Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 123
The night sky was empty, yet it seemed the whole universe was shining in Liesel's eyes.Jacob watched her.Liesel only cast a brief glance at him before shifting her gaze elsewhere.Jacob had always known that she was extraordinary.Since marrying him, she had gone out of her way to prove herself. She was always buried in complex plans and a packed schedule. Their interactions were mostly limited to work and the bedroom.He knew Liesel could play the piano, but he had never truly seen her play.Dressed in a fiery red evening gown, she radiated a brilliance so dazzling it seemed to light up the room.In his eyes, everything else faded into the background the moment Liesel entered.Her slender, graceful fingers flew across the piano keys, filling the room with a powerful and passionate melody. The music wasn't just beautiful. It was commanding. It added a striking strength to her already captivating charm.She was breathtaking.Not far from the stage stood a grove of locust tre

Liesel's irritation was growing."Ophelia, this is no longer his decision to make."Her smile widened. "Even if he gave me a choice, I wouldn't choose him. What we had is really over."Her voice carried a lightness. It was as if she had finally been freed.Ophelia sighed heavily, knowing there was no point in trying to convince her further. Still, she couldn't help but privately resent Natalie."When you met Natalie at Heritage Hotel, I happened to be there too. Ophelia, don't make it hard for her anymore. She's the kind of person who doesn't deserve your attention."Ophelia mumbled under her breath, "I just can't stand her arrogant attitude. She's a mistress and an illegitimate child, yet she acts so cocky. It's disgusting."Liesel couldn't help but shake her head slightly.Ophelia noticed and grunted. "Fine, I'll stop. I won't let that woman come near me again. If she does, I won't let her off easily. Liesel, I've got a dance to get to, so I'm leaving now."With that, Opheli

"Ms. Sharp not only looked at my notes but also borrowed them. She gave me her business card and offered me the chance for an internship. You all saw it from such a distance, didn't you?"Vivian felt even more grateful to Liesel now.Liesel must have known exactly what she would face when she returned, which is why she stepped in to help her beforehand. If not, things would have been much harder for her.Sheyna laughed mockingly."Now you're saying all that? Do you really think we didn't notice you were originally trying to get Mr. Ford's attention? In fact, Ms. Sharp nearly tripped over you when you bumped into her."Vivian's expression darkened. She felt a pang of guilt. Before she could respond, a soft laugh came from behind her."She came to find me. Do we really need to overcomplicate something so simple?"Liesel stood behind Vivian. Her gaze was firm and authoritative.Sheyna was stunned into silence for a moment before stammering, "She was clearly after Mr. Ford...""I

Liesel gave him a faint smile. Just as she was about to say something to Vivian, she noticed Sheyna in the banquet hall stumble and twist her ankle."Ah!" Sheyna cried out.The red wine she had been drinking dripped from her head, splattering onto her pristine white gown and leaving a messy stain across her chest.People around her glanced with disdain. It was almost absurd how someone could be so clumsy as to spill wine all over themselves.Vivian was momentarily stunned, and the people nearby exchanged confused looks at the scene.Liesel rubbed her temples and let out a sigh.The flustered Sheyna clumsily hurried toward the restroom. In her rush, her left foot tangled with her right, and she stumbled forward. She crashed into a long table piled with food.The white tablecloth flopped over her face, and instinctively, she reached out to grab it for support. A moment later, a loud crash echoed as the tablecloth came off, and the dishes piled on the table rained down on her.She

Although Sheyna noticed everyone's doubtful gaze, she didn't calm down. Instead, she grew even more furious. She shouted, demanding an explanation from Vivian, and even insisted on reviewing the surveillance footage.However, no one had come near Sheyna. She had fallen on her own, and all of this was just nonsense.Whispers spread among the crowd, followed by mocking smiles.At that moment, Jacob raised his arm. Everyone turned to look, including Sheyna."Take her away. She's too loud," he coldly said. His tone carried a hint of annoyance.The farce had gone on long enough. Finally, a lecturer from the finance faculty stepped forward to apologize. He even went to assist Sheyna himself.His demeanor seemed gentle, but he was dragging her forcefully toward the door.Seeing herself in such a miserable state, especially in front of the person she admired, Sheyna couldn't hold back her tears. The rejection was too much for her. She burst into loud sobs.She struggled to break free f

Jacob made it a habit to leave early, but this time, it was for Natalie.Since they weren't standing too far apart, Liesel saw Natalie's call and smiled lightly. "Alright, Mr. Ford. Take care."Her elegant smile and demure demeanor felt both familiar and distant. Liesel always seemed like this nowadays.Jacob gave her one last, profound look before leaving.As he reached the door, he glanced back. His gaze was intense and impossible to read."Boss, where are you headed?" Drew asked.Jacob paused for a moment. "Back to the apartment."Drew was surprised but didn't question it. He got into the car and drove off.With Jacob gone, Alex and Denzel lost interest as well. Having had enough for the night, they said their goodbyes to Liesel and left.Liesel didn't linger much longer.After returning from the party, Liesel took a shower. With her hair still damp, she sat on the balcony to enjoy the breeze.The air conditioning was on inside, while the heat outside made for a strange m

