"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
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

"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

Natalie watched as the car disappeared into the distance. Her hands slowly clenched into fists at her sides. She sped back home, locking herself in her bedroom as soon as she arrived. She began drafting a post for the internet. The post explained how Liesel and Elijah had gotten together and colluded with each other, with Liesel helping Elijah seize control of the Hardin family. It also claimed Elijah had sabotaged the partnership just to help Liesel get back at her. After posting it online, Natalie finally let out a soothing sigh of relief. "Just wait. Both of you will be ruined by tomorrow!" she murmured. Meanwhile, after Liesel enjoyed the cool night breeze during the ride, Elijah dropped her off outside her apartment. It was only after Liesel entered her building that Elijah placed a hand over his chest. A faint smile formed on his lips. He had to admit that watching a composed Liesel tapping swiftly away at the keyboard in the private lounge, unfazed even when facing t

The research related to holography? Wayne froze, not expecting this to be the reason for Matthew's visit. However, he knew Elijah would surely kill him for revealing this information. "No, no, no… You don't know how Elijah is. He'll kill me!" Wayne trembled uncontrollably, but Matthew ignored his fear. After a while, Matthew frowned slightly. His tone was laced with a chilling edge. "If you don't talk, you'll die anyway. You're afraid of Elijah. Aren't you afraid of me?"Matthew's icy stare bore into him, and Wayne could feel the barely contained menace radiating from him. "Mr. Ford, please don't force me. I really…" Wayne wrapped his arms around his head, not daring to meet Matthew's gaze. One of Matthew's black-clad bodyguards grabbed Wayne by the head, forcing him to look up and meet Matthew's gaze. Even as Wayne continued shaking, Matthew stared at the panicked man before him with an unyielding coldness. Suddenly, for some reason, Matthew smiled gently. "There's no

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

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!"

Yvonne had fallen to that point. She couldn't continue falling any further and get embroiled in more scandals. She averted her gaze as she took off in a hurry. Even at a distance, she could still hear the crew members mocking her name loudly while insulting her. As soon as Yvonne entered the elevator, she could no longer hold back her tears. By the time she left the elevator and reached the car, she was already a crying mess. She leaned against the steering wheel and sobbed nonstop. Once she had cried enough, she drove back to Zima Villa as her last hope. At that point, she was forced to return to beg her parents, Sebastian Zima and Veronica Pole. Meanwhile, Joseph had kept an eye on Ophelia's situation. He always had been one to keep up with the gossip and not interfere no matter how bad things got. He even intentionally messaged Edward, leaving him uneasy after learning what happened to Ophelia. Joseph: "Are you aware that Ophelia has been bullied?"Joseph: "Do you remembe

How could Yvonne say that her fans were for her to exploit? That was one way to drive her fans away completely. They weren't pathetic for wanting to idolize someone.Yvonne's remaining fans tagged her on Twitter to demand answers, but she dared not respond at all.

Meanwhile, her remaining fans were clueless and couldn't make much impact.The video exposing Yvonne's true colors triggered a new trend "A Discussion About The Relationship Between Idols And Their Fans".

He even beat up a worker for stalking his fans, and that revelation earned Damian more fans.The fiasco this time had caused a wave of discussion about fans in the entertainment industry. Fans were made aware of their status so they would understand that they weren't
