Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 243
Liesel felt dizzy. She could hardly keep her balance. Elijah instinctively wrapped an arm around her shoulders as his eyes grew a tone darker.Heather's name carried weight, not just domestically but globally. Even after her death, stories about her brilliance and defiance lingered in certain circles. Back then, the holographic industry in Draskia had just begun to rise, but Heather had already proposed to start holographic research through reverse engineering, becoming the first in the country to do so.She founded her own luxury brand and before her death, impulsively shut it down. The dresses she created had long become limited editions. She had participated in overseas art festivals, won awards, and had even been called a treasure by some prince.She was beautiful, elegant, and graceful, but also wilful and wild. All of those traits combined to create the unique Heather.There had been rumors in the industry that if Heather were still alive, the most powerful capital in the

Jeffrey had lost his mind. It was impossible to communicate with him.Liesel stared at him for a while before turning to leave. As she passed by Natalie, who was still standing there in a daze, Liesel scoffed. "Natalie, did you hear that? Your mother was just a toy for my mother. What you thought was real was all just an act."Heather died on his birthday, and it was all for a prank. A bloody joke. Jeffrey had loved her to the point of madness."Natalie shook with anger. She glared at Liesel with fury.Liesel's gaze darkened as she continued walking. Just as she reached the door, Jeffrey's weary voice echoed through the room."Liesel. She's definitely still alive. She's watching you."Liesel paused. "Jeffrey, I think you've really lost it. Heather is dead. Didn't you see her body?"Her voice was cold. She didn't want to keep talking to a madman."It's fake," Jeffrey laughed eerily, his voice chilling. "The body was fake. No one noticed, but I did. Heather ran away. She got bo

Natalie was aware of the urgency of the situation. She nodded and began to formulate a plan in her mind, considering how to approach Jacob for help.The hall was now empty, save for Jeffrey. He sat on the floor, feeling lost and dejected.Though he wasn't young anymore, he had maintained his exercise regimen over the years and, except for social events, rarely indulged in smoking or drinking. He was good-looking, even in his fifties.With one hand on the ground, Jeffrey struggled to rise. His steps were unsteady. He leaned on the staircase railing as he slowly made his way up to the top. He retrieved a key to open a door.His hands trembled as he unlocked the door.The room was covered in dust. With each step, dust fell around him, and he began to cough from the airborne particles.He had avoided opening the door for years, fearing what he might find. The room had been Heather's true sanctuary.He had loved her deeply, and the room was designed specifically for Heather. It conta

The notes weren't written in Heather's diary. They were in a collection of scattered work logs she had kept over the years. Jeffrey couldn't bring himself to do anything more than make a copy of them.At first, he thought that "Jay" was referring to him.But when he read the line, "Dying for love is noble, but I'd live for you," it hit him all at once. He had been fooling himself all along. Heather had never loved him. Her heart had long since been claimed by someone else.She had chosen him only because he resembled that man—because his name was similar to his. He was nothing more than a replacement for Heather.Was Heather selfish? Yes, she was. She was selfish in a way that she couldn't spare even the smallest piece of her love for him. She reserved them all for another man.That man's name was Jay.Jeffrey had deluded himself into believing that Heather would stay with him because he looked like him. He grew more obsessed with his appearance and body. He wasn't the man Heat

Liesel still felt unsettled after leaving the Sharp residence. It felt as though a belief she had held onto for so long had just been completely shattered.She had despised Jeffrey for so long because of Heather's actions, but now she was being told that Jeffrey was the true victim of their relationship. It was absurd."Is she really still alive?" Liesel asked almost to herself.Elijah's gaze darkened, and after a brief pause, he spoke, "Lili, do you know why she started researching holograms? Why, all those years ago, after just attending a lecture, she became obsessed with it?"She wondered if it was just because Heather saw the immense potential of holography and its benefits, or if there was something else."If Jeffrey isn't lying, then Ms. Mallone might have studied holography to connect with her lover in another world. But think about it—if Heather truly longed for love all her life, and after finally perfecting holography, she could link her mind to see the person she yearn