Today would be Natalie's make-or-break day. To others, this was just a meeting, but to her, it was the most crucial turning point of her life to date.Liesel set aside the document and was about to leave when Natalie grabbed her wrist tightly. Stopping in her tracks, she lowered her gaze at Natalie. "What's the matter?" she asked coldly."You must be waiting for me to make a fool of myself, aren't you?" Natalie bit her lower lip, appearing as though she was sure that Liesel had that idea on her mind. "I'm telling you, it's you and Elijah who have made a mistake this time. It will not be me!"Liesel was composed. She looked up and said, "Why are you afraid, then?""Afraid? Why would I be afraid? I'm excited and happy. Soon, I'm going to be… a senior executive manager in Ford Corporation, a position you'll never reach in your life," Natalie said in a low voice. She was trying to pressure Liesel."You're amazing, then." Liesel's face was stoic as she left.Clutching her fists tigh

Elijah was so close to Liesel when he whispered to her that his warm breath brushed past her ear and sent an uncomfortable tingling through her.Liesel raised her eyes and gave him a warning look. Clearly, she didn't want him to continue acting intimate with her.Elijah smirked, and his flirtatious eyes glinted with glee. The smell of his cologne was really strong, but maybe it wasn't the smell that was strong. Maybe Elijah was a just person who resembled a ferocious beast.He already thought of Liesel as his prey, but Liesel didn't like feeling like a prey. That was why she warned him.Elijah was undaunted as he didn't receive an answer. He said, "I take it as a yes since you didn't say no. So, are we meeting tonight?"Although he wasn't loud, Drew, who was dragged to the side, heard everything clearly.What did he mean that they'd meet at night? Drew wanted to snap at him, but he couldn't. All he could do was sit on the other side of Jacob. Stroking his nose helplessly, he sa

"I would never force my personal opinions on you. However... as you all know, companies that have already made breakthroughs in 3D technology have accumulated strong financial backing. After 3D comes holograms... and what comes after that?"What I offer you is always the latest cutting-edge technology. Tell me, what can anyone else provide you with that can match that? Immediate gains or long-term benefits—what is it that I can't offer?"Greed was a part of human nature.You give someone a hundred, and they'll want a thousand. You give them a thousand, and they'll want ten thousand.Liesel didn't know what the Hardins were offering, but whatever it was, she could certainly offer more. In the face of immense benefits, small, petty gains couldn't compare.The deals she could bring in were big deals and not empty promises. Just her recent 3D imaging had already caused Hardin Group's stock prices to skyrocket.Even with what happened to Elijah, Hardin Group's stock barely even droppe

Jordan raised an eyebrow as his gaze settled on Sam's gentle smile. He had encountered his fair share of duplicitous businessmen—those with dark hearts, aggressive tendencies, or deeply buried schemes. But to Jordan, Sam was nothing more than a fool. "Mr. Sam, I thought you only had one brother?" Jordan narrowed his eyes. "And isn't that Mr. Elijah? Since when did you and Uriah become so chummy?"Elijah's barely out of the picture, and yet here you are, toasting drinks and forming alliances. It seems your so-called 'brotherly bond' with him wasn't all that deep." Sam had always harbored a hidden resentment toward Elijah. For years, he had quietly hated him. He kept this dark feeling hidden because he knew he was a failure, reliant on Elijah's protection and care for the rest of his life.So, he had to play a part, pretending to be someone he wasn't.The truth was, he knew deep down that he was already mentally disturbed, a parasite hiding in the shadows.Uriah and Elijah s

"Wait! My friend's a top talent agent! I'm sending this guy's photo to them right now. Seriously, that guy's face alone is going to make him jump for joy!" "He's standing next to Liesel and he still manages to stand out? That's what you call a real beauty!" Those who recognized Jordan's name were stunned. "Wait, are you guys seriously saying you don't know who Jordan is?" "Jordan! As in Shifter Corporation's vice president!" "Shifter Corporation? The multinational conglomerate that's basically untouchable? The same one with international influence, where even seasoned capital firms clamor for partnerships?"Yeah, Shifter Corporation. Do you want him to ditch all that to join the entertainment industry? Are you out of your mind? Do you have any idea how much he earns per second?" The chat slowed down for a brief moment before exploding in a torrent of frenzied comments. "Jordan lives up to the hype. That face could make anyone lose their train of thought." "So,

