Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 192
Liesel was willing to play along. If Elijah wanted to teeter on the edge of madness, she'd match him step for step.And as for Henry? Since he dared to take a job from Matthew, he deserved to suffer the consequences.That was why Liesel ultimately swapped out the original research materials for a forgery. Elijah wanted a show, and she'd deliver. Both of them were calculating, aware of each other's games but leaving the truth unspoken. Together, they redirected all the blame onto Matthew and Henry.If Matthew hadn't been so greedy, Elijah wouldn't have needed to pull off an elaborate ploy in the first place.Jacob's gaze darkened, his voice sharpening. "Liesel, Elijah is lying to you. You're not going to beat him at this game." Liesel raised an eyebrow. "What I see is a man who won't hurt me. As for who outplays who, I guess we'll find out." Her fingers casually toyed with a strand of hair at her shoulder. "And how do you know this isn't just... our idea of fun?"Plus, Elijah

"My one true love, the only one I've ever publicly acknowledged, is Elijah." Liesel's calm voice carried the weight of a dagger as she delivered the words to Jacob. It was true. Only the Ford family and a handful of people in their social circle knew about Liesel and Jacob's marriage. Even their wedding had been low-key, with only a few tables at the reception. Their wedding photos were taken hastily, with Jacob in one of his everyday suits. No one cared about their relationship. Jacob certainly hadn't, and since he didn't, no one else would.For three years, she was never "Mrs. Ford". To the world, she was simply Jacob's secretary. Jacob stared at her, his gaze searching for something in her expression. After a moment, his lips pressed into a thin line. "I'm sorry. That was my fault." "It was indeed your fault," Liesel replied, taking a step back. "I thought after everything that happened, you wouldn't come looking for me again." Liesel sharpened her tone as she add

Elijah dropped his act completely. His words were a blatant signal to Liesel that he had people keeping tabs on her. He wouldn't have asked if he hadn't known exactly when Jacob left. "You didn't hear from the little birds you planted around me?"Liesel didn't bother pretending anymore. Elijah chuckled, but his laughter faltered, pain evident on his face as he winced."I just want to hear you say that you've chosen me."Liesel lifted her gaze, looking out into the vast darkness of the night. The stars seem to flicker like distant glimmers of light."Yeah, I've chosen you. I've chosen you, Elijah." Elijah's laughter grew. But in the background, Liesel could hear Ethan urgently calling for medical help, shouting things like, "He's bleeding! Get the doctor!"His laughter stopped abruptly. "Lili, it hurts so much." How could it not hurt? The car had been destroyed, the gash on his forehead was huge, and he was bleeding from his chest. Anyone would be in agony from that.Liese

Elijah's actions to protect Liesel left his assistant, Ethan, still in shock. Ethan couldn't help but think that Elijah was going too far. After all, Liesel was not as innocent as she looked. "Mr. Hardin, maybe you should take a look at what Ms. Sharp did tonight," Ethan finally said, wanting Elijah to know what Liesel had done at the race track.Elijah hadn't seen the footage yet, but now he was intrigued. He wanted to know what Liesel had been up to.Ethan sent him the video, and Elijah opened it. Liesel's long hair flowed in the wind, and her barely visible side profile was still strikingly beautiful."She's pretty, isn't she?"Ethan didn't answer, but inwardly thought, "She's gorgeous, but she's also dangerous as hell."The video showed Liesel coldly manipulating a remote, forcing Henry's car into a wall with brutal precision. When Neal pulled her away, Liesel lifted her head with a smile.The crashes continued—once, twice, 23 times.By the end of the video, Elijah was dis