Surrounding the villa was a cluster of buildings styled in the aesthetic of ancient Draskia architecture, evoking an air of timeless grace. Inside the villa's high-tech lab was a woman lying inside a holographic pod. Her striking beauty was undiminished despite the faint lines etched on her face. She possessed the unique allure of a goddess. Suddenly, the machine emitted a sharp noise. Her body jerked as an electric surge coursed through her, yanking her abruptly from the holographic world back into reality. Her eyes flew open, and she gasped. The woman's face bore an uncanny resemblance to Liesel's, yet it was filled with sorrow. While Liesel's beauty was dynamic and sharp-edged, hers was more serene. The woman hidden away on said remote island was Heather, the elusive woman everyone had been searching for."Ms. Mallone, you've failed again."Heather lifted her gaze and gave him a gentle nod. She climbed out of the chamber and reached for a towel to dab the cold sweat from

"Is he still not awake?" the guard asked. Heather lowered her gaze."No. His body has recovered significantly. However, the explosion from that research project caused severe damage to his physiological systems. Add to that the infighting within his family, which delayed his treatment, and we missed the critical window for recovery."Now, we can only rely on neural stimulation to try and wake him up." Her voice was calm, but her excitement betrayed it. She was waiting for him to return. After glancing at the time, the guard left. Once the door clicked shut, Heather pressed a hidden button, revealing a concealed passageway. She followed it to its end, stepping into a pristine, all-white room. Though it resembled a hospital ward, it was more like a private sanctuary. In the center lay a man, motionless. An IV drip delivered nutrients to his frail body. "Jay, I'm back. The neural interface responded more today. Maybe you can sense me now, just a little more."Heather smi

Heather had finally done it. Jeffrey loved her so much that he lost all sense of reason. Even knowing she was dragging his name through the mud, he accepted it without question. The world called him a scumbag, vile, a man who abandoned his family for a mistress—he bore it all. In the end, Heather got what she wanted and escaped to another country. She went to a secluded island with Jason. Jason's condition was dire and his chances of waking were slim, but Heather was relentless. When she first started researching holograms, it was a death wish—to die in the holographic world alongside Jason. But things were different now. Jason was alive, and she had to keep going. The goal of her work shifted: she wanted to develop holographic technology capable of stimulating his brain to bring him back to consciousness. As long as Jason was there, she had a reason to live. She manipulated the Turner family, Jeffrey, and even Liesel—but never Jason. Jason was the only person she couldn't

"I'll never leave him." Not ditching Elijah meant Liesel was rejecting Jacob. After speaking, Liesel refused to talk to Jacob any longer. She didn't even see the struggle and pain in Jacob's eyes as she turned to leave. Even if she noticed, she probably didn't care anymore. Elijah and Liesel got into the car. Xavier didn't get into the same car with them, but he was still tactful enough to hitch a ride in Reuben's car.Liesel drove in silence toward the apartment lobby. "Stop being angry, okay? I apologize." Elijah drew Liesel into his embrace.Although she didn't struggle, she didn't return his hug either. Without a word, she held the remote and drone Howard had given her.Although Elijah held Liesel in his arms, seeing her current expression made him feel terribly empty inside. He kept kissing Liesel's cheeks and ears while murmuring his apologies. "I like you." His hoarse voice sounded pleading. "I said all that because… Lili, I don't want to manipulate you into staying w

Jacob remained standing from a distance while watching Liesel and Elijah's interaction in silence. Jacob became lost in his memories as he recalled that Liesel had never been that affectionate with him before.She wanted to get close to Jacob, but he never opened up to her. Whenever Liesel got close to Jacob, he would handle things with her in a professional manner. They had an employer-employee relationship at Ford Corporation, but they acted more like strangers back at their apartment.Liesel and Jacob couldn't even be considered friends. They would only communicate whenever they needed to satisfy their physical needs.Jacob had seen the most charming side of Liesel, and she only showed him her gentle side. However, Liesel was only ever that carefree with Elijah. In the future, they might be much more affectionate with each other. Elijah… Why didn't he die in the car accident? Why did he survive?Jacob's gaze darkened. His eyes were filled with obvious disdain. "Elijah,"

"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.

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
