Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 178
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

It had only been an hour since Vincent handed her the research materials, and now Elijah was injured because of them.Who could have done this? Who had such inside information?Liesel bit her lower lip. Suddenly, Matthew's deceitful face flashed through her mind.Matthew Ford! Liesel swore to make him pay for this.Liesel's gaze deepened as she tightly gripped Elijah's cold fingers, as if her touch could somehow bring him a little warmth.The car drove straight to Denzel's Cloudspire Hospital. She had contacted Denzel earlier, so as soon as Elijah's car arrived, someone was there to meet them.She followed closely behind and stood in the corridor outside the emergency room, where the medical staff was rushing in and out.She felt a mix of irritation and exhaustion. Her hands were still stained with Elijah's blood.She looked down at her palm. As she stared at the dried bloodstains, her resentment flared up again."Ms. Sharp."Elijah's assistant, Ethan Baxter, spoke calmly, "T

Matthew was about to lash out in fury when a notification popped up on his phone.Posts about the auction were already trending. "Auction Announced for the Research Materials of Heather Mallone, Pioneer of Holography in Draskia."The post had gone viral on Twitter, sparking a frenzy like a drop of ice-cold water hitting boiling oil. The whole tech world was ablaze.Anyone with half a brain knew that once holography technology became a reality, existing smart systems would be rendered obsolete. Connecting to holography would usher in a new technological revolution.The news spread fast. Not only had it reached the elites of Ashthorne's high society, but even researchers abroad were abuzz. Some publicly declared their intention to win the auction at all costs.Even though the data was from ten years ago, it was incredibly valuable to them and held significant worth."Liesel's lost her damn mind," Matthew growled, barely containing his anger. Who else but a lunatic would put Heather

Liesel's eyes remained cold and impassive as she watched Henry thrash and shout from his spot on the floor. She pulled out her phone and noticed there was still no response from Jordan. Her cold gaze deepened slightly.It didn't matter. She planned to use this worthless man for an experiment.Her eyes flickered to Henry, who was still spewing curses. "I'm not going to force you to talk," she said.Liesel clapped her hands, and a faint laugh escaped her throat. It was the kind of laugh that sent a chill down one's spine."I recently developed a prototype for a new vehicle model. It hasn't undergone any proper testing yet and probably won't be ready for years."She looked at Henry with a cold gaze. "But since you're a driver, why not help me test if the car is roadworthy?"Henry's eyes widened in shock. The curse words he was about to say got stuck in his throat.He stared at Liesel in disbelief, almost thinking he was hearing things.What did she mean by "test if the car is road

"Calm down, Lili." Neal could no longer remain composed. He felt like Liesel had lost her mind.The car seemed to jerk for a moment, as though it had heard Neal's voice. But after a brief pause, it shot forward at an even faster speed.Neal could feel the sweat pouring down his back. Liesel had truly lost it. She had gone mad for Elijah!"Neal, I'm not joking. Trust my control." Liesel pointed to her temple as she continued to manipulate the car at an insane speed.Neal's face darkened, but he said nothing. He simply watched helplessly as the car sped on.Suddenly, a large screen next to the track flickered on, revealing a live feed of Henry inside the car. He was crying and begging for mercy.The camera inside the car showed his frantic state.Liesel had already suspected that Henry agreed to stage the accident either because he was gravely ill or didn't fear death. Still, she had chosen to make him suffer.She wanted him to be engulfed by fear and experience the terror of a c

No, this wasn't enough. Liesel's fingers tightened around the remote as she guided the car back onto the track.Henry was trembling with fear as he shouted desperately, "Let me go! Please, let me go!"Liesel remained indifferent to his pleas."Enough, Lili." Neal gripped her wrist, trying to pull her back from the edge."No, how could it be enough?" Liesel tightened her hold on the remote."He dared to do such a thing, which means he didn't value Elijah's life. If that's the case, why should I care about his? Since he doesn't care about his life, then I'll let him die."Liesel's gaze fixed on Henry's panicked face as she pressed the button again and again. His screams echoed as the car hurtled down the track."Stop, Lili. Just stop." Neal wanted her to stop this madness.But Liesel withdrew her hand from his grip and said flatly, "This is just the beginning. You know me the best. I've always been this way."Yes, Liesel had always been like this. She could be gentle, but only t

