school, she saved numerous companies from unfavorable contracts. "She graduated from Alden University as valedictorian with a perfect GPA. The nonprofit companies that she proposed are still generating a profit and giving back to society today."Therefore, you and Liesel were never the same. Her proposals are visionary, while yours are worth nothing."Not to mention, she had been my wife at the time. She had dared to become the guarantor because even if something did happen, she had my deep pockets to back her up. I could help her repay those billions of dollars. "But what about you?" Jacob continued. "How much money can you fork out? Do you even have millions of dollars on you?"Natalie was completely dumbstruck. Meanwhile, Elijah was laughing heartily at the side, clear

"You know how it is. It's always hard to strike a deal between two smart people."Charles laughed.He knew that when Liesel suggested a partnership with Ford Corporation to manufacture anti-cancer drugs, it was actually a huge trap.Liesel and Howard were both researchers. Who could say for sure that after they gave Ford Corporation the drug formula, they wouldn't refine the drug further and make something even more effective?Considering Liesel's and Howard's intelligence, there would undoubtedly be a more potent version of the drug. However, Liesel would never choose to continue working together with Ford Corporation. Therefore, he had decided to ask for a mile. He had asked to collaborate on the artificial intelligence project.It wasn't that he was being greedy.It was because Ford Corporation wasn't the same as it had been a year ago. He had to tread very carefully to avoid falling for someone's scheme again.Without Liesel and Drew, there were many tasks that only he and

"Do you not want to hug?" Liesel cocked her head at him. "Don't think I don't know you. I bet you already wanted to kiss me and hold me the moment you spotted Jacob. Otherwise, you wouldn't have tightened your arms around me."Hadn't Elijah done that to send Jacob a message that Liesel belonged to him?Having been together for so long, there wasn't anything that she didn't understand about him."In that case, thank you for giving me a chance and playing along." Since he couldn't think of an excuse, he just came clean. There was even a look of amusement on his face.He pulled her into his arms affectionately. She also hugged him back, like she was a child staking her territory."Should we add some more spice and kiss?"This was really becoming more and more provocative.Why not?A smile appeared on Elijah's face, as if he was saying to her, "Bring it on."And she did. She peppered Elijah's face with continuous pecks. Then, she yanked on his collar, like she was claiming him as

From a short distance away, Jacob could see Elijah's arm curled around Liesel's tiny waist. She seemed very dependent on him as she lay in his arms listlessly. It was a stark contrast to the way she behaved in public with other people.Whether it was with reporters or business partners, she always seemed like a steady pillar of strength. She was graceful and calm, but there was a hidden sharpness within her.Anyone who interacted with her could feel the hidden threat that was lurking inside of her.Yet, the Liesel now seemed to have shed all the sharp spikes on her body, revealing only the soft insides. She appeared gentle and submissive… Or rather, she only showed this side of her to her lover.He should have been the one to get all of this.He should have been her lover.He was the one who'd thrown all of this away. All he could do was watch as Elijah purposely pissed him off.He was a man too. Of course, he knew that Elijah was doing it on purpose.Of course, he resented Eli

Elijah seized Liesel's wrists while chuckling coldly. "So what if you're someone's wife? If I wanted you, all I'd have to do is tell him. Then, he'd definitely have someone clean you up nicely and send you straight into my bed."He lifted her chin with his finger. "Do you think that your husband is a decent man? Do you think that he'd disobey me for you?"Liesel swallowed. She was enraptured by the look in Elijah's eyes right now.He nibbled on her ear while patting her panicked and pale face. "If you're obedient, I'll treat you well. If you're unwilling to play along and make me happy, I'll kill your husband and lock you up in my home. You'll never see the light of day again."Stripping off her clothes, Liesel bit his earlobe and whispered, "It's such a waste that you didn't go into the acting industry with Chelsea."Elijah chuckled quietly, letting her hands roam all over him. They left a trail of fire in their wake. When he was all riled up and ready to go, Liesel suddenly hugg

