Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 226
"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

"My father's an idiot as well. He's always imagining that the pie would fall out of the sky. He trusted whatever Natalie said, so he mortgaged all of our houses! Now, we can't get the money back! Natalie, how will you reimburse us?""My god. How could anyone actually trust Natalie? She's not the same secretary who used to handle contracts worth tens of billions for Mr. Ford! Natalie used to study art. What would someone with an art background know about finance?"Exactly. What would someone with art skills know about finance?Natalie was attacked all over the internet. Many small businesses were scammed by Dash, totaling up to almost a billion dollars. All this had already been announced on the legal affairs channel.Natalie wanted to push the blame on Liesel, who already announced earlier that the contract this time was a trap. Only those blinded by the promise of large returns in the future ended up in big trouble. The victims needed someone to vent their frustration on. Since

Jeffrey pressed his hand against his chest repeatedly as he felt like he was going to faint.Earlier, he had sent Liesel a sum of money to prevent her from causing trouble. The Sharp family's cash flow was already tight. All they really had was the real estate and properties Heather had brought with her when she married Jeffrey.In the years since, Sharp Group had been struggling under his management. Sometimes, he had to sell assets just to keep the company afloat.The real estate he had was scarce, to begin with. And now, in hopes of making a big profit, he had sold off two properties at a low price, hoping this investment would take him to the next level. He was even daydreaming about making billions.But just after transferring the money and soon after signing the contract, he found out it was all a scam.Jeffrey's silence sent a loud buzz through Natalie's mind.His silence was the answer. He had really sent the money!"Are you out of your mind? You made that investment in

Natalie scoffed. "We're in the same boat now, and Liesel's not going to help you. The only person who can is me."She has Elijah, and I have Jacob. No matter how much I mess up, as long as Jacob's willing to back me, I'll be untouchable. That's the kind of assurance he gives me."As long as she was convinced she was that person from back then, Jacob wouldn't hesitate to treat her well. She was certain of it.Jeffrey stayed silent.Natalie wasn't wrong.The moment he sided with Natalie, he was already part of her team. How could Liesel ever accept his sudden goodwill?Not to mention that Xavier was Liesel's biggest trigger.Zack and Sky were still in Liesel's hands now. Who else could help him? Who else could he even approach in Ashthorne besides Jacob?Jeffrey couldn't hold it in and let out a chuckle."Natalie, you know I wasn't actually mad at you earlier. I'm just worried this whole thing's spiraling out of control, and we won't be able to handle it."Natalie knew exactly

"For the sake of our safety and everyone else's, please sit properly," Liesel ordered firmly as she kept her eyes on the road.Elijah froze.Liesel glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and raised an eyebrow.A moment later, Elijah realized she'd just teased him in the most deadpan way possible.Amused, he shook his head and couldn't stop smiling."Lili, pull over somewhere. I want to kiss you right now," he said. His voice was both husky and pleasant. As he spoke, he tugged at his collar to reveal his alluring collarbone, deliberately teasing her.Liesel was rendered speechless. "Are you serious?" She'd been joking.Smiling, Elijah shot her a sidelong glance. "There's an underground parking lot just up ahead. We can be there in three minutes. Let's stop there."He was oddly principled about it. He knew better than to park haphazardly on the side of the road and even remembered there was a parking lot nearby.His grin deepened. "What? Are you scared?" He was in a good mo

Denzel sent Jacob a text that said, "Sorry about your beloved."Jacob, who was already headed to the hospital to have a discussion with Denzel, was taken aback when he read the message.What did that mean?Before Denzel could explain, the door opened. Inside, Edward was hugging Ophelia.Denzel had a strange look in his eyes. He looked like he wanted to say something but was holding back. However, Edward didn't overthink it. He merely thanked Denzel and prepared to leave the hospital with Ophelia.Upon hearing that, Denzel's smile froze. "You're welcome."For some reason, it sounded like he was seething. It even sounded a little like "fuck off".Nevertheless, Edward didn't think too much of it. However, he overheard Denzel instructing the janitor to sanitize the entire office, especially the bed and the couch.Edward was speechless. So that was why Denzel had been so hostile earlier.Despite his typically calm and refined demeanor, Edward was furious and embarrassed. "I didn't

Edward had the foresight to turn Ophelia's face toward him so that Denzel's smile was no longer directed at her.Denzel was speechless.All of Denzel's elderly patients wanted to make him their son-in-law, while the young women would secretly fall for his good looks and dream of marrying him. And that wasn't all. There had even been young men who had been so charmed by his smile that they kept asking if he was also into guys.Therefore, Edward didn't want his future fiance to even look at Denzel for a second too long. In his eyes, Denzel was a seductive devil, which was why he had the nickname "Denzel Medusa".Thus, Edward said shamelessly, "If you're done with the wound dressing, then you may leave. I want to discuss some things with Ophelia and also get some rest."Denzel wished he could cut ties with Edward and have the hospital blacklist him.He massaged the spot between his eyebrows. "This is my office."Without any hesitation, Edward asked, "Aren't you single?"In this

"It's my fault. I'll definitely pay attention next time." Edward felt very guilty and sorry."So you want me to get hurt again?" Ophelia tugged on the silver chain around Edward's neck. Her eyes twinkled.She had bought this necklace for him when she was younger. She remembered that it had come with an oval locket, inside which she had inserted a photo of her getting hugged by him on her own accord.She couldn't really remember what the photo looked like anymore, but she had a rough idea. She had picked the photo that she thought she looked the best in.At the time, she had still been really young, but she had been inspired by a television show. She thought that by giving a family member or a lover a gift, they would always think of her whenever they looked at it.Kids were always naive like that. She thought that since he would think of her when he saw her gift anyway, she might as well put a picture of herself inside.Thus, the young Ophelia had picked out a silver necklace and