"You know how it is. It's always hard to strike a deal between two smart people."Charles laughed.He knew that when Liesel suggested a partnership with Ford Corporation to manufacture anti-cancer drugs, it was actually a huge trap.Liesel and Howard were both researchers. Who could say for sure that after they gave Ford Corporation the drug formula, they wouldn't refine the drug further and make something even more effective?Considering Liesel's and Howard's intelligence, there would undoubtedly be a more potent version of the drug. However, Liesel would never choose to continue working together with Ford Corporation. Therefore, he had decided to ask for a mile. He had asked to collaborate on the artificial intelligence project.It wasn't that he was being greedy.It was because Ford Corporation wasn't the same as it had been a year ago. He had to tread very carefully to avoid falling for someone's scheme again.Without Liesel and Drew, there were many tasks that only he and

"Do you not want to hug?" Liesel cocked her head at him. "Don't think I don't know you. I bet you already wanted to kiss me and hold me the moment you spotted Jacob. Otherwise, you wouldn't have tightened your arms around me."Hadn't Elijah done that to send Jacob a message that Liesel belonged to him?Having been together for so long, there wasn't anything that she didn't understand about him."In that case, thank you for giving me a chance and playing along." Since he couldn't think of an excuse, he just came clean. There was even a look of amusement on his face.He pulled her into his arms affectionately. She also hugged him back, like she was a child staking her territory."Should we add some more spice and kiss?"This was really becoming more and more provocative.Why not?A smile appeared on Elijah's face, as if he was saying to her, "Bring it on."And she did. She peppered Elijah's face with continuous pecks. Then, she yanked on his collar, like she was claiming him as

From a short distance away, Jacob could see Elijah's arm curled around Liesel's tiny waist. She seemed very dependent on him as she lay in his arms listlessly. It was a stark contrast to the way she behaved in public with other people.Whether it was with reporters or business partners, she always seemed like a steady pillar of strength. She was graceful and calm, but there was a hidden sharpness within her.Anyone who interacted with her could feel the hidden threat that was lurking inside of her.Yet, the Liesel now seemed to have shed all the sharp spikes on her body, revealing only the soft insides. She appeared gentle and submissive… Or rather, she only showed this side of her to her lover.He should have been the one to get all of this.He should have been her lover.He was the one who'd thrown all of this away. All he could do was watch as Elijah purposely pissed him off.He was a man too. Of course, he knew that Elijah was doing it on purpose.Of course, he resented Eli

Elijah seized Liesel's wrists while chuckling coldly. "So what if you're someone's wife? If I wanted you, all I'd have to do is tell him. Then, he'd definitely have someone clean you up nicely and send you straight into my bed."He lifted her chin with his finger. "Do you think that your husband is a decent man? Do you think that he'd disobey me for you?"Liesel swallowed. She was enraptured by the look in Elijah's eyes right now.He nibbled on her ear while patting her panicked and pale face. "If you're obedient, I'll treat you well. If you're unwilling to play along and make me happy, I'll kill your husband and lock you up in my home. You'll never see the light of day again."Stripping off her clothes, Liesel bit his earlobe and whispered, "It's such a waste that you didn't go into the acting industry with Chelsea."Elijah chuckled quietly, letting her hands roam all over him. They left a trail of fire in their wake. When he was all riled up and ready to go, Liesel suddenly hugg

