Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 173
Elijah also wore the same black robe, but his demeanor was more reserved. He seemed much more carefree, though that didn't make him any less threatening than Jacob.Elijah looked up while stroking his thin lips. It was as if he was trying to show off or even declare his dominance.Jacob stood rooted to the spot, his darkened gaze fixed on Elijah's and Liesel's figures. He had no idea when Drew showed up beside him. Drew dutifully handed the information he'd gathered to Jacob, who frowned when he saw Natalie's gloating smile in the surveillance footage."Mr. Ford, what do you need me to do?" Drew asked. He had an idea of what likely happened last night.It was definitely Natalie who harbored sinister thoughts of ruining Liesel. She wanted Elijah to see Liesel and Jacob kiss, causing Liesel to lose Elijah's protection.Even Drew's gentle gaze had turned cold and filled with disdain toward Natalie. "There's no need to do anything."Jacob tore the documents before tossing the bit

A look of contemplation appeared on Liesel's cool face. "I'll be there," she finally said.After a pause, she looked up at Jacob. "I'll bring Elijah along."Once Liesel finished speaking, she did not stay any longer and left with Elijah. She only clenched her fists after getting into the car, unable to suppress the hatred in her heart. "Liesel, something's off about you."Liesel pursed her lips as she gazed at Elijah beside her, but she did not respond.Elijah did not bring it up again. To him, it was far better for Liesel to sit with her thoughts for a while. He guessed that her sudden change in emotions was because of Matthew. That said, based on their current relationship, they probably weren't close enough for Liesel to share everything with Elijah completely. …Since there was a meeting scheduled at Ford Corporation, Jacob returned to the company. Once the meeting was over, he learned that Elijah had dropped by for a visit.Jacob had no clue about Elijah's purpose for

The Ford family's current manor was located in an extremely busy area, but that wasn't their initial family home.After being persecuted in their earlier years, the Fords' property was sold off, eventually ending up in the hands of the Hardin family.The Ford family's original property was in Ashthorne's most thriving area. It resembled a grand castle and had been considered a protected site in Draskia for a long time. Even without considering the value of the Fords' initial family home, the land alone was worth more than ten billion. Elijah must have been mad to casually use the Fords' initial family home as a bet.Jacob asked in a low voice, "Elijah, are you being serious right now?"Elijah's gaze was icy as he replied, "I wouldn't joke about something like that. If Hardin Group wins, you must hand me evidence of Matthew's crimes. If you're the winner, I'll transfer the Fords' initial family home to you."Jacob's gaze darkened. "Sure. It's a deal."Elijah looked downward as

"Of course! Liesel guided me on my thesis and graduation project. She's like a mentor to me," Ophelia said, clearly holding Liesel in high regard.After that, she started waving her arm at Liesel. "My dear sister-in-law! Come over here!"She kept calling Liesel her sister-in-law without caring for Elijah standing next to her.At the sound of Ophelia's voice, Liesel instinctively grabbed Elijah's hand.Elijah hesitated for a moment, then a smile spread across his face. He took her hand and locked their fingers together.Leaning in, he whispered, "Lili, are you feeling sorry for me?"Without a word, Liesel stepped on his foot.Elijah chuckled in resignation. "Ouch, that hurt. Fine, I deserved it."He knew he'd misspoke, so he decided not to push her buttons further. Instead, she squeezed her hand and moved toward Matthew and Ophelia.The night air wasn't cold. To make matters worse, the approaching summer heat made the air feel somewhat stuffy.Elijah could feel Liesel's body t

Elijah seemed to deliberately speak these harsh words to Ophelia, perhaps to prevent her from continuing to bring Jacob up in front of Liesel.The Hardin family wasn't exactly a model of virtue, but the Ford family wasn't innocent either.What Elijah said wasn't just for Ophelia's ears. It was also meant for Vincent and Jacob.He would make sure the Hardin family stayed away from Liesel. Of course, the Fords would need to have some self-awareness as well.Ophelia, who was usually eloquent, fell silent after Elijah's words.Smiling, Matthew stepped out of the car and moved to Ophelia's side. "Ophelia's a bit childish at times," he said, attempting to smooth things over. "She didn't mean any harm. Please don't take it badly, Mr. Hardin."The Fords all had striking looks, and Matthew was no exception.Though nearing 50, he had great skin and physique, with a gentler demeanor than Jacob. No one would guess that such a man could have done the things he did.When Elijah looked at Mat

Vincent continued, "When the news of Heather's research on holography leaked, the Mallone family had already fallen from grace, and Jeffrey couldn't protect her anymore."She came to see me, handing over all the precious materials, the research institute she secretly founded, and all her years of savings. She asked me to look after them for you and make sure no one takes them away."Now, countries around the world are researching holography. There are companies in our country working on it as well. Giving this to you now should keep you out of trouble."Heather had always been clever. The only mistake she made in life was choosing Jeffrey, that ignorant and evil man. Despite this, she still tried to ensure a good future for Liesel.The materials and the large sum of money were left in Vincent's hands.With them, Liesel could either continue Heather's research or sell the materials and live comfortably for the rest of her life.Liesel's hands trembled as she took the heavy, pricel

