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
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 133
Although Elijah had drunk a lot of alcohol, he wasn't drunk yet. His dark eyes, which were looking glassy a minute ago, were now focused and glinting with an icy light. His sinister smile inspired fear.The researcher who had too much to drink suddenly sobered up and waved his hands nervously. "Let's forget the drink. Mr. Hardin, I should have watched my words."He scurried back to his seat in a pathetic state, not daring to say another word. Then, Elijah set down the vodka and turned to Liesel, who was still wearing a calm expression.However, she almost laughed in exasperation. "You're not drunk, Elijah. Were you pretending?" When she recalled the way he snuggled against her, she couldn't stop herself from stomping hard on his feet."My lady, please have mercy" Elijah hissed, aware that Liesel was annoyed by his pretense earlier. He admitted, "I won't get drunk by this amount of alcohol. Otherwise, all these years of drinking would have been in vain."Sure enough, he was putti

"She thinks too highly of herself. She won't even have a drink when she's nothing more than a man's toy!"These were already some of the milder comments. The others were filled with vulgar words and obscene remarks that made one's stomach churn. Elijah's expression grew colder by the minute, and even the surrounding temperature seemed to drop around him."Fire him, and report him to the police," Liesel demanded coldly."I consider myself someone with a reputable standing in Ashthrone. Even heirs from prominent families would treat me with respect, and every bit of it was achieved through my own abilities. "Yet, despite that, I've become the target of his indecent livestream. Can you imagine what the other female researchers at the institute might have endured at his hands? "Can we even be sure that that bastard hasn't sexually assaulted them?" Liesel's every word resonated deeply with Elijah. "I'll get to the bottom of this and make sure you get justice. You stay here. I'll
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 135
Facing the camera, Liesel had an unmistakable cold smirk playing on her lips. Though she was smiling, her biting mockery cut through even through the screen. Everyone watching the livestream at that moment panicked. They frantically tried to exit the app, but it was impossible. It was as though their phones had stopped working, or as if someone else had somehow seized control of their devices, making it impossible to leave. These repulsive men, who only dared emerge at night and hide in the shadows to indulge their vile thoughts, were finally in a frenzy. Some of them smashed their phones, while others tossed their phones into water, thinking they had escaped the ordeal once the screen went black. But reality had different plans. Soon after, every single one of them heard a knock at their door. Even those who had destroyed their phones were all taken away. How could the police miss them when Liesel had already mapped out their coordinates? It was the easiest catch.Liesel d

Ophelia still remembered the melancholy and confusion that she'd seen in Edward's eyes. He had looked like a young boy who couldn't find his way home.The moment Edward saw her, he stubbed out his cigarette. Holding her hand, he led the bleary-eyed Ophelia back to the bedroom.Worried that she'd catch a cold from the freezing winds, he made her a cup of hot chamomile tea. She didn't like the taste, so he had to try his hardest to coax her into drinking it.Upset, she said to him accusingly, "Edward, I feel I'm turning into a chamomile plant."Edward laughed.He was handsome. Even when he laughed, he looked attractive. Amusement bloomed on his charming and elegant face.She complimented him dazedly, "Edward, you're really good-looking."Even though she was still mad that she'd been coaxed into drinking a whole mug of chamomile tea, she still found herself lost in his handsomeness. Edward's eyes were curved from his broad grin, and he reached out to rub her head."You're very goo

"So it is because of Stanley.""Well, I'm much older than you. Stanley is young so there wouldn't be a generation gap between you two. You must like someone younger."That's not all. Stanley has excellent grades. I naturally understand that you'd choose him. After all, he's the first guy you've ever called your boyfriend."You don't have to say anything; I understand. I'm not up to standard. Stanley will definitely achieve greater things than me in the future, so I shouldn't keep clinging to you…" I must have put you in a difficult position. If I had known that you had picked Stanley, I wouldn't have come back and disturbed you. I've disturbed the peace in your life."Every single word Edward said felt like a stab in Ophelia's heart.Was he crazy? Why was he talking about Stanley in every sentence?Ophelia tried her hardest to bite her tongue, but in the end, she failed to hold her anger in."You keep talking about Stanley, but didn't I already tell you that we've broken up?

Ophelia snatched the junk food box in a huff to fill the gift boxes with snacks."You! Stop causing trouble!""Okay, okay! I'll stop messing around." With that, Joseph muttered, "It was just a few sweets…"Ophelia glared at him. Joseph immediately cleared his throat and no longer uttered a word. Instead of teasing her, he also began helping her pack the boxes. Not trusting him, Ophelia intentionally inspected each box. She only felt assured to hand him the boxes once she was certain none of the chocolates or snacks were missing.Not long after Joseph started packing, he began looking around absentmindedly. He looked down and noticed many private messages on Ophelia's phone. Those still part of Yvonne's fandom had sent those messages. They were scolding Ophelia.Ophelia merely glanced at the messages before nonchalantly turning off the phone screen. Not only were she and Joseph done wrapping the boxes, but Edward had finished preparing breakfast as well. Edward prepared all of

"Oh!" Joseph exclaimed. He whirled around and took a step back before patting Edward's palm. "Shouldn't you give me something in return for my advice? A present or something, right?"Edward came off as rather domineering as he asked icily, "Tell me which car you want. What model and series? When do you want it?"Yes, Edward had brought up cars. Joseph's eyes lit up. "I want the latest SUV from Land Rover within the next three days."It wasn't as if Joseph couldn't afford the car. He simply liked messing with his friends. After all, free things were the best. "Sure." Joseph continued flatteringly, "Bro, this is how it works. Women are usually more soft-hearted, especially someone like Ophelia at her age. You should give in sometimes."Be shameless if she ever tries to drive you away. Hug her and act pitiful by saying that you don't want to leave her. Say that you can't sleep or will have nightmares if you don't see her. You can even be more dramatic."Joseph was quick-witted enou

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. After all, he was there for the drama.Every three days, a housekeeper would drop by Ophelia's condominium and replenish her fridge with all kinds of fresh vegetables and fruits. While studying abroad, Edward wasn't used to the local fast food. Hence, he became independent and learned how to prepare meals on his own. Now, he was an excellent cook.However, Edward was still at a loss on how to

Ophelia took a picture of the fan merchandise she had wrapped before posting it on Twitter, where Chelsians were still waiting for the giveaway. 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?" Ophelia couldn't help but roll her eyes."You're not asleep either." Joseph went through the large bag before finally fishing out a game controller, which was also a limited-edit

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!" Veronica was so upset that she began tearing up.Yvonne threw herself into Veronica's arms. "Mom! What am I going to do? They're going to blacklist me from the industry.