Liesel left.Charles gazed at the still-warm cup of tea on the table. There was a chilling look in his eyes.This was one of the times he'd made the wrong move.After walking out of Charles' office, Liesel wasn't surprised to see Jacob. However, she didn't even stop and simply walked out.He trailed after her leisurely until she was nearly out of Ford Corporation. Just as he was about to call out to her, he heard a cheerful, gentle voice calling her name."Lili, I'm here to pick you up." Jacob's eyes darkened. When he looked up, he saw Elijah sitting in a wheelchair and smiling at Liesel.Liesel didn't mind at all that he was a cripple. With a grin on her face, she crouched down next to him. Then, she grabbed his hand and placed it against her cheek.Jacob's chest clenched when he saw that. It felt like arrows piercing his heart.Liesel could still feel Jacob's eyes on her, but she didn't care. She even pecked Elijah lightly on the lips in front of Jacob. Then, while pushing

"Charles, even though we worked together for three years, you still don't understand me at all."Liesel tapped her fingers against the desk. While it was quiet, it also sounded indescribably threatening."Have you not seen what happened to Dash?"If someone tries to snatch something from me, not only will I make their wishes come true, but I'll also make them pay the price."You can only take what I give you. If you insist on snatching what I'm unwilling to give… then you will find out the price you'll have to pay."She grinned, but it carried an obvious iciness.Dash was indeed the best example.He had tried to snatch collaboration opportunities from her, so she squashed him. And that wasn't all. She also bought his land and assets from him for dirt cheap.Dash tried to steal her data and establish his own vehicle manufacturing plant in Draskia, so she simply chased him and all his businesses out of Draskia.Anyone who tried to plot against her and steal from her suffered hor

"If you have something that even Jacob doesn't, you must be very loyal to him.""Thanks for the compliment." Charles chuckled quietly. "Of course, I am loyal to Mr. Ford. It's because I'm loyal to Mr. Ford that I kept the evidence just in case."If Matthew decided to betray Mr. Ford one day, then I could use this to retaliate against him. After all, you also know that Matthew is far from a nice person."Jacob placed a lot of importance on Matthew because his parents had passed away early, so he'd been raised by Matthew and Vincent since he was younger. He ended up viewing Matthew as somewhat of a father figure. His love for his family had ended up blinding him, making him unwilling to bring harm to Matthew.However, Charles was different. He didn't have any significant feelings toward Matthew. He only cared about protecting Jacob's interests.Matthew was a selfish person who only cared about his own interests. This was why Charles had gone against Jacob's orders and kept the evi

If it had been Elijah who'd done this, what would Liesel have done?Could she still be so righteous?However, Jacob's words only made her stifle a laugh. Without even turning around, she said sardonically, "If Elijah was this kind of person, then I would never have gotten together with him."Whether it comes to family or lovers, first of all, they should have the right principles. They should know what they should or shouldn't do."Even a child can tell what's right from wrong, but an adult like Matthew doesn't know where to draw the line. Jacob, one day he will pay the price for everything that he's done."In the end, Jacob didn't stop her from leaving.He couldn't help but clench his fists. His eyes darkened.Liesel had always been strongly opposed to evil. Making things worse, Drew was the scapegoat for Matthew's misdeeds this time.Over the years, Jacob had already gotten Matthew out of trouble countless times. He was getting tired of it.He really wanted to call out to Li

Natalie wanted to destroy Ford Corporation as soon as possible.Once there was a new leader in Ford Corporation, would Jacob still be so arrogant?Natalie laughed coldly. Then, she remembered the words she heard in the hospital, and her expression frosted over.She thought that since she was already in the same boat as Edward, and that Edward might become the future leader of Ford Corporation, she could go for him instead.After all, Edward was tall and handsome. In her eyes, he wasn't inferior to Jacob at all.However, she never thought… that Edward already had a lover, and that it was his sister, Ophelia, of all people.Till today, she still remembered how that bitch, Ophelia, had once insulted her because of her background. To defend Liesel, Ophelia had mocked her for being a bastard child.How come Ophelia deserved to be with Edward? They were siblings! Even if they weren't related by blood, they had still grown up as brother and sister. Weren't they afraid of getting expose
