Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 129
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

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

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

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Natalie said calmly. Before leaving, Elijah seemed to sense something and glanced in their direction. A shiver ran down Natalie's spine as she squirmed in her seat."Nat, is Elijah looking at us?" Natalie's friends felt goosebumps rising all over. Natalie bit her lips. "What's there to be afraid of? They're the shameless ones behaving indecently. Why should we be scared?"Natalie clenched her phone tightly, where the screen displayed the photos and videos of Elijah and Liesel's intimate interactions. After the humiliation she faced today, she wasn't going to let Liesel off easy. Elijah and Liesel seemed so close. Who knew if the investigation results were even real? Maybe they had even planned this all along. Maybe they set her up to force her out of Ford Corporation. Natalie's face paled at the thought, and she grew angrier by the second. This time she was determined to strike back with precision. Since Elijah had been drinking, he

"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

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
