Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 182
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

Ethan began to clap. His eyes sparkled with admiration and awe. "This car was only built to test the model's performance. It still needs more optimization later on," Liesel said coolly. She walked toward the mangled vehicle, her heels clicking sharply against the ground. A breeze swept by, causing the hem of her loose dress to flutter. Her lips still held the faint curve of a smile, but it was cold."How does it feel, Henry?" Liesel stared down at the man bleeding from his forehead. She didn't bother kicking him out of revulsion for how dirty she thought he was.Henry huddled on the ground. The fear in his chest had reached its peak.Knowing he wouldn't live much longer due to his terminal illness, he had targeted Elijah. He accepted a hefty payout from Matthew as he thought it would secure his family's future after his death.The sensation of being repeatedly hurled toward death but never quite reaching it was unbearable. His body felt like it was being suspended mid-air and

Liesel stepped into Neal's car without another word. Neal followed closely behind, his gaze lingering on her the entire time. Neal rolled the windows up, and only the two were left in the car. "Lili, that was extreme." Neal started the car as he spoke. Neal didn't need Liesel to say a word. He knew she wanted to visit Elijah at the hospital.Liesel toyed with the strands of hair falling across her forehead. She remembered how Elijah always used to smooth those stray locks whenever they were together. The memory sent a faint shiver through her, her chest tightening at the thought of him lying in a pool of blood.She pressed her hand to her chest, her heartbeat thundering against her palm. "Neal," she said softly. "If it were you or Jordan that these people tried to kill, I would've lost it. They wouldn't simply suffer a few crashes. They'd vanish without a trace—abducted, sold to work camps, or lost at sea, swallowed by the depths of the roaring waves, their bones devoured

Elijah was making Liesel feel guilty on purpose, knowing that guilt would bind her closer to him with an unshakable sense of affection. He chuckled softly, but his amusement was cut short when Liesel cupped his face in her hands and kissed the corner of his mouth. The hospital room's harsh fluorescent light seemed to soften at that moment. They cast a gentle glow over them. His lips were dry and soft. As she leaned in, Liesel caught a whiff of blood mixed with antiseptic. "Liesel, the anesthesia hasn't completely worn off yet." Elijah tried to grab her hand, but he didn't have the strength to do so. With a hint of helplessness in his voice, he continued, "Maybe you should wait until tomorrow to kiss me." "Keep dreaming." Liesel pursed her lips before she suddenly rested her head on his shoulder. Her warm breath brushed against his neck, the closeness more tender than romantic. "Elijah, I was so scared. Even now, I can't stop shaking. Look." Liesel lifted her arm as if

Elijah still had the nerve to play games even in his current state.Neal glanced over at Liesel with a look of mild helplessness, as if silently telling her to control her man.Just then, Elijah's phone buzzed. It was a message from Ethan, informing him that Liesel would be auctioning off Heather's holography research materials in three days.Elijah looked up at Liesel, his tone calm and gentle. "You're going to sell your mother's research materials?"Liesel wasn't surprised Elijah knew about it. She had told Ethan herself, and Ethan, loyal as ever, would naturally pass the information on to Elijah."That research only brings misfortune. Why keep it?" she answered candidly, a smile still lingering at the corners of her lips.It was true that it had only brought misfortune. If it wasn't for the file, Elijah wouldn't have been targeted by Matthew so quickly, causing the accident that landed him in the hospital."That's different. It's a gift Ms. Mallone left for you. You should ke

But since Heather had chosen her lover over her children when she was forced to make that choice, she was doomed to carry that guilt for the rest of her life.She had made her choice, and it was a mistake. Maybe it would be easier if she truly believed she was heartless.Since Liesel and Xavier were her and Jason's children, they had to be exceptional. Only then could they truly live up to their brilliant bloodline.Heather arrived at the research facility and looked at the man lying quietly on the bed, who was slowly recovering. Crouching on the cold floor, she gently held his hand and softly rubbed it."Jay, do you think I've made a mistake?"There was no response.Only the soft whisper of the breeze could be heard. Though it was the height of summer, the air felt unnervingly cold.Heather gazed at Jason, who was still trapped in his deep slumber."Jay, when you wake up, we'll go back to Ashthorne. They may not accept me, but they'll accept you. We can… go home together."Sh
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 429
After Jason's incident, Reuben had once asked Heather for a chance to pursue her. Without a second thought, she rejected him and introduced him to countless rich young women.But Reuben had remained single all this time. He had no lover, no family, and only a few adopted children he had raised.Heather could tell from his gaze that he still harbored some hope.Smiling, she said, "Reuben, if you're so interested in our news, why don't you keep an eye on Liesel? She's my daughter, after all. I'll contact her eventually, won't I?"When it came to people she didn't care for, she was always ruthless.She casually shifted the problem she considered troublesome onto Liesel. Her smile returned, and she looked at Liesel intently, as if waiting for her response."Are you waiting for my reaction?" Liesel asked. "I've always found myself in so many dangerous situations with Elijah. I'm more than happy if more bodyguards sent by the authorities come along. Thank you."There was nothing aroun

