Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 249
"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

"Who do you think I'm relying on?" Liesel's voice carried a faint trace of mockery. "Were you hoping to intimidate me by bringing up Jacob?" Zack chuckled awkwardly. He was taking pleasure in her misfortune. "Ms. Sharp, isn't Mr. Ford your protector?" He was baiting her. Liesel found it funny. She had been feeling down these past few days, and Elijah had spent time by her side. That brief lull had allowed someone like Zack to seize what he thought was an advantage. But she wondered if Jacob had ever been her "protector." In other words, when had Jacob ever truly stood behind her and defended her? Never. The smirk on Liesel's face deepened. Satisfied with her silence, Zack quipped, "Ms. Sharp, you came from a poor background. Frankly, you're lucky you've even landed a job at Ford Corporation. But now, Mr. Ford has sided with Jeffrey and the rest of us. If you're smart, you'll know where to stand." Poor background, and lucky to be here; every word hit Liesel like

"One could be minding their business, walking down the street, and a falling stone or steel beam can come out of nowhere and end their lives," Liesel said. "Natural disasters, accidents—these things are beyond anyone's control. Jacob isn't a god, after all, is he?" She hadn't outright said anything would happen to them, but every word carried the weight of an ominous certainty. Zack felt a chill creep through his body. "You're lying! You're just trying to scare me! You're nothing more than a manager at Ford Corporation! How could you possibly stand against Mr. Ford? He said he'd protect me, and he will!" Liesel crossed her arms as a chuckle escaped her lips. "If you're so confident in Jacob's influence, then surely you've also heard of my fiancé, Elijah." The name hit Zack like a ton of bricks. His face drained of color, and his lips quivered as terror flickered in his wide eyes. Liesel raised her eyebrows slightly, then took a step back. Zack dropped to his knees. Te

The door to the conference room swung open. Jacob emerged first. His gaze immediately landed on the scene before him. Under the cool lighting were two figures standing close to each other. They were Liesel and Elijah. Liesel's smile was soft and radiant.Jacob's throat tightened. He asked himself if Liesel had ever smiled at him like that in their three years of marriage.No, she hadn't. And, perhaps, it was because of him that she never had. Behind him, the executives of Ford Corporation filed out. Some of them were longtime supporters of Liesel while others quietly resented her presence. After all, she was a woman who occupied such a pivotal managerial role. She had recently turned down the partnership with Dash, sparing Ford Corporation from a disastrous deal. No one could fault her now, even if they wanted to. "You're late, Ms. Sharp. We missed your insight during the discussions!" "We panicked a little without your presence in the meeting.""Would you like t

"Just get some rest, and then come back to Ford Corporation." Jacob seemed desperate to escape. He wanted to avoid the conversation he knew was coming. Liesel remained motionless. Her gaze was fixed on Jacob's broad, retreating figure. "Jacob, I'm exhausted." Jacob didn't stop. "You really don't understand why I'm resigning?" Liesel stood in place as she continued, "Henry's death is tied to you."Jacob froze. "Natalie's feud with Bromwich—you were the one who mediated it."Jacob turned, but he couldn't face her eyes. Liesel wasn't done."And you've destroyed the evidence of Jeffrey's proxy test taker scandal. You let him walk away unscathed." Each accusation was a statement, not a question. "For three years, I worked at Ford Corporation and stayed by your side. And in all that time, I couldn't figure you out, Jacob. I couldn't see through you. I still don't understand how you could be so cruel to me."You knew who sent Henry. And Elijah's car accident? You know th

Liesel stood where she was with Elijah close behind her. Despite the tension in the air, Liesel maintained a serene smile, while Elijah tilted his head slightly as he challenged Jacob."Mr. Ford, she has said enough. It's time to let her go." He scoffed. "Besides, haven't you already let her go? You're divorced, yet you're still forcing your ex-wife to work here. Mr. Ford, that's a bit much, don't you think?"Elijah's words were a direct jab aimed at Jacob. Liesel didn't even look at Jacob as she fiddled with her phone. She seemed weary.There was a stark difference from the Liesel who would have once defended Jacob against any attack. Today, she stood in front of him but didn't even spare him a glance. It was as if nothing about him was worth her attention anymore.Jacob's fist tightened. His fury boiled over as he threw a punch at Elijah. "It's you who told her everything!"Elijah caught his fist with a firm grip and then retaliated with a forceful shove back. "You broke the agr

"The position of Hardin Group's president's wife is all hers if she wants it. I'll even step down and hand her the title of president itself. I'm prepared to give her everything I have. Can you say the same, Mr. Ford?"Don't give me that nonsense about getting tired of her, or about her leaving me one day. Even if that day comes, the money, power, and status that I'm offering now will still stand. It's enough for her to destroy me if she chooses. That's my sincerity. No one can match it."Elijah cast a final glance at Charles. "Only when your precious Mr. Ford is ready to give up everything willingly can he talk about competing with me."Charles stayed silent. It was undeniable that Elijah's offer wasn't just bait. It was a tangible, overwhelming promise. Charles had no justification to stop Liesel from accepting it. Elijah and Liesel had entered Ford Corporation together, and now, they left together. Drew ruffled his hair in frustration. "The Iron Triangle is down to two. Can the

"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