As if she could sense something, Ophelia looked up. Her indifferent gaze suddenly lit up, and her eyes curved as she smiled.Edward's throat tightened. At this moment, he didn't know whether to feel frustration or heartache.He had been a little late, and Ophelia had ended up getting bullied by a crazy old woman.Edward walked to her side and squeezed her hand gently. Ophelia had no intention of wasting her breath on Veronica. She was waiting for Edward to come and handle her.She pointed at Veronica and said straightforwardly, "She's bullying me."Without a second thought, she continued, "She accused me of bullying her daughter, Yvonne, which is why she came to stir up trouble."Edward frowned. The Ford family didn't have much of a partnership with the Zima family, and Edward had spent a few years studying abroad. The older generation never got to see him much, so Veronica naturally didn't recognize Edward as Matthew's adopted son.Thus, she just assumed that he was another For

"I'm not interested in getting revenge on a celebrity I used to be a fan of. If your daughter received any retribution, it's only because even God couldn't let it continue."If you have so much free time, it would benefit you more to come to church with me instead."Ophelia was about to walk off when Veronica leaped forward. She held onto Ophelia's leg again and refused to allow her to leave. "No, you can't walk away! Yvonne said that she doesn't have a future in the industry anymore after making you angry."You have to forgive her! Aren't you a fan? You can't just stop supporting her. You have to keep liking her. As the daughter of the Ford family, you can give her more opportunities, and she will definitely be able to rise again!" Veronica roared maniacally.Ophelia let out an exasperated chuckle. All of a sudden, she felt like the entire Zima family was full of lunatics.Unable to hold back anymore, she said angrily, "Yvonne has committed a crime. Do you think I'm moronic enoug

Understanding dawned on Ophelia's face. She seemed to have guessed the reason Veronica was here.She found the latter extremely ridiculous and disgusting."Yvonne Zima must be your daughter." Ophelia directly dropped Yvonne's full name. As soon as she uttered that, some of the spectator's expressions changed. Their eyes appeared disdainful and contemptuous as they regarded Veronica."What's the matter? What's the deal with Yvonne?" someone asked hurriedly when he noticed the shift in the others' expressions.A female student with glasses named Monica Stein was carrying a backpack with a Giselle keychain. Clearly, she was a hardcore fan of Giselle.Giselle was one of the women whom Yvonne had schemed against at the training camp. By chance, she was also this student's favorite celebrity.Monica immediately said, "What do you mean, what's the deal with Yvonne? If you don't know this story, then listen up."Yvonne is a manipulative bitch! During the filming of the variety show, it

"Shut up!" Ophelia yelled in a rage.She immediately asked the food truck owner to give her another cup of coffee before pouring it all over Veronica's calf. She was paying her back an eye for an eye.Agonized, Veronica swayed on her feet. Then, she collapsed onto the ground while gnashing her teeth in pain.Ophelia had been raised by none other than the demon himself, Edward. Since she was little, he would always stand in front of her to protect her. Ophelia knew better than anyone how he liked to deal with matters.After Edward left, she had picked up a few things from him. Naturally, she would never let herself get bullied by others."Give me a serving of fries, a taco, some churros, and a hotdog." Ophelia pointed at the menu items on the food truck and rattled on about her order to the owner, who was gaping at her.Ignoring the probing gazes of the people around her, she minded her own business and brought some fries to her mouth. Only then did she feel herself come back to l

Ophelia was so angry that she wanted to cuss at Edward. However, before she could even get mad, she heard Edward's disappointed voice. "Are you regretting this already?"Ophelia was dumbfounded. However, Edward continued slowly, "After giving it a lot of thought, you decided to abandon me. Is that it? I know I'm not good enough… I don't blame you…"Ophelia felt a headache coming on, but the anger had vanished. "No, I'm not thinking of abandoning you."The kiss yesterday had left her so excited that she hadn't slept a wink the entire night.She thought to herself, "If I don't set the record straight, Edward's going to overthink and paint me as a playgirl."She took a deep breath. "After you kissed me… I was really happy, so I only went to bed very late."Edward was obviously also caught off-guard. He hadn't expected to hear that. With delight in his eyes, he said, "I was also really happy that you let me kiss you."Ophelia hummed, and her face flushed red. "I'm really tired," she

Brandon didn't respond right away. Fred continued, "No one taught your mother and sister how to act appropriately in society. Mr. Ford is spending his precious time teaching them what to do and what not to do. Thus, they will have to suffer a bit for this."Mr. Zima, if you really want to help them, then just give your parents the bare minimum financial aid from time to time. As for your sister… you have no obligation to provide for her. Do you understand where I'm coming from?"Brandon couldn't accept it. "My sister's reputation in the industry isn't great right now. If I don't help her, then she really won't be able to survive. Mr. Ford is also an older brother. He should understand what I'm going through."Jacob loved Ophelia, and Brandon also naturally loved Yvonne. It was because of this that he wanted to try getting forgiveness from Ophelia.Fred raised his voice. "Ms. Ford is very warm and never treats people haughtily. She has never used her family background to bully oth