The other faction, the conservatives, insisted on waiting for Jason to wake up.However, those researchers were protected by the government. Without Jason, they had no real way to communicate with these researchers.They were close to backing down.That was when Heather hacked into the surveillance system. She knew those lunatics had drawn blood from Jason, and some even went so far as to drink it, all in the name of boosting their intelligence.They were insane."When I took Jay, they'd already drawn a thousand milliliters of blood from him. How cruel can you be? You were just hoping he'd die for the sake of your research. If I hadn't taken Jay, he would've been dead. And now you have the nerve to lecture me, accusing me of committing a crime?""If that's the case, haven't those researchers and everyone who was involved in this all violated the law? Can't I sue them, too?"Heather scoffed. "Don't force me to change my nationality and take this to the international courts. If it

Liesel was not someone who could be defeated easily.She was dangerous and powerful. Even in the pursuit of love, she never truly gave up on her own goals. She might feel pain from betrayal, but the next moment, she would rise again.No one could truly bring her down. She would always love herself.If someone tried to make her a pawn, she would destroy the entire game. She would always be the one in control, manipulating the game, never the one being manipulated.Not by Matthew, and certainly not by Heather.The hall was silent. All eyes were on the confrontation between mother and daughter. Everyone expected Heather, with her vast experience, to completely overpower Liesel. But that wasn't the case. Liesel not only stood firm, but she seemed to be gaining the upper hand.Nathan's gaze darkened as he observed Liesel. A monster had given birth to another monster.Meanwhile, Heather could see a line of high-ranking individuals standing behind Liesel on the screen. They were all th

Heather remained unnervingly calm, as if the life at stake was nothing more than a figurine to her."You're terrifying," Liesel said as she looked at Heather. "Actually, there's no real connection between us. My mom died more than a decade ago. She was driven to cut her wrists due to my dad's actions."She wasn't some strong, dangerous woman who could scare people in the business world. She was a weak, pitiful woman who couldn't protect her children. She was so powerless and incapable that she was driven to her death. My mom is long gone."Liesel spoke slowly. Each word was clear enough for Heather to understand.But Heather didn't grow angry. She simply smiled and spoke in a calm, almost soothing tone, "I gave birth to you, Liesel. Your exceptional genes come from me. That's an irrefutable fact. Whether I'm alive or dead, you will always be Heather Mallone's daughter."Her words wrapped around Liesel like an unbreakable chain. Yes, she would always be Heather's daughter.It was

Heather could do everything and overthrow anything for Jason. Liesel was able to do the same for Elijah. Any man who had their love could obtain everything.Liesel was doing her best to ignore Elijah's legs. She forced herself to not look at his crippled legs. "I'll settle the score with you over a few things once we're home." Liesel glanced at Elijah with a gentle gaze. He sighed helplessly. "I'm already like this."Liesel merely held his fingertips before slowly getting to her feet. Since Elijah was behind her, she stood up as if she wanted to block Elijah from view. "Ms. Mallone, long time no see." Everyone knew that Liesel was drop-dead gorgeous. However, it was Heather's first time officially meeting the adult Liesel via video call. Liesel was far similar to who Heather used to be. Although they had different demeanors, Liesel could be considered an exact copy of Heather. Despite her gentle appearance, Heather gave off a venomous demeanor. But Liesel was different. S

"Liesel has all this because of me." Heather beamed. "So, I was the one who created her. What gave you the right to ask me to remain in the shadows?"You want the creator to step aside for a figurine souvenir? Have you heard of such a thing?" Heather did not refer to herself as Liesel's mother. She referred to their relationship as a creator and her figurine souvenir. She clearly did not love Liesel.Elijah's gaze grew colder. Meanwhile, everyone present was shocked at Heather's words. Before Elijah could respond at all, someone already pushed open the door to the Turner residence's living room. Since the sound was quite loud, everyone turned to look. Instead, they saw Liesel, who truly resembled Heather. After Liesel pushed open the door, two tall, handsome men followed her inside. One man had short black hair, seeming gentle and refined. The other had long silver hair with a rugged appearance. They stood beside her as if they were her bodyguards. Behind the trio were numero

Heather truly lived up to her name. She was always keeping an eye on the Turners in Ashthorne. Otherwise, how would she coincidentally pop up in a video chat as soon as Elijah's fingertips brushed against the keyboard? The Turner family's internet had firewalls, but Heather had easily breached them. That alone was enough for anyone to understand what was so terrifying about her. Nathan stared at the screen with a darkened gaze, meeting Heather's delighted gaze. "Mr. Turner Senior, it's been a long time."Nathan's eyes clouded over. "It indeed has been a long time. Heather, what is the purpose of doing all this?"Heather smirked leisurely. "I thought you'd be happy to see me alive. Are you really unable to guess why? Seems like you've truly aged."Was Nathan unable to guess what she was up to? Of course, he could. As long as Jason was still alive, Heather would continue living. There was only one possibility for Heather to show up now. Jason was about to recover."Mr. Turner S

But Heather did not take Liesel and Xavier with her and left them behind instead. She even left Liesel with a nightmare she set up. Heather implied to Liesel that she was forced to commit suicide and wanted her to raise Xavier. She also wanted Liesel to snatch everything that belonged to the Mallones. Aside from nightmares, what else did Heather even leave for Liesel? That faint motherly love? Did Heather ever truly love Liesel?Heather invested all her love in Jason. She was a qualified lover, but she would never be a certified mother. That was why Liesel guessed Heather could be still alive. But even if that was true, Heather was truly dead to Liesel.At that moment, Elijah even used his darkest side to understand Heather. She might have shown up now because she would be returning to Draskia soon.Heather didn't just lend a hand now because the Turners were powerful. It was possible she wanted to present herself favorably to Liesel. Heather simply wanted Liesel to know tha
