"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

"The small country you mentioned was split from its neighboring country. Why do you think nobody dares to interfere when it's often in conflict? That's their internal issue, and it's not our country that should conquer that small country. You'd be setting Ford Corporation on fire by doing this," Liesel said.Blood drained from Natalie's face as the senior management of Hardin Group looked at her like she was an idiot. Humiliated, she balled her fists to suppress her emotions.At this point, Natalie no longer had any right to resist. This contract must not be signed.The meeting came to an end with the senior management of Ford Corporation looking solemn because they were ashamed. On the other hand, the senior management of Hardin Group left while sniggering.When everyone from Hardin Group had left, the employees of Ford Corporation couldn't hold their tongues anymore. "The collaboration suggested by Natalie isn't good enough to be presented at all.""She was an art student befo

Perhaps it was because she was overjoyed that Liesel kept returning to her seat to sip on her juice. On the other hand, Elijah had drunk a lot of alcohol because of these people. Right now, he was sitting next to Liesel with a glass of wine in his hand. He took a sip every couple of minutes.He was a little tipsy from the wine, and his bright, mesmerizing eyes were glistening, gentle, and flirtatious as he gazed at people.He looked harmless with his cheek propped on his palm as he wore a smile on his face without any reason.Liesel merely took a glance at him and thought that he looked like a male vixen now. Any female researcher who met his gaze was stunned for a second before looking away nervously. Then, they would quietly suppress the butterflies in their stomachs. Elijah was usually a chatterbox, but right now, he was sitting quietly in a corner. Looking at him, Liesel reckoned that he was drunk."Are you drunk, Elijah?" she asked."Yeah," he replied. Inching closer to h

Austin didn't get to witness Liesel's downfall, but instead, he found himself in trouble. His overwhelming desire to bring her down had made him reckless.Investigators from White-Collar Crime Division arrived at Hardin Group. They wasted no time as they launched an in-depth investigation. The theft of such a groundbreaking research project by foreign competitors was a severe blow to the nation's industry and had drawn top-level attention.No one was allowed to leave the premises, and all employees of the research department were under scrutiny.Austin's gaze was cold and venomous. He felt nothing but contempt for Elijah and the others. To him, these men were pathetic fools for degrading themselves for a woman. How could they still call themselves men?He didn't mind the investigation. They wouldn't find anything on him anyway.His dealings with Alisha had been carried out discreetly, leaving no trace. Alisha had handled everything. None of it could be tied back to him.He was in

"Mr. Hardin has always protected Ms. Sharp," someone whispered. "He left a will that stated he would give everything to her. But as long as he's alive, that will doesn't matter. No man could tolerate such betrayal. Ms. Sharp will definitely be kicked out of Hardin Group."By the end of her words, her voice had begun to tremble. Sobs broke out of her chest. She sounded utterly pitiful.Austin wiped his face again and heaved a heavy sigh to blend in. No one knew about the chilling malice and deep satisfaction hiding in his eyes.Just then, slow, deliberate footsteps echoed down the hallway, followed by the sound of the glass door being pushed open.Everyone's heads turned. The murmured discussions fell silent, and the tense air became heavy with a solemn weight.Austin lowered his hand from his mouth and arranged his face into an expression of anxious unease.The moment he had been waiting for had finally arrived. He wanted to see for himself just how far Liesel would fall and how

Austin's face was pale, and he looked down, seemingly like everyone else in the room. But a closer look would reveal that he was the most different of all.A sly smile tugged at his lips. There was even a flicker of light in his eyes, showing an air of ease and satisfaction. He was disconnected from the sorrows of those around him.How was Liesel doing now?The thought crossed Austin's mind, and he couldn't help but blink with interest.The peak of her life was just ahead. With one step, Liesel could have everything everyone dreamed of—applause, wealth, status, and a bright future.But at the closest moment to success, her outstretched hand was brutally severed, and her foot fell into an empty void.The pain must have been excruciating.Austin shook his head and sighed inwardly. Liesel was so pitiful.He put his freshly cleaned glasses back on his high nose bridge. Avoiding the gazes of others, he wore a most comfortable smile.He thought with satisfaction, "I climbed over you