On the outside, Liesel appeared gentle and graceful, but beneath that facade lay a fierce beast, ready to spring into action at any moment. She was a scheming and malicious person. This was who Liesel really was.Jacob felt a tightness in his throat as he watched the video over and over again. His gaze grew darker with each replay.There was no denying that this version of Liesel, with her intense aggression, was even more captivating. She was like a dark, seductive red rose, blooming wildly in the night.His eyes were fixated on her. Jacob couldn't tear his gaze away even if he wanted to.As the sky began to brighten, Jacob's eyes remained glued to the video. His fingers lightly traced the screen, as though touching the cold, smooth surface might bring him closer to her.If it were before, he could have pulled her into his arms, kissed her, and taken her for himself. But now, Liesel was with Elijah. She was his.Jacob's eyes darkened even further.After a long silence, he spoke

Jordan was the person Jacob valued most, even more than Drew or Liesel. Within Ford Corporation, Jordan held a position comparable to the senior executives, and in some ways, his influence even surpassed theirs. He not only wielded significant power but also held shares in the company.Later, with Liesel and Drew around, Jordan often dealt with external business affairs and seldom went to the company. His temperament was cold, and like Jacob, he cared only for ability and interests. When Liesel first joined the secretary department, Jordan gave her the cold shoulder. It wasn't until she secured a major contract abroad that Jordan truly accepted her. At that point, he officially recommended Liesel to be Jacob's other executive secretary, taking on part of his workload.Over the years, Liesel had proven her worth, but what about Natalie?Jordan eyed her with quiet scrutiny. The intensity of his gaze made Natalie feel uncomfortable, and she instinctively took a step back. "So i

If the operation was mishandled, Ford Corporation's liquidity would have been frozen due to the poor investment.When Natalie heard this, she felt as though the sky was falling. The news was about to break, and when the scam was exposed, it wouldn't be Liesel who was ridiculed, but Natalie.In a situation like this, the only thing she could do was plead with Jacob for another chance to return to Ford Corporation. At least, she could regain her position as a secretary and make others believe it was all just a misunderstanding.She could say that Ford Corporation had never actually planned to sign a contract with Dash, and it was only a tactic to lure the rival company into a trap. It was pure business competition."Jake, please help me. I made a mistake," she begged. "Solstice Inc. is about to reveal the truth—that the contract was a scam. If Ford Corporation won't take me back, no other company will hire me.""Jake, you have to help me…" Natalie sobbed, her tears flowing freely, but

"You forced Liesel out, but do you even have the ability to take her place? Now that you're here instead of her, do you think that the Iron Triangle will remain stable?" Jordan's words were filled with mockery.Natalie's face flushed with embarrassment. "I didn't intend to ruin your relationship. Liesel is still with Ford Corporation. She's just been promoted to a manager in the project department!"Jordan retorted, "Are you really that stupid, or are you just pretending? As Mr. Ford's executive secretary and assistant, her position is almost on par with the department heads, if not higher."Liesel being reassigned to the project department is just a demotion disguised as a promotion. Liesel can handle complex contracts and manage foreign partnerships. Do you have half the ability to do that, Ms. Sharp?"How many languages do you speak? Do you even know how to negotiate?"Each word was a sharp jab, leaving Natalie with no room to think, let alone respond. Her mind went blank, and

Toby froze. His legs nearly gave out when he heard who it was on the phone."Had enough pictures?" It was Liesel.Toby's heart pounded so hard he could hear it in his ears. The rush of adrenaline left him lightheaded. "Ms. Sharp… you knew?""I know Jacob sent you. Go ahead and upload tonight's photos and videos online. Don't worry about me."Toby was speechless."Are you sure about this, Ms. Sharp?" He was asking if Liesel was truly choosing Elijah."Did I stutter?"Toby let out an awkward chuckle, and Liesel hung up without another word."What the hell just happened? Who called you and scared you so bad?""Don't tell me you got served court papers or something.""You're being too quiet. What's going on? What shook you so badly?"The group crowded around Toby. He swallowed hard and recounted what Liesel had said. The room fell silent. After what felt like an eternity, someone murmured, "Was that Liesel's way of confessing to Elijah?"It was. She unapologetically used that f