Liesel's gaze remained fixed on the heavy stack of documents.Through them, it felt as if she were looking directly into Heather's gentle eyes across time and space.She was confused, and that overwhelming sense of discomfort surged within her again.Heather had laid out all her paths. When she was just a child, she entrusted Xavier to Liesel's care. She had been little more than a ten-year-old then.To protect Xavier, Liesel had humiliated herself by begging Jeffrey on her knees. She pleaded with the man she had always despised to ensure Xavier could live peacefully.Xavier could grow up carefree, but what about her?Liesel had lived in the shadows, with no one to care for her or love her. She had to carve out her own path with nothing but sheer courage.She had clung to the faint, lingering affection Heather had left behind, so she had long decided to avenge Heather and continue researching holography.But… did Heather truly care for her? Did she really love her?If she did,

"Get the documents back. We can't let Elijah and Liesel keep them, no matter what," Matthew growled.Panting, he continued in a lowered voice, "And send people to find Howard immediately. I don't care what it takes. You must find him. Even if you have to abduct him, I want him in front of me.""Understood, Mr. Ford," came the reply on the other end of the line.As Matthew hung up the phone, his eyes were bloodshot with frustration.He was so close to obtaining Heather's research materials. With them, his project would make significant progress. He was certain of it.Meanwhile, Elijah's car pulled up outside Liesel's apartment. As they got out of the car, Liesel handed the stack of documents over to him."Make a backup, then take it to the research institute," she instructed.Along the way, she had already told Elijah about everything Vincent had said."Don't worry. I'll take care of it." Smiling, Elijah reached out to ruffle her hair.Liesel froze for a moment. Suddenly, she f

Jeffrey glared at Liesel. For a moment, he didn't know what to say to appease her.He knew how ludicrous Liesel could be. He'd have to drop money just to talk things out with her!But he didn't have money to pay off his daughter now!Caleb just arched an eyebrow. He'd always followed the news closely, so of course he knew how popular Liesel was. He'd also seen many pictures of her before. Yet, he was still stunned by her beautiful face seeing her standing right in front of him."You're finally here. I thought I wouldn't get to see you, dear sister," he teased with a smile. He purposely called Liesel his sister to piss off Jeffrey, reminding him that he and Liesel were also "blood relatives."Liesel didn't hide how gleeful she was to watch some drama unfold. She was in full support of giving Jeffrey a hard time. "What are you saying, dear brother? Of course, I will do as I promised you and Ms. Lambert. "I had arrived a while ago, but while standing outside the door, I wanted to h

"Mr. Sharp, I also don't want to see Sharp Group die in your hands. You should understand where I'm coming from."Jeffrey roared angrily, "The name of this company is Sharp Group! It's Sharp Group, not Lambert Group or Schwarz Group!"Caleb tilted his head slightly while smiling darkly. "Didn't this company used to be named after the Mallones? In the end, wasn't it changed to Sharp at the last minute? It wouldn't hurt to change it to another last name now."Jeffrey stumbled to his feet while gritting his teeth. He felt like Caleb had come here just to target him. It was like he was born to be his worst enemy!No, Jeffrey couldn't allow himself to be defeated by Paul or Caleb.With the shares he held and the support of some board members, he would still be able to secure the prized CEO position. No one could chase him away!Jeffrey felt his blood pressure rise with anger. His face paled, but he kept staring fixedly at Quinn. Like a maniac, he chuckled darkly. "I'm afraid you must

The board members had differing thoughts. The way they looked at Jeffrey had changed.In the past, they would have refused to believe that a woman could have such a great influence on a business.However, the catalyst for Sharp Group's downfall recently was no one else but Liesel. Therefore, they had no choice but to think twice and raise their guards.Caleb surveyed everyone's expressions. Then, he continued to attack Jeffrey with his words. "Moreover, many huge brands have already launched live streaming on short-form content platforms, where they engage in-house streamers to sell their clothing. During special events, they even invite celebrities to hype up the live stream.""What a joke! Selling clothes on live streams? Do you really think our brand is cheap and marketed to country bumpkins? We want to establish ourselves as mid-to-high-end! We cannot sell at a cheap price. Those people watching the live streams would have to be able to afford it!"Jeffrey was the first one to