An elderly man sitting next to Richard said, "One month. Liesel has to go if things aren't settled in a month."Felix looked at Liesel, who nodded.And just like that, it was decided.Richard, along with his subordinates, left the meeting room. As they passed Liesel, Richard shot her a look full of disdain.Liesel stood there with a faint smile. She was completely indifferent to the situation.As the group walked by, Howard subtly extended his long leg.Richard tripped and went tumbling to the ground, landing face-first. As he scrambled up, he glared back with a grim expression.He could deal with Liesel and plot against Felix, but Howard was a different story. He couldn't do a thing to him."Let's go, Ms. Sharp." Howard stood up leisurely while casually adjusting his silver-gray tie. His Adam's apple sat perfectly at the collar of his shirt.Howard had once again reached new heights of attractiveness today.In the elevator, Liesel asked curiously, "You didn't even use a remo

Felix nodded at Liesel, who was standing on stage. Just as he was about to speak, his phone began buzzing loudly.Every phone call was crucial during such a critical moment. Felix waved his hand, gesturing for everyone to wait for a moment. He checked his phone and saw that he had received more than ten of the same videos over and over again. On the video thumbnail was a silhouette of Liesel embracing Thomas.Felix's fingers twitched as he looked up at Liesel, who was still waiting for his response. At the same time, all the other executives' phones vibrated. Everyone had received the same videos. The crowd stared in shock at the sight of Liesel and Thomas in those videos. She had cheated on Elijah by hooking up with Thomas. Didn't that imply it was actually possible for her to betray Hardin Group? That was the crucial moment Richard had been waiting for. He couldn't help but give some sarcastic remarks. "How exciting for you, Ms. Sharp. You've used my son to take everything aw
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 609
Howard paused, but he wasn't surprised that Richard was trying to cast the blame on Liesel at that moment. Felix also instantly looked up with a fiery gaze. He really didn't understand why they weren't coming up with a solution at that moment. Instead, Richard wanted to continue the internal conflict and fight for some power that outsiders would consider insignificant.Dakota hurriedly placed a hand on Felix's shoulder and hinted for him to calm down. Dakota continued, "Mr. Donner, the same technology with the exact specifications happened to be released before we could even launch it."Things can't be that coincidental. We must get to the bottom of this, but we shouldn't panic and lose our composure either."The turbulent emotions within Felix faded away instantly as he ordered, "As long as the matter isn't clear yet, no one is allowed to make any statements that would negatively impact the company or their colleagues!" The first order of business was to keep everyone's mouths

"No. Ms. Sharp wants to achieve a global market share of 35%.""Wow! That target is insane! If Ms. Sharp succeeds, won't our company be making a fortune? Those two are our most profitable projects!""We can't be sure how much our company will earn since those amounts are way beyond our imagination. We might as well think about how much bonuses we'll receive this year.""I think I can use my bonuses this time to pay a down payment for a house in Ashthorne. I might even be able to get a nice car."Everyone's excited voices drifted across the spacious office. Their eyes lit up with excitement and hope. Austin tossed the files aside before reaching for his phone to send a text. "It's time." After sending the message, he deleted it instantly, and the chat vanished as well.A moment later, an overseas car manufacturer suddenly announced some earth-shattering news, causing a stir across the automotive industry.At the same time, Augustine's family also revealed their cancer treatment
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 607
These new projects were worth hundreds of millions in the market, and Liesel was the reason everyone could enjoy the profits. Before the announcement was even over, rounds of applause echoed across the meeting room several times.The optimized cancer treatment medication was enough to surpass the related treatments that foreign countries had always dominated. The medication had outperformed those of the Bergs' family company, which led to Hardin Group capturing their market share.Everyone in the meeting room beamed at Liesel on stage. Even Richard was amazed by how profitable these projects were.Howard held a remote as he leisurely controlled a colorful drone. Despite being present at such a crucial meeting, he remained carefree and indifferent. However, no one dared to criticize him. He was the only one who could develop the blueprint Liesel had drafted. Hardin Group could only go as far as Howard's strong capabilities.The executives' faces had gone red from excitement, and s

Of course, Thomas heard of Elijah before and became indignant instantly. "I can definitely achieve whatever Elijah has! He always spends his time flirting with women. How could I not be better than him?" Thomas was disdainful. To him, Elijah was a spoiled heir just like himself. "You've not kept up with Elijah for so long." Cameron seemed to have aged a lot in a moment. "He's been pretending all this while. Have a look for yourself."Cameron had ordered someone to organize all information related to Elijah last night so Thomas could have a look once he was awake. Thomas looked through every page. The more he read, the more despondent he grew.Elijah pretended to be useless, but Thomas was truly incompetent. If Thomas had to make a point, the Kellers were far wealthier than the Hardins. In terms of looks, Elijah was known for being attractive. Thomas was even once worried that Liesel might find him too muscular.Thomas' eyes lit up as he read the last part of the files. It deta