"Would they love me like you do? Or would they just drain me of everything I'm worth?" Liesel was genuinely curious. "If you love me, then stay with me forever. Don't ever give anyone the chance to hurt me again."If you care so much about your legs, I'll contact the best medical team. I'll build a research institute if I have to. I can do so much for you, just like Heather did for Jason. So, please, stop saying we're not a good match. We're the perfect match."Liesel stood up and braced her hand against the nearby furniture. At this moment, she seemed taller and more commanding."Look into my eyes, Elijah. Tell me. What do you see?"Elijah froze. His gaze locked onto hers. In those usually calm eyes, he saw an overwhelming depth of emotion that made his throat tighten."I think you can tell the difference between love and indifference. So, what's your answer?"Before he could respond, Liesel pressed on, "Never mind. Even if you want to hide, I won't let you retreat any further."

"You could at least do something to earn my respect," Liesel said. "You've injured your legs, and you acted like it's the end of the world. It's not like you've lost your manhood. And even if you did, we can always have a platonic relationship. Anything works when the person is right."Do you hear me, Elijah? Love between a man and a woman does involve physical attraction and intimacy, but that's not all of it. True love comes from the resonance between two souls, from the empathy and connection they share."Even as she spoke, her words circled back to the real issue. She was still angry at Elijah for giving up on himself.Elijah's voice was hoarse as he responded, "I just can't bear it, Lili. You're so wonderful. Have you ever seen the kind of twilight where the entire sky is bathed in warm orange hues, and stars begin to twinkle faintly at the horizon?"That kind of twilight feels like it bridges heaven and earth. I've been to many places in my life, but that twilight was the onl

"Elijah, do you know how upset I was?" Liesel asked.Elijah's injuries were severe. His entire body was battered. Even his strikingly handsome face bore scars. His right arm was broken, and his chest, back, and legs were covered in countless wounds.Anyone else would have clung to Liesel like a lifeline, terrified that she would abandon them. But Elijah just wanted to push her away."What can I say, Lili?" Elijah's tone carried a hint of helplessness. "It feels like whatever I say now will just be wrong. Do you want to judge me? You're welcome to do so.""I just don't understand." Liesel held his hand. Her grip was gentle as if afraid of causing him more pain. "What do you take me for? What do you take yourself for?"This world has so many people suffering because they lack money or power. But we have both. You're incredibly hot, and you're standing at the pinnacle of society. So what if your legs are injured? There are countless people worse off than you. Why let this drag you do

Reuben handed Liesel a red-covered envelope, but his expression was strange as he did so. Was there something hidden in the letter?Liesel opened it, and her eyes twitched as she read the few words written inside. "What is this?"The writing looked like a tangled mess of worms twisted together into a few sentences. It wasn't just ugly—it was excessively so.Reuben fell silent for a moment. "It's not that hard to read."Liesel handed the letter back to him. Her gesture clearly said, "If it's so easy, you read it."Reuben's face remained as calm as ever. "Liesel..." He simply said her name before stopping."It's not important. What matters is that the only person who can match Howard's intellect and keep up with his progress is you. Since he wants to meet you and the authorities want you to be involved, I hope you can take this collaboration seriously, Ms. Sharp."He said it wasn't important, but actually, he just couldn't read Howard's alien handwriting.Liesel clicked her tongu

Belinda's verbal attacks only made Liesel realize one thing—Belinda wasn't a particularly smart person.Once truly intelligent people understood their opponent's cards, they wouldn't provoke them so recklessly, without considering the family's reputation or the consequences of their actions.It was selfish, cold-hearted, immature, and laughable.Liesel was already pushing Elijah's wheelchair out of the Turner residence's living room when Reuben nodded slightly at Nathan. His commanding gaze swept over Belinda as he murmured, "The younger generation of the Turner family needs to be properly taught manners."With that, Reuben left with the special forces.Glaring at their retreating backs, Belinda ground her teeth, but her expression was one of desolation.She could feel the vast distance between her and Liesel. She was unwilling to accept her defeat. She wouldn't just hand Elijah over to Liesel. One day, she would take Elijah back, no matter what.Liesel remained unaware of Belin

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

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