Caleb despised Jeffrey so deeply that he wanted to hurt him with every word. He would only feel better if he could rub salt into Jeffrey's wounds until Jeffrey wished he was dead.Jeffrey pointed at Caleb while yelling angrily, "You're spewing nonsense! Why don't you show some real capabilities?"One of the board members, Paul Schwarz, tried to mediate. He chuckled and said, "Why don't we invite the board members who would like to run for leader to share their plans for Sharp Group for the next few years?"Jeffrey snorted haughtily. He proposed a very safe and conventional plan. Not only did it involve continuing to manufacture medium-quality fabrics and collaborating with other fashion companies, but he also had intentions to establish a mid-to-high-end clothing brand called "Vividity Clothing."He was very confident in the brand he created. He also proposed engaging top celebrities to become the spokesperson of the brand, as well as collaborating with celebrities to introduce a t

"Is an old man who doesn't even know basic manners worthy of becoming the head of Sharp Group? It's no wonder Sharp Group is lacking ambition, stagnant, and on the brink of bankruptcy."Caleb had been raised by Quinn, so Jeffrey's words from before had angered him. Even though he didn't let the emotion show on his face, every statement he made was a barbed spear aimed straight for Jeffrey's chest.The board members in the meeting room said nothing, but they had all come to their own decision.Actually, although Jeffrey had privately bribed them with gifts and money, those were just personal transactions. There wasn't any evidence left behind, much less a binding contract that mandated them to vote for him at the board meeting.Not only that, but Caleb didn't say anything wrong.Jeffrey was indeed old. It was because of his old age that he'd done all those careless things.After Heather died, Sharp Group had tanked to rock bottom. They were unable to regain their former glory. Jef
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 387
Jeffrey totally had no idea how Quinn had been able to rise from the ashes and establish Lambert Corporation, going after Sharp Group like a rabid dog.Not for the first time, vile thoughts filled his head. He should not have shown her any mercy back then; he should have just killed her too after getting the Lambert family assets. At least he'd have saved himself all the trouble now!Tugging on his tie, he chuckled coldly. "Quinn, why have you brought your unwanted son to the Sharp Group board meeting? Your vision must be deteriorating with age if you cannot distinguish between Sharp Group and Lambert Corporation anymore."Caleb was unfazed. He merely laughed quietly before replying in an indifferent tone, "My mother and I have always paid special attention to the Sharp family affairs. Seeing how you've raised Ms. Natalie, my mother and I couldn't help but keep our distance. "I am very grateful to you for showing us mercy and letting both my mother and me live. Because of that, m

Where there was drama, there was Jordan.Liesel naturally didn't say anything. She considered hitching a ride in Neal's car when she suddenly thought of a very real problem.Ever the law-abiding citizen, she said seriously, "Neal, you weren't in Draskia the past few years. I bet you only have a driver's license from Matristan, so even if you buy a car here, you can't drive it. If you get caught, you'd be sent to prison. You can only drive once you get the local driver's license."She remembered clearly that the past few times Neal visited her, he had a driver to drive him around.Neal's head began to throb.Liesel fiddled with her keys, allowing Neal to push her wheelchair.Despite her frail wheelchair-bound frame, she could still talk Neal's ear off. Because of his sudden return, she was able to ignore the headache and discomfort she was feeling. Aside from some fatigue, she was able to endure the other aches.Setting aside the pain, Liesel didn't forget to tease Neal. "It's so
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 385
Liesel only ever showed this kind of vulnerability in front of Neal. Neal raised his gaze while watching her quietly. The warmth from her grip on his wrist seemed to seep into his very core and spread all through his body. He looked down before letting out a familiar chuckle. The dangerous, untamed aura he carried was now completely subdued.He ruffled her hair and said, "You didn't fix yourself up even after you came back. Look at your hair. It's a mess." As he spoke, he began tidying her slightly disheveled hair.Liesel smiled softly.Neal ruffled her hair again. It was a wordless reassurance."Back to the topic. Tell me what kind of mischief you want me to help you with." He was still 'fixing' Liesel's hair.Liesel explained, "Neal, since you already know everything, you must realize Sharp Group is on the verge of collapse. I plan to attend today's board meeting and personally see to it that Jeffrey is removed from the upper management. "And right in front of him, I'm g
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 384
Neal pinched Liesel's ear as he chided with a hint of jealousy in his tone, "Calling someone else your brother right in front of me? How bold of you." Neal wasn't exerting any force. He just couldn't bear to hear her calling someone else her brother.Liesel crossed her arms and teased, "Well, blame Jeffrey. He sowed seeds everywhere, so now I have plenty of brothers and sisters." Caleb couldn't hold back his laughter. "He may have spread his seeds far and wide, but not everyone qualifies to be my sister." Liesel smirked. "Of course. Only someone like me is worthy." Given her status, it was obvious that Caleb was the one benefitting from this connection. After ending the call, Liesel began to consider her next move. She wasn't going to show mercy to Jeffrey. "Neal, do you want to join me in some mischief?" she asked. Neal perked up and humored her. "That depends. What kind of mischief are we talking about?" Liesel hesitated for a moment. She worried that Neal might thin
