Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 222
That way, Xavier could go very far in life even without Liesel's help in the future. Such a talented young man like him was destined to soar high in the sky. After returning to her room, Liesel finally couldn't hold back the nausea rising within her. She dashed to the bathroom and dry-heaved for a long time. Since she didn't eat anything for the day, there was nothing to throw up. Liesel placed her hands on the edge of the sink. She looked at her reflection in the mirror and realized that tears were streaming from her bloodshot eyes.One drop. Two drops. Three drops. She turned on the tap and began to rinse her face, making it seem as if she hadn't been crying earlier. At that moment, she was lying to herself by refusing to accept the truth. How ironic. Many people praised Liesel for being emotionally strong, but no one knew she hid in the room and secretly cried at night.Liesel really wanted to suppress her emotions from surging, but she couldn't hold herself back. She coul

Liesel was really skinny and light. Elijah found her very soft and sweet while holding her in his arms.However, she was rather miserable at that moment. He could vaguely pick up on her bitter and cold demeanor."Miss, are you really unable to take one step to me? If so, I'll have to take one thousand steps to you."He had a mischievous glint in his eyes. Even his chest trembled as he laughed.Elijah's hug was full of warmth. Before dropping by, he probably cleaned himself up well since the smell of the disinfectant was really faint. Instead, Liesel picked up on the scent of fresh soap and cologne. He rested his chin on her shoulder, nuzzling against her like a cat. His fine black hair brushed against her smooth neck, tickling her slightly. "Why aren't you saying a word?" Elijah released Liesel with a twinkle in his gaze. He only had eyes for her. Liesel's fingertips still trembled slightly. "Elijah, are you playing tricks on me again?" Even her voice was shaky. Elijah paus

"I can't, so you can't either." Liesel was still pregnant with Jacob's child, and Elijah hadn't recovered from his injuries yet. How could they continue?The desire in Elijah's eyes began to fade away. Although he seemed to have calmed down, his tone was slightly teasing."I was too impulsive. Don't mind me." He was clearly the one bleeding, yet he had apologized.Liesel looked down. A faint warmth began growing in her chest, making her feel rather uncomfortable. "Sit down. I'll go and get the first-aid kit."Elijah obediently sat on the couch. He seemed to know that any word from him would irritate Liesel. However, he gazed at the bleeding wound on his chest, feeling somewhat irritated. If it weren't for the wound, tonight…That wasn't true. He might even be the one to stop before they could even go all the way. He clicked his tongue."How did you escape from Cloudspire? Didn't I already arrange with Dr. Johansen to have someone watch over you? How could he let you escape?"E

The room was completely silent. There was no other sound aside from Elijah and Liesel's gentle breathing.Elijah gently carried Liesel to bed before covering her with a thin blanket. He then wrapped an ice bag in gauze before placing it on her reddened eyes. He sat by her bedside for ten minutes. His gaze stayed fixed on her pale face. Liesel appeared to be sleeping restlessly. She hugged a large pillow tightly, proving that she felt insecure.Elijah leaned forward before pushing the hair covering Liesel's forehead to the back of her ears. He kissed her gently on the forehead. "Good night. Sweet dreams." After that, he left the room.Xavier's room was on the second floor, at the corner of the stairs. He had chosen the room on his own. When Elijah knocked on the door, Xavier hadn't gone to bed yet. In fact, it was more like he wasn't even sleepy. His gaze was icy when he opened the door to see Elijah."How can I help you?"Elijah had a faint smile. "You're 15, and that means

"Do you think Jeffrey's really a kind-hearted man? Did you think he would agree to raise you out of the kindness of his heart?"Did you think that young Liesel would keep you at the Sharp residence? You might become a thorn in Jeffrey's side and be slowly tortured to death. She was just looking for a better way out for you. "She didn't want something to happen to you at the Sharp residence, so she kicked you out without hesitation. That way, you can live a normal life. Everything she did was for you. Do you think she was wrong?"Was Liesel wrong? A ten-year-old girl like her had been living in a precarious situation as well, but she was desperate to find a way for Xavier to live a stable life. How did she convince Jeffrey to let Xavier off? How did she beg him?How could a ten-year-old Liesel consider everything so well? How did she trick the hypocritical and vile Jeffrey? How did she know that he would want to ruin Xavier completely?Xavier's eyes glazed over, and his eyebrows

The sun was already up by the time Liesel woke up the next day. She couldn't exactly remember what had happened last night. She was confused. She only calmed down after taking a shower. Whatever that happened last night seemed to replay in her mind like a movie. Heather's dress that had been auctioned off, Xavier being forced to take exams for other students, as well as him being locked up at the villa basement by Zack and Scott. Liesel gently pinched her temples. At that moment, she received a phone call from Jordan."Lili, I've already swapped out Ms. Mallone's dress. The authentic piece is with us at Bromwich, while the one Natalie won at the auction was a fake."That was good news. "When did you guys swap it?" Liesel felt a headache approaching. "Bromwich is our business. Secretly swapping auctioned items goes against the rules of our industry.""Lili, you need to learn how to adapt. I only mentioned that we swapped it, but I didn't say that we did it at Bromwich."Sinc