Liesel left.Charles gazed at the still-warm cup of tea on the table. There was a chilling look in his eyes.This was one of the times he'd made the wrong move.After walking out of Charles' office, Liesel wasn't surprised to see Jacob. However, she didn't even stop and simply walked out.He trailed after her leisurely until she was nearly out of Ford Corporation. Just as he was about to call out to her, he heard a cheerful, gentle voice calling her name."Lili, I'm here to pick you up." Jacob's eyes darkened. When he looked up, he saw Elijah sitting in a wheelchair and smiling at Liesel.Liesel didn't mind at all that he was a cripple. With a grin on her face, she crouched down next to him. Then, she grabbed his hand and placed it against her cheek.Jacob's chest clenched when he saw that. It felt like arrows piercing his heart.Liesel could still feel Jacob's eyes on her, but she didn't care. She even pecked Elijah lightly on the lips in front of Jacob. Then, while pushing

"Charles, even though we worked together for three years, you still don't understand me at all."Liesel tapped her fingers against the desk. While it was quiet, it also sounded indescribably threatening."Have you not seen what happened to Dash?"If someone tries to snatch something from me, not only will I make their wishes come true, but I'll also make them pay the price."You can only take what I give you. If you insist on snatching what I'm unwilling to give… then you will find out the price you'll have to pay."She grinned, but it carried an obvious iciness.Dash was indeed the best example.He had tried to snatch collaboration opportunities from her, so she squashed him. And that wasn't all. She also bought his land and assets from him for dirt cheap.Dash tried to steal her data and establish his own vehicle manufacturing plant in Draskia, so she simply chased him and all his businesses out of Draskia.Anyone who tried to plot against her and steal from her suffered hor

"If you have something that even Jacob doesn't, you must be very loyal to him.""Thanks for the compliment." Charles chuckled quietly. "Of course, I am loyal to Mr. Ford. It's because I'm loyal to Mr. Ford that I kept the evidence just in case."If Matthew decided to betray Mr. Ford one day, then I could use this to retaliate against him. After all, you also know that Matthew is far from a nice person."Jacob placed a lot of importance on Matthew because his parents had passed away early, so he'd been raised by Matthew and Vincent since he was younger. He ended up viewing Matthew as somewhat of a father figure. His love for his family had ended up blinding him, making him unwilling to bring harm to Matthew.However, Charles was different. He didn't have any significant feelings toward Matthew. He only cared about protecting Jacob's interests.Matthew was a selfish person who only cared about his own interests. This was why Charles had gone against Jacob's orders and kept the evi

If it had been Elijah who'd done this, what would Liesel have done?Could she still be so righteous?However, Jacob's words only made her stifle a laugh. Without even turning around, she said sardonically, "If Elijah was this kind of person, then I would never have gotten together with him."Whether it comes to family or lovers, first of all, they should have the right principles. They should know what they should or shouldn't do."Even a child can tell what's right from wrong, but an adult like Matthew doesn't know where to draw the line. Jacob, one day he will pay the price for everything that he's done."In the end, Jacob didn't stop her from leaving.He couldn't help but clench his fists. His eyes darkened.Liesel had always been strongly opposed to evil. Making things worse, Drew was the scapegoat for Matthew's misdeeds this time.Over the years, Jacob had already gotten Matthew out of trouble countless times. He was getting tired of it.He really wanted to call out to Li

Natalie wanted to destroy Ford Corporation as soon as possible.Once there was a new leader in Ford Corporation, would Jacob still be so arrogant?Natalie laughed coldly. Then, she remembered the words she heard in the hospital, and her expression frosted over.She thought that since she was already in the same boat as Edward, and that Edward might become the future leader of Ford Corporation, she could go for him instead.After all, Edward was tall and handsome. In her eyes, he wasn't inferior to Jacob at all.However, she never thought… that Edward already had a lover, and that it was his sister, Ophelia, of all people.Till today, she still remembered how that bitch, Ophelia, had once insulted her because of her background. To defend Liesel, Ophelia had mocked her for being a bastard child.How come Ophelia deserved to be with Edward? They were siblings! Even if they weren't related by blood, they had still grown up as brother and sister. Weren't they afraid of getting expose