Liesel raised her gaze. Her eyes were cold as they locked onto Uriah. The chill radiating from her was impossible to miss. "And who exactly are you supposed to be?" she asked with one hand resting lightly on the edge of the table. "I worked at Ashthorne for three years and never once heard of some grand figure like you at Hardin Group." She made a shocked face. "Ah, Mr. Uriah. My apologies. It's been so long since I've seen you. You look so diminished. Have you lost your appetite? Or maybe you're just too weak to keep up." The remark was a blatant jab. Everyone in the room knew it hadn't been long since Elijah ousted Uriah from his position at Hardin Group—a coup that wouldn't have been possible without Liesel's support. To Uriah, Elijah couldn't have taken Hardin Group away without Liesel. She was the reason he had lost everything. He slammed his hand on the table as he stood abruptly. "Liesel! Without you, do you think Elijah would've had the guts to take Hardin Group

"I'm not crazy, but sitting in a wheelchair for negotiations is not my style." Jordan rubbed his temples. "Ms. Sharp, you're stunning enough. You could sit in a wheelchair and still be the most beautiful person in the room. Can you just be reasonable for once?" "No," Liesel shot back. "If I'm sitting in a wheelchair next to you, it'll make you look better than me. I can't have that." Jordan was annoyed. It wasn't his fault that he was good-looking. "Fine. I'll bring the wheelchair, but you don't have to use it. Just promise me you'll call if you feel like you need it. I'll be right there." Liesel trusted Jordan completely. But she knew that showing even a hint of weakness would give the board members ammunition to undermine her. They'd latch onto the fact that she was recovering from a miscarriage. They would turn that into a weapon to question her capability.When they arrived at Hardin Group, the board meeting was already underway. Employees gave Liesel suspicious loo

"The Hardins claim that Mr. Hardin was a hopeless romantic who foolishly left all his assets and shares to Liesel in his will. If they can't find Mr. Hardin's body, Liesel becomes the sole beneficiary. She'll inherit years' worth of the Hardin Group's wealth!" "Get rich and lose the husband? That's definitely suspicious!" "The issue is that Liesel cheated with Elijah. She moved on seamlessly, only to have her child with Elijah miscarried shortly after leaving Ford Corporation. And now Elijah's in trouble? Who wouldn't think Liesel's involved?" "If I were one of the Hardins, I'd be fuming too!" "If Liesel orchestrated all this, she needs to be investigated thoroughly. She's a cold-blooded murderer who doesn't see people as anything but obstacles to her ambitions!" "Liesel's no saint, but are the Hardins any better? Let's be real—they only care about what Elijah left behind. Otherwise, why call a board meeting at a time like this? Why not focus on finding Elijah? It's absu

Elijah's gaze remained cold. "You should know by now that the Hardins are eager for me to solidify ties with the Miller family through marriage. Liesel would never tolerate a betrayal like that."Matthew's eyes widened. He glared at Elijah with a hatred so intense, it was as if he were facing his mortal enemy."You're insane! With Liesel by your side, why would you even consider someone like Belinda?"Elijah hadn't contacted Belinda. He wanted to convince Matthew that his ties to Liesel were irreparably broken. He didn't want Matthew to continue to have a hold on her. He couldn't bear to be Liesel's weak link.Elijah clenched his fists as his expression clouded with sadness. He didn't need a doctor to tell him how broken he was. He was nothing more than a cripple now. Someone like him had no right to stand by Liesel's side.The woman he loved deserved a man who was exceptional in every way. And yet, that someone could never be him.Liesel was surrounded by extraordinary men like
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 373
Matthew stood still. His gaze was fixed on the large screen in the lab. Liesel's uploaded video was on an endless loop, and his eyes glimmered with unsettling obsession.The faint sound of movement behind him drew his attention. He turned and towered over Elijah who had just begun to regain consciousness on the hard floor."Mr. Hardin, we meet again."Elijah leaned against the icy wall while fighting to stay awake. His right arm hung at an unnatural angle. It was dislocated. With a sharp breath, he held it with his good arm, and with a sickening crack, he pushed it back in place.His lower body was in agony. He was in so much pain that his face paled. Sweat soaked through his shirt as he forced himself to meet Matthew's gaze."I suspected it might be you, but I didn't think you'd have hundreds of cars go after me just to prove me right. I'm flattered.""Oh, don't flatter yourself, Mr. Hardin. It wasn't just me." Matthew stepped closer."You've made a lot of enemies. Did you real
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 372
Neither outcome would satisfy Jordan. If Elijah was crippled, he would no longer be worthy of Liesel. If Elijah wasn't, then Liesel and Shifter Corporation were sure to suffer severe losses. Either way, Elijah had become an obstacle Jordan hadn't anticipated. He needed answers so he could act. The oppressive heat and humidity broke as rain poured down in torrents. Sheets of water blurred Liesel's vision as they slammed against the ground. The sharp, metallic sound of rain on the wreckage pierced the air and intensified the stench of the wreckage. Liesel clutched at her chest while trying to suppress the wave of nausea clawing its way up her throat. "Let's go back. I know Elijah is alive." She didn't elaborate further. She lowered her gaze as she headed back to the car. Once inside, she pulled out her phone and scrolled through Elijah's last messages. "Heritage Hotel just introduced a new seasonal dish. Should we take Xavier there after his exams?" Before Liesel could