Liesel stood at the doorway, knocking on the slightly open door."Liesel, you've arrived." Natalie stood up before continuing regretfully, "I intentionally brought the dress Ms. Mallone had designed so I could return it to you. "I have no idea why her dress appeared at Bromwich's auction either. Luckily, Mr. Ford bought the dress and gave it to me. "I can return the item to its rightful owner as well. Now, you don't have to worry about some scoundrel snatching away Ms. Mallone's dress."Natalie had changed the subject while beaming at Liesel. There was no sign of her instigating anything earlier. She handed the dress in a bag to Liesel."Were you worried or just enjoying my misfortune?" Liesel asked straightforwardly while setting the chicken soup on the bedside table. "What do you think?" Natalie smiled tolerantly. Despite her gentle smile, it was clearly laced with hostility.Natalie planned to achieve many things by dropping by today. She wanted Xavier to be the reason Eli

How did all of this happen? Didn't Natalie drop by Cloudspire to mock Liesel? How did Natalie end up being made fun of?Natalie was unable to think straight and didn't even know how to start retaliating. Her mind was in a mess. She even began blaming herself for not thinking ahead before approaching Liesel. Natalie believed that she must have been mad. Seeing how annoyed Natalie was made Elijah chuckle in delight. "Ms. Natalie, you are right. Life is indeed unpredictable. But were you aware that the news of Dash's fraudulent contract will be released today, Ms. Natalie? I'm not certain if your father made any investment. If your father did sign Dash's contract…"Elijah did not continue. He let out a chuckle that was clearly filled with mockery. At that moment, Natalie didn't know how to react. Disappointed, embarrassed, angry, reluctant…Natalie would always be bothered by these emotions whenever she saw Liesel. Natalie tried to smile, but she found it impossible to do so. H

"I'm willing since it's you." Liesel leaned forward, drawing her lips close to his ear. Her warm breath lingered seductively. It was almost as if she were about to lean into his embrace."Do you really like me controlling you?" Liesel asked Elijah, who hummed in response. "Do you really like being possessed? You've loved freedom for your whole life, but could you give it up for a specific person at certain moments?" Liesel asked. Elijah gazed at her. His expression was unchanged. "Yes, if it's for you."Liesel brushed her lips against his ear before asking in a low voice, "Did you pursue me back then because I didn't like you, and you enjoyed the feeling of not getting what you wanted?"Elijah paused after hearing her question. He scratched his nose and felt slightly guilty. He already had an idea of what Liesel was about to ask. Elijah had clearly gone quiet. Liesel also had an idea why he remained silent. She couldn't help but click her tongue."You lied to me that your b

Liesel's gaze was calm as she stared at Jacob, who was a few feet away. After a mere glance, she turned to leave. "Liesel," Jacob called out her name. "I had nothing to do with what happened today." Jacob had waited there so he could tell her that."What do you want me to say?" Liesel wasn't interested in saying anything at all. She merely found what he said ridiculous after hearing him out."You said you had nothing to do with what happened today. Which part had nothing to do with you?"Liesel's gaze remained nonchalant. "You said you care about me. You mentioned that you want a fresh start with me. "You said you want to marry me again and make me Mrs. Ford once more. Let me ask you. Do you know what it means when Natalie and Matthew are still around?"You're indulging Natalie by letting her hurt me without any restraint. You'll be permitting Matthew to do anything he wants and commit all sorts of crimes. "While Matthew has learned his lesson, he might still dream of takin

If Xavier really made any mistakes, Liesel would definitely back him up since she was powerful and reliable. He was very confident about that at the moment.In the past, Xavier came off as steady since he had matured early, but he was slightly immature now. It was as if he could afford to be stubborn and childish since he had Liesel as his older sister. Liesel mentioned that she could support Xavier since she was wealthy and powerful. What else did Xavier have to worry about? She was his elder sister.Liesel gazed at Xavier and spoke earnestly. "Xavier, I won't force you to make a decision, but have you truly made up your mind to major in performing arts?"No need to get nervous and change your decision because of me. I just want to know what path you want to take for your future.""I'll choose a performance major, but not immediately." Xavier continued to explain, "I'll go for a physics major first and produce some results. Then, I'll choose what I like later."Howard chuckled.
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 475
Liesel couldn't help but advise Howard. "Mr. Durham, you said Xavier should decide his own future. You've gone too far.""Have I gone too far? Not only did you not discipline him, but you're lecturing me now?" Howard pointed at himself. "I can do much worse! Xavier, you listen to me. If you dare choose to enroll in a performance major, I'll break your legs! I'll break both of them!" Howard was being completely unreasonable. Liesel massaged her temples while thinking about how things were in disarray. Although she never expected Xavier to choose a performance major, it wasn't as if he wasn't allowed to. She retorted. "Didn't you just say that I can support him since I'm his older sister? That's why he won't have a hard time making a decision since I'll be his financial backer."Howard wasn't pleased. "But he has a super high IQ.""But I'm rich.""But he has a super high IQ." Howard refused to let go of the fact that Xavier was intelligent.Most importantly, Xavier was Heather

Howard had considered everything. Heather and Jason's children definitely had the best genes. Liesel and Xavier had the power to change everything, so why did they insist on learning finance just to earn money?"Like you said, you chose finance because you had no other choice, nor the money. You didn't want to be controlled, so you took that path. "But what about Xavier? Since he has you as his sister, would he even be short of money? You'll always donate money to the laboratory if he lacks any research materials, right?"Since you'll be supporting him, that kid can decide on his own future." Howard saw through it all, and he was also worried that a promising talent like Xavier would be ruined. Liesel glanced at Xavier and paused before asking, "What do you think?"Xavier was startled. He never considered all that. In the past, his biggest dream was to escape the Scotts. Even after getting away from the Scott family, Xavier faced many issues as well and didn't have the time to

Jeffrey only officially acknowledged two daughters—Liesel and Natalie. The upper class already picked Liesel's identity apart a long time ago. Yet she was calmly informing the onlookers that she had a younger brother. Since when did she have a little brother?However, no one asked on the spot. Despite feeling suspicious of Liesel and Xavier's identities, the crowd still smiled hypocritically. Liesel must have brought up Xavier at that moment to show her support for him.Zack and Sky rushed to the party, intending to make a fuss by ruining Liesel and Xavier's reputation. Yet she acknowledged her relationship with Xavier by letting everyone know that they were siblings. Liesel had a younger brother, and his name was Xavier.Xavier stood under the light, which cast a glow on his side profile and made him seem very tall. He most likely experienced a growth spurt when he was younger, so he had a tall and frail figure. Xavier was quite handsome. Despite his gentle demeanor, he cam

Exactly. Why did the Fords have to target Liesel?Howard was never a good person. If he were the king during the olden days, he would definitely favor ministers who flattered him instead of the decent ones. He would be driven by self-interest and only appoint those who were close to him as ministers.There was nothing Howard didn't know. Besides, Howard was on good terms with Heather and wasn't close with anyone from the crowd. They weren't even worthy when compared to Liesel. Liesel was Heather's daughter, and Liesel could even be Howard's future business partner. If Howard didn't take Liesel's side, who else would he side with?Edward's gaze remained calm. "Mr. Durham, you've spoken so bluntly. Don't you know what kind of rumors might spread among the upper class? They might end up hurting her badly.""Hurt her badly?" Howard chuckled. "I'm watching over her on behalf of my old friend, Heather. If any of these rumors start flying, I'll let those people have a taste of what it's
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 471
Despite being insulted, Howard's expression remained unchanged. "Look at how pitiful Zack and Sky are. They're covered in injuries all over. "Why didn't you take them to the hospital for treatment? Instead, they're dressed in luxury clothes that don't belong to them so they can attend the dinner party."Howard cocked his head before adjusting his glasses. His gaze remained sharp. "Can't you tell that your father and brother are trying to ruin Liesel and Xavier's reputations?"If you did, you're being malicious by acting innocent and standing up for your father and brother. If you can't tell what's going on, then you're really stupid. Ms. Ford. May I know which one you are?" Howard did not show mercy to Ophelia.A few people at the dinner party could no longer take it. They began massaging their temples while muttering under their breaths. "No one kicked you out yet, so why are you speaking up for them? Why are you triggering him? Serve you right for being humiliated." Others b

Edward said with a warm expression, "Aren't you being too authoritarian, Mr. Durham? Perhaps they had only come to the banquet because they had no other choice. Why don't you hear them out? I don't think you're a stone-cold person.""Oh, you Fords were the ones who brought them here."From just Edward's words, Howard had reached a conclusion.Edward was speechless. Even though Howard had said that, how was he so certain?The smile on Edward's face froze momentarily. "Mr. Durham, my father just thought that they were very pitiful, so he wanted to help them out.""Matthew is already in a wheelchair. No matter how you look at it, he's more pitiful than they are. He should help himself first," Howard said with a sneer. He was mocking them without mercy.The calm expression on Matthew's face turned rigid. "Do you know that this banquet is for the upper class as well as researchers?" Howard directed his aloof gaze toward Edward. "Which category do you think these two fall under? Do t
